Abstract
Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory dermatosis. However, the exact molecular mechanism underlying the development of AD remain largely unclear.
Objective: To investigate comprehensive metabolomic alterations in serum and skin tissue between 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced AD-like mice and healthy controls, aiming to identify the potential disease biomarkers and explore the molecular mechanisms of AD.
Methods: In this study, Untargeted metabolomics analysis was used to investigate both skin and serum metabolic abnormalities of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-induced AD-like mice. Then, the metabolic differences among the groups were determined through the application of multivariate analysis. Additionally, the selection of predictive biomarkers was accomplished using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) module.
Results: Our findings showed that levels of 220 metabolites in the skin and 94 metabolites in the serum were different in AD-like mice that were treated with DNFB compared to control mice. Uracil, N-Acetyl-L-methionine, deoxyadenosine monophoosphate, 2-acetyl-l-alkyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphcholine, and prostaglandin D2 are considered potential biomarkers of AD as obtained by integrating skin and serum differential metabolite results. Metabolomic data analysis showed that the metabolic pathways in which skin and serum are involved together include histidine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism.
Conclusion: Our research explained the possible molecular mechanism of AD at the metabolite level and provided potential targets for the development of clinical drugs for AD.
期刊介绍:
Metabolomics publishes current research regarding the development of technology platforms for metabolomics. This includes, but is not limited to:
metabolomic applications within man, including pre-clinical and clinical
pharmacometabolomics for precision medicine
metabolic profiling and fingerprinting
metabolite target analysis
metabolomic applications within animals, plants and microbes
transcriptomics and proteomics in systems biology
Metabolomics is an indispensable platform for researchers using new post-genomics approaches, to discover networks and interactions between metabolites, pharmaceuticals, SNPs, proteins and more. Its articles go beyond the genome and metabolome, by including original clinical study material together with big data from new emerging technologies.
