Project description:MicroRNAs are important negative regulators of protein coding gene expression, and have been studied intensively over the last few years. To this purpose, different measurement platforms to determine their RNA abundance levels in biological samples have been developed. In this study, we have systematically compared 12 commercially available microRNA expression platforms by measuring an identical set of 20 standardized positive and negative control samples, including human universal reference RNA, human brain RNA and titrations thereof, human serum samples, and synthetic spikes from homologous microRNA family members. We developed novel quality metrics in order to objectively assess platform performance of very different technologies such as small RNA sequencing, RT-qPCR and (microarray) hybridization. We assessed reproducibility, sensitivity, quantitative performance, and specificity. The results indicate that each method has its strengths and weaknesses, which helps guiding informed selection of a quantitative microRNA gene expression platform in function of particular study goals.

Project description:Fluxomics is an innovative -omics research field that measures the rates of all intracellular fluxes in the central metabolism of biological systems. Fluxomics gathers data from multiple different -omics fields, portraying the whole picture of molecular interactions. Recently, fluxomics has become one of the most relevant approaches to investigate metabolic phenotypes. Metabolic flux using 13C-labeled molecules is increasingly used to monitor metabolic pathways, to probe the corresponding gene-RNA and protein-metabolite interaction networks in actual time. Thus, fluxomics reveals the functioning of multi-molecular metabolic pathways and is increasingly applied in biotechnology and pharmacology. Here, we describe the main fluxomics approaches and experimental platforms. Moreover, we summarize recent fluxomic results in different biological systems.

Project description:Trastuzumab has proven its effectiveness in gastric cancer with HER-2 gene-amplification, which has now developed resistance while the mechanism of which is not fully elucidated. Our previous studies demonstrated that the activity of GATA6 binding protein 6 (GATA6) enhanced prominently in trastuzumab resistant gastric cancer cell lines (NCI N87R and MKN45R). In the present study, we further confirmed the re-sensitization to trastuzumab and inhibition of mitochondrial functions of GATA6 knockout sublines (NCI N87R/ΔGATA6 and MKN45R/ΔGATA6). Moreover, we applied untargeted metabolomic profiling to investigate the potential roles of GATA6 in metabolism of NCI N87R and MKN45R. The UPLC system coupled with Q-Exactive Focus Orbitrap mass spectrometry, multivariate in combination with univariate analysis were performed for the screening of differential metabolites between resistant cells and GATA6 knockout sublines. A total of 68 and 59 endogenous metabolites were found to be altered significantly in NCI N87R/ΔGATA6 and MKN45R/ΔGATA6 cells compared with NCI N87R and MKN45R, respectively. Pathway analyses indicated disturbance of metabolic pathways after GATA6 knockout including tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, glycolysis and energy-related amino acid pathways. An integrated proteomics-metabolomics revealed that sub-networks were closely related to TCA cycle, glycolysis, multiple amino acid and nucleotide metabolism. Western blot showed that TCA cycle and glycolysis-related molecules, including PKM, GLS, GLUL and LDHA, were downregulated in GATA6 knockout sublines. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that GATA6 is involved in metabolism reprogramming which might contribute to trastuzumab resistance in gastric cancer.

Project description:The severe harm of depression to human life has attracted great attention to neurologists, but its pathogenesis is extremely complicated and has not yet been fully elaborated. Here, we provided a new strategy for revealing the specific pathways of abnormal brain glucose catabolism in depression, which from the supply of energy substrates and the evaluation of mitochondrial structure and function. By using stable isotope-resolved metabolomics technique, we discovered the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) is blocked and the gluconeogenesis is abnormally activated in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) rats. In addition, our results showed an interesting phenomenon that the brain attempted to activate all possible metabolic enzymes in energy-producing pathways, but CUMS rats still exhibited a low TCA cycle activity due to impaired mitochondria. Depression caused mitochondrial structure and function impaired, and then led to abnormal brain glucose catabolism. The combination of the stable isotope-resolved metabolomics and mitochondrial structure and function analysis can accurately clarify the mechanism of depression. The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier and acetyl-CoA maybe the key targets for depression treatment. The strategy provides a unique insight for exploring the mechanism of depression, the discovery of new targets, and the development of ideal novel antidepressants.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to screen differential metabolites of gastric cancer (GC) and identify the key metabolic pathways of GC. GC (n=28) and matched paracancerous (PC) tissues were collected, and LC-MS/MS analysis were performed to detect metabolites of GC and PC tissues. Metabolite pathways based on differential metabolites were enriched by MetaboAnalyst, and genes related to metabolite pathways were identified using the KEGGREST function of the R software package. Transcriptomics data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was analyzed to obtain differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of GC. Overlapping genes were acquired from metabonimics and transcriptomics data. Pathway enrichment analysis was performed using String. The protein expression of genes was validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database. A total of 325 key metabolites were identified, 111 of which were differentially expressed between the GC and PC groups. Seven metabolite pathways enriched by MetaboAnalyst were chosen, and 361 genes were identified by KEGGREST. A total of 2831 DEGs were identified from the TCGA cohort. Of these, 1317 were down-regulated, and 1636 were up-regulated. Twenty-two overlapping genes were identified between genes related to metabolism and DEGs. Glycerophospholipid (GPL) metabolism is likely associated with GC, of which AGPAT9 and ETNPPL showed lower expressed in GC tissues. We investigated the tissue-based metabolomics profile of GC, and several differential metabolites were identified. GPL metabolism may affect on progression of GC.

