Individual variability in human blood metabolites identifies age-related differences (30 persons, plasma data)


ABSTRACT: Metabolites present in human blood document individual physiological states influenced by genetic, epigenetic, and life-style factors. Using high-resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we performed non-targeted, quantitative metabolomics analysis in blood of 15 young (29±4 yr) and 15 elderly (81±7 yr) individuals. Coefficients of variation (CV=standard deviation/mean) were obtained for 126 blood metabolites of all 30 donors. Fifty-five RBC-enriched metabolites, for which metabolomics studies have been scarce, are highlighted here. We found fourteen blood compounds that show remarkable age-related increases or decreases; they include 1,5-anhydroglucitol, dimethyl-guanosine, acetyl-carnosine, carnosine, ophthalmic acid, UDP-acetyl-glucosamine, N-acetyl-arginine, N6-acetyl-lysine, pantothenate, citrulline, leucine, isoleucine, NAD+, NADP+. Six of them are RBC-enriched, suggesting that RBC metabolomics is highly valuable for human aging research. Age differences are partly explained by a decrease in anti-oxidant production or increasing inefficiency of urea metabolism among the elderly. Pearson’s coefficients demonstrated that some age-related compounds are correlated, suggesting that aging affects them concomitantly. While our CV values are mostly consistent with those previously published, we here report novel CVs of 51 blood compounds. Compounds having moderate to high CV values (0.4-2.5) are often modified. Compounds having low CV values such as ATP and glutathione may be related to various diseases as their concentrations are strictly controlled, and changes in them would compromise health. Thus human blood is a rich source of information about individual metabolic differences.

Data from three injections of the same sample and three samples prepared from the same donated blood are available under accession number MTBLS263. Blood samples drawn from four volunteers four times within 24 h are available under accession number MTBLS264. Whole blood metabolomic data from all 30 subjects are available under accession number MTBLS265. RBC data from all 30 subjects can be found under MTBLS267.
