Study of the pathophysiological mechanisms associated with the onset and course of neurodevelopmental disorders in preterm infants (the PeriSTRESS-PremTEA study): Rationale, objectives, design and sample description. SPANISH JOURNAL OF PSYCHIATRY AND MENTAL HEALTH 2024; 17:19-27. [PMID: 33618030 DOI: 10.1016/j.rpsm.2021.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Revised: 12/03/2020] [Accepted: 02/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few studies exploring the pathophysiological pathways that may condition differentially the emergence/course of neurodevelopmental disorders (ND) in very preterm and extremely preterm newborns (VPTN/EPTN). Furthermore, there are no established biological markers predictive of ND in this population. The aim of this study is four-fold: in two cohorts of VPTN/EPTN (i) to characterize the emergence/course of ND up to corrected-age 6 years, (ii) to identify those factors (from prenatal stages up to age 6 years) that explain the interindividual differences related to emergence/course of ND, (iii) to identify in the first hours/days of life a urinary metabolomic biomarker profile predictive of ND, and (iv) to determine longitudinally variations in DNA methylation patterns predictive of ND. METHODS Observational, longitudinal, prospective, six-year follow-up, multicentre collaborative study. Two cohorts are being recruited: the PeriSTRESS-Valencia-cohort (n=26 VPTN, 18 EPTN, and 122 born-at-term controls), and the PremTEA-Madrid-cohort (n=49 EPTN and n=29 controls). RESULTS We describe the rationale, objectives and design of the PeriSTRESS-PremTEA project and show a description at birth of the recruited samples. CONCLUSIONS The PeriSTRESS-PremTEA project could help improve early identification of clinical, environmental and biological variables involved in the physiopathology of ND in VPTN/EPTN. It could also help to improve the early identification of non-invasive ND biomarkers in this population. This may allow early ND detection as well as early and personalised intervention for these children.

Raffay TM, Di Fiore JM, Chen Z, Sánchez-Illana Á, Vento M, Piñeiro-Ramos JD, Kuligowski J, Martin RJ, Tatsuoka C, Minich NM, MacFarlane PM, Hibbs AM. Hypoxemia events in preterm neonates are associated with urine oxidative biomarkers. Pediatr Res 2023; 94:1444-1450. [PMID: 37188801 DOI: 10.1038/s41390-023-02646-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2023] [Revised: 04/18/2023] [Accepted: 04/21/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Intermittent hypoxemia (IH) events are common in preterm neonates and are associated with adverse outcomes. Animal IH models can induce oxidative stress. We hypothesized that an association exists between IH and elevated peroxidation products in preterm neonates. METHODS Time in hypoxemia, frequency of IH, and duration of IH events were assessed from a prospective cohort of 170 neonates (<31 weeks gestation). Urine was collected at 1 week and 1 month. Samples were analyzed for lipid, protein, and DNA oxidation biomarkers. RESULTS At 1 week, adjusted multiple quantile regression showed positive associations between several hypoxemia parameters with various individual quantiles of isofurans, neurofurans, dihomo-isoprostanes, dihomo-isofurans, and ortho-tyrosine and a negative correlation with dihomo-isoprostanes and meta-tyrosine. At 1 month, positive associations were found between several hypoxemia parameters with quantiles of isoprostanes, dihomo-isoprostanes and dihomo-isofurans and a negative correlation with isoprostanes, isofurans, neuroprostanes, and meta-tyrosine. CONCLUSIONS Preterm neonates experience oxidative damage to lipids, proteins, and DNA that can be analyzed from urine samples. Our single-center data suggest that specific markers of oxidative stress may be related to IH exposure. Future studies are needed to better understand mechanisms and relationships to morbidities of prematurity. IMPACT Hypoxemia events are frequent in preterm infants and are associated with poor outcomes. The mechanisms by which hypoxemia events result in adverse neural and respiratory outcomes may include oxidative stress to lipids, proteins, and DNA. This study begins to explore associations between hypoxemia parameters and products of oxidative stress in preterm infants. Oxidative stress biomarkers may assist in identifying high-risk neonates.

