| Study Title | Perturbed pediatric circulating metabolome in mild and severe dengue disease |
| Study Summary | Four billion people are at risk of infection with dengue viruses (DENV), and this burden is rapidly increasing due to geographic expansion of the mosquito vector. Infection with any of the four serotypes of DENV can result in a self-limiting but debilitating febrile illness (DF), and some infections progress to severe disease with hemorrhagic manifestations and shock (dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome [DHF/DSS]). DENV infection drives the metabolic state of host cells for viral benefit and induces a host-immune response with metabolic implications that link to disease. Here, a dynamic metabolic response to DENV infection and disease was measured in 535 pediatric patients from Nicaragua using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Metabolomic analyses revealed profound disruptions of critical biochemical pathways and metabolites within the circulating metabolome, especially in those with more severe manifestations of dengue disease. A biomarker panel of 28 metabolites was utilized to classify DF versus DHF/DSS with high sensitivity and specificity, equating to a balanced accuracy of 96.88%. Structurally confirmed metabolites belonged to biochemical pathways of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, sphingolipids, dipeptides, purines, and tryptophan metabolism. Dipeptides emerged as the most critical molecules for severe disease classification. Additionally, a previously reported trend between serotonin and platelets in DHF patients was expanded upon here, revealing a major depletion of serotonin, but not platelets, in DSS patients. In this study, the perturbed metabolome was used for disease state classification and exploration of the biochemistry of severe dengue disease pathology. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO003824 |
| Collection Summary: | 535 samples from 535 individuals were retrospectively obtained from two different well-established studies in Managua, Nicaragua. A set of 122 well-characterized were sourced from the Pediatric Dengue Cohort Study (PDCS). Those who met the case definition of dengue, or undifferentiated febrile illnesses, were worked up for laboratory confirmation using molecular biological, virological, and/or serological methods. Another 413 samples were obtained from patients 1 to 14 years old in the Pediatric Dengue Hospital-based Study (PDHS) who presented at the Hospital Infantil Manuel de Jesús Rivera, the National Pediatric Reference Hospital in Nicaragua with a fever or history of fever for <7 days and one or more of the following signs and symptoms: headache, arthralgia, myalgia, retro-orbital pain, positive tourniquet test, petechiae, or signs of bleeding. Cases were laboratory-confirmed for DENV infection by detection of DENV RNA by RT-PCR, isolation of DENV, seroconversion of DENV-specific IgM antibody titers observed by MAC-ELISA in paired acute- and convalescent-phase samples, and/or seroconversion or a ≥4-fold increase in anti-DENV antibody titer measured using inhibition ELISA (iELISA) in paired acute and convalescent samples. Immune status was determined using iELISA in early convalescent samples (14 or more days post-onset of symptoms); <2,560 was considered primary infection and ≥2,560 was considered secondary infection. Cases were classified by disease severity (DF, DHF, or DSS) using computerized algorithms based on the 1997 WHO schema. Samples that were negative for DENV infection were classified as ND. |
| Sample Type: | Blood (serum) |
| Collection Location: | Managua, Nicaragua |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR003840 |
| Treatment Summary: | Cases were classified based on the 1997 World Health Organization schema by dengue disease severity: non-severe dengue fever (DF), or the severe manifestations dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). Samples that were negative for DENV infection were classified as non-dengue (ND). |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP003838 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Twenty microliters of each sample were aliquoted into individual microcentrifuge tubes, and an additional 20 µL of each serum sample were combined to generate the pooled quality control (QC). For metabolite extraction, patient serum and pooled QC samples were randomized. Five microliters of L-tryptophan-d5 (80 ng/mL) heavy-isotope labeled internal standard were added to 20 µL of patient serum (or pooled QC aliquot) in a microcentrifuge tube. To precipitate proteins, 100 µL of cold methanol was added to the serum and samples were incubated for 12 hours at -80 °C. Samples were then centrifuged at 4 °C for 15 min at 18,000 x g to pellet proteins. Supernatant was then transferred to a new microfuge tube and dried under nitrogen. Samples were reconstituted in 25 µL of methanol/water (50/50), let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes, vortexed for 20 seconds and centrifuged to pellet insoluble debris. Sample supernatants were then transferred to autosampler vials fitted with low-volume inserts and immediately submitted for LC-MS analysis. Serum samples were prepared and analyzed in 6 randomized batches. A pooled quality control sample was run after every 5 experimental samples and a solvent blank was run after every 10 samples. |

From 14.5 to 15 minutes the mobile phase composition was returned to starting gradient conditions of 5% B. From 15 to 19.5 minutes the starting gradient conditions were held to equilibrate the LC column for the subsequent sample injection. |
