Untargeted Metabolomics Studies of H9c2 Cardiac Cells Submitted to Oxidative Stress, β-Adrenergic Stimulation and Doxorubicin Treatment: Investigation of Cardiac Biomarkers

ABSTRACT: One of the biggest challenges in the search for more effective treatments for diseases is understanding their etiology. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are an important example of this, given the high number of deaths annually. Oxidative stress (the imbalance between oxidant and antioxidant species in biological system) is one of the factors responsible for CVD occurrence, demanding extensive investigation. Excess of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are primarily responsible for this condition, and clinical and scientific literature have reported a significant increase in ROS when therapeutic drugs, such as doxorubicin and isoproterenol, are administered. In this context, the aim of this study is the investigation of potential biomarkers that might be associated with oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. For this purpose, H9c2 cardiomyocytes were submitted to oxidative stress conditions by treatment with doxorubicin (DOX), isoproterenol (ISO) and hydrogen peroxide (PER). Metabolomics analyses of the cell extract and the supernatant obtained from the culture medium were then evaluated by CE-ESI(+)-TOF-MS. Following signal processing, statistical analyses, and molecular features annotations, the results indicate changes in the aspartate, serine, pantothenic acid, glycerophosphocholine and glutathione metabolism in the cell extract.

Comprehending Cardiac Dysfunction by Oxidative Stress: Untargeted Metabolomics of <i>In Vitro</i> Samples.

Project description:Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are noncommunicable diseases known for their complex etiology and high mortality rate. Oxidative stress (OS), a condition in which the release of free radical exceeds endogenous antioxidant capacity, is pivotal in CVC, such as myocardial infarction, ischemia/reperfusion, and heart failure. Due to the lack of information about the implications of OS on cardiovascular conditions, several methodologies have been applied to investigate the causes and consequences, and to find new ways of diagnosis and treatment as well. In the present study, cardiac dysfunction was evaluated by analyzing cells' alterations with untargeted metabolomics, after simulation of an oxidative stress condition using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in H9c2 myocytes. Optimizations of H2O2 concentration, cell exposure, and cell recovery times were performed through MTT assays. Intracellular metabolites were analyzed right after the oxidative stress (oxidative stress group) and after 48 h of cell recovery (recovery group) by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) in positive and negative ESI ionization mode. Significant alterations were found in pathways such as "alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism", "glycolysis", and "glutathione metabolism", mostly with increased metabolites (upregulated). Furthermore, our results indicated that the LC-MS method is effective for studying metabolism in cardiomyocytes and generated excellent fit (R2Y > 0.987) and predictability (Q2 > 0.84) values.

Investigation of pathogenesis of hyperuricemia based on untargeted and targeted metabolomics.

Project description:Hyperuricemia (HUA) seriously harms human health but the exact etiology and pathogenesis of HUA are not fully understood. Therefore, it is still of great significance to find effective biomarkers and explore the pathogenesis of HUA. Metabolomics reflects the influence of internal and external factors on system metabolism, explains the changes in metabolite levels during the development of diseases, and reveals the molecular mechanism of pathogenesis. Metabolomics is divided into untargeted metabolomics and targeted metabolomics according to different research modes. Each other's advantages can be fully utilized by combining the two so that the results of metabolomics research can be consummated. 20 HUA patients and 20 healthy individuals participated in the experiment, and untargeted metabolomics was employed to find 50 differential metabolites in HUA serum samples. Twelve candidate biomarkers were screened based on literature research and ROC Curve analysis for subsequent verification. Based on the UPLC-TQ-MS analysis platform, the targeted metabolomics detection methods were established and the content of 12 candidate biomarkers was precisely quantified. Compare with the results of untargeted metabolomics, the targeted metabolomics results were considered more reliable.

PP2 prevents ?-adrenergic stimulation of cardiac pacemaker activity.

Project description:One of the main strategies for cancer therapy is to use tyrosine kinase inhibitors for inhibiting tumor proliferation. Increasing evidence has demonstrated the potential risks of cardiac arrhythmias (such as prolonged QT interval) of these drugs. We report here that a widely used selective inhibitor of Src tyrosine kinases, 4-amino-5-(4-chlorophenyl)-7-(t-butyl)pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine (PP2), can inhibit and prevent ?-adrenergic stimulation of cardiac pacemaker activity. First, in dissected rat sinus node, PP2 inhibited and prevented the isoproterenol-induced increase of spontaneous beating rate. Second, in isolated rat sinus node myocytes, PP2 suppressed the hyperpolarization-activated "funny" current (traditionally called cardiac pacemaker current, I(f)) by negatively shifting the activation curve and decelerating activation kinetics. Third, in isolated rat sinus node myocytes, PP2 decreased the Src kinase activity, the cell surface expression, and tyrosine phosphorylation of hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-modulated channel 4 (HCN4) channel proteins. Finally, in human embryonic kidney 293 cells overexpressing recombinant human HCN4 channels, PP2 reversed the enhancement of HCN4 channels by isoproterenol and inhibited 573x, a cyclic adenosine momophosphate-insensitive human HCN4 mutant. These results demonstrated that inhibition of Src kinase activity in heart by PP2 decreased and prevented ?-adrenergic stimulation of cardiac pacemaker activity. These effects are mediated, at least partially, by a cAMP-independent attenuation of channel activity and cell surface expression of HCN4, the main channel protein that controls the heart rate.