Abstract
This is a narrative review about the mechanisms involved in bacterial sepsis in preterm infants, which is an illness with a high incidence, morbidity, and mortality. The role of the innate immune response and its relationship with oxidative stress in the pathogenesis are described as well as their potential implementation as early biomarkers. Moreover, we address the impact that all the mechanisms triggered by sepsis have on the dysbiosis and the changes on neonatal microbiota.

Abstract
Oxidative stress can be associated with hyperoxia and hypoxia and is characterized by an increase in reactive oxygen (ROS) and nitrogen (RNS) species generated by an underlying disease process or by supplemental oxygen that exceeds the neutralization capacity of the organ system. ROS and RNS acting as free radicals can inactive several enzymes and vasodilators in the nitric oxide pathway promoting pulmonary vasoconstriction resulting in persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Studies in animal models of PPHN have shown high ROS/RNS that is further increased by hyperoxic ventilation. In addition, antioxidant therapy increased PaO2 in these models, but clinical trials are lacking. We recommend targeting preductal SpO2 between 90 and 97%, PaO2 between 55 and 80 mmHg and avoiding FiO2 > 0.6-0.8 if possible during PPHN management. This review highlights the role of oxidative and nitrosative stress markers on PPHN and potential therapeutic interventions that may alleviate the consequences of increased oxidant stress during ventilation with supplemental oxygen.

Abstract
Oxidative stress in the fetal period is associated with preterm birth as well as short and long-term adverse clinical outcomes. Here, an Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of biomarkers of oxidative stress-derived damage to proteins and DNA in amniotic fluid (AF) samples is presented. Appropriate accuracy and precision levels, as well as sensitivity with limits of detection in the low nanomolar (<2 nM) range were achieved. The analytical method was applied to a set of AF samples and reference ranges of the biomarker panel are presented. Median concentrations of biomarkers of protein oxidation (ortho-, 3-chloro-, and 3-nitrotyrosine) and their precursors (para-tyrosine and phenylalanine) ranged between 0.6 and 3 nM and 23 and 30 μM, respectively, while levels of a biomarker of DNA-oxidation (8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine, 8OHdG) and its precursor (2'-deoxyguanosine) were found to be 0.18 and 3 nM, respectively. Detection frequencies of all metabolites were 100% with exception of 3-chlorotyrosine (3Cl-Tyr) and 8OHdG, that were only detected in 8% of samples. The developed method may be applied in research studies focusing on oxidative stress-related complications during pregnancy.

Abstract
Oxidative stress (OS) plays a key role in the pathophysiology of preterm infants. Accurate assessment of OS remains an analytical challenge that has been partially addressed during the last few decades. A plethora of approaches have been developed to assess preterm biofluids to demonstrate a link postnatally with preterm OS, giving rise to a set of widely employed biomarkers. However, the vast number of different analytic methods and lack of standardization hampers reliable comparison of OS-related biomarkers. In this chapter, we discuss approaches for the study of OS in prematurity with respect to methodologic considerations, the metabolic source of different biomarkers and their role in clinical studies.

Effect of a Marathon on Skin Temperature Response After a Cold-Stress Test and Its Relationship With Perceptive, Performance, and Oxidative-Stress Biomarkers. Int J Sports Physiol Perform 2020; 15:1467-1475.

Abstract
CONTEXT Although skin-temperature assessment has received much attention in recent years as a possible internal-load measurement, scientific evidence is scarce. PURPOSE To analyze baseline skin temperature and its rewarming through means of a cold-stress test before and after performing a marathon and to study the association between skin temperature and internal/external-load measurements. METHODS A total of 16 runners were measured 48 and 24 h before and 24 and 48 h after completing a marathon. The measurements on each day of testing included urine biomarkers of oxidative stress, pain and fatigue perception, skin temperature (at baseline and after a cold-stress test), and jump performance. RESULTS Reduced jump performance (P < .01 and effect size [ES] = 0.5) and higher fatigue and pain perception were observed 24 h after the marathon (P < .01 and ES > 0.8). Although no differences in baseline skin temperature were observed between the 4 measuring days, posterior legs presented lower constant (P < .01 and ES = 1.4) and higher slope (P = .04 and ES = 1.1) parameters in the algorithmic equations fitted for skin-temperature recovery after the cold-stress test 24 h after the marathon than on the day before the marathon. Regressions showed that skin-temperature parameters could be predicted by the ratio of ortho-tyrosine isomer to phenylalanine (oxidative stress biomarker) and body fat composition, among others. CONCLUSIONS Although baseline skin temperature was not altered 24 or 48 h after a marathon, the application of cold stress after the marathon would appear to be a good method for providing information on vasoconstriction and a runner's state of stress.

