Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) continues to pose a significant mortality risk with a lack of dependable biomarkers for early noninvasive cancer detection. Here, we find that aberrant lipid metabolism is significantly enriched in lung cancer cells. Further, we identified four signature lipids highly associated with LUAD and developed a lipid signature-based scoring model (LSRscore). Evaluation of LSRscore in a discovery cohort reveals a robust predictive capability for LUAD (AUC: 0.972), a result further validated in an independent cohort (AUC: 0.92). We highlight one lipid signature biomarker, PE(18:0/18:1), consistently exhibiting altered levels both in cancer tissue and in plasma of LUAD patients, demonstrating significant predictive power for early-stage LUAD. Transcriptome analysis reveals an association between increased PE(18:0/18:1) levels and dysregulated glycerophospholipid metabolism, which consistently displays strong prognostic value across two LUAD cohorts. The combined utility of LSRscore and PE(18:0/18:1) holds promise for early-stage diagnosis and prognosis of LUAD.

Project description:Lung immaturity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in premature infants. Understanding the molecular mechanisms driving normal lung development could provide insights on how to ameliorate disrupted development. While transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of normal lung development have been previously reported, characterization of changes in the lipidome is lacking. Lipids play significant roles in the lung, such as dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in pulmonary surfactant; however, many of the roles of specific lipid species in normal lung development, as well as in disease states, are not well defined. In this study, we used liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to investigate the murine lipidome during normal postnatal lung development. Lipidomics analysis of lungs from post-natal day 7, day 14 and 6-8 week mice (adult) identified 924 unique lipids across 21 lipid subclasses, with dramatic alterations in the lipidome across developmental stages. Our data confirmed previously recognized aspects of post-natal lung development and revealed several insights, including in sphingolipid-mediated apoptosis, inflammation and energy storage/usage. Complementary proteomics, metabolomics and chemical imaging corroborated these observations. This multi-omic view provides a unique resource and deeper insight into normal pulmonary development.

Project description:Sarcopenia, a multifactorial systemic disorder, has attracted extensive attention, yet its pathogenesis is not fully understood, partly due to limited research on the relationship between lipid metabolism abnormalities and sarcopenia. Lipidomics offers the possibility to explore this relationship. Our research utilized LC/MS-based nontargeted lipidomics to investigate the lipid profile changes as-sociated with sarcopenia, aiming to enhance understanding of its underlying mechanisms. The study included 40 sarcopenia patients and 40 control subjects matched 1:1 by sex and age. Plasma lipids were detected and quantified, with differential lipids identified through univariate and mul-tivariate statistical analyses. A weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and MetaboAna-lyst were used to identify lipid modules related to the clinical traits of sarcopenia patients and to conduct pathway analysis, respectively. A total of 34 lipid subclasses and 1446 lipid molecules were detected. Orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) identified 80 differen-tial lipid molecules, including 38 phospholipids. Network analysis revealed that the brown module (encompassing phosphatidylglycerol (PG) lipids) and the yellow module (containing phosphati-dylcholine (PC), phosphatidylserine (PS), and sphingomyelin (SM) lipids) were closely associated with the clinical traits such as maximum grip strength and skeletal muscle mass (SMI). Pathway analysis highlighted the potential role of the glycerophospholipid metabolic pathway in lipid me-tabolism within the context of sarcopenia. These findings suggest a correlation between sarcopenia and lipid metabolism disturbances, providing valuable insights into the disease's underlying mechanisms and indicating potential avenues for further investigation.

Project description:BackgroundNonpuerperal mastitis (NPM) is a disease that presents with redness, swelling, heat, and pain during nonlactation and can often be confused with breast cancer. The etiology of NPM remains elusive; however, emerging clinical evidence suggests a potential involvement of lipid metabolism.MethodLiquid chromatography‒mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based untargeted lipidomics analysis combined with multivariate statistics was performed to investigate the NPM lipid change in breast tissue. Twenty patients with NPM and 10 controls were enrolled in this study.ResultsThe results revealed significant differences in lipidomics profiles, and a total of 16 subclasses with 14,012 different lipids were identified in positive and negative ion modes. Among these lipids, triglycerides (TGs), phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) and cardiolipins (CLs) were the top three lipid components between the NPM and control groups. Subsequently, a total of 35 lipids were subjected to screening as potential biomarkers, and the chosen lipid biomarkers exhibited enhanced discriminatory capability between the two groups. Furthermore, pathway analysis elucidated that the aforementioned alterations in lipids were primarily associated with the arachidonic acid metabolic pathway. The correlation between distinct lipid populations and clinical phenotypes was assessed through weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA).ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that untargeted lipidomics assays conducted on breast tissue samples from patients with NPM exhibit noteworthy alterations in lipidomes. The findings of this study highlight the substantial involvement of arachidonic acid metabolism in lipid metabolism within the context of NPM. Consequently, this study offers valuable insights that can contribute to a more comprehensive comprehension of NPM in subsequent investigations.Trial registrationShuguang Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (Number: 2019-702-57; Date: July 2019).

