Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Cholic Acid as a Potential Mediator in PD Olfactory Dysfunction: Insights from Nasal Microbiome-Metabolite Interactions Research'.
Answer: Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by both motor and non-motor symptoms, including olfactory dysfunction, which often precedes motor symptoms by several years. However, the underlying mechanisms linking olfactory dysfunction in PD to biological changes remain unclear. Recent studies suggest a potential connection between PD's olfactory dysfunction and alterations in the nasal microbiome and metabolome, but comprehensive investigations are still lacking.This study aims to explore the interplay between nasal microbiota, metabolites, and olfactory function in PD, identify potential biomarkers for early diagnosis, and investigate therapeutic targets for olfactory dysfunction in PD. Methods: From October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024, 66 potential participants were enrolled, including PD patients with varying degrees of olfactory dysfunction and healthy controls. Nasal samples were collected for 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomic analysis using GC-MS. The study also used MPTP-induced PD mouse models to assess the protective effects of cholic acid on olfactory function and dopaminergic neurons. Results: The study found significant differences in nasal microbiota composition and metabolite profiles between PD patients and controls, with correlations to the severity of olfactory dysfunction. Specifically, the relative abundances of Corynebacterium, Dolosigranulum, Muribacter, and Moraxella were elevated in the PD group, while the abundances of Hydrogenophaga, Staphylococcus, Klebsiella, and Bacillus decreased. Metabolomic analysis revealed that cholic acid, octanal, hexadecanol, and phytol were significantly altered in PD patients compared to controls, with cholic acid showing potential as a diagnostic biomarker (AUC > 0.97). In MPTP-induced PD mouse models, cholic acid treatment significantly reduced latencies in detecting buried food pellets, and increased tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive fluorescence intensity in the olfactory bulb and substantia nigra. However, cholic acid did not significantly ameliorate motor symptoms in PD mice, as assessed by the open field test, and did not prevent the loss of TH+ cells in the striatum. Conclusion: The findings highlight the interplay between the nasal microbiome, metabolome, and olfactory dysfunction in PD, suggesting that modulating metabolic pathways could be a promising therapeutic strategy. Future research should focus on larger sample sizes, longitudinal studies, and further validation of biomarkers and therapeutic targets to enhance the understanding and management of PD.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Coral symbiotic bacterial community and metabolites changes under thermal stress: A case of laboratory experiment with heating treatment'.
Answer: Coral bleaching and coral reef degradation become severe as the surface seawater temperature rises. Much research to date has focused on the bacterial community composition properties within the coral holobiont, but less attention has been paid to the interactions of bacteria and corals under thermal stress. We investigated the changes of coral symbiotic bacteria and metabolites under thermal stress, and analyzed the internal relationship between bacteria and metabolites as well as their relationship with coral health. We found obvious signs of coral bleaching after heating treatment, and the interaction within symbiotic bacterial community became closer. The coral symbiotic bacterial community and metabolites changed significantly under thermal stress, and bacteria such as Flavobacterium, Shewanella and Psychrobacter increased significantly. Bacteria associated with stress tolerance, biofilm formation and mobile elements decreased, and bacterial DMSP metabolism increased slightly after heating treatment. Differential metabolites in corals after heating treatment were associated with cell cycle regulation and antioxidant. This study revealed the correlation between differential metabolites and bacterial community composition changes in corals under thermal stress, and providing valuable insight on metabolomics research of corals.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Microbial Product Cocktails for Personalized Cancer Immunotherapy'.
Answer: The human immune system has evolved to interact with various commensal and pathogenic bacteria in intricate and nuanced ways. While the diversity of bacteria presents fundamental challenges in understanding immune-microbe interactions, it also offers ample opportunities for developing effective immunomodulatory therapies. We introduce microbial product cocktails as a novel class of immunotherapy for cancer. Using freshly resected tumors from bladder cancer patients, an immuno-comparative analysis of recruitment and enhancement assay, and an AI-guided optimization workflow, we established a personalized platform for identifying potent MPCs that promote recruitment, infiltration, and activation of immune cells for cancer treatment. In an orthotopic mouse bladder cancer model, MPCs demonstrated immunoenhancement and improved survival rates compared with standard bacillus Calmette–Guérin immunotherapy.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Metabolome and exposome profiling of the biospecimens from COVID-19 patients in India (Blood plasma assay)'.
