- Example 1 Urinary metabolic phenotvpes of autistic and non-autistic siblings and age-matched normal children Summary
- Autism is an early-onset developmental disorder with severe life long impact on behavior and social functioning.
- Clear metabolic phenotype metalabotype differences were observed between autistic and controls, which were associated with perturbation in urinary mammalian-microbial co-metabolites including dimethylamine, hippurate and phenyacetylglutamine (PAG).
- ASD Autism spectrum disorders
- ASD Autism spectrum disorders
- ASD typically develop during the first 3 years of life and are characterized by a myriad of deficits in language/communication skills, and socially detached as well as repetitive and stereotypic behaviours.
- the etiopathology of ASD is multi-factorial and has been linked to genetic abnormalities such as fragile X syndrome, inborn errors of metabolism but there are many possible, but largely ill-defined, triggers including infectious agents and environmental toxins.
- Various abnormalities in immunological function and gastrointestinal disturbances are also involved in ASD though their etiological significance is unknown.
- Clostridia can produce powerful neurotoxins, and these have been implicated in ASDs with certain Clostridial species being found to be specific to autistic individuals (not present in normal children).
- Clostridial species are found to be specific to autistic individuals (not present in normal children).
- the faecal flora of ASD individuals have been found to contain higher numbers of Clostridium histolyticum group of bacteria as compared to healthy children and their non-autistic siblings were found to have intermediate levels of the same group of bacteria indicating the importance of gastrointestinal microbiota compositions in ASD.
- Individuals with ASD has also been shown to have abnormal sulfur metabolism.
- Waring et al showed that individuals with autism have lower levels of plasma sulfate but higher levels of urinary sulfate as compared to normal individuals, indicating that autistic individuals suffer from a deficiency in detoxification involving sulfation as evidenced by their inability to sulfate paracetamol[11].
- Metabonomic technologies offer the possibility of measuring the metabolic end points (metabolic profiles) that are determined by host genetic and environmental factors, and enable possible identification of metabolites that could be indicative of ASD.
- These high throughput metabolic profiling methods using high resolution spectroscopic platforms (NMR and/or mass spectrometry (MS)) with subsequent multivariate statistical analyses is a well-established strategy for differential metabolic pathway profiling and disease diagnosis.
- NMR nuclear magnetic resonance
- MS mass spectrometry
- Urine samples were prepared by mixing 400 ⁇ l of urine with 220 ⁇ l of a phosphate buffer (90% D 2 O, 1 mM 3-trimethylsilyl-1-[2,2,3,3- 2 H4] propionate (TSP), and 3 mM sodium azide; pH 7.4) and left to stand for 10 min. The samples were centrifuged at 11000 g for 10 min and 600 ⁇ l of the supematants were then transferred into 5 mm (outer diameter) NMR tubes.
- a phosphate buffer 90% D 2 O, 1 mM 3-trimethylsilyl-1-[2,2,3,3- 2 H4] propionate (TSP), and 3 mM sodium azide; pH 7.4
- Spectra were obtained on a Bruker DRX600 spectrometer (Bruker Biospin; Rheinstetten, Germany) at 600.13 MHz (ambient probe temperature 27°C).
- a standard 1 -dimensional (1 D) pulse sequence was used [recycle delay (RD)-90°-f 1 -90 o -f m -90°-acquire free induction decay (FID)].
- the water signal was suppressed by irradiation during RD of 2 s, and mixing time (t m ) of 150 ms.
- t ⁇ was set to 3 ⁇ s and the 90° pulse length was adjusted to ⁇ 10 ⁇ s.
- 1 H NMR spectra of urine samples were manually phased and baseline corrected using XwinNMR 3.5 (Bruker Biospin; Rheinstetten, Germany). The 1 H NMR spectra were referenced to the TSP resonance at ⁇ 0.0. The spectra were digitized using a MATLAB (version 7, The Mathworks Inc.; Natwick, MA, USA) script developed in-house. The regions containing the water and urea resonances were removed from each spectrum to eliminate baseline effects of imperfect water saturation. For each spectrum, recursive peak alignment algorithm [23] was applied to minimize spectral peak shift due to residual pH differences within samples prior to normalization to the total sum of the residual spectrum and pattern recognition analyses.
