Drug metabolite cluster centers-based strategy for comprehensive profiling of Neomangiferin metabolites in vivo and in vitro and network pharmacology study on anti-inflammatory mechanism

Neomangiferin (NMF) is an extremely special xanthone that could be simultaneously attributed to C-glycoside and O-glycoside with a variety of biological activities, such as anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antipyretic, and so on. So far as we know, the metabolism profiling has been insufficient until now. Herein, Drug Metabolite Cluster Centers (DMCCs)-based Strategy has been developed to profile the NMF metabolites in vivo and in vitro. Firstly, the DMCCs was proposed depending on literature-related and preliminary analysis results. Secondly, the specific metabolic rule was implemented to screen the metabolites of candidate DMCCs from the acquired Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Exactive Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS) data by extracted ion chromatography (EIC) method. Thirdly, candidate metabolites were accurately and tentatively identified according to the pyrolysis law of mass spectrometry, literature reports, comparison of reference substances, and especially the diagnostic product ions (DPIs) deduced preliminarily. Finally, network pharmacology was adopted to elucidate the anti-inflammatory action mechanism of NMF on the basis of DMCCs. As a result, 3 critical metabolites including NMF, Mangiferin (MF) and Norathyriol (NA) were proposed as DMCCs, and a total of 61 NMF metabolites (NMF included) were finally screened and characterized coupled with 3 different biological sample preparation methods including solid phase extraction (SPE), acetonitrile precipitation and methanol precipitation. Among them, 32 metabolites were discovered in rat urine, 30 in rat plasma, 12 in rat liver, 9 metabolites in liver microsomes and 8 in rat faeces, respectively. Our results also illustrated that NMF primarily underwent deglucosylation, glucuronidation, methylation, sulfation, dihydroxylation and their composite reactions in vivo and in vitro. Additionally, network pharmacology analysis based on DMCCs revealed 85 common targets of disease-metabolites, and the key targets were TNF, EGFR, ESR1, PTGS2, HIF1A, IL-2, PRKCA and PRKCB. They exerted anti-inflammatory effects mainly through the pathways of inflammatory response, calcium-dependent protein kinase C activity, nitrogen metabolism, pathways in cancer and so on. In general, our study constructed a novel strategy to comprehensive elucidate the biotransformation pathways of NMF in vivo and in vitro, and provided vital reference for further understanding its anti-inflammatory action mechanism. Moreover, the established strategy could be generalized to the metabolism and action mechanism study of other natural products.     

Thermostability of landscape phage probes

Immunoassays have traditionally relied on antibodies as diagnostic probes. Their use outside of a laboratory, however, may be problematic because antibodies are often unstable in severe environmental conditions. Environmental monitoring requires thermostable probes, such as landscape phage, that carry thousands of foreign peptides on their surfaces, are superior to antibodies, and can operate in non-controlled conditions. While parent wild-type phage are known to be extremely stable in various media at high temperatures, no work has been done to demonstrate the stability of landscape phage probes. We examined the thermostability of a landscape phage probe and a monoclonal antibody specific for -galactosidase in parallel in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) format. They were both stable for greater than six months at room temperature, but at higher temperatures the antibody degraded more rapidly than the phage probe. Phage retained detectable binding ability for more than six weeks at 63 °C, and three days at 76 °C. The activation energy of phage degradation was determined to be 1.34×10⁵ J/mol. These results confirm that phage probes are highly thermostable and can function even after exposure to high temperatures during shipping, storage and operation.     

Downstream evolution of junction flow three-component velocity fluctuations through the lens of the diagnostic plot

Experimental measurements of the streamwise and transverse velocity components have been acquired in three spanwise/wall-normal planes in the wakes of both a streamlined ‘wing’ and a bluff ‘wing’ junction. The ‘extended’ diagnostic plot introduced by Alfredsson et al. (2011) (see figure 3 therein) is used as a benchmark to locally evaluate the departure of turbulent wing-body junction flow wakes from ‘equilibrium’ boundary layers. Both obstacles produce a secondary flow of Prandtl’s first kind, which disrupts the equilibrium implied by the universality of the extended diagnostic plot. The plane wake of the obstacle itself (away from the junction) also disrupts this equilibrium. It is found that with downstream development the boundary layer eventually recovers to the base zero-pressure-gradient ‘equilibrium’, and that this recovery process emanates from the near-wall region. The transverse velocity components are also examined in “extended diagnostic” form, revealing that the wall-normal fluctuations recover to the zero-pressure-gradient case near the wall more rapidly than the wall-parallel components.     