Answer: INTRODUCTION: COVID-19 has become a global impediment by bringing everything to a halt starting from January 2020. India underwent the lockdown starting from 22nd March 2020 with the sudden spike in the number of COVID-19 patients in major cities and states. This study focused on how metabolites play a crucial role in SARSCoV-2 prognosis.MATERIALS AND METHODS: Metabolome profiling of 106 plasma samples and 24 swab samples from symptomatic patients in the Indian population of the Mumbai region was done. COVID-19 positive samples were further segregated under the non-severe COVID-19 and severe COVID-19 patient cohort for both plasma and swab.RESULTS: After analyzing the raw files, total 7,949 and 12,871 metabolites in plasma and swab were found. 11 and 35 significantly altered metabolites were found in COVID-19 positive compared to COVID-19 negative plasma and swab samples, respectively. Also, 9 and 23 significantly altered metabolites were found in severe COVID-19 positive to non-severe COVID-19 positive plasma and swab samples, respectively. The majorly affected pathways in COVID-19 patients were found to be the amino acid metabolism pathway, sphingosine metabolism pathway, and bile salt metabolism pathway.CONCLUSION: This study facilitates identification of potential metabolite-based biomarker candidates for rapid diagnosis and prognosis for clinical applications.Blood plasma assay is reported in the current study MTBLS2291.Nasopharyngeal swab assay is reported in MTBLS2349.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Mitochondrial Transplantation Ameliorates Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction via Activating Glutamine Metabolism'.
Answer: Doxorubicin is a wildly used effective anticancer agent. However, doxorubicin use is also related to cardiotoxic side effect in some patients. Mitochondrial damage has been shown to be one of the pathogeneses of doxorubicin-induced myocardial injury. In this study, we test the hypothesis that mitochondrial transplantation might be a therapeutic strategy to prevent and ameliorate doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. We demonstrated the deleterious effects of doxorubicin on mitochondrial structure and function in cardiomyocytes both in vitro and in vivo. Mitochondrial transplantation could inhibit doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by directly supplying functional mitochondria. In vitro, mitochondrial transplantation improved contractile function and respiratory capacity, reduced cellular apoptosis and oxidative stress in cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria isolated from various sources, including mouse hearts, mouse and human arterial blood, and human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), all exerted similar cardioprotective effects. Mechanically, mitochondrial transplantation activates glutamine metabolism in doxorubicin-treated cardiomyocytes and blocking glutamine metabolism attenuated the cardioprotective effects of mitochondrial transplantation. Overall, our study demonstrates that mitochondria isolated from arterial blood could be used for mitochondrial transplantation, which might serve as a feasible promising therapeutic option for patients with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'A large-scale metabolomics study to harness chemical diversity and explore biochemical mechanisms in ryegrass (UPLC-MS HILIC NEG assay)'.
Answer: "Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) is integral to temperate pastoral agriculture, which contributes most of the milk and meat production worldwide. Chemical profiles and diversity of ryegrass offer several opportunities to harness specific traits and elucidate underlying biological mechanisms for forage improvement. We conducted a large-scale metabolomics study of perennial ryegrass comprising 715 genotypes, representing 118 populations from 21 countries. Liquid/gas chromatography-mass spectrometry based targeted and non-targeted techniques were used to analyse fructan oligosaccharides, lipids, fatty acid methyl esters, polar and semi-polar compounds. Fructan diversity across all genotypes was evaluated, high- and low-sugar groups identified, and fructan accumulation mechanisms explored. Metabolites differentiating the two groups were characterised, modules and pathways they represent deduced, and finally, visualisation and interpretation provided in a biological context. We also demonstrate a workflow for large-scale metabolomics studies from raw data through to statistical and pathway analysis.  UPLC-MS HILIC NEG assay is reported in the current study MTBLS63. UPLC-MS HILIC POS assay is reported in MTBLS62. UPLC-MS C18 reverse phase POS assay is reported in MTBLS64. UPLC-MS C18 reverse phase NEG assay is reported in MTBLS65.

