Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Dissolved organic carbon compounds in deep-sea hydrothermal vent fluids from the East Pacific Rise at 9°50′N'.
Answer: Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are unique ecosystems that may release chemically distinct dissolved organic matter to the deep ocean. Here, we describe the composition and concentrations of polar dissolved organic compounds observed in low and high temperature hydrothermal vent fluids at 9°50′N on the East Pacific Rise. The concentration of dissolved organic carbon was 46 µM in the low temperature hydrothermal fluids and 14 µM in the high temperature hydrothermal fluids. In the low temperature vent fluids, quantifiable dissolved organic compounds were dominated by water-soluble vitamins and amino acids. Derivatives of benzoic acid and the organic sulfur compound 2,3-dihydroxypropane-1-sulfonate (DHPS) were also present in low and high temperature hydrothermal fluids. The low temperature vent fluids contain organic compounds that are central to biological processes, suggesting that they are a by-product of biological activity in the subseafloor. These compounds may fuel heterotrophic and other metabolic processes at deep-sea hydrothermal vents and beyond.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Gut microbiota-derived butyric acid protected against secondary brain injury after SAH by inhibiting neuronal pyroptosis and regulating gut microbiota composition (Human assays)'.
Answer: BACKGROUND: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating cerebrovascular disease with a poor prognosis. Accumulating studies have reported that gut microbiota contributes to the pathophysiology of several central nervous system diseases. However, whether SAH can change gut microbiota composition and affected gut microbiota is involved in the development of secondary brain injury following SAH remains unclear.METHODS: A retrospective case-control study was performed in unruptured intracranial aneurysm (UIA, CTL) and ruptured intracranial aneurysm (SAH) patients. Patients' fecal and serum samples were collected and sequenced by metagenome and metabolome. The experimental SAH mice models were established, and their feces and serum were also analyzed by 16S rRNA and metabolic sequencing. Fecal microbiota from SAH patients and mice was transplanted to ABX mice to investigate the relationship between the gut microbiota and secondary brain injury following SAH.RESULTS: SAH seriously influenced gut microbiota composition and significantly increased the relative abundance of the genus Escherichia. SAH also considerably reduced the production of gut microbiota-derived butyric acid. Furthermore, SAH-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis aggravated brain injury and cognitive deficits in ABX mice by promoting inflammatory response. Sodium butyrate (NaB) administration protected against secondary brain injury following SAH by inhibiting pyroptosis-related neuroinflammation, which is mediated by NLRP1/Caspase-1/GSDMD and Caspase-3/GSDME signaling pathways. NaB drinking pretreatment also alleviated secondary brain injury following SAH by increasing the relative abundance of butyric acid-producing bacteria, such as Dubosiella and Faecalibaculum, and decreasing the Escherichia abundance.CONCLUSION: SAH contributed to gut microbiota dysbiosis and changed gut microbiota exacerbated secondary brain injury after SAH. Supplement with gut microbiota-derived butyric acid protected against brain injury following SAH by inhibiting NLRP1/Caspase-1/GSDMD and Caspase-3/GSDME-mediated neuronal pyroptosis.Linked studies:UPLC-MS/MS assays of human samples are reported in this study.UPLC-MS/MS assays of  murine samples are reported in MTBLS9100.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Effect of glycerol feed-supplementation on seabass metabolism and gut microbiota'.
