  • Amino Acid Analysis : Methods and Protocols

    Alterman M.Ed., (Hirayama, A., Ikeda, S., Sato, A., Soga, T., contribution for Chapter 23）, Humana Press, 2019.07

    Scope: Chapter 23: Amino Acid Analysis by Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry,  Contact page： 307-313

    　View Summary

    Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has been developed as a powerful tool in the analysis of charged compounds. To simultaneously analyze free amino acids, an electrolyte with low pH was used to positively charge all of the amino acids. In this condition, all protonated amino acids migrated toward the cathode in CE and then were sensitively and selectively detected by MS. This method is simple, rapid, and selective and could readily be applied to the analysis of free amino acids in various samples. In this chapter, the detailed procedure to analyze amino acids using CE-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is described.

    Scope: Chapter 13: Capillary Electrophoresis-Mass Spectrometry,  Contact page： 113-122

    　View Summary

    Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) has proven to be useful for metabolomics studies. Charged metabolites are first separated by CE based on charge and size and are subsequently selectively detected using MS. The major advantages of CE-MS are its high resolution and the fact that almost any charged species can be analyzed by two methods, both cationic and anionic. This technique can readily be applied to various types of biological samples originating from bacteria, plants, mammals, and body fluids. This chapter highlights detailed practical procedures for using this technology.

  • Relationship between [18 F]FDG PET/CT and metabolomics in patients with colorectal cancer

    Imajo, M., Norikane, T., Yamamoto, Y., Maeda, Y., Saitoh, K., Kato, K., Soga, T., Okano, K., Nishiyama, Y.

    Metabolomics 18 （ 11 ） 91 2022.11

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted

    　View Summary

    Introduction: Advances in metabolomics have significantly improved cancer detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis.

    Objectives: To investigate the relationship between metabolic tumor volume (MTV) using 2-deoxy-2-[18F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/ computed tomography (CT) and metabolomics data in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).

    Methods: The metabolome in tumor tissues was analyzed using capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry in 33 patients with newly diagnosed CRC who underwent FDG PET/CT before treatment and had tumor tissue post-surgery. Based on the FDG PET data, MTV was calculated and was dichotomized according to the median value, and tumors were divided into low-MTV and high-MTV tumors. Metabolomics data were compared between the low-MTV and high-MTV tumors.

    Results: The levels of most glycolysis-related metabolites were not different between low-MTV and high-MTV tumors. The level of component of the initial part of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, citrate, was significantly lower in the high-MTV tumor than in the low-MTV tumor. The TCA intermediate succinate level was significantly higher in the high-MTV tumor than in the low-MTV tumor. In contrast, the TCA intermediate fumarate level was significantly lower in the high-MTV tumor than in the low-MTV tumor. The levels of many amino acids were significantly higher in the high-MTV tumor than in the low-MTV tumor.

    Conclusions: Although preliminary, these results suggest that tumors with high FDG metabolism in CRC may obtain more energy by using a reverse reaction of the TCA cycle and amino-acid metabolism. However, further research is required to clarify this relationship.

    STAR Protoc. 3 （ 3 ） 101531 2022.09

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted

    　View Summary

    Capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CE-MS) can measure the intracellular amount of highly polar and charged metabolites; liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) can quantify hydrophobic metabolites. A comprehensive metabolome analysis requires independent sample preparation for LC-MS and CE-MS. Here, we present a protocol to prepare for sequentially analyzing the metabolites from one sample. Here we describe the steps for breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 cells, but the protocol can be applied to other cell types.

