Xenobiotics are ubiquitous in the environment and modified in the human body by phase I and II metabolism. Liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry is a powerful tool to investigate these biotransformation products. We present a workflow based on stable isotope-assisted metabolomics and the bioinformatics tool MetExtract II for deciphering xenobiotic metabolites produced by human cells. Its potential was demonstrated by the investigation of the metabolism of deoxynivalenol (DON), an abundant food contaminant, in a liver carcinoma cell line (HepG2) and a model for colon carcinoma (HT29). Detected known metabolites included DON-3-sulfate, DON-10-sulfonate 2, and DON-10-glutathione as well as DON-cysteine. Conjugation with amino acids and an antibiotic was confirmed for the first time. The approach allows the untargeted elucidation of human xenobiotic products in tissue culture. It may be applied to other fields of research including drug metabolism, personalized medicine, exposome research, and systems biology to better understand the relevance of experiments.

The significance of small molecule metabolites as biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis is growing increasingly evident, necessitating the development of highly sensitive qualitative and quantitative methods. Herein, multi-chemoselective probes are synthesized and applied for profiling metabolites, including carboxyl, phosphate, hydroxyl, amino, thiol, and carbonyl compounds. This approach seamlessly integrates magnetic solid-phase materials, orthogonal cleavage sites, isotopic tags, and selective coupling sites, minimizes matrix interference, and enhances quantitative accuracy.

In chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), the persistence of leukemic stem cells (LSCs) after treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), such as imatinib, can lead to disease relapse. It is known that therapy-resistant LSCs rely on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) for their survival and that targeting mitochondrial respiration sensitizes CML LSCs to imatinib treatment. However, current OXPHOS inhibitors have demonstrated limited efficacy or have shown adverse effects in clinical trials, highlighting that identification of clinically safe oxidative pathway inhibitors is warranted.

Ribosomes are an archetypal ribonucleoprotein assembly. Due to ribosomal evolution and function, r-proteins share specific physicochemical similarities, making the riboproteome particularly suited for tailored proteome profiling methods. Moreover, the structural proteome of ribonucleoprotein assemblies reflects context-dependent functional features.

It remains challenging to establish reliable links between transformation products (TPs) of contaminants and corresponding microbes. This challenge arises due to the sophisticated experimental regime required for TP discovery and the compositional nature of 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and mass spectrometry datasets, which can potentially confound statistical inference. In this study, we present a new strategy by combining the use of H-labeled Stable Isotope-Assisted Metabolomics (H-SIAM) with a neural network-based algorithm (i.

The capacity to leverage high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) with transient isotope labeling experiments is an untapped opportunity to derive insights on context-specific metabolism, that is difficult to assess quantitatively. Tools are needed to comprehensively mine isotopologue information in an automated, high-throughput way without errors. We describe a tool, Stable Isotope-assisted Metabolomics for Pathway Elucidation (SIMPEL), to simplify analysis and interpretation of isotope-enriched HRMS datasets.
