Metabolomics has the capability of providing predisposition, diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarker profiles of individual patients, since a large number of metabolites can be measured in an unbiased manner from biological samples. In this setting, H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of biofluids such as plasma, urine, and fecal water offers the opportunity to identify patterns of biomarker changes that reflects the physiological or pathological status of an individual patient.In this chapter, we show as a metabolomics study can be used to diagnose a disease, classifying patients as healthy or as pathological taking into account individual variability.

Serum metabolic fingerprinting on Ag@AuNWs for traumatic brain injury diagnosis.

Nanotechnology

January 2025

Xi'an Jiaotong University, xian ning west road 28#, xi'an, Xi'an, None Selected, 710049, CHINA.

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is essential for high-quality medical services. Nonetheless, the current diagnostic platform still has challenges in rapidly and accurately analysing clinical samples. Here, we prepared a highly stable, repeatable and sensitive gold-plated silver core-shell nanowire (Ag@AuNWs) for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) metabolic fingerprint diagnosis of TBI.

Spatial metabolomics offers the combination of molecular identification and localization. As a tool for spatial metabolomics, mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) can provide detailed information on localization. However, molecular annotation with MSI is challenging due to the lack of separation prior to mass spectrometric analysis.

Aims: The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is composed of distinct sub-regions, which exhibit segment-specific differences in microbial colonization and (patho)physiological characteristics. Gut microbes can be collectively considered as an active endocrine organ. Microbes produce metabolites, which can be taken up by the host and can actively communicate with the immune cells in the gut lamina propria with consequences for cardiovascular health.

Simultaneous Profiling of Multiple Phosphorylated Metabolites in Typical Biological Matrices via Ion-Pair Reversed-Phase Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.

Anal Chem

State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, School of Life Sciences, Human Phenome Institute, Zhangjiang Fudan International Innovation Center, Metabonomics and Systems Biology Laboratory at Shanghai International Centre for Molecular Phenomics, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China.

Simultaneous analysis of multiple phosphorylated metabolites (phosphorylated metabolome) in biological samples is vital to reveal their physiological and pathophysiological functions, which is extremely challenging due to their low abundance in some biological matrices, high hydrophilicity, and poor chromatographic behavior. Here, we developed a new method with ion-pair reversed-phase ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry using BEH C18 columns modified with hybrid surface technology. This method demonstrated good performances for various phosphorylated metabolites, including phosphorylated sugars and amino acids, nucleotides, NAD-based cofactors, and acyl-CoAs in a single run using standard LC systems.
