Benchmarking non-targeted metabolomics using yeast extract controls
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Non-target analysis based on high resolution mass spectrometry calls for quality controls to validate analytical workflows. So far no community-wide used quality control material has been established in metabolomics. In this work, we propose ethanolic yeast extracts derived from Pichia pastoris in vivo fermentation as stable and cheap controls. The provided open-source database of ca. 200 annotated metabolites enables to benchmark the coverage of non-targeted metabolomics workflows.

Project description:To identify the expression profiles of circRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) patients and healthy controls, we used circRNA sequencing to detect circRNA in 3 samples of PBMCs from AS patients and 3 samples of PBMCs from healthy controls. In brief, total RNA was extracted and purified using Magen Hipure Total RNA Mini Kit (Magen, Guangzhou, China), followed by constructing RNA sequencing libraries with KAPA RNA HyperPrep Kit with RiboErase (Kapa Biosystems, Inc., MA, USA). After the construction of RNA sequencing libraries, Qubit 3.0 fluorometer (Invitrogen, CA, USA) and the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Applied Biosystems, CA, USA) were used for quality control. Then, the PE150 mode of HiSeq X10 (Illumina Inc., CA, USA) was used for sequencing. Differentially expressed circRNAs were screened with criteria of fold-change>1.5 and p<0.05.

Project description:Background: Around 5% of children with asthma suffer from chronic symptoms and/or severe exacerbations despite extensive treatment. The causes of severe therapy-resistant childhood asthma are poorly understood. Objectives: To define global patterns of gene expression in severe therapy-resistant vs. controlled asthma and healthy controls. Methods: Children with severe, therapy-resistant (SA, n=20) and controlled asthma (CA, n=20) were identified from a Swedish nation-wide study including extensive clinical and immunological characterisation. In addition, healthy controls were recruited (Ctrl, n=19). White blood cells were isolated and the global transcriptome profile was characterised using the Affymetrix Human Gene ST 1.0 chip. Results: 1378 genes were differentially expressed in one or several of the CA vs. Ctrl, SA vs. CA or SA vs. Ctrl contrasts. A large number could uniquely differentiate the SA group from the CA (n=351 genes) and Ctrl (n=315) groups, whereas fewer genes differentiated the CA from the Ctrl group (n=149). Several non-coding RNAs were found up-regulated in SA compared to CA or Ctrl. Three significantly enriched KEGG pathways were represented; bitter taste transduction, TAS2Rs (up-regulated mostly in SA), natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity (up-regulated in CA) and N-Glycan biosynthesis (down-regulated in SA). An unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the 1378 genes could crudely separate the SA, CA and Ctrl individuals. Conclusion: Our data indicate a separation in gene expression patterns between children with severe, therapy-resistant asthma and controlled persistent asthma, and suggest novel pathways characterizing the severe therapy-resistant asthma phenotype. The transcriptomes of 59 subjects were assayed on the Affymetrix Human Gene ST 1.0 expression array. All samples passed pre-hybridisation quality control. After pre-processing and quality control of the post-hybridised arrays, five samples were regarded as outliers and removed (ctrl 510, MA 248, SA 141, SA 261, SA 41). The remaining sample set of 17 severe asthmatics (SA), 19 mild asthmatics (MA) and 18 controls (ctrl) were used for down-stream analysis.

Project description:Proteomic workflows based on nanoLC-MS/MS data-dependent-acquisition analysis have progressed tremendously in recent years due to the technical improvement of mass spectrometers, and now allow to extensively characterize complex protein mixtures. High-resolution and fast sequencing instruments have enabled the use of label-free quantitative methods, which appear as an attractive way to analyze differential protein expression in complex biological samples. Classical label-free quantitative workflows are based either on spectral counting of MS/MS sequencing scans for each protein, or on the extraction of peptide ion peak area values in the LC-MS map composed of all the survey MS scans acquired during the chromatographic gradient. However, the computational processing of the data for label-free quantification still remains a challenge. Here, we provide a dual proteomic standard composed of an equimolar mixture of 48 human proteins (Sigma UPS1) spiked at different concentrations into a background of yeast cell lysate, that was used to benchmark several label-free quantitative workflows, involving different software packages developed in recent years. This experimental design allowed to finely assess their performances in terms of sensitivity and false discovery rate, by measuring the number of true and false-positive (respectively UPS1 or yeast background proteins found as differential). This dataset can also be used to benchmark other label-free workflows, adjust software parameter settings, improve algorithms for extraction of the quantitative metrics from raw MS data, or evaluate downstream statistical methods

