Introduction
Cellular metabolism is altered during cancer initiation and progression, which allows cancer cells to increase anabolic synthesis, avoid apoptosis and adapt to low nutrient and oxygen availability. The metabolic nature of cancer enables patient cancer status to be monitored by metabolomics and lipidomics. Additionally, monitoring metabolic status of patients or biological models can be used to greater understand the action of anticancer therapeutics.Objectives
Discuss how metabolomics and lipidomics can be used to (i) identify metabolic biomarkers of cancer and (ii) understand the mechanism-of-action of anticancer therapies. Discuss considerations that can maximize the clinical value of metabolic cancer biomarkers including case–control, prognostic and longitudinal study designs.Methods
A literature search of the current relevant primary research was performed.Results
Metabolomics and lipidomics can identify metabolic signatures that associate with cancer diagnosis, prognosis and disease progression. Discriminatory metabolites were most commonly linked to lipid or energy metabolism. Case–control studies outnumbered prognostic and longitudinal approaches. Prognostic studies were able to correlate metabolic features with future cancer risk, whereas longitudinal studies were most effective for studying cancer progression. Metabolomics and lipidomics can help to understand the mechanism-of-action of anticancer therapeutics and mechanisms of drug resistance.Conclusion
Metabolomics and lipidomics can be used to identify biomarkers associated with cancer and to better understand anticancer therapies.2.

Introduction
Although cultured cells are nowadays regularly analyzed by metabolomics technologies, some issues in study setup and data processing are still not resolved to complete satisfaction: a suitable harvesting method for adherent cells, a fast and robust method for data normalization, and the proof that metabolite levels can be normalized to cell number.Objectives
We intended to develop a fast method for normalization of cell culture metabolomics samples, to analyze how metabolite levels correlate with cell numbers, and to elucidate the impact of the kind of harvesting on measured metabolite profiles.Methods
We cultured four different human cell lines and used them to develop a fluorescence-based method for DNA quantification. Further, we assessed the correlation between metabolite levels and cell numbers and focused on the impact of the harvesting method (scraping or trypsinization) on the metabolite profile.Results
We developed a fast, sensitive and robust fluorescence-based method for DNA quantification showing excellent linear correlation between fluorescence intensities and cell numbers for all cell lines. Furthermore, 82–97 % of the measured intracellular metabolites displayed linear correlation between metabolite concentrations and cell numbers. We observed differences in amino acids, biogenic amines, and lipid levels between trypsinized and scraped cells.Conclusion
We offer a fast, robust, and validated normalization method for cell culture metabolomics samples and demonstrate the eligibility of the normalization of metabolomics data to the cell number. We show a cell line and metabolite-specific impact of the harvesting method on metabolite concentrations.3.

Introduction
Global metabolomics analyses using body fluids provide valuable results for the understanding and prediction of diseases. However, the mechanism of a disease is often tissue-based and it is advantageous to analyze metabolomic changes directly in the tissue. Metabolomics from tissue samples faces many challenges like tissue collection, homogenization, and metabolite extraction.Objectives
We aimed to establish a metabolite extraction protocol optimized for tissue metabolite quantification by the targeted metabolomics AbsoluteIDQ? p180 Kit (Biocrates). The extraction method should be non-selective, applicable to different kinds and amounts of tissues, monophasic, reproducible, and amenable to high throughput.Methods
We quantified metabolites in samples of eleven murine tissues after extraction with three solvents (methanol, phosphate buffer, ethanol/phosphate buffer mixture) in two tissue to solvent ratios and analyzed the extraction yield, ionization efficiency, and reproducibility.Results
We found methanol and ethanol/phosphate buffer to be superior to phosphate buffer in regard to extraction yield, reproducibility, and ionization efficiency for all metabolites measured. Phosphate buffer, however, outperformed both organic solvents for amino acids and biogenic amines but yielded unsatisfactory results for lipids. The observed matrix effects of tissue extracts were smaller or in a similar range compared to those of human plasma.Conclusion
We provide for each murine tissue type an optimized high-throughput metabolite extraction protocol, which yields the best results for extraction, reproducibility, and quantification of metabolites in the p180 kit. Although the performance of the extraction protocol was monitored by the p180 kit, the protocol can be applicable to other targeted metabolomics assays.4.

