In this study, a 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach was employed to distinguish between advanced-stage CKD (ASCKD) patients and healthy controls (HC), as well as within the ASCKD stages (stage 4 and stage 5). Serum samples from 52 ASCKD (S4, S5) and 25 HC were analyzed. Multivariate and univariate analysis revealed distinct metabolic patterns across groups, providing insights into CKD pathophysiology and associated pathway alterations. Compared to HC, six metabolites were significantly altered in both stage 4 and 5 CKD patients with upregulated creatinine, urea, myoinositol, choline, N,N-dimethylglycine, and downregulated tyrosine, showing potential as biomarkers with AUC above 0.8 in ROC analysis. Additionally, myo-inositol, dimethylamine, N,N-dimethylglycine, and choline correlate positively with creatinine while tyrosine correlates negatively. Amino acid metabolism was downregulated in S5 indicating more severity. Within ASCKD patients, significant alterations were observed in metabolites such as glutamate, glutamine, alanine, threonine, myo-inositol, dimethylamine, citrulline, urea, citrate, and betaine. Pathway analysis identified five distinct metabolic pathways associated with CKD progression. Consequently, we propose a panel of serum metabolites which should be monitored along with creatinine for following CKD progression. Markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and gut dysbiosis were evident in the perturbed metabolic profile due to the systemic impact of CKD.","PeriodicalId":19065,"journal":{"name":"Molecular omics","volume":" 5","pages":" 464-478"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144476114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our 2D-TPP study, transfected HEK293 cells for expression of MC3R were exposed to the three endogenous MC3R-ligands across several concentrations followed by incubation at several temperatures, centrifugation and LC–MS analysis of the resulting supernatants. This enabled us to assess the effects of type of ligand and concentration on the thermal stability of proteins in these cells. We employed a combination of multivariate analysis, differential expression, TPP and pathway analysis to deeply characterize the impact of MC3R activation on molecular mechanisms. All three ligands affected signaling pathways related to the immune system and energy homeostasis. While α-MSH significantly modulated the IL-6 pathway via STAT3, and γ-MSH prominently activated interferon signaling, ACTH uniquely affected NADPH-related proteins.

CRC is ranked as the third most common and second deadliest cancer worldwide. With rising life expectancy population growth, CRC incidence and mortality are projected to increase, particularly among individuals under 50. This underscores the need to improve early detection of CRC. Although colonoscopy remains the preferred diagnostic technique, due to its high sensitivity and specificity for CRC its invasive nature and cost result in low adherence rates. Consequently, the scientific community is actively exploring alternative diagnostic methods, primarily through biomarkers, molecules exhibiting dysregulated levels associated with specific diseases. Lipidomics has become crucial in cancer research, as lipids play key roles in metabolic pathways driving cancer development. Recent investigations have revealed decreased levels of lipid classes such as lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) in CRC patients compared to healthy controls, alongside an increase in specific sphingolipid species across multiple studies. In the context of CRC progression, triglycerides (TGs) stand out as the lipids that display the most pronounced differentiation among different disease stages. These lipid dysregulations present promising avenues for identifying potential therapeutic targets and innovative diagnostic methods, however, a comprehensive understanding of these processes requires further exploration.","PeriodicalId":19065,"journal":{"name":"Molecular omics","volume":" 5","pages":" 373-389"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlepdf/2025/mo/d5mo00045a?page=search","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Negative energy balance (NEB) often occurs in early lactation, but can also be due to food scarcity. Its quantification is difficult and prone to error, justifying the need to identify biomarkers instead. The effect of NEB on milk composition is known to be directly related to its intensity, impacting major and minor milk constituents. As such, one promising approach may be to identify non-invasive biomarkers in milk. To identify potential biomarkers of NEB, we performed an integrative multi-omic study of milk production and composition in two feed restriction trials of different lengths and intensities. Multivariate data integration using a redundancy analysis