Respiromics - An integrative analysis linking mitochondrial bioenergetics to molecular signatures.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Energy metabolism is challenged upon nutrient stress, eventually leading to a variety of metabolic diseases that represent a major global health burden. METHODS:Here, we combine quantitative mitochondrial respirometry (Seahorse technology) and proteomics (LC-MS/MS-based total protein approach) to understand how molecular changes translate to changes in mitochondrial energy transduction during diet-induced obesity (DIO) in the liver. RESULTS:The integrative analysis reveals that significantly increased palmitoyl-carnitine respiration is supported by an array of proteins enriching lipid metabolism pathways. Upstream of the respiratory chain, the increased capacity for ATP synthesis during DIO associates strongest to mitochondrial uptake of pyruvate, which is routed towards carboxylation. At the respiratory chain, robust increases of complex I are uncovered by cumulative analysis of single subunit concentrations. Specifically, nuclear-encoded accessory subunits, but not mitochondrial-encoded or core units, appear to be permissive for enhanced lipid oxidation. CONCLUSION:Our integrative analysis, that we dubbed "respiromics", represents an effective tool to link molecular changes to functional mechanisms in liver energy metabolism, and, more generally, can be applied for mitochondrial analysis in a variety of metabolic and mitochondrial disease models.

Project description:BackgroundIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a devastating disease with a high clinical burden. The molecular signatures of IPF were analyzed to distinguish molecular subgroups and identify key driver genes and therapeutic targets.MethodsThirteen datasets of lung tissue transcriptomics including 585 IPF patients and 362 normal controls were obtained from the databases and subjected to filtration of differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A functional enrichment analysis, agglomerative hierarchical clustering, network-based key driver analysis, and diffusion scoring were performed, and the association of enriched pathways and clinical parameters was evaluated.ResultsA total of 2,967 upregulated DEGs was filtered during the comparison of gene expression profiles of lung tissues between IPF patients and healthy controls. The core molecular network of IPF featured p53 signaling pathway and cellular senescence. IPF patients were classified into two molecular subgroups (C1, C2) via unsupervised clustering. C1 was more enriched in the p53 signaling pathway and ciliated cells and presented a worse prognostic score, while C2 was more enriched for cellular senescence, profibrosing pathways, and alveolar epithelial cells. The p53 signaling pathway was closely correlated with a decline in forced vital capacity and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity and with the activation of cellular senescence. CDK1/2, CKDNA1A, CSNK1A1, HDAC1/2, FN1, VCAM1, and ITGA4 were the key regulators as evidence by high diffusion scores in the disease module. Currently available and investigational drugs showed differential diffusion scores in terms of their target molecules.ConclusionsAn integrative molecular analysis of IPF lungs identified two molecular subgroups with distinct pathobiological characteristics and clinical prognostic scores. Inhibition against CDKs or HDACs showed great promise for controlling lung fibrosis. This approach provided molecular insights to support the prediction of clinical outcomes and the selection of therapeutic targets in IPF patients.
