Rapid LC-MS drug metabolite profiling using microsomal enzyme bioreactors in a parallel processing format.

ABSTRACT: Silica nanoparticle bioreactors featuring thin films of enzymes and polyions were utilized in a novel high-throughput 96-well plate format for drug metabolism profiling. The utility of the approach was illustrated by investigating the metabolism of the drugs diclofenac (DCF), troglitazone (TGZ), and raloxifene, for which we observed known metabolic oxidation and bioconjugation pathways and turnover rates. A broad range of enzymes was included by utilizing human liver (HLM), rat liver (RLM) and bicistronic human-cyt P450 3A4 (bicis.-3A4) microsomes as enzyme sources. This parallel approach significantly shortens sample preparation steps compared to an earlier manual processing with nanoparticle bioreactors, allowing a range of significant enzyme reactions to be processed simultaneously. Enzyme turnover rates using the microsomal bioreactors were 2-3 fold larger compared to using conventional microsomal dispersions, most likely because of better accessibility of the enzymes. Ketoconazole (KET) and quinidine (QIN), substrates specific to cyt P450 3A enzymes, were used to demonstrate applicability to establish potentially toxic drug-drug interactions involving enzyme inhibition and acceleration.

Project description:BackgroundEsophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a rarely curable disease and is rapidly rising worldwide in incidence. Barret's esophagus (BE) and high-grade dysplasia (HGD) are considered major risk factors for invasive adenocarcinoma. In the current study, unbiased global metabolic profiling methods were applied to serum samples from patients with EAC, BE and HGD, and healthy individuals, in order to identify metabolite based biomarkers associated with the early stages of EAC with the goal of improving prognostication.Methodology/principal findingsSerum metabolite profiles from patients with EAC (n?=?67), BE (n?=?3), HGD (n?=?9) and healthy volunteers (n?=?34) were obtained using high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods. Twelve metabolites differed significantly (p<0.05) between EAC patients and healthy controls. A partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) model had good accuracy with the area under the receiver operative characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.82. However, when the results of LC-MS were combined with 8 metabolites detected by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in a previous study, the combination of NMR and MS detected metabolites provided a much superior performance, with AUROC?=?0.95. Further, mean values of 12 of these metabolites varied consistently from healthy controls to the high-risk individuals (BE and HGD patients) and EAC subjects. Altered metabolic pathways including a number of amino acid pathways and energy metabolism were identified based on altered levels of numerous metabolites.Conclusions/significanceMetabolic profiles derived from the combination of LC-MS and NMR methods readily distinguish EAC patients and potentially promise important routes to understanding the carcinogenesis and detecting the cancer. Differences in the metabolic profiles between high-risk individuals and the EAC indicate the possibility of identifying the patients at risk much earlier to the development of the cancer.

Project description:Idiopathic REM sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is now considered a prodromal stage of an ?-synucleinopathy-related to neurodegenerative disease such as Parkinson's diseases. Emerging evidence has shown that post-translational modification or glycosylation are implicated in dynamic disease mechanisms and the onset of many pathological conditions. We hypothesized that the characterization of the glycosylation pattern of patients with RBD would be of great value to understand the pathophysiology and underlying mechanisms and represent potentially useful biomarkers for disease-associated molecular changes. To test this hypothesis, we assessed the serum glycome of patients with RBD and compared to that of healthy controls. NanoRPLC-MS was used to generate quantitative N-glycan profiles while high-temperature PGC-LC-MS platform was employed to generate quantitative isomeric N-glycan profiles. By analyzing permethylated glycans derived from human blood sera on C18-LC-MS/MS, we identified 59 N-glycan structures in healthy (control) cohort, 56 N-glycans in RBD cohort. Sixteen N-glycans structures were found to be significantly altered in the RBD cohort (p < 0.05). N-glycans with the composition of HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 , HexNAc5 Hex5 , and HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc1 presented the most substantial difference between controls and RBD patients (p < 0.01). HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc1 showed a relatively high abundance (3.1 ± 0.7% in the control cohort versus 4 ± 3% in the idiopathic RBD cohort). These N-glycans can be potential diagnostic biomarker candidates and provide a window into underlying neurodegenerative processes in patients with idiopathic RBD. In addition, 7 N-glycan isomers were significantly different between controls and RBD patients (p < 0.05). HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc1 (4511-2) and HexNAc4 Hex5 Fuc1 NeuAc2 (4512-2) showed the most substantial difference between the control and idiopathic RBD cohorts (p < 0.001). Levels of both these two isomeric structures were higher in the idiopathic RBD cohort. Further larger studies are required to assess the reproducibility of these findings and to elucidate the role played by the changes in glycan structures in the pathogenetic mechanisms of RBD. This information will be instrumental in developing molecular therapeutic targets to promote neuroprotection and prevention of neurodegeneration.