Answer: Dietary glycerol supplementation in aquaculture feed is seen as an alternative and inexpensive way to  fuel fish metabolism, attenuate metabolic utilization of dietary proteins and, subsequently reduce nitrogen  excretion. In this study, we evaluated the impact of dietary glycerol supplementation has on nitrogen excretion of European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and its effects on metabolite profile and bacterial community composition of gut digesta. These effects were evaluated in a 60-day trial with fish fed diets supplemented with 0, 2.5 or 5% (w/w) refined glycerol. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing characterized the effects of glycerol supplementation of digesta metabolite and bacterial community composition of 6h postprandial fish. Our results showed ammonia excretion was not altered by dietary glycerol supplementation and the highest glycerol dosage was associated with significant increases in amino acids and a significant decrease of ergogenic creatine in digesta metabolome. Concomitantly, significant decreases in putative amino acid degradation pathways were detected in the predicted metagenome analysis, suggesting a metabolic shift. Taxon-specific analysis  revealed significant increases in abundance of some specific genera (e.g. Burkholderia and Vibrio) and bacterial diversity. Overall, our results indicate glycerol supplementation may decrease amino acid catabolism without adversely affecting fish gut bacterial communities.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Estimating essential phenotypic and molecular traits from integrative biodiversity data'.
Answer: Functional ecology and biodiversity lack integrative reference data that combine the assessment of traits at different levels. Here, we integrate data from 16 field samples of complex thallose liverworts (order Marchantiales) collected from biological soil crust communities in Southern Sweden and Germany at three levels: (1) bioimaging (morphometric measurements from macro- and microscopy), (2) metabolomics (molecular computations performed on liquid chromatography high-resolution mass-spectrometry (UPLC/ESI-QTOF-MS) with data-dependent acquisition (DDA-MS) data) and (3) DNA marker sequencing. These data are used to construct a reference framework including a proposed naming scheme for the estimation of molecular traits and for demonstrating the systematic and standardized extraction of phenotypic and molecular traits for integration into the plant trait database TRY. Phylogenetic trees and partitioning around medoids are used to demonstrate the assessment of evolutionary relationships and the trait space connecting ecological hypotheses and documenting knowledge gains across domains. With our reference framework we want to encourage the combined assessment, reuse and integration of phenotypic and molecular traits into functional biodiversity research and related disciplines.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Obesogenic high-fat diet and MYC cooperate to promote lactate accumulation and tumor microenvironment remodeling in prostate cancer (Murine serum assays)'.
Answer: Cancer cells exhibit metabolic plasticity to meet oncogene-driven dependencies while coping with nutrient availability. A better understanding of how systemic metabolism impacts the accumulation of metabolites that reprogram the tumor microenvironment and drive cancer could facilitate development of precision nutrition approaches. Using the Hi-MYC prostate cancer mouse model, we demonstrated that an obesogenic high-fat diet rich in saturated fats accelerates the development of c-MYC-driven invasive prostate cancer through metabolic rewiring. Although c-MYC modulated key metabolic pathways, interaction with an obesogenic high-fat diet was necessary to induce glycolysis and lactate accumulation in tumors. These metabolic changes were associated with augmented infiltration of CD206+ and PD-L1+ tumor-associated macrophages and FOXP3+ regulatory T cells, as well as with the activation of transcriptional programs linked to disease progression and therapy resistance. Lactate itself also stimulated neoangiogenesis and prostate cancer cell migration, which were significantly reduced following treatment with the lactate dehydrogenase inhibitor FX11. In prostate cancer patients, high saturated fat intake and increased body mass index were associated with tumor glycolytic features that promote the infiltration of M2-like tumor-associated macrophages. Finally, upregulation of lactate dehydrogenase, indicative of a lactagenic phenotype, was associated with a shorter time to biochemical recurrence in independent clinical cohorts. This work identifies cooperation between genetic drivers and systemic metabolism to hijack the tumor microenvironment and promote prostate cancer progression through oncometabolite accumulation. This sets the stage for the assessment of lactate as a prognostic biomarker and supports strategies of dietary intervention and direct lactagenesis blockade in treating advanced prostate cancer.Murine serum assays are reported in the current study MTBLS3316.Murine prostate assays are reported in MTBLS3317.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Polyamines regulate adaptive antitumor immunity by functional specialization of regulatory T cells'.