Abstract
Preterm infants frequently require positive pressure ventilation and oxygen supplementation in the first minutes after birth. It has been shown that the amount of oxygen provided during stabilization, the oxygen load, if excessive may cause hyperoxia, and oxidative damage to DNA. Epidemiologic studies have associated supplementation with pure oxygen in the first minutes after birth with childhood cancer. Recent studies have shown that the amount of oxygen supplemented to preterm infants after birth modifies the epigenome. Of note, the degree of DNA hyper-or hypomethylation correlates with the oxygen load provided upon stabilization. If these epigenetic modifications would persist, oxygen supplied in the first minutes after birth could have long term consequences. Further studies with a robust power calculation and long-term follow up are needed to bear out the long-term consequences of oxygen supplementation during postnatal stabilization of preterm infants.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, and its characteristic histopathological hallmarks are neurofibrillary tangles and senile plaques. Among involved mechanisms, oxidative stress plays an important role in damaging cell components (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids). In this study, different oxidized products of proteins and DNA were determined in the urine samples from mild cognitive impairment due to AD patients (n = 53) and healthy controls (n = 27) by means of ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis. A multivariate model developed by partial least squares generated a diagnostic model for AD with an AUC-ROC (area under the curve-receiver operating characteristic) of 0.843. From the studied analytes, 8-OHdG (8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine) and the ratio 8-OHdG/2dG (2’-deoxyguanosine) were able to distinguish between AD and healthy participants, showing statistically significant differences between groups, postulating DNA oxidation as a molecular pathway involved in early AD.

Abstract
Pasteurized donor human milk (DHM) is the preferred alternative for infant nutrition when own mother's milk (OMM) is unavailable. Whether DHM is an efficient means for protecting preterm infants from oxidative stress remains unknown. We quantified a panel of oxidative stress biomarkers in urine samples from preterm infants (≤32 weeks of gestation and a birth weight ≤1500 g) receiving ≥80% of feeding volume as either DHM or OMM. The noninvasive in vivo assessment of oxidative stress showed no statistically significant difference between both groups at the time when full enteral nutrition (150 mL/kg body weight) was achieved and until hospital discharge. In addition, the changes of urinary biomarker levels with time were assessed. This is the first longitudinal study on oxidative stress levels in preterm infants fed with DHM in comparison with OMM. There is no statistically significant difference in urinary oxidative stress levels of preterm infants from both groups indicating that despite the effects of pasteurization, DHM is a valid alternative when OMM is not available. Based on the results, we raise the hypothesis that pasteurized DHM protects preterm infants from oxidative stress as good as OMM, and consequently, its use could prevent oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
The immunological response in bacterial meningitis (BM) causes the formation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS, RNS) and activates myeloperoxidase (MPO), an inflammatory enzyme. Thus, structural oxidative and nitrosative damage to proteins and DNA occurs. We aimed to asses these events in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of pediatric BM patients. Phenylalanine (Phe), para-tyrosine (p-Tyr), nucleoside 2'-deoxiguanosine (2dG), and biomarkers of ROS/RNS-induced protein and DNA oxidation: ortho-tyrosine (o-Tyr), 3-chlorotyrosine (3Cl-Tyr), 3-nitrotyrosine (3NO₂-Tyr) and 8-oxo-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG), concentrations were measured by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry in the initial CSF of 79 children with BM and 10 without BM. All biomarkers, normalized with their corresponding precursors, showed higher median concentrations (p < 0.0001) in BM compared with controls, except 8OHdG/2dG. The ratios o-Tyr/Phe, 3Cl-Tyr/p-Tyr and 3NO₂-Tyr/p-Tyr were 570, 20 and 4.5 times as high, respectively. A significantly higher 3Cl-Tyr/p-Tyr ratio was found in BM caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, than by Haemophilus influenzae type b, or Neisseria meningitidis (p = 0.002 for both). In conclusion, biomarkers indicating oxidative damage to proteins distinguished BM patients from non-BM, most clearly the o-Tyr/Phe ratio. The high 3Cl-Tyr/p-Tyr ratio in pneumococcal meningitis suggests robust inflammation because 3Cl-Tyr is a marker of MPO activation and, indirectly, of inflammation.

