PR:PROJECT_TITLE                 	Untargeted metabolomics revealed multiple metabolic perturbations in plasma of
PR:PROJECT_TITLE                 	T2D patients in response to Liraglutide
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	Despite the global efforts put into the clinical research and studies in order
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	to protect against Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the incidence of T2DM
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	remains high causing a major health problem and impacting the health and care
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	systems. Therefore, T2DM-related treatments and therapies are continuously
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	invented for the clinical use, including Liraglutide. The last is a GLP-1
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	analogue and shows its beneficial health outcomes e.g., improved glycemic
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	control, lower body weight, and reduced cardiovascular disease risks. The
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	intrinsic mechanisms of these beneficial effects are not fully understood;
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	however, our research group has previously published proteomics work
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	demonstrating the involvement of certain important proteins in part in the
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	beneficial health outcomes of Liraglutide. Since proteomics and metabolomics are
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	complementary to each other in the context of the biological pathways, studying
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	the metabolic impacts of Liraglutide on T2DM patients would add further
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	information about the beneficial health outcomes of Liraglutide. Thus, herein,
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	we performed an untargeted metabolomics approach for identifying metabolic
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	pathways impacted by the treatment of Liraglutide in T2DM patients. Methods:
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	Untargeted liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used for
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	metabolomics analysis of plasma samples collected from T2DM patients (n=20)
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	before and after receiving Liraglutide treatment. Metabolic profiling and
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	related pathway and network analyses were conducted. Results: The metabolic
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	profiling analyses identified 93 endogenous metabolites were significantly
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	affected by the Liraglutide treatments, which 49 metabolites up-regulated and 44
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	metabolites down-regulated. Moreover, the metabolic pathway analyses revealed
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	that the most pronounced metabolite and metabolic pathways that were affected by
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	the Liraglutide treatment was Pentose and glucuronate interconversion,
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	suggesting the last may be a potential target of the Liraglutide treatment could
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	be involved in part in the beneficial effects seen in T2DM patients, specially,
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	we found that glucuronate interconversion pathway which is known by its role in
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	eliminating toxic and undesirable substances from the human body, impacted in
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	Liraglutide treated patients. The last findings ar consistence with our previous
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	proteomics findings. Conclusion: These findings, taken together with our
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	previous results, provide a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms
PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY               	involved in the beneficial effects of Liraglutide at the proteomic and metabolic

#TREATMENT
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	Patients with indications of add-on liraglutide were started on treatment by
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	their physician in a scaled-up dose from 0.6 mg to 1.8 mg of a once-daily
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	subcutaneous injection over a period of three weeks. The follow-up visit was
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	scheduled 3 months after receiving the full dose (1.8 mg) of liraglutide. Urine
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	samples were collected at two time points: one sample before and another sample
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	after treatment with liraglutide. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	into plain tubes (Vacutainer, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) from each
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	patient after a 10 h fast. The plasma was separated by centrifugation (15 min,
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	3000× g), divided into several aliquots, and stored at −80 °C for further
TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY             	analysis.

#SAMPLEPREP
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	Metabolite extraction was performed as mentioned elsewhere [1]. Briefly,100 μL
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	aliquot of plasma was mixed with 900 μL of an extraction solvent 1:1
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	acetonitrile (ACN): methanol (MeOH). Concurrently, quality control (QC) samples
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	were generated by taking aliquots from all samples to verify system stability.
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	The mixtures were agitated on a thermomixer (Eppendorf, CITY, Germany) at 600
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	rpm and kept at room temperature (RT) for one hour. Subsequently, the samples
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	underwent centrifugation at 16000 rpm, at a temperature of 4ºC, for a duration
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	of 10 minutes. After centrifugation, 950 μL of the resultant supernatant was
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	transferred into a 1.5-ml Eppendorf tube and then subjected to complete
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	evaporation using a SpeedVac system (Christ, Germany). The dried samples were
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	reconstituted with 100 μL of a 50% mobile phase A and B (A: 0.1% Formic acid in
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	dH2O, B: 0.1% Formic acid in 50% ACN: MeOH). This reconstitution was followed by
SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY            	brief vortexing and then introduced into the LC-MS system for analysis.

#CHROMATOGRAPHY
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	Waters Acquity UPLC system coupled with a Xevo G2-S QTOF mass spectrometer with
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	an electrospray ionization source (ESI) was used to explore the metabolic
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	profile. The extracted metabolites were separated using an ACQUITY UPLC using an
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	XSelect column (100×2.1mm 2.5 μm) (Waters Ltd., Elstree, UK). Mobile phase
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	solvent A was 0.1% formic acid in dH2O, while solvent B consisted of 0.1% formic
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	acid in 50% ACN: MeOH. A gradient elution program was run: 0-16 min with 95-5%
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	A, 16-19 min at 5% A, 19-20 min 5-95% A, and 20-22 min maintaining 5-95% A, all
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	at a flow rate of 300 µL/min. MS spectra were obtained in both positive (ESI+)
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	and negative (ESI-) electrospray ionization modes. The MS parameters were as
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	follows: source temperature at 150°C, desolvation temperature at 500°C (ESI+)
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	or 140°C (ESI-), capillary voltage at 3.20 kV (ESI+) or 3 kV (ESI-), cone
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	voltage at 40 V, desolvation gas flow at 800.0 L/h, and cone gas flow at 50 L/h.
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	Collision energies for low and high functions were set at off and 10 V to 50 V,
CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY        	respectively, in MSE mode. The mass spectrometer was calibrated using sodium