Answer: In cancer, metabolic changes and uncontrolled tumor growth alter nutrient availability, impacting antitumor immune responses. Regulatory T (Treg) cells are a subset of T cells with immunosuppressive properties that has been found to additionally possess the ability to control tissue homeostasis and repair. However, it is not known how these Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems Corporation functions are molecularly controlled and if they are influenced by tumor metabolism. Here, we report that excessive release of polyamines in the tumor microenvironment directs the functional polarization of Treg cells towards immunosuppression in a protein kinase CK2 (CK2)-dependent manner. Polyamine deprivation as well as genetic or pharmacological inhibition of CK2 activity in Treg cells induced tissue reparative properties in Treg cells that orchestrated efficient antitumor type 2 immune responses, and coordinated tissue repair mechanisms to support tumor eradication. These findings suggest the potential for targeted modulation of Treg cell functions, offering new avenues for cancer therapy.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled '1H-NMR-based metabolomic analysis identifies disrupted glutamate metabolism as distinct serum signature in Parkinson’s disease patients'.
Answer: Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography, we recently demonstrated a complex dysregulation of the glutamate NMDA receptor-stimulating amino acids in the brain, CSF and serum of Parkinson’s disease (PD) experimental models and patients. Here, we investigate the serum metabolomic profile in the same PD patients and healthy controls (HC) cohorts through an untargeted 1H-Nuclear Magnetic Resonance approach. We found that serum Glutamate levels discriminated PD and HC groups with high diagnostic accuracy.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Disturbed Microbiota-Metabolites-Immune Interaction Network is Associated with Olfactory Dysfunction in Patients with Chronic Rhinosinusitis'.
Answer: PURPOSE: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a debilitating symptom frequently reported by patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and it is associated with a dysregulated sinonasal inflammation. However, little information is available about the effect of the inflammation-related nasal microbiota and related metabolites on the olfactory function in these patients. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the nasal microbiota-metabolites-immune interactions and their role in the pathogenesis of OD in CRS patients.METHODS: 23 and 19 CRS patients with and without OD (NOD), respectively, were enrolled in the present study. The 'Sniffin' Sticks' was used to measure the olfactory function, while the metagenomic shotgun sequencing and the untargeted metabolomic profiling were performed to assess the differences in terms of the nasal microbiome and metabolome between the two groups. The levels of nasal mucus inflammatory mediators were investigated by a multiplex flow Cytometric Bead Array (CBA).RESULTS: A decreased diversity in the nasal microbiome from the OD group compared to the NOD group was evidenced. The metagenomic analysis revealed a significant enrichment of Acinetobacter johnsonii in the OD group, while Mycoplasma arginini, Aeromonas dhakensis and Salmonella enterica were significantly less represented (LDA value > 3, p < 0.05). The nasal metabolome profiles were significantly different between the OD and NOD groups (P < 0.05). The purine metabolism was the most significantly enriched metabolic subpathway in OD patients compared with NOD patients (P < 0.001). The expressions of IL-5, IL-8, MIP-1alpha, MCP-1 and TNF were statistically and significantly increased in the OD group (P < 0.05). All these data, including the dysregulation of the nasal microbiota, differential metabolites and elevated inflammatory mediators in OD patients demonstrated a clear interaction relationship.CONCLUSIONS: The disturbed nasal microbiota-metabolite-immune interaction networks may be implicated in the pathogenesis of OD in CRS patients and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms need to be further investigated in future studies.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Metabolic differences in ripening of Solanum lycopersicum 'Ailsa Craig' and three monogenic mutants'.