Abstract
Background: International consensus statements for resuscitation of newborn infants recommend provision of 100% oxygen once chest compressions are required. However, 100% oxygen exacerbates reperfusion injury and reduces cerebral perfusion in newborn babies. Objective: We aimed to establish whether resuscitation with air during chest compression is feasible and safe in newborn infants compared with 100% oxygen. Methods: Systematic search of PubMed, Google Scholar and CINAHL for articles examining variable oxygen concentrations during chest compressions in term newborns. Results: Overall, no human studies but eight animal studies (n = 323 animals) comparing various oxygen concentrations during chest compression were identified. The pooled analysis showed no difference in mortality rates for animals resuscitated with air vs. 100% oxygen (risk ratio 1.04 [0.35, 3.08], I2 = 0%, p = 0.94). ROSC was also similar between groups with a mean difference of -3.8 [-29.7-22] s, I2 = 0%, p = 0.77. No difference in oxygen damage or adverse events were identified between groups. Conclusions: Air had similar time to ROSC and mortality as 100% oxygen during neonatal chest compression. A large randomized controlled clinical trial comparing air vs. 100% oxygen during neonatal chest compression is warranted.

Abstract
Untargeted metabolomics, as a global approach, has already proven its great potential and capabilities for the investigation of health and disease, as well as the wide applicability for other research areas. Although great progress has been made on the feasibility of metabolomics experiments, there are still some challenges that should be faced and that includes all sources of fluctuations and bias affecting every step involved in multiplatform untargeted metabolomics studies. The identification and reduction of the main sources of unwanted variation regarding the pre-analytical, analytical and post-analytical phase of metabolomics experiments is essential to ensure high data quality. Nowadays, there is still a lack of information regarding harmonized guidelines for quality assurance as those available for targeted analysis. In this review, sources of variations to be considered and minimized along with methodologies and strategies for monitoring and improvement the quality of the results are discussed. The given information is based on evidences from different groups among our own experiences and recommendations for each stage of the metabolomics workflow. The comprehensive overview with tools presented here might serve other researchers interested in monitoring, controlling and improving the reliability of their findings by implementation of good experimental quality practices in the untargeted metabolomics study.

Abstract
Birth asphyxia is one of the principal causes of early neonatal death. In survivors it may evolve to hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy and major long-term neurological morbidity. Prolonged and intense asphyxia will lead to energy exhaustion in tissues exclusively dependent on aerobic metabolism, such as the central nervous system. Energy deficit leads to ATP-dependent pumps blockage, with the subsequent loss of neuronal transmembrane potential. The most sensitive areas of the brain will die due to necrosis. In more resistant areas, neuronal hyper-excitability, massive entrance of ionic calcium, activation of NO-synthase, free radical generation, and alteration in mitochondrial metabolism will lead to a secondary energy failure and programmed neuronal death by means of the activation of the caspase pathways. A third phase has recently been described that includes persistent inflammation and epigenetic changes that would lead to a blockage of oligodendrocyte maturation, alteration of neurogenesis, axonal maturation, and synaptogenesis. In this scenario, oxidative stress plays a critical role causing direct damage to the central nervous system and activating metabolic cascades leading to apoptosis and inflammation. Moderate whole body hypothermia to preserve energy stores and to reduce the formation of oxygen reactive species attenuates the mechanisms that lead to the amplification of cerebral damage upon resuscitation. The combination of hypothermia with coadjuvant therapies may contribute to improve the prognosis.

