目的 研究使用碘克沙醇行冠脉造影后肾小管功能出现损伤患者尿液中内源性代谢物的代谢特征,分析碘克沙醇导致肾小管损伤的潜在机制。方法 选择使用碘克沙醇冠脉造影后24 h内肾小管功能正常和肾小管功能出现损伤的患者各50例,分为正常组(n=50)和损伤组(n=50),收集其造影24 h内的晨尿尿液样本。采用超高效液相色谱串联质谱以及正交偏最小二乘法(orthogonal partial least squares,OPLS-DA)对尿液样品进行代谢分析;利用Metlin、HMDB、KEGG、MetaboAnalyst数据库考察碘克沙醇损伤肾小管功能的代谢特征。结果 鉴定出与碘克沙醇损伤肾小管功能相关的差异代谢物25种[变量权重值(variable important in projection,VIP)>1],其中有3种代谢差异代谢物的含量显著下降(VIP>1,P<0.05),分别为L-苯丙氨酸、L-酪氨酸、L-色氨酸。25种差异代谢物涉及的代谢通路有9条,主要为氨基酸代谢,其中Impact>0.10,P<0.05的目标代谢通路有2条,分别为苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸和色氨酸的生物合成通路及苯丙氨酸代谢通路。结论 使用碘克沙醇行冠脉造影后肾小管功能出现损伤患者的尿液代谢主要表现为氨基酸代谢紊乱,尿液中L-酪氨酸、L-苯丙氨酸、L-色氨酸含量显著下降可提示肾小管功能出现损伤。碘克沙醇相关早期肾损伤的发病机制主要是通过影响苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸和色氨酸生物合成通路,苯丙氨酸代谢通路来损伤肾小管,进而影响其功能。 相似文献
Objective: Concentrations of plasma neutral amino acids, i.e. threonine, serine, asparagine, glycine, alanine, citrulline, α-aminobutyric acid, valine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tryptophan, and serum cholesterol, were determined at the follicular (Day 4), mid-cycle (Day 16) and luteal (Day 25) phases of the menstrual cycle in 15 users of the new generation of combined oral contraceptives (OC), 11 on multiphase combined OC, and 17 controls. Results: The controls showed a decrease in the sum of amino acids to 95% at mid-cycle and 90% in the luteal phase relative to the follicular phase, and a significant decrease in the tyrosine level at the luteal relative to the follicular phase. Since there was no significant difference between the two OC subgroups in the levels of the specified variables at either of the phases, the two groups were considered together. The sum of amino acids in the OC group decreased to 89% at mid-cycle and 91% at the luteal phase relative to the follicular phase, indicating less metabolic effect than reported for older OC formulations. Compared to the controls, the OC group showed significant increased threonine level at the luteal phase, decreased glycine levels at mid-cycle and the luteal phases, decreased citrulline level at mid-cycle, and markedly decreased tyrosine levels at the mid-cycle and luteal phases. Neither total nor high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol differed significantly between the control and OC groups. Conclusion: The results suggest that the metabolic effects of the new generation combined OC on neutral amino acids and cholesterol are only modest to slight, except for the effect on tyrosine, the brain noradrenaline precursor, which may cause disturbances of various noradrenaline-mediated central functions in susceptible subjects. 相似文献
OBJECTIVE An integrative strategy was established to discover the effective compounds and their therapeutic targets using Fangji Huangqi Tang(FHT) aiming at inhibiting nephrotic syndrome(NS) as a case study. METHODS The adriamycin-induced nephropathy rat model was evaluated by histopathology analysis and urine protein. The serum biomarkers(pathological marker)related to NS model were characterized by metabolomics, and the metabolites which could be regulated to normal levels after administration with FHT were defined as FHT-regulated biomarkers(effective marker). Moreover, the potential effective compounds were identified by comparison of drug serum between control and model rats. Furthermore, they were further screened based on the correlation analysis between effective marker with the potential effective compounds. At the same time, the potential target of effective ingredients was found by network pharmacology technology. RESULTS The results of serum metabonomics showed that 15 metabolites,including 3-Hydroxybutyric acid, L-phenylalanine and linolenic acid, were associated with renal damage. Among them, 6 effective markers were uric acid, 2-methylbutyrylcarnitine and 10-HDA. Metabolic pathway analysis showed that, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, linoleic acid metabolism, phenylalanine metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism were the key pathway associated with NS. The correlation analysis showed that nine constituents such as fan Ghinoline,atractylenolide Ⅲ, cycloastragenol, glycyrrhetinic acid were recognized as effective compounds, whose potential protein targets participated in MAPK signaling pathway,Gn RH signaling pathway and aldoaterone-regulated sodium reabsorption. CONCLUSION This study provides a methodological reference for the study of the efficacy material base of other traditional Chinese medicineand also provides an important basis for the target of FHT against NS. 相似文献
Identification of non-invasive biomarkers of disease progression in multiple sclerosis (MS) is critically needed for monitoring the disease progression and for effective therapeutic interventions. Urine is an attractive source for non-invasive biomarkers because it is easily obtained in the clinic. In search of a urine metabolite signature of progression in chronic experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), we profiled urine at the chronic stage of the disease (day 45 post immunization) by global untargeted metabolomics. Using a combination of high-throughput liquid-and-gas chromatography with mass spectrometry, we found 105 metabolites (P < 0.05) significantly altered at the chronic stage, indicating a robust alteration in the urine metabolite profile during disease. Assessment of altered metabolites against the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes revealed distinct non-overlapping metabolic pathways and revealed phenylalanine-tyrosine and associated metabolism being the most impacted. Combined with previously performed plasma profiling, eight common metabolites were significantly altered in both of the biofluids. Metaboanalyst analysis of these common metabolites revealed that phenylalanine metabolism and Valine, leucine, and isoleucine biosynthetic pathways are central metabolic pathways in both bio-fluids and could be analyzed further, either for the discovery of therapeutics or biomarker development. Overall, our study suggests that urine and plasma metabolomics may contribute to the identification of a distinct metabolic fingerprint of EAE disease discriminating from the healthy control which may aid in the development of an objective non-invasive monitoring method for progressive autoimmune diseases like MS.
The stability of the diphenylindenonesulphonyl (disyl) derivatives of tryptophan, proline, hydroxyproline, histidine, serine, threonine and aspartic acid, as well as of glycine, alanine, α-amino butyric acid, phenylalanine, valine, leucine and isoleucine to acid hydrolysis is studied. The results indicate that the disyl derivatives are much more stable in comparison with the corresponding DNP-and DNS-derivatives. Hence, the dysil-chloride method possesses definite advantages over these widely used methods for determination of N-terminal groups, not only because of its higher sensitivity, but also because of the higher stability of the disyl derivatives of amino acids to acid hydrolysis. 相似文献
