Recent work has explored the multiway structure of time-resolved metabolomics data by arranging it as a three-way array with modes: <i>subjects</i>, <i>metabolites</i>, and <i>time</i>. The analysis of such dynamic data (where the fasting data is subtracted from postprandial states) reveals dynamic markers of various phenotypes, and differences between fasting and dynamic states. However, there is still limited success in terms of extracting static and dynamic biomarkers for the same subject stratifications.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Objectives</h3><p>Through joint analysis of fasting and dynamic metabolomics data, our goal is to capture static and dynamic biomarkers of a phenotype for the same subject stratifications providing a complete picture, that will be more effective for precision health.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Methods</h3><p>We jointly analyze fasting and dynamic metabolomics data collected during a meal challenge test from the COPSAC<span>(_{2000})</span> cohort using coupled matrix and tensor factorizations (CMTF), where the dynamic data (<i>subjects</i> by <i>metabolites</i> by <i>time</i>) is coupled with the fasting data (<i>subjects</i> by <i>metabolites</i>) in the <i>subjects</i> mode.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Results</h3><p>The proposed data fusion approach extracts shared subject stratifications in terms of BMI (body mass index) from fasting and dynamic signals as well as the static and dynamic metabolic biomarker patterns corresponding to those stratifications. Specifically, we observe a subject stratification showing the positive association with all fasting VLDLs and higher BMI. For the same subject stratification, a subset of dynamic VLDLs (mainly the smaller sizes) correlates negatively with higher BMI. Higher correlations of the subject quantifications with the phenotype of interest are observed using such a data fusion approach compared to individual analyses of the fasting and postprandial state.</p><h3 data-test=\"abstract-sub-heading\">Conclusion</h3><p>The CMTF-based approach provides a complete picture of static and dynamic biomarkers for the same subject stratifications—when markers are present in both fasting and dynamic states.</p>","PeriodicalId":18506,"journal":{"name":"Metabolomics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141770601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