Project description:Background and Aims: The diagnosis of Wilson's disease (WD) is challenging by clinical or genetic criteria. A typical early pathological change of WD is the increased liver lipid deposition and lowered serum triglyceride (TG). Therefore, the contents of serum lipids may provide evidence for screening of biomarkers for WD. Methods: 34 WD patients, 31 WD relatives, and 65 normal controls were enrolled in this study. Serum lipidomics data was acquired by an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry system, and the data were analyzed by multivariate statistical methods. Results: Of all 510 identified lipids, there are 297 differential lipids between the WD and controls, 378 differential lipids between the relatives and controls, and 119 differential lipids between the patients and relatives. In WD, the abundances of most saturated TG were increased, whereas other unsaturated lipids decreased, including phosphatidylcholine (PC), sphingomyelin (SM), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), ceramide (Cer), and phosphatidylserine (PS). We also found many serum lipid species may be used as biomarkers for WD. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of PS (35:0), PS (38:5), and PS (34:0) were 0.919, 0.843, and 0.907. The AUCs of TG (38:0) and CerG1 (d42:2) were 0.948 and 0.915 and the AUCs of LPC (17:0) and LPC (15:0) were 0.980 and 0.960, respectively. The lipid biomarker panel exhibits good diagnostic performance for WD. The correlation networks were built among the different groups and the potential mechanisms of differential lipids were discussed. Interestingly, similar lipid profile of WD is also found in their relatives, which indicated the changes may also related to the mutation of the ATP7B gene. Conclusions: Lipid deregulation is another important hallmark of WD besides the deposition of copper. Our lipidomic results provide new insights into the diagnostic and therapeutic targets of WD.

Project description:Background: Image-based screening improves the detection of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD)but also highlights the issue of high false-positive diagnoses, which puts patients at a risk of unnecessary over-treatment. Therefore, more precise discrimination criteria are required to ensure that patients with early-stage LUAD receive appropriate treatments. Methods: we integrated 158 early-stage LUAD cases from 2 independent cohorts, including 30 matched resected specimens with complete radiological and pathological information, and 128 retrospective pathological pair-samples with partial follow-up data. This integration allowed us to conduct a correlation analysis between clinical phenotype and transcriptome landscape. Immunohistochemistry was performed using tissue microarrays to examine the expression of phospholipid phosphatase 2 (PLPP2) and lipid-raft markers. Lipidomics analysis was used to determine the changes of lipid components in PLPP2-overexpressed cells. To assess the effects of PLPP2 on the malignant phenotypes of LUAD cells, we conducted mice tumor-bearing experiments and in vitro cellular experiments by knocking down PLPP2 and inhibiting lipid raft synthesis with MβCD, respectively. Results: Bioinformatics analysis indicated that the co-occurrence of lipid raft formation and rapid cell proliferation might exhibit synergistic effects in driving oncogenesis from lung preneoplasia to adenocarcinoma. The enhanced activation of the cell cycle promoted the transition from non-invasive to invasive status in early-stage LUAD, which was related to an increase in lipid rafts within LUAD cells. PLPP2 participated in lipid raft formation by altering the component contents of lipid rafts, such as esters, sphingomyelin, and sphingosine. Furthermore, elevated PLPP2 levels were identified as an independent prognostic risk factor for LUAD patients. Further results from in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that PLPP2 could induce excessive cell proliferation by enhancing lipid raft formation in LUAD cells. Conclusions: Our study has revealed the characteristics of gene expression profiles in early-stage LUAD patients with the different radiological and pathological subtypes, as well as deciphered transcriptomic evolution trajectory from preneoplasia to invasive LUAD. Furthermore, it suggests that PLPP2-mediated lipid raft synthesis may be a significant biological event in the initiation of early-stage LUAD, offering a potential target for more precise diagnosis and therapy in clinical settings.

Project description:Liver transplantation has become the ultimate treatment for patients with end stage liver disease. However, early allograft dysfunction (EAD) has been associated with allograft loss or mortality after transplantation. We aim to utilize a metabolomic platform to identify novel biomarkers for more accurate correlation with EAD using blood samples collected from 51 recipients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Principal component analysis (PCA) and orthogonal projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to search for a relationship between the metabolomic profiles and the presence of EAD.Cholesteryl esters (CEs), triacylglycerols (TGs), phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) were identified in association with EAD and a combination of cholesterol oleate, PC (16:0/16:0), and lysoPC (16:0) gave an optimal area under the curve (AUC) of 0.9487 and 0.7884 in the prediction of EAD and in-hospital mortality, respectively after LDLT. Such biomarkers may add as a potential clinical panel for the prediction of graft function and mortality after LDLT.

Project description:In diabetes mellitus (DM), disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism are significant causes of the onset and progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the exact roles of specific lipid molecules in the pathogenesis of DN remain unclear. This study recruited 577 participants, including healthy controls (HCs), type-2 DM (2-DM) patients, and DN patients, from the clinic. Serum samples were collected under fasting conditions. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based lipidomics methods were used to explore the lipid changes in the serum and identify potential lipid biomarkers for the diagnosis of DN. Lipidomics revealed that the combination of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) (16:0) and triacylglycerol (TAG) 54:2-FA18:1 was a biomarker panel for predicting DN. The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the panel had a sensitivity of 89.1% and 73.4% with a specificity of 88.1% and 76.7% for discriminating patients with DN from HCs and 2-DM patients. Then, we divided the DN patients in the validation cohort into microalbuminuria (diabetic nephropathy at an early stage, DNE) and macroalbuminuria (diabetic nephropathy at an advanced stage, DNA) groups and found that LPE(16:0), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (16:0/20:2), and TAG54:2-FA18:1 were tightly associated with the stages of DN. The sensitivity of the biomarker panel to distinguish between patients with DNE and 2-DM, DNA, and DNE patients was 65.6% and 85.9%, and the specificity was 76.7% and 75.0%, respectively. Our experiment showed that the combination of LPE(16:0), PE(16:0/20:2), and TAG54:2-FA18:1 exhibits excellent performance in the diagnosis of DN.
