Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the preventive effect of aerobic exercise on renal damage caused by obesity. METHODS The mice in the Control (Con) and Control + Exercise (Con + Ex) groups received a standard chow diet for the 21-week duration of the study, while the High-fat diet (HFD) group and High-fat diet + Exercise (HFD + Ex) group were fed an HFD. Mice were acclimated to the laboratory for 1 week, given 12 weeks of being on their respective diets, and then the Con + Ex and HFD + Ex groups were subjected to moderate intensity aerobic treadmill running 45 min/day, 5 days/week for 8 weeks. RESULTS We found that HFD-induced obesity mainly impacts kidney glycerin phospholipids, glycerides, and fatty acyls, and aerobic exercise mainly impacts kidney glycerides, amino acids and organic acids as well as their derivatives. We identified 18 metabolites with significantly altered levels that appear to be involved in aerobic exercise mediated prevention of HFD-induced obesity and renal damage, half of which were amino acids and organic acids and their derivatives. CONCLUSION Aerobic exercise rewires kidney metabolites to reduce high-fat diet-induced obesity and renal injury.

Abstract
Metabolic abnormalities lead to the dysfunction of metabolic pathways and metabolite accumulation or deficiency which is well-recognized hallmarks of diseases. Metabolite signatures that have close proximity to subject's phenotypic informative dimension, are useful for predicting diagnosis and prognosis of diseases as well as monitoring treatments. The lack of early biomarkers could lead to poor diagnosis and serious outcomes. Therefore, noninvasive diagnosis and monitoring methods with high specificity and selectivity are desperately needed. Small molecule metabolites-based metabolomics has become a specialized tool for metabolic biomarker and pathway analysis, for revealing possible mechanisms of human various diseases and deciphering therapeutic potentials. It could help identify functional biomarkers related to phenotypic variation and delineate biochemical pathways changes as early indicators of pathological dysfunction and damage prior to disease development. Recently, scientists have established a large number of metabolic profiles to reveal the underlying mechanisms and metabolic networks for therapeutic target exploration in biomedicine. This review summarized the metabolic analysis on the potential value of small-molecule candidate metabolites as biomarkers with clinical events, which may lead to better diagnosis, prognosis, drug screening and treatment. We also discuss challenges that need to be addressed to fuel the next wave of breakthroughs.

Use of Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography with High Resolution Mass Spectrometry to Analyze Urinary Metabolome Alterations Following Acute Kidney Injury in Post-Cardiac Surgery Patients. J Mass Spectrom Adv Clin Lab 2022; 24:31-40. [PMID: 35252948 PMCID: PMC8892161 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmsacl.2022.02.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2021] [Revised: 02/08/2022] [Accepted: 02/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Cardiac surgery-associated AKI results in dramatic changes in urinary metabolome. Urinary metabolite disorder observed in patients with cardiac surgery-associated AKI. When metaboloite disorder was due to ischaemia and medical treatment, kidneys could return to normal. This work provides data about urinary metabolic profiles and resources for further research on AKI.
Background Cardiac surgery-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) can increase the mortality and morbidity, and the incidence of chronic kidney disease, in critically ill survivors. The purpose of this research was to investigate possible links between urinary metabolic changes and cardiac surgery-associated AKI. Methods Using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry, non-targeted metabolomics was performed on urinary samples collected from groups of patients with cardiac surgery-associated AKI at different time points, including Before_AKI (uninjured kidney), AKI_Day1 (injured kidney) and AKI_Day14 (recovered kidney) groups. The data among the three groups were analyzed by combining multivariate and univariate statistical methods, and urine metabolites related to AKI in patients after cardiac surgery were screened. Altered metabolic pathways associated with cardiac surgery-induced AKI were identified by examining the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes database. Results The secreted urinary metabolome of the injured kidney can be well separated from the urine metabolomes of uninjured or recovered patients using multivariate and univariate statistical analyses. However, urine samples from the AKI_Day14 and Before_AKI groups cannot be distinguished using either of the two statistical analyses. Nearly 4000 urinary metabolites were identified through bioinformatics methods at Annotation Levels 1–4. Several of these differential metabolites may also perform essential biological functions. Differential analysis of the urinary metabolome among groups was also performed to provide potential prognostic indicators and changes in signalling pathways. Compared with the uninjured kidney group, the patients with cardiac surgery-associated AKI displayed dramatic changes in renal metabolism, including sulphur metabolism and amino acid metabolism. Conclusions Urinary metabolite disorder was observed in patients with cardiac surgery-associated AKI due to ischaemia and medical treatment, and the recovered patients’ kidneys were able to return to normal. This work provides data on urine metabolite markers and essential resources for further research on AKI.