Abstract
Oxidative DNA damage plays crucial roles in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases including cancer. 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is the most representative product of oxidative modifications of DNA, and urinary 8-OHdG is potentially the best non-invasive biomarker of oxidative damage to DNA. Herein, we developed a sensitive, specific and accurate method for quantification of 8-OHdG in human urine. The urine samples were pretreated using off-line solid-phase extraction (SPE), followed by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) analysis. By the use of acetic acid as an additive to the mobile phase, we improved the UPLC-MS/MS detection of 8-OHdG by 2.7−5.3 times. Using the developed strategy, we measured the contents of 8-OHdG in urine samples from 142 healthy volunteers and 84 patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We observed increased levels of urinary 8-OHdG in patients with CRC and patients with tumor metastasis, compared to healthy controls and patients without tumor metastasis, respectively. Additionally, logistic regression analysis and receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed. Our findings implicate that oxidative stress plays important roles in the development of CRC and the marked increase of urinary 8-OHdG may serve as a potential liquid biomarker for the risk estimation, early warning and detection of CRC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Free radicals cause alterations in cellular protein structure and function. Oxidized, nitrated, and chlorinated modifications of aromatic amino acids including phenylalanine and tyrosine are reliable biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation in clinical conditions. OBJECTIVE To develop, validate and apply a rapid method for the quantification of known hallmarks of tyrosine oxidation, nitration and chlorination in plasma and tissue proteins providing a snapshot of the oxidative stress and inflammatory status of the organism and of target organs respectively. MATERIAL AND METHODS The extraction and clean up procedure entailed protein precipitation, followed by protein re-suspension and enzymatic digestion with pronase. An Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed to quantify protein released ortho-tyrosine (o-Tyr), meta-tyrosine (m-Tyr), 3-nitrotyrosine (3NO2-Tyr) and 3-chlorotyrosine (3Cl-Tyr) as well as native phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (p-Tyr) in plasma and tissue from a validated hypoxic newborn piglet experimental model. RESULTS In plasma there was a significant increase in the 3NO2-Tyr/p-Tyr ratio. On the other hand m-Tyr/Phe and 3Cl-Tyr/p-Tyr ratios were significantly increased in liver of hypoxic compared with normoxic animals. Although no significant differences were found in brain tissue, a clear tendency to increased ratios was observed under hypoxic conditions. CONCLUSIONS UPLC-MS/MS has proven suitable for the analysis of plasma and tissue samples from newborn piglets. The analysis of biomarkers of protein oxidation, nitration and chlorination will be applied in future studies aiming to provide a deeper insight into the mechanisms of oxidation-derived protein modification caused during neonatal asphyxia and resuscitation.

Curr Med Chem 2016; 23:667-85. [PMID: 26785996 PMCID: PMC4997921 DOI: 10.2174/0929867323666160119094516] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2015] [Revised: 01/05/2016] [Accepted: 01/18/2016] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Oxidative stress plays a major role in the pathogenesis of a variety of acute and chronic diseases. Measurement of the oxidative stress-related end products may be performed, e.g. that of structural isomers of the physiological para-tyrosine, namely meta- and ortho-tyrosine, that are oxidized derivatives of phenylalanine. Recent data suggest that in sepsis, serum level of meta-tyrosine increases, which peaks on the 2(nd) and 3(rd) days (p<0.05 vs. controls), and the kinetics follows the intensity of the systemic inflammation correlating with serum procalcitonin levels. In a similar study subset, urinary meta-tyrosine excretion correlated with both need of daily insulin dose and the insulin-glucose product in non-diabetic septic cases (p<0.01 for both). Using linear regression model, meta-tyrosine excretion, urinary meta-tyrosine/para-tyrosine, urinary ortho-tyrosine/para-tyrosine and urinary (meta- + orthotyrosine)/ para-tyrosine proved to be markers of carbohydrate homeostasis. In a chronic rodent model, we tried to compensate the abnormal tyrosine isomers using para-tyrosine, the physiological amino acid. Rats were fed a standard high cholesterol-diet, and were given para-tyrosine or vehicle orally. High-cholesterol feeding lead to a significant increase in aortic wall meta-tyrosine content and a decreased vasorelaxation of the aorta to insulin and the glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, liraglutide, that both could be prevented by administration of para-tyrosine. Concluding, these data suggest that meta- and ortho-tyrosine are potential markers of oxidative stress in acute diseases related to oxidative stress, and may also interfere with insulin action in septic humans. Competition of meta- and ortho-tyrosine by supplementation of para-tyrosine may exert a protective role in oxidative stress-related diseases.