Answer: Application of mass spectrometry enables the detection of metabolic differences between groups of related organisms. Differences in the metabolic fingerprints of wild-type Solanum lycopersicum and three monogenic mutants, ripening inhibitor (rin), non-ripening (nor) and Colourless non-ripening (Cnr), of tomato are captured with regard to ripening behaviour. A high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry system coupled to liquid chromatography produced a time series of the ripening behaviour at discrete intervals with a focus on changes post-anthesis. Internal standards and quality controls were used to ensure system stability. The raw data of the samples and reference compounds including study protocols have been deposited in the open metabolomics database MetaboLights via the metadata annotation tool Isatab to enable efficient re-use of the datasets, such as in metabolomics cross-study comparisons or data fusion exercises.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Stable Isotope–Assisted Plant Metabolomics: Combination of Global and Tracer-Based Labeling for Enhanced Untargeted Profiling and Compound Annotation'.
Answer: Untargeted approaches and thus biological interpretation of metabolomics results are still hampered by the reliable assignment of the global metabolome as well as classification and (putative) identification of metabolites. In this work we present an liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based stable isotope assisted approach that combines global metabolome and tracer based isotope labeling for improved characterization of (unknown) metabolites and their classification into tracer derived submetabolomes. To this end, wheat plants were cultivated in a customized growth chamber, which was kept at 400 ± 50 ppm 13CO2 to produce highly enriched uniformly 13C-labeled sample material. Additionally, native plants were grown in the greenhouse and treated with either 13C9-labeled phenylalanine (Phe) or 13C11-labeled tryptophan (Trp) to study their metabolism and biochemical pathways. After sample preparation, liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis and automated data evaluation, the results of the global metabolome- and tracer-labeling approaches were combined. A total of 1,729 plant metabolites were detected out of which 122 respective 58 metabolites account for the Phe- and Trp-derived submetabolomes. Besides m/z and retention time, also the total number of carbon atoms as well as those of the incorporated tracer moieties were obtained for the detected metabolite ions. With this information at hand characterization of unknown compounds was improved as the additional knowledge from the tracer approaches considerably reduced the number of plausible sum formulas and structures of the detected metabolites. Finally, the number of putative structure formulas was further reduced by isotope-assisted annotation tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) derived product ion spectra of the detected metabolites. A major innovation of this paper is the classification of the metabolites into submetabolomes which turned out to be valuable information for effective filtering of database hits based on characteristic structural subparts. This allows the generation of a final list of true plant metabolites, which can be characterized at different levels of specificity.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Analysis of Growth Phases of Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli Reveals a Distinct Transition Phase before Entry into Early Stationary Phase with Shifts in Tryptophan, Fucose, and Putrescine Metabolism and Degradation of Neurotransmitter Precursors'.
Answer: Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrhea in children and adults in endemic areas. Gene regulation of ETEC during growth in vitro and in vivo needs to be further evaluated, and here we describe the full transcriptome and metabolome of ETEC during growth from mid-logarithmic growth to early stationary phase in rich medium (LB medium). We identified specific genes and pathways subjected to rapid transient alterations in gene expression and metabolite production during the transition from logarithmic to stationary growth. The transient phase was found to be different from the subsequent induction of early stationary phase-induced genes. The transient phase was characterized by the repression of genes and metabolites involved in organic substance transport. Genes involved in fucose and putrescine metabolism were upregulated, and genes involved in iron transport were repressed. Expression of toxins and colonization factors were not changed, suggesting retained virulence from mid-logarithmic to the start of the stationary phase. Metabolomic analyses showed that the transient phase was characterized by a drop of intracellular amino acids, e.g., L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, L-phenylalanine, L-leucine and L-glutamic acid, followed by increased levels at induction of stationary phase. A pathway enrichment analysis of the entire combined transcriptome and metabolome revealed that significant pathways during progression from logarithmic to early stationary phase are involved in the degradation of neurotransmitters aminobutyrate (GABA) and precursors of 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonin). This work provides a comprehensive framework for further studies on transcriptional and metabolic regulation in pathogenic E. coli.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the differential accumulation of phenylpropanoids and terpenoids in hemp autotetraploid and its diploid progenitor'.
