#METABOLOMICS WORKBENCH emilygill_20191023_135935_mwtab.txt DATATRACK_ID:1837 STUDY_ID:ST001281 ANALYSIS_ID:AN002125 PROJECT_ID:PR000866 VERSION 1 CREATED_ON November 19, 2019, 10:16 am #PROJECT PR:PROJECT_TITLE Transgenic Parkinson's Mice Following Immunotherapy PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY An UHPLC-HRMS Metabolomics and Lipidomics Study of Stool from Transgenic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Parkinson's disease Mice Following Immunotherapy. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY compacta of the brain as well as degeneration of motor and non-motor circuitry. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY The cause of neuronal death is currently unknown, although chronic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY neuroinflammation, aggregated α-synuclein, mitochondrial dysfunction and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY oxidative stress have all been implicated. Gliosis has been shown to exacerbate PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY neuroinflammation via secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and there is a PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY subsequent infiltration of T lymphocytes (T-cells), into the brain of PD PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY patients. Using liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY (LC-HRMS), we have observed metabolomic changes in stool samples, thought to be PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY associated with the potential disease-modifying effect of an immunotherapy PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY administered to transgenic Parkinsonian (A53T) mice. Significant elevations PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY (p<0.05) in metabolites associated with immune response (taurine, histamine and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY its methylated product, 3-methylhistamine) are identified as being higher in the PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY mice undergoing immunotherapy. Furthermore, a reduction in triacylglycerols (TG) PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and diacylglyceols (DG) expression in stool following immunotherapy suggests a PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY regulation of lipid breakdown or biosynthesis with the vaccine. These PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY “omics” markers (among others reported in this article) along with weight PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY gain and increased life expectancy suggest that the immunotherapy is positively PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY modifying the disease state.

Stool was the chosen sample of analysis because of its ease of CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY collection. CO:SAMPLE_TYPE Feces CO:STORAGE_CONDITIONS -80℃ #TREATMENT TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY All animal procedures were approved by UF IACUC, at the University of Florida. TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY Animals were housed in a 12h light-12h dark schedule, and were provided with a TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY diet of Envigo Mouse Chow (Huntingdon, England) and water ad libitum. Animals TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY were housed in groups, including 3 PD and 3 vaccinated PD mice. Female, TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY age-matched heterozygous M83 mice were used in all experiments. The TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY immunotherapy was administered at 6 months, prior to the development of any TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY overt physical symptoms of PD. Briefly, dendritic cells (DC) were pulsed with TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY α-syn (A53T) RNA to generate DC vaccine, and A53T α-syn-specific T cells were TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY generated ex vivo for adoptive transfer into M83 mice expressing the α-syn TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY mutation. A53T α-syn-specific T cells were adoptively transferred intravenously TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY after 5-7d of co-culture via a single injection of 107 autologous ex TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY vivo–expanded T cells. #SAMPLEPREP SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY Folch extraction for lipidomics and protein precipitation for metabolomics. #CHROMATOGRAPHY CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY Lipidomics CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_TYPE HILIC CH:INSTRUMENT_NAME Thermo Dionex Ultimate 3000 CH:COLUMN_NAME Waters Acquity BEH C18 (50 x 2.1mm, 1.7 um) #ANALYSIS AN:ANALYSIS_TYPE MS #MS MS:INSTRUMENT_NAME Thermo Q Exactive Orbitrap MS:INSTRUMENT_TYPE Orbitrap MS:MS_TYPE ESI MS:ION_MODE NEGATIVE MS:MS_COMMENTS Lipidomics MS:MS_RESULTS_FILE ST001281_AN002125_Results.txt UNITS:Peak Height Has m/z:Yes Has RT:Yes RT units:Minutes #END
