| Study Title | UNTARGETED METABOLOMIC AND LIPIDOMIC PROFILING IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS PATIENTS USING UPLC-QTOF-MS |
| Study Summary | Liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) was employed to discriminate the 24 cystic fibrosis patients from the 26 age and gender-matched healthy controls. Multivariate statistical and pathway enrichment analyses revealed dysregulation in galactose metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, bile acid, fatty acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and amino acid catabolism. The quantification of identified cystic fibrosis biomarkers identified by the combined lipidomic and metabolomic analyses will be valuable for early diagnosis and for assessing treatment.The combined metabolomic and lipidomic profiling of plasma from CF patients uncovers metabolic dysregulations underlying major aspects of the pathophysiology of the disease. Significant upregulation and downregulation of hundreds of metabolites in both ionization modes point to a complex biochemical profile marked by oxidative stress, chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, impaired lipid metabolism, and altered energy production. Disruption of glutathione homeostasis, elevated oxidized amino acids, and accumulation of eicosanoid-containing phospholipids and bioactive lipids (e.g., leukotrienes, prostaglandins, thromboxanes) indicate increased oxidative damage and inflammatory signaling. Furthermore, altered levels of di- and triacylglycerols, bile acid conjugates, and bacterial lipid derivatives suggest pancreatic insufficiency, hepatic involvement, and chronic microbial colonization, hallmarks of advanced CF pathology. Pathway analysis confirmed the dysregulation of critical metabolic routes, including galactose metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, bile acid and fatty acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and amino acid catabolism. These impairments are strongly associated to with clinical features of CF like mucus hypersecretion, malnutrition, immune dysfunction, insulin resistance, and vitamin D deficiency. The results underscore the potential of metabolomic and lipidomic biomarkers to enhance our understanding of CF disease mechanisms. They offer promising avenues for early diagnosis, patient stratification, and the development of personalized interventions aimed at restoring metabolic balance and reducing disease progression. |

| Project Title: | UNTARGETED METABOLOMIC AND LIPIDOMIC PROFILING IN CYSTIC FIBROSIS PATIENTS USING UPLC-QTOF-MS |
| Project Type: | Untargeted analysis |
| Project Summary: | Cystic fibrosis (CF), also known as mucoviscidosis, is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease. It is caused by a mutation in the CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) gene, which disrupts the normal function of the chloride ion channel. Clinical manifestations of CF typically include recurrent respiratory infections, chronic airway inflammation, progressive decline in lung function, and intermittent pulmonary exacerbations. The primary aim of our study is to identify plasma biomarkers in patients with cystic fibrosis through untargeted metabolomic and lipidomic analyses, with the goal of enabling early detection, accurate diagnosis, and effective monitoring of the disease. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004412 |
| Collection Summary: | A total of 50 plasma samples were collected: 24 samples from healthy controls (non-CF subjects) and 26 plasma samples from untreated individuals with CF. After collection, plasma samples were stored at -80°C. |
| Sample Type: | Blood (plasma) |
| Storage Conditions: | -80℃ |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004428 |
| Treatment Summary: | After collection, plasma samples were stored at -80°C. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004425 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | For metabolomic sample preparation, 100 µL of MeOH was added into 100 µl of plasma sample for protein precipitation. After vortex for 30 seconds and centrifugation at 13 000 g for 10 minutes, the supernatant was evaporated and reconstituted in 200 µL of (ACN: H2O) (85:15). A pooled quality control (QC) was prepared by mixing 10 µL of each sample before injection. For lipidomic analysis, extraction of plasma lipids was carried out using Matyash modified protocol using a liquid-liquid extraction method. Fifty µL of plasma was combined with 600 µL of MTBE and 200 µL of MeOH.11-18 The mixture was vortexed for 30 seconds to ensure thorough mixing. The samples were afterwards incubated for 20 minutes at 15°C with continuous agitation at 300 rpm. After incubation, 180 µL of water was added to the mixture. The plasma samples were vortexed for 30 seconds to ensure homogeneity. Subsequently, the plasma samples were centrifuged at 15 000×g for 10 minutes to separate the phases. One hundred µL of the upper organic phase was carefully collected and evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to remove the solvent completely. The dried residue was then reconstituted in 200 µL of MeOH. A pooled quality control (QC) was prepared by mixing 10 µL of each sample before injection. |