Project description:Most (70%) epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) are diagnosed late. Non-invasive biomarkers that facilitate disease detection and predict outcome are needed. The microRNAs (miRNAs) represent a new class of biomarkers. This study was to identify and validate plasma miRNAs as biomarkers in EOC. We evaluated plasma samples of 360 EOC patients and 200 healthy controls from two institutions. All samples were grouped into screening, training and validation sets. We scanned the circulating plasma miRNAs by TaqMan low-density array in the screening set and identified/validated miRNA markers by real-time polymerase chain reaction assay in the training set. Receiver operating characteristic and logistic regression analyses established the diagnostic miRNA panel, which were confirmed in the validationsets. We found higher plasma miR-205 and lower let-7f expression in cases than in controls. MiR-205 and let-7f together provided high diagnostic accuracy for EOC, especially in patients with stage I disease. The combination of these two miRNAs and carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA-125) further improved the accuracy of detection. MiR-483-5p expression was elevated in stages III and IV compared with in stages I and II, which was consistent with its expression pattern in tumor tissues. Furthermore, lower levels of let-7f were predictive of poor prognosis in EOC patients. Our findings indicate that plasma miR-205 and let-7f are biomarkers for ovarian cancer detection that complement CA-125; let-7f may be predictive of ovarian cancer prognosis.

Project description:Direct-infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) metabolomics is an important approach for characterising molecular responses of organisms to disease, drugs and the environment. Increasingly large-scale metabolomics studies are being conducted, necessitating improvements in both bioanalytical and computational workflows to maintain data quality. This dataset represents a systematic evaluation of the reproducibility of a multi-batch DIMS metabolomics study of cardiac tissue extracts. It comprises of twenty biological samples (cow vs. sheep) that were analysed repeatedly, in 8 batches across 7 days, together with a concurrent set of quality control (QC) samples. Data are presented from each step of the workflow and are available in MetaboLights. The strength of the dataset is that intra- and inter-batch variation can be corrected using QC spectra and the quality of this correction assessed independently using the repeatedly-measured biological samples. Originally designed to test the efficacy of a batch-correction algorithm, it will enable others to evaluate novel data processing algorithms. Furthermore, this dataset serves as a benchmark for DIMS metabolomics, derived using best-practice workflows and rigorous quality assessment.

Project description:Purpose: The purpose of this study is to measure the changes in liver transcriptome in response to short-term fasting between 5 and 10 h where the rats were dosed with 6 ml/kg of polyethylene glycol vehicle at 0 h Methods: Total RNA was isolated from the liver, using TRIzol Reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) and the direct-zol RNA Mini Prep kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA). The isolated RNA samples were then submitted to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center VANTAGE Core (Nashville, TN) for RNA quality determination and sequencing. Total RNA quality was assessed using a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). At least 200 ng of DNase-treated total RNA with high RNA integrity was used to generate poly-A-enriched mRNA libraries, using KAPA Stranded mRNA sample kits with indexed adaptors (Roche, Indianapolis, IN). Library quality was assessed using the 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent), and libraries were quantitated using KAPA library Quantification kits (Roche). Pooled libraries were subjected to 75-bp single-end sequencing according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Illumina HiSeq3000, San Diego, CA). Results: No genes were were found to be differentially expressed with a false discovery rate less than 0.1 Conclusions: There were no significant changes in liver gene expression between 5 and 10 h of fasting