Introduction
Histologically lung cancer is classified into four major types: adenocarcinoma (Ad), squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), large cell carcinoma (LCC), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Presently, our understanding of cellular metabolism among them is still not clear.Objectives
The goal of this study was to assess the cellular metabolic profiles across these four types of lung cancer using an untargeted metabolomics approach.Methods
Six lung cancer cell lines, viz., Ad (A549 and HCC827), SqCC (NCl-H226 and NCl-H520), LCC (NCl-H460), and SCLC (NCl-H526), were analyzed using liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry, with normal human small airway epithelial cells (SAEC) as the control group. The principal component analysis (PCA) was performed to identify the metabolic signatures that had characteristic alterations in each histological type. Further, a metabolite set enrichment analysis was performed for pathway analysis.Results
Compared to the SAEC, 31, 27, 34, 34, 32, and 39 differential metabolites mainly in relation to nucleotides, amino acid, and fatty acid metabolism were identified in A549, HCC827, NCl-H226, NCl-H520, NCl-H460, and NCl-H526 cells, respectively. The metabolic signatures allowed the six cancerous cell lines to be clearly separated in a PCA score plot.Conclusion
The metabolic signatures are unique to each histological type, and appeared to be related to their cell-of-origin and mutation status. The changes are useful for assessing the metabolic characteristics of lung cancer, and offer potential for the establishment of novel diagnostic tools for different origin and oncogenic mutation of lung cancer.5.

Introduction
Metabolomics technologies enable the identification of putative biomarkers for numerous diseases; however, the influence of confounding factors on metabolite levels poses a major challenge in moving forward with such metabolites for pre-clinical or clinical applications.Objectives
To address this challenge, we analyzed metabolomics data from a colorectal cancer (CRC) study, and used seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) to account for the effects of confounding factors including gender, BMI, age, alcohol use, and smoking.Methods
A SUR model based on 113 serum metabolites quantified using targeted mass spectrometry, identified 20 metabolites that differentiated CRC patients (n?=?36), patients with polyp (n?=?39), and healthy subjects (n?=?83). Models built using different groups of biologically related metabolites achieved improved differentiation and were significant for 26 out of 29 groups. Furthermore, the networks of correlated metabolites constructed for all groups of metabolites using the ParCorA algorithm, before or after application of the SUR model, showed significant alterations for CRC and polyp patients relative to healthy controls.Results
The results showed that demographic covariates, such as gender, BMI, BMI2, and smoking status, exhibit significant confounding effects on metabolite levels, which can be modeled effectively.Conclusion
These results not only provide new insights into addressing the major issue of confounding effects in metabolomics analysis, but also shed light on issues related to establishing reliable biomarkers and the biological connections between them in a complex disease.6.

Introduction
Experiments in metabolomics rely on the identification and quantification of metabolites in complex biological mixtures. This remains one of the major challenges in NMR/mass spectrometry analysis of metabolic profiles. These features are mandatory to make metabolomics asserting a general approach to test a priori formulated hypotheses on the basis of exhaustive metabolome characterization rather than an exploratory tool dealing with unknown metabolic features.Objectives
In this article we propose a method, named ASICS, based on a strong statistical theory that handles automatically the metabolites identification and quantification in proton NMR spectra.Methods
A statistical linear model is built to explain a complex spectrum using a library containing pure metabolite spectra. This model can handle local or global chemical shift variations due to experimental conditions using a warping function. A statistical lasso-type estimator identifies and quantifies the metabolites in the complex spectrum. This estimator shows good statistical properties and handles peak overlapping issues.Results
The performances of the method were investigated on known mixtures (such as synthetic urine) and on plasma datasets from duck and human. Results show noteworthy performances, outperforming current existing methods.Conclusion
ASICS is a completely automated procedure to identify and quantify metabolites in 1H NMR spectra of biological mixtures. It will enable empowering NMR-based metabolomics by quickly and accurately helping experts to obtain metabolic profiles.8.