Selecting a reduced suite of diagnostic ratios calculated between petroleum biomarkers and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to characterize a set of crude oils

A set of 34 crude oils was analysed by GC-MS (SIM mode) and a suite of 28 diagnostic ratios (DR) calculated. They involved 18 ratios between biomarker molecules (hopanes, steranes, diasteranes and triaromatic steroids) and 10 quotients between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Three unsupervised pattern recognition techniques (i.e., principal components analysis, heatmap hierarchical cluster analysis and Kohonen neural networks) were employed to evaluate the final dataset and, thus, ascertain whether the crude oils grouped as a function of their geographical origin. In addition, an objective variable selection procedure based on Procrustes Rotation was undertaken to select a reduced set of DR that comprised for most of the information in the original data without loosing relevant information. A reduced set of four DR (namely; TA21, D2/P2, D3/P3 and B(a)F/4-Mpy) demonstrated to be sufficient to characterize the crude oils and the groups they formed.     

A multiplex single nucleotide polymorphism genotyping method using ligase‐based mismatch discrimination and CE‐SSCP

Accuracy, simplicity, and cost‐effectiveness are the most important criteria for a genotyping method for SNPs compatible with clinical use. One method developed for SNP genotyping, ligase‐based discrimination, is considered the simplest for clinical diagnosis. However, multiplex assays using this method are limited by the detection method. Although CE has been introduced as an alternative to error prone microarray‐based detection, the design process and multiplex assay procedure are complicated because of the DNA size‐dependent separation principle. In this study, we developed a simple and accurate multiplex genotyping method using reaction condition‐optimized ligation and high‐resolution CE‐based SSCP. With this high‐resolution CE‐SSCP system, we are able to use similar‐sized probes, thereby eliminating the complex probe design step and simplifying the optimization process. We found that this method could accurately discriminate single‐base mismatches in SNPs of the tp53 gene, used as targets for multiplex detection.

Predictive values instead of normal ranges: less data, more information

Diagnostic strategies can have various goals at two levels: to facilitate the diagnostic process on the cognitive level, and to serve considerations on the level of the doctor–patient relationship. Requests for laboratory tests could be intended to exclude a disease or to affirm the presence of disease. Thirdly, tactical motives to smoothen the negotiations between doctor and patient probably seem to be important as well. These three intentions differ in prior probability, should lead to different sets of tests, and to different interpretations. Even the cut-off points should differ. This leads to three different decision strategies, both at requesting, as at interpreting the results. Following this line of thought, post-test probabilities are more suitable than normal ranges. Excluding strategy: this is the most prevalent. However, the disadvantage of an excluding strategy (prior 1–5%) is a false-positive result. A positive test result should lead to follow-up by wait and see or by repeated testing. More extensive testing usually is not a very sensible strategy. In practice, physicians simply ignore slightly abnormal values. Mentally they put the cut-off points for normality more broader. The number of tests is small. Confirmative strategy: the disadvantage of a confirmative intention (prior 10–30%) is a false-negative result. Follow-up without testing, repeated testing, or even accepting marginal normal results as abnormal is a proper strategy. The number of tests is moderate to high. Tactical strategy: the tactical intention strategy to reassure the patient – or avoid referrals – could lead to ignoring all slightly positive test results by choosing a higher cut-off point. Actually, considering the usual insignificant diagnostic gain when testing for tactical reasons, all test results are clinically insignificant, unsuspected outliers excluded. Here, a very limited set of tests should be chosen. The laboratory test is the currency in mutual trading medical expectations and relationship considerations between doctor and patient. The number of tests is minimal. If the physician chooses a strategy, a limited range of prior probability is chosen. Then a possibly computerized algorithm produces a “Value (posterior probability)” as test result, replacing “Value (normal ranges)”. Thus one number less on the lab form, yielding more significant information.Presented at the 10th Conference Quality in the Spotlight, March 2005, Antwerp, Belgium     

Analyses of lepidopteran sex pheromones by mass spectrometry

Lepidoptera, including about 150,000 species in the world, comprise the second largest insect group, and sex pheromones have been identified from virgin female moths of more than 600 species. The chemical structures are simple, but diverse, because species-specific pheromones play an important role in the reproductive isolation of each species. The pheromone content in each female is quite low, and gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is most frequently utilized to reveal the chemical structure. Almost all pheromone components are straight-chain compounds and are classified into two major groups [i.e. unsaturated C₁₀-C₁₈ fatty alcohols and their derivatives (Type I) and C₁₇-C₂₃ polyenyl hydrocarbons and their epoxides (Type II)]. In addition to the unbranched compounds, some species secrete methyl-branched compounds (e.g., 2-ketones). For the identification of these compounds, determining the positions of the double bond, the epoxy ring, and the methyl group is an important key step. Copious spectral information measured by electron-impact ionization (70 eV) has been accumulated for these compounds. This review therefore deals with their spectral characteristics, namely, diagnostic ions, to apply them to pheromone studies on new target insects.