  • Development of Fluorophosphoramidate as a Biocompatibly Transformable Functional Group and its Application as a Phosphate Prodrug for Nucleoside Analogs

    　View Summary

    Synthetic phosphate-derived functional groups are important for controlling the function of bioactive molecules in vivo. Herein we describe the development of a new type of biocompatible phosphate analog, a fluorophosphoramidate (FPA) functional group that has characteristic P-F and P-N bonds. We found that FPA with a primary amino group was relatively unstable in aqueous solution and was converted to a monophosphate, while FPA with a secondary amino group was stable. Furthermore, by improving the molecular design of FPA, we developed a reaction in which a secondary amino group is converted to a primary amino group in the intracellular environment and clarified that the FPA group functions as a phosphate prodrug of nucleoside. Various FPA-gemcitabine derivatives were synthesized and their toxicity to cancer cells were evaluated. One of the FPA-gemcitabine derivatives showed superior toxicity compared with gemcitabine and its ProTide prodrug, which methodology is widely used in various nucleoside analogs, including anti-cancer and anti-virus drugs.

  • Brown adipose tissue dysfunction promotes heart failure via a trimethylamine N-oxide-dependent mechanism

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted

    　View Summary

    Low body temperature predicts a poor outcome in patients with heart failure, but the underlying pathological mechanisms and implications are largely unknown. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) was initially characterised as a thermogenic organ, and recent studies have suggested it plays a crucial role in maintaining systemic metabolic health. While these reports suggest a potential link between BAT and heart failure, the potential role of BAT dysfunction in heart failure has not been investigated. Here, we demonstrate that alteration of BAT function contributes to development of heart failure through disorientation in choline metabolism. Thoracic aortic constriction (TAC) or myocardial infarction (MI) reduced the thermogenic capacity of BAT in mice, leading to significant reduction of body temperature with cold exposure. BAT became hypoxic with TAC or MI, and hypoxic stress induced apoptosis of brown adipocytes. Enhancement of BAT function improved thermogenesis and cardiac function in TAC mice. Conversely, systolic function was impaired in a mouse model of genetic BAT dysfunction, in association with a low survival rate after TAC. Metabolomic analysis showed that reduced BAT thermogenesis was associated with elevation of plasma trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) levels. Administration of TMAO to mice led to significant reduction of phosphocreatine and ATP levels in cardiac tissue via suppression of mitochondrial complex IV activity. Genetic or pharmacological inhibition of flavin-containing monooxygenase reduced the plasma TMAO level in mice, and improved cardiac dysfunction in animals with left ventricular pressure overload. In patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, body temperature was low along with elevation of plasma choline and TMAO levels. These results suggest that maintenance of BAT homeostasis and reducing TMAO production could be potential next-generation therapies for heart failure.

  • Salivary metabolomics with machine learning for colorectal cancer detection

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Accepted

    　View Summary

    As the worldwide prevalence of colorectal cancer (CRC) increases, it is vital to reduce its morbidity and mortality through early detection. Saliva-based tests are an ideal noninvasive tool for CRC detection. Here, we explored and validated salivary biomarkers to distinguish patients with CRC from those with adenoma (AD) and healthy controls (HC). Saliva samples were collected from patients with CRC, AD, and HC. Untargeted salivary hydrophilic metabolite profiling was conducted using capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. An alternative decision tree (ADTree)-based machine learning (ML) method was used to assess the discrimination abilities of the quantified metabolites. A total of 2,602 unstimulated saliva samples were collected from subjects with CRC (n = 231), AD (n = 54), and HC (n = 2,317). Data were randomly divided into training (n = 1,301) and validation datasets (n = 1,301). The clustering analysis showed a clear consistency of aberrant metabolites between the two groups. The ADTree model was optimized through cross-validation (CV) using the training dataset, and the developed model was validated using the validation dataset. The model discriminating CRC + AD from HC showed area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) of 0.860 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.828-0.891) for CV and 0.870 (95% CI: 0.837-0.903) for the validation dataset. The other model discriminating CRC from AD + HC showed an AUC of 0.879 (95% CI: 0.851-0.907) and 0.870 (95% CI: 0.838 - 0.902), respectively. Salivary metabolomics combined with ML demonstrated high accuracy and versatility in detecting CRC.
