Samples were extracted by protein precipitation and separated on a Hypersil GOLD aQ column with methanol and 2 mM ammonium acetate in water containing 0.1 % formic acid as mobile phase.

All pieces successively underwent OLE-LC–Qtof-MS measurements. As a result, 46 and 41 metabolites were observed and identified from FV and JN petals, respectively. Particularly, each compound corresponded to a chromatographic peak and isomeric differentiation was achieved amongst a set of chlorogenic acid derivatives. The peak areas of high intensity metabolites were aligned and combined within either species. The datasets were individually converted into heatmaps for all compounds, 87 ones in total, and each grid of any heatmap was assigned to the original location in the petal. Then, the spatial-resolved distribution style of each compound crossing the petal was reflected by the re-organized heatmap bearing the petal shape. As expected, regio-specific occurrence and accumulation were observed for several compounds, particularly among the chlorogenic acid isomers.

In the present study, the integrated analysis of network pharmacology, 16S rRNA sequencing, and non-targeted lipidomics was performed to explore the anti-DKD effects of QKG and the underlying mechanisms in <em>db/db</em> mouse DKD model. The results of the network pharmacology analysis identified the PI3K-AKT, EGFR, MAPK, JAK-STAT, FoxO, and AGE-RAGE signaling pathways as the potential molecular mechanisms responsible for the efficacy of QKG. Importantly, these signaling pathways were found to be closely related to lipid metabolism and gut microbiota. The therapeutic effectiveness of QKG against DKD was manifested by reducing body weight, alleviating oxidative stress, improving kidney function indicators, promoting the recovery of renal histopathological damage, and regulating the lipid metabolic profile of serum and kidney in <em>db/db</em> mice. A total of 26 lipid metabolites were identified as potential pharmacological biomarkers (PPBs) of QKG for the treatment of DKD, which were mainly involved in glycerophospholipid metabolism. Meanwhile, QKG could alleviate DKD-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis primarily by enriching <em>Candidatus_Arthromitus,</em> which showed a negative correlation with all 26 lipid PPBs as well as 5 biochemical parameters, including 2 oxidative stress factors and 3 kidney function indices. In conclusion, our findings suggest that QKG may upregulate the gut level of <em>Candidatus_Arthromitus</em> to suppress the abnormal activation of PI3K-AKT related signaling pathway, thereby reducing the levels of PC and LPC in the glycerophospholipid metabolism, to finally ameliorate the progression of DKD in <em>db/db</em> mice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":348,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chromatography B","volume":"1250 ","pages":"Article 124378"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142694895","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}
