MetabolomicsMechanistic insights revealed by lipid profiling in monogenic insulin resistance syndromes (Human data)
Evidence from several recent metabolomic studies suggests that increased concentrations of triacylglycerols (TAGs) with shorter (14-16 carbon atoms), saturated fatty acids are associated with insulin resistance and the risk of type 2 diabetes. Although causality cannot be inferred from association s...

MetabolomicsOsh2 mediates Candida resistance to miltefosine by regulating zymosterol transport
Miltefosine has been identified for its antifungal properties, yet the mechanisms underlying its action and the development of resistance remain unclear. In this study, we induced drug resistance in various Candida species through concentration gradient exposure, successfully obtaining a miltefosine...

MetabolomicsGlobal Analyses of Selective Insulin Resistance in Hepatocytes due to Palmitate Lipotoxicity
Obesity is tightly linked to hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance. One feature of this association is the paradox of selective insulin resistance: insulin fails to suppress hepatic gluconeogenesis but activates lipid synthesis in the liver. How lipid accumulation interferes selectively with some...

MetabolomicsParabacteroides distasonis ameliorates insulin resistance via activation of intestinal GPR109a
Gut microbiota plays a key role in insulin resistance (IR). Here we perform a case-control study of Chinese adults (ChiCTR2200065715) and identify that Parabacteroides distasonis is inversely correlated with IR. Treatment with P. distasonis improves IR, strengthens intestinal integrity, and reduces ...

MetabolomicsDysregulation of Streptococcus pneumoniae zinc homeostasis breaks ampicillin resistance in a pneumonia infection model

Streptococcus pneumoniae is the primary cause of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia with rates of penicillin and multi-drug resistance exceeding 80% and 40%, respectively. The innate immune response generates a variety of antimicrobial agents to control infection including zinc stres...

MetabolomicsMetabolomics analysis identifies metabolites associated with systemic acquired resistance in Arabidopsis

BACKGROUND: Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) is a plant defense response that provides long-lasting, broad-spectrum pathogen resistance to uninfected distal leaves following an initial localized infection. However, little information is available on the molecular biological bas...

MetabolomicsTranscriptional differentiation of Trypanosoma brucei during in vitro acquisition of resistance to acoziborole

Subspecies of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei are the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), a debilitating neglected tropical disease prevalent across sub-Saharan Africa. HAT case numbers have steadily decreased since the start of the century, and sustainable...

MetabolomicsPlant elicitor peptide signalling confers rice resistance to piercing-sucking insect herbivores and pathogens
Rice is a staple food crop worldwide, and its production is severely threatened by phloem-feeding insect herbivores, particularly the brown planthopper (BPH, Nilaparvata lugens), and destructive pathogens. Despite the identification of many BPH resistance genes, the molecular basis of rice resistanc...

MetabolomicsLipid biomarkers for algal resistance to viral infection in the ocean

Marine viruses play a key role in regulating phytoplankton populations, greatly affecting the biogeochemical cycling of major nutrients in the ocean. Resistance to viral infection has been reported for various phytoplankton species under laboratory conditions. Nevertheless, the occurrence of resi...

MetabolomicsCell Membrane Remodeling Mediates Polymyxin B Resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae: An Integrated Proteomics and Metabolomics Study
Polymyxin B (PB) is introduced into the clinic as the last-line therapy against carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP). Unfortunately, increased resistance to PB in Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) has threatened global health. Resistance of K. pneumoniae ...
