#METABOLOMICS WORKBENCH wpathmasiri_20210908_100810 DATATRACK_ID:2829 STUDY_ID:ST001914 ANALYSIS_ID:AN003112 VERSION 1 CREATED_ON 09-06-2023 #PROJECT PR:PROJECT_TITLE Fecal Metabolomics Reveals Products of Dysregulated Proteolysis and Altered PR:PROJECT_TITLE Microbial Metabolism in Obesity-Related Osteoarthritis PR:PROJECT_TYPE C18 Reversed-Phase Broad Spectrum Metabolomics PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Objective. The objective of this study was to determine if perturbations in gut PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY microbial composition and the gut metabolome could be linked to individuals with PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY obesity and osteoarthritis (OA). Methods. Fecal samples were collected from PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY obese individuals diagnosed with radiographic hand plus knee OA (n=59), defined PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY as involvement of at least 3 joints across both hands, and a Kellgren-Lawrence PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY (KL) grade 2-4 (or total knee replacement) in at least one knee. Controls (n=33) PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY were without hand OA and with KL grade 0-1 knees. Fecal metabolomes were PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY analyzed by a UHPLC/Q Exactive HFx mass spectrometer. Microbiome composition was PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY determined in fecal samples by 16S ribosomal RNA amplicon sequencing (rRNA-seq). PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Stepwise logistic regression models were built to determine microbiome and/or PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolic characteristics of OA. Results. Untargeted metabolomics analysis PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY indicated that OA cases had significantly higher levels of di- and tri-peptides PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and significant perturbations in microbial metabolites including propionic acid, PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY indoles and other tryptophan metabolites. Pathway analysis revealed several PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY significantly perturbed pathways associated with OA including leukotriene PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolism, amino acid metabolism and fatty acid utilization. Logistic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY regression models selected metabolites associated with the gut microbiota and PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY leaky gut syndrome as significant predictors of OA status, particularly when PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY combined with the rRNA-seq data. Conclusions. Adults with obesity and OA have PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY distinct fecal metabolomes characterized by increased products of proteolysis, PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY perturbations in leukotriene metabolism, and changes in microbial metabolites PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY compared with controls. These metabolic perturbations indicate a possible role PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY of dysregulated proteolysis in OA.

The CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY samples were picked up by study personnel or returned to the study clinic by the CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY participant within 24 hours of the time the stool was collected. Stool samples CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY were stored at the clinic site in a -200C freezer for up to one week until CO:COLLECTION_SUMMARY transfer to a -800C freezer where samples were kept until processing. CO:SAMPLE_TYPE Feces CO:STORAGE_CONDITIONS -80℃ #TREATMENT TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY NA #SAMPLEPREP SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY Ninety-two fecal samples (250-300 mg) were randomized and homogenized in 50:50 SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY acetonitrile:water (5 mL/ mg fecal mass) in MagNALyser tubes with ceramic beads, SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY using an Omni Bead Ruptor (5 meters per second, two 30-sec cycles, 15 sec dwell SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY time in between cycles). Samples were centrifuged at 16,000 relative centrifugal SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY force (rcf) for 15 min, the supernatant was transferred, and centrifuged again SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY at 16,000 rcf for 5 min. Quality control (QC) samples were prepared by pooling SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 70 µL supernatant from each of the study samples and processed identically to SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY the study samples. An aliquot of the supernatant (100 mL) from each sample was SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY transferred to 2.0 mL tubes and dried overnight by SpeedVac and then SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY reconstituted in 200 mL of reconstitution solution (95:5 water-methanol solvent SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY containing 500 ng/ml tryptophan d-5). Samples were centrifuged at 16,000 rcf at SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 4°C for 4 minutes and the supernatants were transferred to autosampler vials. SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY The study samples were randomized with interspersed QC pools before data SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY acquisition. An injection volume of 5 mL was used for the UPLC-MS analysis.
