Project description:Punarnava [Boerhaavia diffusa L.] is a medicinal plant and constituent of several Indian traditional medicines. According to Ayurveda, this plant is a rich source of nutrients. Traditionally, it is used to provide relief against various gastrointestinal disorders, treat wounds, reduce joint pains, and as an anti-stress agent. Despite its pharmacological importance, detailed characterization of the metabolite composition of this plant has not been reported to date. Therefore, we have taken up metabolomic profiling of Punarnava choorna, as part of a larger project of metabolomic profiling of ayurvedic drugs. We carried out a global metabolomic analysis using a high-resolution mass spectrometry to investigate metabolite composition of Punarnava choorna. In total 1747 and 4031 features were identified at MS1 using XCMS in the positive and negative modes, respectively. Using MS2Compound, we identified 1229 and 709 features in the positive and negative modes, respectively. We also identified 362 and 191 metabolites at MS2 level in the positive and negative modes, respectively using the MS2Compound tool. The data were searched against the PlantCyc, KEGG, PhenolExplorer and HMDB databases. A large number of nutritionally important metabolites including amino acids, sugars and vitamins were identified in Purnarnava choorna. Further, the identified metabolites were mapped to their potential protein interactors using BindingDB tool. Highest number of interactions was observed for plant serotonins. The data provides molecular evidence to accelerate the discovery of mode of action of Purnarnava choorna.
Project description:In the present study we carried out global and targeted metabolomics of differentiated IMR32 cells to study the neuroprotective mechanism of Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) in rotenone induced cellular model of parkinsons disease. Our mass spectrometry data highlighted 2403 and 2934 aligned metabolites from the positive and negative modes respectively. Among the aligned metabolites, 756 metabolites from positive and 731 metabolites from negative polarity, were mapped to a known metabolite, and the others remained unassigned. A total of 1,102 non-redundant metabolites from the positive and negative modes were assigned.
Project description:Mitogen-activated protein kinase 4 (MPK4) was first identified as a negative regulator of systemic acquired resistance (SAR). It is also an important kinase that gets involved in other plant biological processes in plants, including cytokinesis, reproduction and photosynthesis. Arabidopsis thaliana mpk4 mutant is a dwarf and sterile. Previous ‘omics’ studies including genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics have revealed new functions of MPK4 in different biological processes. However, due to challenges in metabolomics, no study has focused on metabolomic profiles of the mpk4 mutant and what metabolites and metabolic pathways are potentially regulated by MPK4 are not known. Metabolites are crucial components of plants, which plays an and they play important roles in plant signaling, defense, and growth and development. Here we used targeted and untargeted metabolomics to profile metabolites in wild type (WT) and the mpk4 mutant where we found that in addition to jasmonic acid (JA) and salicylic acid (SA) pathways, MPK4 got involved in polyamine synthesis and photosynthesis. In addition, we also conducted label-free proteomics of the two genotypes. Integration of metabolomics and proteomics data allowed insight into the metabolomic networks that are potentially regulated by MPK4.
Project description:Human iPSCs and NSCs were engineered by AAVS1 and/or C13 safe-harbor TALENs which mediated targeted integration of various reporter genes at single or dual safe-harbor loci. Multiple clones of targeted human iPSCs were used to compare with parental untargeted NCRM5 iPSCs. Polyclonal targeted human NSCs were used to compare with their parental untargeted NCRM1NSCs or H9NSCs. Total RNA obtained from targeted human iPSCs or NSCs compared to untargeted control iPSCs or NSCs.

Project description:Scope: The Caco2/HT29-MTX co-culture system is widely used as a cell model of the intestinal epithelium. Although the gut epithelium plays an important role in the uptake of free fatty acids and the resynthesis of triglycerides the lipid distribution profile of the co-culture system is not well understood. Desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) is a mass spectrometry (MS) technique which has been widely used to study the main classes of lipid molecules on different tissue surfaces. This has been used to map lipid species and their distribution in Caco2 and HT29-MTX co-culture system. Methods and results: Caco2 and HT29-MTX cells were seeded on coverslips either singly or as cocultures in ratios of 75:25 and 50:50. Cells were cultured for 21 days before MS imaging using a DESI source in both the positive and negative ionization modes. The identity of selected lipids was confirmed in negative and positive ionisation modes using tandem MS. Although many lipids were common to both cell lines, there were distinctive patterns in the lipidomes. Thus, the lipidome of Caco2 cells was more heterogeneous and rich in cholesterol esters and triglycerides whilst HT29-MTX cells has a distinctive lipidome relating to phosphatidylethanolamines, phosphatidylinositols and odd chain lipids, including C17 fatty acids. Conclusion: DESI-MSI has shown that Caco2 and HT29-MTX cells have distinctive lipidomes which are still evident when the cells are cocultured. It has potential to both allow further validation of these widely used cell models and provide insights into how dietary components may modify lipid metabolism in future.
Project description:<p><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> This study aimed to investigate the plasma metabolic profile of patients with extracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVM).</p><p><strong>METHOD:</strong> Plasma samples were collected from 32 AVM patients and 30 healthy controls (HC). Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS) was employed to analyze the metabolic profiles of both groups. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was performed through Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database and MetaboAnalyst. Additionally, machine learning algorithms such as Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and random forest (RF) were conducted to screen characteristic metabolites. The effectiveness of the serum biomarkers for AVM was evaluated using a receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) curve.</p><p><strong>RESULT:</strong> In total, 184 differential metabolites were screened in this study, with 110 metabolites in positive ion mode and 74 metabolites in negative mode. Lipids and lipid-like molecules were the predominant metabolites detected in both positive and negative ion modes. Several significant metabolic pathways were enriched in AVMs, including lipid metabolism, amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and protein translation. Through machine learning algorithms, 9 metabolites were identify as characteristic metabolites, including hydroxy-proline, L-2-Amino-4-methylenepentanedioic acid, piperettine, 20-hydroxy-PGF2a, 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-6-(1-oxobutyl)-1,3,5-cyclohexanetrione, DL-tryptophan, 9-oxoODE, alpha-Linolenic acid and dihydrojasmonic acid.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Patients with extracranial AVMs exhibited significantly altered metabolic patterns compared to healthy controls, which could be identified using plasma metabolomics. These findings suggest that metabolomic profiling can aid in the understanding of AVM pathophysiology and potentially inform clinical diagnosis and treatment.</p>