Project description:While recent advances in metabolomic measurement technologies have been dramatic, extracting biological insight from complex metabolite profiles remains a challenge. We present an analytical strategy that uses data obtained from high resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and a bioinformatics toolset for detecting actively changing metabolic pathways upon external perturbation. We begin with untargeted metabolite profiling to nominate altered metabolites and identify pathway candidates, followed by validation of those pathways with transcriptomics. Using the model organisms Rhodospirillum rubrum and Bacillus subtilis, our results reveal metabolic pathways that are interconnected with methionine salvage. The rubrum-type methionine salvage pathway is interconnected with the active methyl cycle in which re-methylation, a key reaction for recycling methionine from homocysteine, is unexpectedly suppressed; instead, homocysteine is catabolized by the transsulfuration pathway. Notably, the non-mevalonate pathway is repressed, whereas the rubrum-type methionine salvage pathway contributes to isoprenoid biosynthesis upon 5'-methylthioadenosine feeding. In this process, glutathione functions as a coenzyme in vivo when 1-methylthio-d-xylulose 5-phosphate (MTXu 5-P) methylsulfurylase catalyzes dethiomethylation of MTXu 5-P. These results clearly show that our analytical approach enables unexpected metabolic pathways to be uncovered.

Project description:Methylated DNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (MeDIP-Seq) is a widely used approach to study DNA methylation genome-wide. Here, we present a novel MeDIP-Seq protocol compatible with the Ion Torrent semiconductor-based sequencing platform that is scalable and accurately identifies sites of differential DNA methylation. Additionally, we demonstrate that the high-throughput data derived from MeDIP-Seq on the Ion Torrent platform provides adequate coverage of CpG cytosines, the methylation states of which we validated at single-base resolution on the Infinium HumanMethylation450K Beadchip array. We applied this integrative approach to further investigate the role of DNA methylation in alternative splicing and to profile 5-mC and 5-hmC variants of DNA methylation in normal human brain tissue that we observed localize over distinct genomic regions. These applications of MeDIP-Seq on the Ion Torrent platform have broad utility and add to the current methodologies for profiling genome-wide DNA methylation states in normal and disease conditions.

Project description:Cotton is regarded as one of the significant economic crops in China, and its earliness is defined as one of the crucial traits influencing fiber quality and yield. To study the physiological and biochemical mechanisms related to early-maturing traits of cotton, cotton shoot apexes at the one-leaf, three-leaf, and five-leaf stages of the early-maturing cotton CCRI50 and late-maturing cotton Guoxinmian11 were collected for transcriptome sequencing and metabolomics, respectively. A total of 616, 782, and 842 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) at the one-leaf stage, three-leaf stage, and five-leaf stage were obtained through transcriptome sequencing, respectively. The metabolic detection results showed that 68, 56, and 62 differential metabolites (DMs) were obtained in the three periods, respectively. A total of 10 DMs were detected simultaneously from the one-leaf to five-leaf stage, 4 of which were phenolic acids and down-regulated in the early maturing variety CCRI50. A combined transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis revealed that phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, tyrosine metabolism, and phenylalanine metabolism might be important metabolic pathways in cotton bud differentiation. GhTYDC-A01 was identified in both the tyrosine metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism pathways, and it was highly expressed in pistils. To investigate the function of this gene in flowering, we overexpressed it in Arabidopsis thaliana. Compared to the wild type, the flowering time of the overexpression of GhTYDC-A01 in Arabidopsis was delayed. This study provides valuable resources and new insights into the relationship between metabolites and early-maturing cotton.
