Abstract
Central carbon metabolism pathway (CCM) is one of the most important metabolic pathways in all living organisms and play crucial function in aspect of organism life. However, the simultaneous detection of CCM intermediates remains challenging. Here, we developed a chemical isotope labeling combined with LC-MS method for simultaneous determination of CCM intermediates with high coverage and accuracy. By chemical derivatization with 2-(diazo-methyl)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-benzamide (2-DMBA) and d5-2-DMBA, all CCM intermediates obtain better separation and accurate quantification at a single LC-MS run. The obtained limits of detection of CCM intermediates ranged from 5 to 36 pg/mL. Using this method, we achieved simultaneous and accurate quantification of 22 CCM intermediates in different biological samples. Take account of the high detection sensitivity of the developed method, this method was further applied to the quantification of CCM intermediates at single-cell level. Finally, 21 CCM intermediates were detected in 1000 HEK-293T cells and 9 CCM intermediates were detected in mouse kidney glomeruli optical slice samples (10∼100 cells).

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis, is a relapsing and remitting disease of the gastrointestinal tract, presenting with chronic inflammation, ulceration, gastrointestinal bleeding, and abdominal pain. Up to 80% of patients suffering from IBD experience acute pain, which dissipates when the underlying inflammation and tissue damage resolves. However, despite achieving endoscopic remission with no signs of ongoing intestinal inflammation or damage, 30-50% of IBD patients in remission experience chronic abdominal pain, suggesting altered sensory neuronal processing in this disorder. Furthermore, effective treatment for chronic pain is limited such that 5-25% of IBD outpatients are treated with narcotics, with associated morbidity and mortality. IBD patients commonly present with substantial alterations to the microbial community structure within the gastrointestinal tract, known as dysbiosis. The same is also true in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a chronic disorder characterized by altered bowel habits and abdominal pain, in the absence of inflammation. An emerging body of literature suggests that the gut microbiome plays an important role in visceral hypersensitivity. Specific microbial metabolites have an intimate relationship with host receptors that are highly expressed on host cell and neurons, suggesting that microbial metabolites play a key role in visceral hypersensitivity. In this review, we will discuss the techniques used to analysis the metabolome, current potential metabolite targets for visceral hypersensitivity, and discuss the current literature that evaluates the role of the post-inflammatory microbiota and metabolites in visceral hypersensitivity.

Cardiomyocyte peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α is essential for energy metabolism and extracellular matrix homeostasis during pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling. Acta Pharmacol Sin 2022; 43:1231-1242.

Abstract
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα), a ligand-activated nuclear receptor critical for systemic lipid homeostasis, has been shown closely related to cardiac remodeling. However, the roles of cardiomyocyte PPARα in pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling remains unclear because of lacking a cardiomyocyte-specific Ppara-deficient (PparaΔCM) mouse model. This study aimed to determine the specific role of cardiomyocyte PPARα in transverse aortic constriction (TAC)-induced cardiac remodeling using an inducible PparaΔCM mouse model. PparaΔCM and Pparafl/fl mice were randomly subjected to sham or TAC for 2 weeks. Cardiomyocyte PPARα deficiency accelerated TAC-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis. Transcriptome analysis showed that genes related to fatty acid metabolism were dramatically downregulated, but genes critical for glycolysis were markedly upregulated in PparaΔCM hearts. Moreover, the hypertrophy-related genes, including genes involved in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, cell adhesion, and cell migration, were upregulated in hypertrophic PparaΔCM hearts. Western blot analyses demonstrated an increased HIF1α protein level in hypertrophic PparaΔCM hearts. PET/CT analyses showed an enhanced glucose uptake in hypertrophic PparaΔCM hearts. Bioenergetic analyses further revealed that both basal and maximal oxygen consumption rates and ATP production were significantly increased in hypertrophic Pparafl/fl hearts; however, these increases were markedly blunted in PparaΔCM hearts. In contrast, hypertrophic PparaΔCM hearts exhibited enhanced extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) capacity, as reflected by increased basal ECAR and glycolysis but decreased glycolytic reserve. These results suggest that cardiomyocyte PPARα is crucial for the homeostasis of both energy metabolism and ECM during TAC-induced cardiac remodeling, thus providing new insights into potential therapeutics of cardiac remodeling-related diseases.