HPLC-MS Hypercarb reverse phase NEG assay is reported in MTBLS529."
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Characteristics of myocardial structure and central carbon metabolism during the early and compensatory stages of cardiac hypertrophy'.
Answer: Cardiac hypertrophy is a classical forerunner of heart failure and myocardial structural and metabolic remodeling are closely associated with cardiac hypertrophy. We aim to investigate the characteristics of myocardial structure and central carbon metabolism of cardiac hypertrophy at different stages. Using echocardiography and pathological staining, early and compensatory cardiac hypertrophy were respectively defined as within 7 days and from 7 to 14 days after transverse aortic constriction (TAC) in mice. Among mass-spectrometry-based metabolomics, we identified 45 central carbon metabolites. Differential metabolite analysis showed that six metabolites, including citrate, cis-aconitate and so on, decreased significantly on day 1 after TAC. Ten metabolites, including L-lactate, (S)-2-hydroxyglutarate and so on, were obviously changed on days 10 and 14. Pathway analysis showed that these metabolites were involved in seven metabolic pathways, including carbohydrates, amino acids and so on. Western blot showed the expression of ATP-citrate lyase, malate dehydrogenase 1 and lactate dehydrogenase A in myocardium changed markedly on day 3, while the phosphorylation level of AMP-activated protein kinase did not show significantly difference. Our study reveals the characteristics of myocardial structure and central carbon metabolism of cardiac hypertrophy at different stages, which may have a suggestive role in the early diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'ATF6 activation alters colonic lipid metabolism causing tumor-associated microbial adaptation'.
Answer: The induction of endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein responses (UPRER) contributes to cancer development and progression. We recently linked microbiota-related triggers to the tumor-promoting role of signal transducer activating transcription factor 6 (ATF6) in the colon. Here we substantiate the clinical relevance of ATF6 and related bacterial genera in colorectal cancer patient cohorts. Spatial and longitudinal bacterial profiling in ATF6 transgenic mice (nATF6IEC) identified tumor-initiating and tumor-progressing shifts in the mucosa-associated microbiota. Transcriptional analysis in intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) of germ-free and specific pathogen-free nATF6IEC mice defined bacteria-specific changes in cellular metabolism enriched for fatty acid biosynthesis. Untargeted metabolomics, isotope-labeling in intestinal organoids and FASN inhibition confirmed ATF6-mediated involvement of long-chain fatty acids in tumorigenesis. Multi-omics data integration identified a bacteria-lipid network characterized by fatty acid efflux, catabolism and detoxification. We postulate chronic ATF6 signaling to drive a clinically relevant pathologic response altering lipid metabolism to select for a tumor-promoting microbiota.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Aberrant L-Fucose accumulation and increased core fucosylation are metabolic liabilities in mesenchymal glioblastoma (Stem cell and cell line assays)'.
Answer: Glioblastoma (GBM) is a common and deadly form of brain tumor in adults. Dysregulated metabolism in GBM offers an opportunity to deploy metabolic interventions as precise therapeutic strategies. To identify the molecular drivers and the modalities by which different molecular subgroups of GBM exploit metabolic rewiring to sustain tumor progression, we interrogated the transcriptome, the metabolome, and the glycoproteome of human subgroup-specific GBM sphere-forming cells (GSC). L-fucose abundance and core fucosylation activation were elevated in mesenchymal (MES) compared with proneural GSCs; this pattern was retained in subgroup-specific xenografts and in subgroup-affiliated human patient samples. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of core fucosylation significantly reduced tumor growth in MES GBM preclinical models. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based glycoproteomic screening indicated that most MES-restricted core-fucosylated proteins are involved in therapeutically relevant GBM pathological processes, such as extracellular matrix interaction, cell adhesion, and integrin-mediated signaling. Selective L-fucose accumulation in MES GBMs was observed using preclinical minimally invasive PET, implicating this metabolite as a potential subgroup-restricted biomarker.Overall, these findings indicate that L-fucose pathway activation in MES GBM is a subgroup-specific dependency that could provide diagnostic markers and actionable therapeutic targets.SIGNIFICANCE: Metabolic characterization of subgroup-specific glioblastoma (GBM) sphere-forming cells identifies the L-fucose pathway as a vulnerability restricted to mesenchymal GBM, disclosing a potential precision medicine strategy for targeting cancer metabolism.Stem cell and cell line assays are reported in the current study MTBLS4708.Xenograft assays are reported in MTBLS730.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Resting natural killer cell homeostasis relies on tryptophan/NAD+ metabolism and HIF-1α'.