Answer: BackgroundCannabis sativa, a dioecious plant that has been cultivated worldwide for thousands of years, is known for its secondary metabolites, especially cannabinoids, which possess several medicinal effects. In this study, we investigated the autopolyploidization effects on the biosynthesis and accumulation of these metabolites, transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were performed to explore the gene expression and metabolic variations in industrial hemp autotetraploids and their diploid progenitors.ResultsThrough these analyses, we obtained 1,663 differentially expressed metabolites and 1,103 differentially expressed genes. Integrative analysis revealed that phenylpropanoid and terpenoid biosynthesis were regulated by polyploidization. No substantial differences were found in the cannabidiol or tetrahydrocannabinol content between tetraploids and diploids. Following polyploidization, some transcription factors, including nine bHLH and eight MYB transcription factors, affected the metabolic biosynthesis as regulators. Additionally, several pivotal catalytic genes, such as flavonol synthase/flavanone 3-hydroxylase, related to the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway, were identified as being modulated by polyploidization.ConclusionsThis study enhances the overall understanding of the impact of autopolyploidization in C. sativa and the findings may encourage the application of polyploid breeding for increasing the content of important secondary metabolites in industrial hemp.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Specific decorations of 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides solve the autotoxicity problem of chemical defense in Nicotiana attenuata'.
Answer: The native diploid tobacco Nicotiana attenuata produces abundant, potent anti-herbivore defense metabolites known as 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool diterpene glycosides (HGL-DTGs) whose glycosylation and malonylation biosynthetic steps are regulated by jasmonate signaling. To characterize the biosynthetic pathway of HGL-DTGs, we conducted a genome-wide analysis of uridine diphosphate glycosyltransferases (UGTs) and identified 107 family-1 UGT members. The transcript levels of three UGTs were highly correlated with the transcript levels two key HGL-DTG biosynthetic genes: geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase (NaGGPPS) and geranyllinalool synthase (NaGLS). NaGLS's role in HGL-DTG biosynthesis was confirmed by virus-induced gene silencing. Silencing the Uridine diphosphate (UDP)-rhamnosyltransferase gene UGT91T1 demonstrated its role in the rhamnosylation of HGL-DTGs. In vitro enzyme assays revealed that UGT74P3 and UGT74P4 use UDP-glucose for the glucosylation of 17-hydroxygeranyllinalool (17-HGL) to lyciumoside I. Plants with stable silencing of UGT74P3 and UGT74P5 were severely developmentally deformed, pointing to a phytotoxic effect of the aglycone. The application of synthetic 17-HGL and silencing of the UGTs in HGL-DTG-free plants confirmed this phytotoxic effect. Feeding assays with tobacco hornworm (Manduca sexta) larvae revealed the defensive functions of the glucosylation and rhamnosylation steps in HGL-DTG biosynthesis. Glucosylation of 17-HGL is therefore a critical step that contributes to the resulting metabolites' defensive function and solves the autotoxicity problem of this potent chemical defense.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'ATAD3A has a scaffolding role regulating mitochondria inner membrane structure and protein assembly'.
Answer: The ATPase Family AAA Domain Containing 3A (ATAD3A), is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein conserved in metazoans. ATAD3A has been associated with several mitochondrial functions, including nucleoid organization, cholesterol metabolism, and mitochondrial translation. To address its primary role, we generated a neuronal-specific conditional knockout (Atad3 nKO) mouse model, which developed a severe encephalopathy by 5 months of age. Pre-symptomatic mice showed aberrant mitochondrial cristae morphogenesis in the cortex as early as 2 months. Using a multi-omics approach in the CNS of 2-to-3-month-old mice, we found early alterations in the organelle membrane structure. We also show that human ATAD3A associates with different components of the inner membrane, including OXPHOS complex I, Letm1, and prohibitin complexes. Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) shows that ATAD3A is regularly distributed along the inner mitochondrial membrane, suggesting a critical structural role in inner mitochondrial membrane and its organization, most likely in an ATPase-dependent manner.