The ABRF Metabolomics Research Group 2016 Exploratory Study: Investigation of Data Analysis Methods for Untargeted Metabolomics.

Project description:Lack of standardized applications of bioinformatics and statistical approaches for pre- and postprocessing of global metabolomic profiling data sets collected using high-resolution mass spectrometry platforms remains an inadequately addressed issue in the field. Several publications now recognize that data analysis outcome variability is caused by different data treatment approaches. Yet, there is a lack of interlaboratory reproducibility studies that have looked at the contribution of data analysis techniques toward variability/overlap of results. The goal of our study was to identify the contribution of data pre- and postprocessing methods on metabolomics analysis results. We performed urinary metabolomics from samples obtained from mice exposed to 5 Gray of external beam gamma rays and those exposed to sham irradiation (control group). The data files were made available to study participants for comparative analysis using commonly used bioinformatics and/or biostatistics approaches in their laboratories. The participants were asked to report back the top 50 metabolites/features contributing significantly to the group differences. Herein we describe the outcome of this study which suggests that data preprocessing is critical in defining the outcome of untargeted metabolomic studies.

Untargeted Multimodal Metabolomics Investigation of the <i>Haemonchus contortus</i> Exsheathment Secretome.

Project description:In nematodes that invade the gastro-intestinal tract of the ruminant, the process of larval exsheathment marks the transition from the free-living to the parasitic stages of these parasites. To investigate the secretome associated with larval exsheathment, a closed in vitro system that effectively reproduces the two basic components of an anaerobic rumen environment (CO2 and 39 °C) was developed to trigger exsheathment in one of the most pathogenic and model gastrointestinal parasitic nematodes, Haemonchus contortus (barber's pole worm). This study reports the use of multimodal untargeted metabolomics and lipidomics methodologies to identify the metabolic signatures and compounds secreted during in vitro larval exsheathment in the H. contortus infective third-stage larva (iL3). A combination of statistical and chemoinformatic analyses using three analytical platforms revealed a panel of metabolites detected post exsheathment and associated with amino acids, purines, as well as select organic compounds. The major lipid classes identified by the non-targeted lipidomics method applied were lysophosphatidylglycerols, diglycerides, fatty acyls, glycerophospholipids, and a triglyceride. The identified metabolites may serve as metabolic signatures to improve tractability of parasitic nematodes for characterizing small molecule host-parasite interactions related to pathogenesis, vaccine and drug design, as well as the discovery of metabolic biomarkers.

An Untargeted Metabolomics Investigation of Jiulong Yak (Bos grunniens) Meat by 1H-NMR.

Project description:Yak represents the main meat source for Tibetan people. This work aimed to investigate the metabolome of raw meat from Jiulong yaks, focusing on specimens farmed and harvested locally through traditional procedures. Untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) was selected as the analytical platform. Samples from longissimus thoracis, trapezius, triceps brachii and biceps femoris muscles, with different prevalences of red and white fibers, were selected. Among the fifty-three metabolites quantified in each of them, carnitine, carnosine, creatine and taurine are known for their bioactive properties. Twelve molecules were found to be differently concentrated in relation to muscle type. Longissimus thoracis, compared to biceps femoris, had higher concentrations of carnosine and formate and lower concentrations of mannose, inosine, threonine, IMP, alanine, valine, isoleucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and leucine. A metabolic pathway analysis suggested that the main pathways differing among the muscles were connected to the turnover of amino acids. These results contribute to a deeper understanding of yak raw meat metabolism and muscle type differences, which can be used as an initial reference for the meat industry to set up muscle-specific investigations. The possibility of simultaneously quantifying several bioactive compounds suggests that these investigations could revolve around meat's nutritional value.

Beta-adrenergic stimulation maintains cardiac function in Serca2 knockout mice.