Introduction
Data sharing is being increasingly required by journals and has been heralded as a solution to the ‘replication crisis’.Objectives
(i) Review data sharing policies of journals publishing the most metabolomics papers associated with open data and (ii) compare these journals’ policies to those that publish the most metabolomics papers.Methods
A PubMed search was used to identify metabolomics papers. Metabolomics data repositories were manually searched for linked publications.Results
Journals that support data sharing are not necessarily those with the most papers associated to open metabolomics data.Conclusion
Further efforts are required to improve data sharing in metabolomics.9.

Introduction
Microbial cells secrete many metabolites during growth, including important intermediates of the central carbon metabolism. This has not been taken into account by researchers when modeling microbial metabolism for metabolic engineering and systems biology studies.Materials and Methods
The uptake of metabolites by microorganisms is well studied, but our knowledge of how and why they secrete different intracellular compounds is poor. The secretion of metabolites by microbial cells has traditionally been regarded as a consequence of intracellular metabolic overflow.Conclusions
Here, we provide evidence based on time-series metabolomics data that microbial cells eliminate some metabolites in response to environmental cues, independent of metabolic overflow. Moreover, we review the different mechanisms of metabolite secretion and explore how this knowledge can benefit metabolic modeling and engineering.11.

Introduction
Both reverse-phase and HILIC chemistries are deployed for liquid-chromatography mass spectrometry (LC–MS) metabolomics analyses, however HILIC methods lag behind reverse-phase methods in reproducibility and versatility. Comprehensive metabolomics analysis is additionally complicated by the physiochemical diversity of metabolites and array of tunable analytical parameters.Objective
Our aim was to rationally and efficiently design complementary HILIC-based polar metabolomics methods on multiple instruments using design of experiments (DoE).Methods
We iteratively tuned LC and MS conditions on ion-switching triple quadrupole (QqQ) and quadrupole-time-of-flight (qTOF) mass spectrometers through multiple rounds of a workflow we term Comprehensive optimization of LC–MS metabolomics methods using design of experiments (COLMeD). Multivariate statistical analysis guided our decision process in the method optimizations.Results
LC–MS/MS tuning for the QqQ method on serum metabolites yielded a median response increase of 161.5 % (p < 0.0001) over initial conditions with a 13.3 % increase in metabolite coverage. The COLMeD output was benchmarked against two widely used polar metabolomics methods, demonstrating total ion current increases of 105.8 and 57.3 %, with median metabolite response increases of 106.1 and 10.3 % (p < 0.0001 and p < 0.05 respectively). For our optimized qTOF method, 22 solvent systems were compared on a standard mix of physiochemically diverse metabolites, followed by COLMeD optimization, yielding a median 29.8 % response increase (p < 0.0001) over initial conditions.Conclusions
The COLMeD process elucidated response tradeoffs, facilitating improved chromatography and MS response without compromising separation of isobars. COLMeD is efficient, requiring no more than 20 injections in a given DoE round, and flexible, capable of class-specific optimization as demonstrated through acylcarnitine optimization within the QqQ method.12.

Introduction
Since blood is in contact with all tissues in the body and is considered to dynamically reflect the body’s pathophysiological status, serum metabolomics changes are important and have diagnostic value in early cancer detection.Objectives
In this prospective study, we investigated the application of metabolomics to differentiate subjects with incident breast cancer (BC) from subjects who remained free of cancer during a mean follow-up period of 7 years with the aim of identifying valuable biomarkers for BC.Methods
Baseline serum samples from 84 female subjects with incident BC (BC group) and 88 cancer-free female subjects (control group) were used. Metabolic alterations associated with BC were investigated via metabolomics analysis of the baseline serum samples using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear-trap quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometry.Results
A total of 57 metabolites were identified through the metabolic analysis. Among them, 20 metabolite levels were significantly higher and 22 metabolite levels were significantly lower in the BC group than in the control group at baseline. Ten metabolic pathways, including amino acid metabolism, arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, linoleic acid metabolism, and retinol metabolism, showed significant differences between the BC group and the control group. Logistic regression revealed that the incidence of BC was affected by leucine, AA, prostaglandin (PG)J2, PGE2, and γ-linolenic acid (GLA).Conclusions
This prospective study showed the clinical relevance of dysregulation of various metabolisms on the incidence of BC. Additionally, leucine, AA, PGJ2, PGE2, and GLA were identified as independent variables affecting the incidence of BC.13.