Abstract
The heart has a reduced capacity to generate sufficient energy when failing, resulting in an energy-starved condition with diminished functions. Studies have identified numerous changes in metabolic pathways in the failing heart that result in reduced oxidation of both glucose and fatty acid substrates, defects in mitochondrial functions and oxidative phosphorylation, and inefficient substrate utilization for the ATP that is produced. Recent early-phase clinical studies indicate that inhibitors of fatty acid oxidation and antioxidants that target the mitochondria may improve heart function during failure by increasing compensatory glucose oxidation. Adrenergic receptors (α1 and β) are a key sympathetic nervous system regulator that controls cardiac function. β-AR blockers are an established treatment for heart failure and α1A-AR agonists have potential therapeutic benefit. Besides regulating inotropy and chronotropy, α1- and β-adrenergic receptors also regulate metabolic functions in the heart that underlie many cardiac benefits. This review will highlight recent studies that describe how adrenergic receptor-mediated metabolic pathways may be able to restore cardiac energetics to non-failing levels that may offer promising therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Studies restricted to live births may underestimate severe teratogenic effects. We address the limitation by including data from both prenatal and postnatal diagnoses of cardiac malformations. DESIGN Register-based study. SETTING Denmark. POPULATION 364 012 singleton pregnancies from 2007 to 2014. METHODS We used data from five nationwide registries. Exposure to antidepressants was measured using redeemed prescriptions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pregnancies with cardiac malformations that end in miscarriage, termination, stillbirth, postnatal death or cardiac surgery <1 year of birth were classified as severe cardiac malformations (SCM). Propensity scores with adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) were calculated. RESULTS SCM were reported in 972 of 364 012 pregnancies overall and in 16 of 4105 exposed. For venlafaxine, the PR for SCM was 2.13 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.89-5.13), 1.73 (95% CI 1.08-2.77) for other cardiac malformations, and there was a cluster of hypoplastic left heart syndromes (HLHS) (crude PR 17.4 [95% CI 6.41-47.2]), none of which ended in a live birth. For HLHS, the absolute risk increase was 4.4/1000 and the number needed to harm was 225. For selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, the PRs were 1.09 (95% CI 0.52-2.30) and 1.38 (95% CI 1.00-1.92) for SCM and other cardiac malformations, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Pregnancy exposure to venlafaxine is associated with an increased risk of severe cardiac malformations but with a low absolute risk. Potential mechanisms include direct effects or confounding by indication. Venlafaxine exposure is a marker for risk pregnancies for which fetal echocardiography may be considered. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT Exposure to venlafaxine is associated with an increased risk of cardiac malformations but with a low absolute risk. TWEETABLE ABSTRACT.

Abstract
In vivo micro-imaging of mice is useful in studying the genetic basis of cardiac development in mutant embryos. We examined Phox2b-/- mutant mice, which lack autonomic innervation to the heart and die in utero, and investigated whether this lack of innervation causes cardiac dysfunction during embryogenesis. A VisualSonics Vevo 2100 ultrahigh-frequency linear array ultrasound machine with 30- and 40-MHz probes was used to analyze embryo size, gross characteristics, ventricular contractility and rhythm. Phox2b-/- mutant embryos underwent cessation of heartbeat and death at a greater rate than wild-type controls. We did not observe a hydrops phenotype or congenital heart defects in Phox2b-/- mutants. Analysis of heart rhythm revealed no significant correlation with genotype. Absent these signs of a progressive pathology, we suggest that Phox2b-/- mutant embryos likely die of sudden death secondary to acute arrhythmia. These data provide insight into the role of cardiac autonomic innervation during development.

Abstract
Exposure to adverse factors in utero may lead to adaptive changes in cardiac structure and metabolism, which increases the risk of chronic cardiovascular disease later in life. Studies showed that the angiotensin II type 1 receptor autoantibodies (AT1-AAs) are able to cross the placenta into the circulation of pregnant rodents' embryo, which adversely affects embryogenesis. However, the effects of AT1-AA exposure on the fetal heart in utero are still unknown. In this study, we investigated whether intrauterine AT1-AA exposure has adverse effects on fetal heart structure, function and metabolism. AT1-AA-positive pregnant mouse models were successfully established by passive immunity, evidenced by increased AT1-AA content. Morphological and ultrasonic results showed that the fetal mice on embryonic day 18 (E18) of AT1-AA group have loose and disordered myocardial structure, and decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS), compared with control groups. The myocardium of AT1-AA group fetal mice on E18 exhibited increased expression of the key molecules in the glycolytic pathway, pyruvate and lactic acid content and ATP production, suggesting that the glycolysis rate was enhanced. Furthermore, the enhanced effect of glycolysis caused by AT1-AA is mainly through the PPARβ/δ pathway. These data confirmed that fetus exposure to AT1-AA in utero developed left ventricular dysfunction, myocardial structural arrangement disorders, and enhanced glycolysis on E18. Our results support AT1-AA being a potentially harmful factor for cardiovascular disease in fetal mice.