Project description:Previous studies on Serca2 knockout (KO) mice showed that cardiac function is sustained in vivo for several weeks after knockout, whereas SERCA protein levels decrease and calcium dynamics are significantly impaired. In this study, we reconcile observed cellular and organ level contractile function using a cardiac multiscale model. We identified and quantified the changes in cellular function that are both consistent with observations and able to compensate for the decrease in SERCA. Calcium transients were used as input for multiscale computational simulations to predict whole-organ response. Although this response matched experimental pressure-volume (PV) measurements in healthy mice, the reduced magnitude calcium transients observed in KO cells were insufficient to trigger ventricular ejection. To replicate the effects of elevated catecholamine levels observed in vivo, cells were treated with isoproterenol. Incorporation of the resulting measured ?-adrenergically stimulated calcium transients into the model resulted in a close match with experimental PV loops. Changes in myofilament properties, when considered in isolation, were not able to increase tension development to levels consistent with measurements, further confirming the necessity of a high ?-adrenergic state. Modeling additionally indicated that increased venous return observed in the KO mice helps maintain a high ejection fraction via the Frank-Starling effect. Our study shows that increased ?-adrenergic stimulation is a potentially highly significant compensatory mechanism by which cardiac function is maintained in Serca2 KO mice, producing the increases in both systolic and diastolic calcium, consistent with the observed contractile function observed in experimental PV measurements.

Copper oxide nanoparticle toxicity profiling using untargeted metabolomics.

Project description:The rapidly increasing number of engineered nanoparticles (NPs), and products containing NPs, raises concerns for human exposure and safety. With this increasing, and ever changing, catalogue of NPs it is becoming more difficult to adequately assess the toxic potential of new materials in a timely fashion. It is therefore important to develop methods which can provide high-throughput screening of biological responses. The use of omics technologies, including metabolomics, can play a vital role in this process by providing relatively fast, comprehensive, and cost-effective assessment of cellular responses. These techniques thus provide the opportunity to identify specific toxicity pathways and to generate hypotheses on how to reduce or abolish toxicity.We have used untargeted metabolome analysis to determine differentially expressed metabolites in human lung epithelial cells (A549) exposed to copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO NPs). Toxicity hypotheses were then generated based on the affected pathways, and critically tested using more conventional biochemical and cellular assays. CuO NPs induced regulation of metabolites involved in oxidative stress, hypertonic stress, and apoptosis. The involvement of oxidative stress was clarified more easily than apoptosis, which involved control experiments to confirm specific metabolites that could be used as standard markers for apoptosis; based on this we tentatively propose methylnicotinamide as a generic metabolic marker for apoptosis.Our findings are well aligned with the current literature on CuO NP toxicity. We thus believe that untargeted metabolomics profiling is a suitable tool for NP toxicity screening and hypothesis generation.

Propofol induces nuclear localization of Nrf2 under conditions of oxidative stress in cardiac H9c2 cells.

Project description:Oxidative stress contributes to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, which causes cardiomyocyte death and precipitate life-threatening heart failure. Propofol has been proposed to protect cells or tissues against oxidative stress. However, the mechanisms underlying its beneficial effects are not fully elucidated. In the present study, we employed an in vitro oxidative injury model, in which rat cardiac H9c2 cells were treated with H2O2, and investigated roles of propofol against oxidative stress. Propofol treatment reduced H2O2-induced apoptotic cell death. While H2O2 induced expression of the antioxidant enzyme HO-1, propofol further increased HO-1 mRNA and protein levels. Propofol also promoted nuclear localization of Nrf2 in the presence of H2O2. Knockdown of Nrf2 using siRNA suppressed propofol-inducible Nrf2 and expression of Nrf2-downstream antioxidant enzyme. Knockdown of Nrf2 suppressed the propofol-induced cytoprotection. In addition, Nrf2 overexpression induced nuclear localization of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression. These results suggest that propofol exerts antioxidative effects by inducing nuclear localization of Nrf2 and expression of its downstream enzyme in cardiac cells. Finally, we examined the effect of propofol on cardiomyocytes using myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury models. The expression level of Nrf2 protein was increased at 15 min after reperfusion in the ischemia-reperfusion and propofol group compared with ischemia-reperfusion group in penumbra region. These results suggest that propofol protects cells or tissues from oxidative stress via Nrf2/HO-1 cascade.

An Untargeted Metabolomics Investigation of Milk from Dairy Cows with Clinical Mastitis by 1H-NMR.

Project description:Mastitis is one of the diseases with the highest incidence in dairy cows, causing huge economic losses to the dairy industry all over the world. The aim of the study was to characterize mastitic milk metabolome through untargeted nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). Taking advantage of the high reproducibility of 1H-NMR, we had the opportunity to provide quantitative information for all the metabolites identified. Fifty-four molecules were characterized, sorted mainly into the chemical groups, namely amino acids, peptides and analogues, carbohydrates and derivates, organic acids and derivates, nucleosides, nucleotides and analogues. Combined with serum metabolomic investigations, several pathways were addressed to explain the mechanisms of milk metabolome variation affected by clinical mastitis, such as tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA cycle) and phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. These results provide a further understanding of milk metabolome altered by clinical mastitis, which can be used as a reference for the further milk metabolome investigations.