Background
Inflammatory bowel disease is a group of pathologies characterised by chronic inflammation of the intestine and an unclear aetiology. Its main manifestations are Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. Currently, biopsies are the most used diagnostic tests for these diseases and metabolomics could represent a less invasive approach to identify biomarkers of disease presence and progression.Objectives
The lipid and the polar metabolite profile of plasma samples of patients affected by inflammatory bowel disease have been compared with healthy individuals with the aim to find their metabolomic differences. Also, a selected sub-set of samples was analysed following solid phase extraction to further characterise differences between pathological samples.Methods
A total of 200 plasma samples were analysed using drift tube ion mobility coupled with time of flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography for the lipid metabolite profile analysis, while liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was used for the polar metabolite profile analysis.Results
Variations in the lipid profile between inflammatory bowel disease and healthy individuals were highlighted. Phosphatidylcholines, lyso-phosphatidylcholines and fatty acids were significantly changed among pathological samples suggesting changes in phospholipase A2 and arachidonic acid metabolic pathways. Variations in the levels of cholesteryl esters and glycerophospholipids were also found. Furthermore, a decrease in amino acids levels suggests mucosal damage in inflammatory bowel disease.Conclusions
Given good statistical results and predictive power of the model produced in our study, metabolomics can be considered as a valid tool to investigate inflammatory bowel disease.14.

Introduction
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is very common sleep problem, and it is associated with serious morbidities such as cardiovascular diseases and metabolic diseases. Overnight polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard test for OSA, but it is expensive and requires specific facilities and equipment. Thus, novel screening methods are needed for effective diagnosis and follow-up in OSA.Objectives
The aims of the study were to investigate the urinary metabolic signatures and identify potential urine markers for OSA using a mass spectrometry (MS)-based assay for targeted metabolomics.Methods
Urine samples were collected from 48 male subjects who visited a sleep clinic for suspicious OSA. All underwent overnight in-laboratory polysomnography. The Biocrates AbsoluteIDQ p180 kit was used for targeted metabolomics.Results
Among the 86 metabolites quantified, three acylcarnitines, one biogenic amine, two glycerophospholipids, and two sphingomyelins were differently expressed in OSA patients [apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) ≥5] compared with control groups (AHI <5 and/or simple snoring with no other sleep disorders). Additional partial correlation and multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that long-chain acylcarnitine C14:1, symmetric dimethylarginine, and sphingomyelin C18:1 might be potential biomarkers for OSA. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed favorable predictive properties of these metabolites. Furthermore, a combination of the metabolites exceeding cutoff values yielded further improved sensitivity or specificity.Conclusions
MS-based targeted metabolomics identified specific classes of urinary metabolites that were up-regulated in OSA patients. Further assessments in large populations are required to clarify the screening values of these metabolite markers.15.

Introduction
Subcellular compartmentalization enables eukaryotic cells to carry out different reactions at the same time, resulting in different metabolite pools in the subcellular compartments. Thus, mutations affecting the mitochondrial energy metabolism could cause different metabolic alterations in mitochondria compared to the cytoplasm. Given that the metabolite pool in the cytosol is larger than that of other subcellular compartments, metabolic profiling of total cells could miss these compartment-specific metabolic alterations.Objectives
To reveal compartment-specific metabolic differences, mitochondria and the cytoplasmic fraction of baker’s yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were isolated and subjected to metabolic profiling.Methods
Mitochondria were isolated through differential centrifugation and were analyzed together with the remaining cytoplasm by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) based metabolic profiling.Results
Seventy-two metabolites were identified, of which eight were found exclusively in mitochondria and sixteen exclusively in the cytoplasm. Based on the metabolic signature of mitochondria and of the cytoplasm, mutants of the succinate dehydrogenase (respiratory chain complex II) and of the FOF1-ATP-synthase (complex V) can be discriminated in both compartments by principal component analysis from wild-type and each other. These mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation machinery mutants altered not only citric acid cycle related metabolites but also amino acids, fatty acids, purine and pyrimidine intermediates and others.Conclusion
By applying metabolomics to isolated mitochondria and the corresponding cytoplasm, compartment-specific metabolic signatures can be identified. This subcellular metabolomics analysis is a powerful tool to study the molecular mechanism of compartment-specific metabolic homeostasis in response to mutations affecting the mitochondrial metabolism.16.

