A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) based metabolomics platform was previously established to identify and profile extracellular metabolites in culture media of mammalian cells. This presented an opportunity to isolate novel apoptosis-inducing metabolites accumulating in the media of antibody-producing Chinese hamster ovary (CHO mAb) fed-batch bioreactor cultures. Media from triplicate cultures were collected daily for the metabolomics analysis. Concurrently, cell pellets were obtained for determination of intracellular caspase activity. Metabolite profiles from the LC-MS data were subsequently examined for their degree of correlation with the caspase activity. A panel of extracellular metabolites, the majority of which were nucleotides/nucleosides and amino acid derivatives, exhibited good (R² > 0.8) and reproducible correlation. Some of these metabolites, such as oxidized glutathione, AMP and GMP, were later shown to induce apoptosis when introduced to fresh CHO mAb cultures. Finally, metabolic engineering targets were proposed to potentially counter the harmful effects of these metabolites.

Role of Exogenous Pyruvate in Maintaining Adenosine Triphosphate Production under High-Glucose Conditions through PARP-Dependent Glycolysis and PARP-Independent Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle.

Pyruvate serves as a key metabolite in energy production and as an anti-oxidant. In our previous study, exogenous pyruvate starvation under high-glucose conditions induced IMS32 Schwann cell death because of the reduced glycolysis-tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Thus, this study focused on poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) to investigate the detailed molecular mechanism of cell death.

Article Synopsis
- - The liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) technique is used to identify a wide range of phytochemicals in extracts, but detecting new secondary metabolites remains difficult, leading to a proposed strategy that helps prioritize known metabolite classes for better identification of new ones.
- - This strategy successfully identified new compounds like varanasine (a unique 7-aminocoumarin) and other coumarin-related alkaloids from a comprehensive mass list of metabolites, improving the efficiency of metabolite discovery.
- - Further screening of the identified compounds revealed that varanasine and minumicrollin exhibit significant cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines, inducing apoptosis by inhibiting specific apoptotic proteins, suggesting potential utility
Causal relationship of inflammatory cytokines and serum metabolites in cerebral small vessel disease: a two-step Mendelian randomization study.

Background And Purpose: The aim was to investigate the causal relationships of inflammatory cytokines and serum metabolites in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD).
Methods: Bidirectional Mendelian randomization was first conducted to screen inflammatory cytokines and serum metabolites that were associated with imaging features of CSVD, including white matter hyperintensities, recent small subcortical infarcts, cortical cerebral microinfarcts, cerebral microbleeds, lacunes and enlarged perivascular spaces. Sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the robustness and pleiotropy of these results.

Accumulating evidence indicates that microbial communities in the human body crucially affect health through the production of chemical messengers. However, the relationship between human microbiota and cancer has been underexplored. As a result of a biochemical investigation of the commensal oral microbe, Corynebacterium durum, we identified the non-enzymatic transformation of tryptamine into an anticancer compound, durumamide A (1).