Abstract
Intra-amniotic infection/inflammation (IAI) is associated with preterm birth, short and long-term adverse clinical outcomes and oxidative stress. The diagnosis of IAI is based on histological and clinical findings; however, often these results are unspecific. Therefore, efforts have been directed towards validating reliable methods for patients lacking overt clinical symptoms. In this study, amniotic fluid (AF) samples were prospectively collected from 23 women grouped into two categories (with or without IAI) following clinical, microbiological and histological criteria. AFs were analyzed using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the determination of the following biomarkers: oxidized and nitrated tyrosines (Tyr), 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8OHdG), oxidized glutathione (GSSG) and glutathione sulfonamide (GSA). 3-NO2-Tyrosine (3NO2-Tyr) and GSSG concentrations in AF were not identified as significantly relevant biomarkers in the presence of IAI. However, inflammatory biomarkers such as GSA (p=0.002) and 3-Chloro-Tyrosine [3Cl-Tyr (p=0.049)], and oxidative stress biomarker 8OHdG (p=0.021) were significantly increased in AF with IAI as compared to normal controls. Biomarkers of inflammation and oxidative stress determined in AF samples could represent a new approach towards an early diagnosis of IAI and subsequent chorioamnionitis in the clinical setting.

Trials 2015; 16:453.

Abstract
Background Extremely premature (birth weight < 1250 g) infants are at high risk for acquiring late-onset sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis, which are associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Own mother's milk contains protective (immune and trophic) biofactors which provide antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and immunomodulatory functions, enhance intestinal microbiota, and promote intestinal maturation. Many of these biofactors are most highly concentrated in the milk expressed by mothers of extremely premature infants. However, since extremely premature infants do not receive oral milk feeds until 32 weeks post-conceptional age, they lack the potential benefit provided by milk (biofactor) exposure to oropharyngeal immunocompetent cells, and this deficiency could contribute to late-onset sepsis and necrotizing enterocolitis. Therefore, oropharyngeal administration of own mother's milk may improve the health outcomes of these infants. Objectives To compare the effects of oropharyngeal administration of mother’s milk to a placebo, for important clinical outcomes, including (1A) reducing the incidence of late-onset sepsis (primary outcome) and (1B) necrotizing enterocolitis and death (secondary outcomes). To identify the biomechanisms responsible for the beneficial effects of oropharyngeal mother’s milk for extremely premature infants, including; (2A) enhancement of gastrointestinal (fecal) microbiota (2B) improvement in antioxidant defense maturation or reduction of pro-oxidant status, and (2C) maturation of immunostimulatory effects as measured by changes in urinary lactoferrin. Methods/Design A 5-year, multi-center, double-blind, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oropharyngeal mother’s milk to reduce the incidence of (1A) late-onset sepsis and (1B) necrotizing enterocolitis and death in a large cohort of extremely premature infants (n = 622; total patients enrolled). Enrolled infants are randomly assigned to one of 2 groups: Group A infants receive 0.2 mL of own mother's milk, via oropharyngeal administration, every 2 hours for 48 hours, then every 3 hours until 32 weeks corrected-gestational age. Group B infants receive a placebo (0.2 mL sterile water) following the same protocol. Milk, urine, oral mucosal swab, and stool samples are collected at various time points, before, during and after the treatment periods. Health outcome and safety data are collected throughout the infant’s stay. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02116699 on 11 April 2014. Last updated: 26 May 2015

Abstract
Many inflammatory diseases have an oxidative aetiology, which leads to oxidative damage to biomolecules, including proteins. It is now increasingly recognized that oxidative post-translational modifications (oxPTMs) of proteins affect cell signalling and behaviour, and can contribute to pathology. Moreover, oxidized proteins have potential as biomarkers for inflammatory diseases. Although many assays for generic protein oxidation and breakdown products of protein oxidation are available, only advanced tandem mass spectrometry approaches have the power to localize specific oxPTMs in identified proteins. While much work has been carried out using untargeted or discovery mass spectrometry approaches, identification of oxPTMs in disease has benefitted from the development of sophisticated targeted or semi-targeted scanning routines, combined with chemical labeling and enrichment approaches. Nevertheless, many potential pitfalls exist which can result in incorrect identifications. This review explains the limitations, advantages and challenges of all of these approaches to detecting oxidatively modified proteins, and provides an update on recent literature in which they have been used to detect and quantify protein oxidation in disease.