- Principal component analysis was applied to the unit variance (UV)-scaled spectral data to reveal intrinsic illness-related patterns within the data.
- Projection to latent structure discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) with UV-scaled spectral data was also carried out in order to improve classification of the different groups of individuals as well as to identify changes in urinary metabolites that are unique to a particular group.
- Permutation testing 200 permutations was performed on the PLS-DA models to ensure statistical model validity. Inter-individual variation can confound data interpretation, particularly in multivariate data of high dimensionality.
- orthogonal-projection to latent structure discriminant analysis [24] was performed on UV-scaled spectral data in a MATLAB environment to optimally model class differences and to systematically identify metabolites contributing to the differences between autistic, siblings and control groups.
- the O-PLS-DA method decomposes the variation in X (NMR data) into 3 parts; the first being the variation in X related to Y (the class variable), and the last 2 containing the specific systemic variation in X and residual, respectively.
- the contribution of each metabolite to sample classification is interpreted using the O-PLS coefficients with back-scaling transformation.
- the colors projected onto the spectrum indicate the correlation of the metabolites discriminating autistic and siblings from the corresponding controls. Red indicates a high correlation and blue denotes no correlation with sample class.
- the direction and magnitude of the signals relate to the covariation of the metabolites with the classes in the model.
- Typical urinary 600 MHz 1 H NMR median spectra of individuals from the 3 groups consist of a wide range of low-molecular-weight metabolites of diverse chemical classes (typically ⁇ 1 kDa) from both mammalian and associated gut-microbial metabolism.
- the urinary NMR spectra are dominated by dietary and microbial-derived methylamines (dimethylamine (DMA), trimethylamine ⁇ /-oxide (TMAO)) and phenolics such as hippurate and phenylacetylglutamine (PAG) ( Figure 1).
- mammalian metabolites such as citrate, succinate, creatinine, lactate, ⁇ -hydroxyisobutyrate and amino acids (alanine, glutamine and glycine) are also excreted.
- urinary spectra were very similar with the autistic individuals showing subtle differences in urinary succinate, ⁇ /-methyl nicotinic acid (NMNA) and N-methyl nicotinamide (NMND) as compared to the controls ( Figure 1).
- the NMR aromatic spectral region of both the ASDs and siblings are very similar to those of the controls. Metabolic differences within the cohort.
- pattern recognition analyses were employed on the data set to extract useful metabolic information.
- the corresponding coefficients plot indicated differences in the urinary metabolic profile between the two groups with the autistics showing higher levels of urinary acetate, DMA, ⁇ /-acetyl glycoproteins (NAG), glycine, succinate, alanine, taurine, formate, inosine, NMNA, NMND and ⁇ /-methyl-4-pyridone-3-carboxamide (4PY), whilst the healthy controls showing higher levels of urinary glutamate, hippurate and PAG.
- NAG ⁇ /-acetyl glycoproteins
- urinary ammo acids alanine and glycine were found to be elevated in autistic individuals as compared to the controls Several studies have shown that children with ASD often suffer from dysregulated amino acid metabolism [34,35] In addition, Rolf et al reported that platelet serotonin was significantly increased and amino acids aspartic acid, glutamine, glutamic acid and ⁇ -aminobuty ⁇ c acid were significantly decreased in autistic individuals as compared to the controls [36] This is in agreement with our current finding where urinary glutamate was found to be lower in autistic group.
- NMNA nicotinic acid
- NMND nicotinic acid
- Nicotinamide is the amide derivative of nicotinic acid, which is involved in the tryptophan-NAD pathway that supplies pyridine nucleotides to the liver.
- Nicotinamide is metabolized to NMND via nicotinamide N-methyltransferase and subsequently to 2PY and 4PY via the action of aldehyde oxidase.
- both 4PY and NMNA has been suggested as potential markers of peroxisome proliferation.
- the changes in urinary 4PY, NMNA and NMND observed in the current study suggested possible perturbation of nicotinic acid metabolism in autistic individuals.
