Study TitleUntargeted Metabolomics Identifies Biomarkers for MCADD Neonates in Dried Blood Spots
Study TypeNewborn screening
Study SummaryMedium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is the most common inherited mitochondrial metabolic disease of fatty acid β-oxidation, especially in newborns. MCADD is clinically diagnosed using Newborn Bloodspot Screening (NBS) and genetic testing. Still, these methods have limitations, such as false negatives or positives in NBS and variants of uncertain significance in genetic testing. Thus, complementary diagnostic approaches for MCADD are needed. Recently, untargeted metabolomics has been proposed as a diagnostic approach for inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs) due to its ability to detect a wide range of metabolic alterations. We performed untargeted metabolic profiling of dried blood spots (DBS) from MCADD newborns (n=14) and healthy controls (n=14) to discover potential metabolic biomarkers/pathways associated with MCADD. Extracted metabolites from DBS samples were analyzed using UPLC-QToF-MS for untargeted metabolomics analyses. Multivariate and univariate analyses were used to analyze the metabolomics data, and pathway and biomarker analyses were also performed on the significantly endogenous identified metabolites. MCADD newborns had 1034 significantly dysregulated metabolites compared to healthy newborns (Moderated t-test, no correction, p-value ≤ 0.05, FC 1.5). 23 endogenous metabolites were upregulated, while 84 endogenous metabolites were downregulated. Pathway analyses showed phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis as the most affected pathway. Potential metabolic biomarkers for MCADD were PGP (a21:0/PG/F1alpha) and glutathione with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.949 and 0.898, respectively. PGP (a21:0/PG/F1alpha) was the only oxidized lipid in the top-15 biomarker list with the highest p-value and FC. Also, glutathione was chosen to indicate oxidative stress events that could happen during fatty acid oxidation defects. Our findings suggest that MCADD newborns may have oxidative stress events as signs of the disease. However, further validations of these biomarkers are needed in future studies to ensure their accuracy and reliability as complementary markers with established MCADD markers for clinical diagnosis.

Chromatography Summary:Metabolomics analysis was explored using the Waters Acquity UPLC system coupled with a Xevo G2-S QTOF mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source (ESI) (43,44). In detail, the extracted metabolites were chromatographed using an ACQUITY UPLC using XSelect (100×2.1mm 2.5 μm) column (Waters Ltd., Elstree, UK), the mobile phase composed of 0.1% formic acid in dH2O as solvent A and solvent B consists of 0.1% formic acid in 50% ACN: MeOH. A gradient elution schedule was run as follows: 0-16 min 95- 5% A, 16-19 min 5% A, 19-20 min 5-95% A, 20-22 min 95- 95% A, at 300 μL/min flow rate. MS spectra were acquired under positive and negative electrospray ionization modes (ESI+, ESI-). MS conditions were as follows: source temperature was 150◦C, the desolvation temperature was 500◦C (ESI+) or 140 (ESI−), the capillary voltage was 3.20 kV (ESI+) or 3 kV (ESI−), cone voltage was 40 V, desolvation gas flow was 800.0 L/h, cone gas flow was 50 L/h. The collision energies of low and high functions were set at 0 and 10-50 V, respectively, in MSE mode. The mass spectrometer was calibrated with sodium formate in 100–1200 Da. Data were collected in continuum mode with Masslynx™ V4.1 (Waters Technologies, Milford, MA., USA) workstation.