Answer: Natural killer (NK) cells are forced to cope with different oxygen environments even under resting conditions. The adaptation to low oxygen is regulated by oxygen-sensitive transcription factors, the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs). The function of HIFs for NK cell activation and metabolic rewiring remains controversial. Activated NK cells are predominantly glycolytic, but the metabolic programs that ensure the maintenance of resting NK cells are enigmatic. By combining in situ metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses in resting murine NK cells, our study defines HIF-1a as a regulator of tryptophan metabolism and cellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) levels. The HIF-1a/NAD+ axis prevents ROS production during oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) and thereby blocks DNA damage and NK cell apoptosis under steadystate conditions. In contrast, in activated NK cells under hypoxia, HIF-1a is required for glycolysis, and forced HIF-1a expression boosts glycolysis and NK cell performance in vitro and in vivo. Our data highlight two distinct pathways by which HIF-1a interferes with NK cell metabolism. While HIF-1a-driven glycolysis is essential for NK cell activation, resting NK cell homeostasis relies on HIF-1a-dependent tryptophan/NAD+ metabolism.Linked cross omic data sets:RNA-seq data associated with this study are available in ArrayExpress (BioStudies): accession E-MTAB-12082.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Connecting structure and function from organisms to molecules in small-animal symbioses through chemo-histo-tomography'.
Answer: Our understanding of metabolic interactions between small symbiotic animals and bacteria or parasitic eukaryotes that reside within their bodies is extremely limited. This gap in knowledge originates from a methodological challenge, namely to connect histological changes in host tissues induced by beneficial and parasitic (micro)organisms to the underlying metabolites. We addressed this challenge and developed chemo-histo-tomography (CHEMHIST), a culture-independent approach to connect anatomic structure and metabolic function in millimeter-sized symbiotic animals. CHEMHIST combines chemical imaging of metabolites based on mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) and microanatomy-based micro-computed X-ray tomography (micro-CT) on the same animal. Both high-resolution MSI and micro-CT allowed us to correlate the distribution of metabolites to the same animal's three-dimensional (3D) histology down to submicrometer resolutions. Our protocol is compatible with tissue-specific DNA sequencing and fluorescence in situ hybridization for the taxonomic identification and localization of the associated micro(organisms). Building CHEMHIST upon in situ imaging, we sampled an earthworm from its natural habitat and created an interactive 3D model of its physical and chemical interactions with bacteria and parasitic nematodes in its tissues. Combining MSI and micro-CT, we present a methodological groundwork for connecting metabolic and anatomic phenotypes of small symbiotic animals that often represent keystone species for ecosystem functioning.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'A multi-omic profiles of fruits regarding the maturation of Olive (Olea europaea L.) (Polyphenols UPLC-MS assay)'.