Abstract
Tafazzin, an enzyme associated with the rare inherited x-linked disorder Barth Syndrome, is a nuclear encoded mitochondrial transacylase that is highly conserved across multiple species and plays an important role in mitochondrial function. Numerous studies have elucidated the mechanisms by which Tafazzin affects mitochondrial function, but its effects on development and susceptibility to adult disease are incompletely understood. The purpose of this review is to highlight previous functional studies across a variety of model organisms, introduce recent studies that show an important role in development, and also to provide an update on the role of Tafazzin in human disease. The profound effects of Tafazzin on cardiac development and adult cardiac homeostasis will be emphasized. These studies underscore the importance of mitochondrial function in cardiac development and disease, and also introduce the concept of Tafazzin as a potential therapeutic modality.

Abstract
Metabolic remodeling plays an essential role in the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). Many studies have shown that the disruption of phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1) caused severe and lethal HF; however, the metabolic pattern of PDK1 deletion remains ambiguous. 1H nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics was applied to explore the altered metabolic pattern in Pdk1-deficient mice. Principle component analysis showed significant separation as early as 4 weeks of age, and dysfunction of metabolism precedes a morphological change in Pdk1-deficient mice. A time trajectory plot indicated that disturbed metabolic patterns were related to the pathological process of the HF in Pdk1-deficient mice, rather than the age of mice. Metabolic profiles demonstrated significantly increased levels of acetate, glutamate, glutamine, and O-phosphocholine in Pdk1 deletion mice. Levels of lactate, alanine, glycine, taurine, choline, fumarate, IMP, AMP, and ATP were significantly decreased compared with controls. Furthermore, PDK1 knockdown decreased the oxygen consumption rate in H9C2 cells as determined using a Seahorse XF96 Analyzer. These findings imply that the disruption of metabolism and impaired mitochondrial activity might be involved in the pathogenesis of HF with PDK1 deletion.

Abstract
Heart rate (HR) and HR variability (HRV), predictors of over-all organism health, are widely believed to be driven by autonomic input to the sinoatrial node (SAN), with sympathetic input increasing HR and reducing HRV. However, variability in spontaneous beating intervals in isolated SAN tissue and single SAN cells, devoid of autonomic neural input, suggests that clocks intrinsic to SAN cells may also contribute to HR and HRV in vivo. We assessed contributions of both intrinsic and autonomic neuronal input mechanisms of SAN cell function on HR and HRV via in vivo, telemetric EKG recordings. This was done in both wild type (WT) mice, and those in which adenylyl cyclase type 8 (ADCY8), a main driver of intrinsic cAMP-PKA-Ca2+ mediated pacemaker function, was overexpressed exclusively in the heart (TGAC8). We hypothesized that TGAC8 mice would: (1) manifest a more coherent pattern of HRV in vivo, i.e., a reduced HRV driven by mechanisms intrinsic to SAN cells, and less so to modulation by autonomic input and (2) utilize unique adaptations to limit sympathetic input to a heart with high levels of intrinsic cAMP-Ca2+ signaling. Increased adenylyl cyclase (AC) activity in TGAC8 SAN tissue was accompanied by a marked increase in HR and a concurrent marked reduction in HRV, both in the absence or presence of dual autonomic blockade. The marked increase in intrinsic HR and coherence of HRV in TGAC8 mice occurred in the context of: (1) reduced HR and HRV responses to β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) stimulation; (2) increased transcription of genes and expression of proteins [β-Arrestin, G Protein-Coupled Receptor Kinase 5 (GRK5) and Clathrin Adaptor Protein (Dab2)] that desensitize β-AR signaling within SAN tissue, (3) reduced transcripts or protein levels of enzymes [dopamine beta-hydorxylase (DBH) and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT)] required for catecholamine production in intrinsic cardiac adrenergic cells, and (4) substantially reduced plasma catecholamine levels. Thus, mechanisms driven by cAMP-PKA-Ca2+ signaling intrinsic to SAN cells underlie the marked coherence of TGAC8 mice HRV. Adaptations to limit additional activation of AC signaling, via decreased neuronal sympathetic input, are utilized to ensure the hearts survival and prevent Ca2+ overload.

Abstract
Online detection and quantification of three phosphorylated carbohydrate molecules: glucose 1-phosphate, glucose 6-phosphate, and fructose 6-phosphate was achieved by coupling sheath-flow surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to liquid chromatography. The presence of an alkanethiol (hexanethiol) self-assembled monolayer adsorbed to a silver SERS-active substrate helps retain and concentrate the analytes of interest at the SERS substrate to improve the detection sensitivity significantly. Mixtures of 2 μM of phosphorylated carbohydrates in pure water as well as in cell culture media were successfully separated by HPLC, with identification using the sheath-flow SERS detector. The quantification of each analyte was achieved using partial least-squares (PLS) regression analysis and acetonitrile in the mobile phases as an internal standard. These results illustrate the utility of sheath-flow SERS for molecular specific detection in complex biological samples appropriate for metabolomics and other applications.