enabled an exploration of the linear relationships between variation in energy balance and milk production and composition. A highly correlated multi-omic signature of NEB was then identified using a multi-block partial least squares discriminant analysis. Early and late integration of data from the two feed restriction trials enabled the identification of a robust multi-omic panel of biomarkers of NEB. Taken together, these analyses showed that feed restrictions led to consistent decreases in milk yield, lactose content and uric acid concentration, as well as increased isocitrate and serotransferrin concentrations and differentially abundant microRNAs in both whole milk and milk fat globules. These findings are promising for the development of a panel of non-invasive biomarkers for monitoring animal energy status, and enhance our understanding of adaptations to NEB.","PeriodicalId":19065,"journal":{"name":"Molecular omics","volume":" 5","pages":" 433-445"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144216335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a non-targeted lipidomic approach using ion mobility combined with high resolution mass spectrometry was applied to clearly distinguish German strawberries from non-German strawberries. Using linear discriminant analysis (LDA), an accuracy of 90% was achieved. Furthermore, a detailed classification of strawberries from Central Europe (German, Dutch and Polish strawberries) as well as strawberries from Mediterranean regions (Spanish, Greek and Egyptian strawberries) was carried out with a classification accuracy of 74%. To further investigate the classification results, a total of 39 lipids were identified as relevant markers for German, Dutch and Polish strawberries as well as for Spanish, Greek and Egyptian strawberries using MS/MS measurements. A particular difficulty was the fact that the influence of climatic conditions on the metabolome is similar in countries that are geographically close to each other.

Cellular signalling pathways integrate soluble, mechanical (cytoskeleton, adhesion), and geometric (cell size, morphology) cues to regulate the translocation of YAP/TAZ to the nucleus. In triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, both signalling and morphogenesis are frequently rewired, leading to increased YAP/TAZ translocation, which drives proliferation, invasion, and drug resistance. However, whether this increased YAP/TAZ translocation is due to alterations in upstream signalling events or changes in cell morphology remains unclear. To gain insight into YAP/TAZ regulation in TNBC cells, we performed multiplexed quantitative genetic screens for YAP/TAZ localisation and cell shape, enabling us to determine whether changes in YAP/TAZ localisation following gene knockdown could be explained by alterations in cell morphology. These screens revealed that the focal adhesion (FA)-associated RhoGEF DOCK5 is essential for YAP/TAZ nuclear localisation in TNBC cells. DOCK5-defective cells exhibit defects in FA morphogenesis and fail to generate a stable, polarised leading edge, which we propose contributes to impaired YAP/TAZ translocation. Mechanistically, we implicate DOCK5's ability to act as a RacGEF and as a scaffold for NCK/AKT as key to its role in FA morphogenesis. Importantly, DOCK5 is essential for promoting the resistance of LM2 cells to the clinically used MEK inhibitor Binimetinib. Taken together, our findings suggest that DOCK5's role in TNBC cell shape determination drives YAP/TAZ upregulation and drug resistance.","PeriodicalId":19065,"journal":{"name":"Molecular omics","volume":" 5","pages":" 390-421"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2025-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12068046/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144004111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Network topology analyses revealed that the formed PPI network is biologically robust and scale-free, with significant interactions between proteins through 19 252 shortest pathways. In this network, the top 10 hub proteins (RAS1, CDC42, HOG1, CPH1, STE11, EFG1, CEK1, HSP90, TEC1 and CST20) were identified using network analysis, which seem to be the most important proteins involved in different pathways for the development of pathogenesis and virulence. Modular analysis of the network resulted in top six sub-networks, three of which shared eight hub proteins. Ontology and functional enrichment analyses revealed that the majority of the proteins were associated with regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II, plasma membrane and nucleic acid binding in biological processes, and cellular components and molecular functions, respectively. Enrichment analysis indicated that the proteins were mostly involved in oxidative phosphorylation and purine metabolism signaling pathways.