Answer: "Olive (Olea europaea) has a long history of medicinal and nutritional values own to it rich in polyphenol and fatty acids (FAs) in fruits. In order to better understand the biosynthesis important of these metabolites, we generated comprehensive Iso-Seq full-length and illumina RNA-seq transcriptome, and targeted metabolomics dataset of different olive fruits maturity. The targeted metabolomics by using both GC/MS and LC/MS were totally quantified 35 FAs and 13 polyphenols. Iso-Seq library was constructed and sequenced by PacBio Sequel System, and a total of 5,891,652 (10.55 G) with an average length of 1,791 subreads were obtained. 492,350 circular consensus sequences (CCSs) were formed after merging and error correction through subread comparison. Of the 492,350 CCSs, 399,263 were found to be full-length non chimera (FLNC) reads, and 187,517 consensus reads were finally obtained by using clustering algorithm of Iterative clustering for error (IEC). These multiomics data provide a foundation to elucidate the mechanisms regulating biosynthesis of polyphenol and FAs during the maturation of olive fruits.Polyphenols UPLC-MS protocols and data are reported in the current study MTBLS814.GC-MS protocols and data associated to this study are reported in MTBLS855.Tyrosol only UPLC-MS protocols and data associated to this study are reported in MTBLS1127."
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Impact of low-calorie sweeteners on gut bacteria is modulated by commonly used xenobiotics'.
Answer: The gut microbiota is implicated in adverse effects associated with low-calorie sweeteners. Yet, the direct impact of sweeteners on gut bacteria has not been systematically assessed. Here we report interactions between 25 phylogenetically diverse gut bacterial strains and 39 commercially used sweeteners. We tested these sweeteners individually and in combination with four commonly co-consumed compounds, viz., advantame, caffeine, vanillin, and duloxetine. Three quarters of the sweeteners individually impacted growth of at least one bacterial strain. Further, >100 interactions were found between sweeteners and the four co-consumed compounds. Isosteviol, a commonly used sweetener, and duloxetine, an antidepressant, synergistically inhibited Roseburia intestinalis, a bacterium linked to glucose homeostasis, and Parabacteroides merdae, a prevalent commensal linked to healthy microbiota. Proteomic, metabolomic, and genetic analyses indicate altered small molecule transport underpinning this sweetener-drug synergy. The isosteviol-duloxetine combination also modulated metabolism of a synthetic gut bacterial community leading to increased toxicity to HeLa cells and altered secretion of inflammation modulatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 by Caco-2 cells. Our data provides a mechanistic basis for sweetener-gut bacteria interaction and warrants considering their interaction with drugs in side-effect assessments.
Question: Write a study description for the study titled 'Different carboxyl‐rich alicyclic molecules proxy compounds select distinct bacterioplankton for oxidation of dissolved organic matter in the mesopelagic Sargasso Sea'.
Answer: Marine dissolved organic matter (DOM) varies in its recalcitrance to rapid microbial degradation. DOM of varying recalcitrance can be exported from the ocean surface to depth by subduction or convective mixing and oxidized over months to decades in deeper seawater. Carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecules (CRAM) are characterized as a major component of recalcitrant DOM throughout the oceanic water column. The oxidation of CRAM-like compounds may depend on specific bacterioplankton lineages with oxidative enzymes capable of catabolizing complex molecular structures like long-chain aliphatics, cyclic alkanes, and carboxylic acids. To investigate the interaction between bacteria and CRAM-like compounds, we conducted microbial remineralization experiments using several compounds rich in carboxyl groups and/or alicyclic rings, including deoxycholate, humic acid, lignin, and benzoic acid, as proxies for CRAM. Mesopelagic seawater (200 m) from the northwest Sargasso Sea was used as media and inoculum and incubated over 28 days. All amendments demonstrated significant DOC removal (2 – 11 µmol C L-1) compared to controls. Bacterioplankton abundance increased significantly in the deoxycholate and benzoic acid treatments relative to controls, with fast-growing Spongiibacteracea, Euryarcheaota, and slow-growing SAR11 enriched in the deoxycholate treatment and fast-growing Alteromonas, Euryarcheaota, and Thaumarcheaota enriched in the benzoic acid treatment. In contrast, bacterioplankton grew slower in the lignin and humic acid treatments, with oligotrophic SAR202 becoming significantly enriched in the lignin treatment. Our results indicate that the character of the CRAM proxy compounds resulted in distinct bacterioplankton removal rates and affected specific lineages of bacterioplankton capable of responding.
