Urine metabolites are used in many clinical and biomedical studies but usually only for a few classic compounds. Metabolomics detects vastly more metabolic signals that may be to precisely define the health status of individuals. However, compounds remain unidentified, hampering biochemical conclusions. Here, we annotate all detected by two untargeted metabolomic assays, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC)-Q Exactive HF mass spectrometry charged surface hybrid (CSH)-Q...

Untargeted metabolomics by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry generates data-rich chromatograms in the form of m/z-retention time features. Managing such datasets is a bottleneck. Many popular data processing tools, including XCMS-online and MZmine2, yield numerous false-positive peak detections. Flagging removing false peaks manually time-consuming task prone to human error. We present web application, Mass Spectral Feature List Optimizer (MS-FLO), improve quality feature lists after...

Excess copper may disturb plant photosynthesis and induce leaf senescence. The underlying toxicity mechanism is not well understood. Here, 3-week-old cucumber plants were foliar exposed to different concentrations (10, 100, 500 mg/L) for a final dose of 0.21, 2.1, 10 mg/plant, using CuSO4 as the Cu ion source 7 days, three times per day. Metabolomics quantified 149 primary 79 secondary metabolites. A number intermediates tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle significantly down-regulated 1.4–2.4...

Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) based therapies are currently being evaluated as a putative therapeutic in numerous human clinical trials. Recent reports have established that exosomes mediate much of the properties MSCs. Exosomes nanovesicles which intercellular communication, transmitting signals between cells regulate diverse range biological processes. MSC-derived packaged with types proteins and RNAs, however, their metabolomic lipidomic profiles to date not been well characterized. We...

Mouse knockouts facilitate the study ofgene functions. Often, multiple abnormal phenotypes are induced when a gene is inactivated. The International Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) has generated thousands of mouse and catalogued their phenotype data. We have acquired metabolomics data from 220 plasma samples 30 unique corresponding wildtype mice IMPC. To acquire comprehensive data, we used liquid chromatography (LC) combined with mass spectrometry (MS) for detecting polar lipophilic compounds...

Elevated islet production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), an arachidonic acid metabolite, and expression receptor subtype EP3 (EP3) are well-known contributors to the β-cell dysfunction type 2 diabetes (T2D). Yet, many same pathophysiological conditions exist in obesity, little is known about how PGE2 signaling pathway influences nondiabetic function. In this work, plasma metabolite levels were quantified a cohort T2D human subjects identify their relationship with glycemic control, systemic...

Human pluripotent stem-cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hPSC-CMs) show immense promise for patient-specific disease modeling, cardiotoxicity screening, and regenerative therapy development. However, thus far, hPSC-CMs in culture have not recapitulated the structural or functional properties of adult CMs vivo. To gain global insight into hPSC-CM biology, we established a multiomics method analyzing metabolome proteome from same cell culture, creating multidimensional profiles hPSC-CMs....