Introduction
Previous metabolomics studies have revealed perturbed metabolic signatures in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients, however, most of these studies included mainly late-staged ESCC patients due to the difficulties of collecting the early-staged samples from asymptotic ESCC subjects.Objectives
This study aims to explore the early-staged ESCC metabolic signatures and potential of serum metabolomics to diagnose ESCC at early stages.Methods
Serum samples of 97 ESCC patients (stage 0, 39 cases; stage I, 17 cases; stage II, 11 cases, stage III, 30 cases) and 105 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled and randomly separated into training data (77 ESCCs, 84 HCs) and validation data (20 ESCCs, 21 HCs). Untargeted metabolomics was performed to identify ESCC-related metabolic signatures.Results
The global metabolomics profiles could clearly distinguish ESCC from HC in training data. 16 ascertained metabolites were found to be disturbed in the metabolic pathways characterized by dysregulated fatty acid biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, choline metabolism in cancer and linoleic acid metabolism. The AUC value in validation data was 0.895, with sensitivity 85.0 % and specificity 90.5 %. Good diagnostic performances were also achieved for early stage ESCC, with the values of area under the curve (AUC) 0.881 for the ESCC patients in both stage 0 and I–II. In addition, six metabolites were found to discriminate ESCC stages. Among them, three biomarkers, dodecanoic acid, LysoPA(18:1), and LysoPC(14:0), exhibited clear trend for ESCC progression.Conclusion
These findings suggest serum metabolomics, performed in a minimally noninvasive and convenient manner, may possess great potential for early diagnosis of ESCC patients.17.

Introduction
Preeclampsia represents a major public health burden worldwide, but predictive and diagnostic biomarkers are lacking. Metabolomics is emerging as a valuable approach to generating novel biomarkers whilst increasing the mechanistic understanding of this complex condition.Objectives
To summarize the published literature on the use of metabolomics as a tool to study preeclampsia.Methods
PubMed and Web of Science were searched for articles that performed metabolomic profiling of human biosamples using either Mass-spectrometry or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance based approaches and which included preeclampsia as a primary endpoint.Results
Twenty-eight studies investigating the metabolome of preeclampsia in a variety of biospecimens were identified. Individual metabolite and metabolite profiles were reported to have discriminatory ability to distinguish preeclamptic from normal pregnancies, both prior to and post diagnosis. Lipids and carnitines were among the most commonly reported metabolites. Further work and validation studies are required to demonstrate the utility of such metabolites as preeclampsia biomarkers.Conclusion
Metabolomic-based biomarkers of preeclampsia have yet to be integrated into routine clinical practice. However, metabolomic profiling is becoming increasingly popular in the study of preeclampsia and is likely to be a valuable tool to better understand the pathophysiology of this disorder and to better classify its subtypes, particularly when integrated with other omic data.18.

Introduction
The metabolic alterations accompanying the development of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are complex, not coherently understood and only partially represented by conventional clinical tests like the oral glucose tolerance test. Changes in plasma metabolite concentrations preceding insulin resistance or overt T2DM may help understand the etiology of metabolic disorders and they are potential predictive risk markers.Objectives
Here, we describe a non-targeted metabolomics platform based on UPLC-UHR-QToF-MS(/MS) for the assessment of plasma non-polar metabolites.Methods
This method was applied to a longitudinal mouse obesity study comparing mice on control and high fat diet (HFD), respectively. Plasma metabolites were assessed 2, 4, 8 and 16 weeks after initiation of feeding. Multivariate analysis of the metabolite dataset showed clear differentiation of the feeding groups after 8 weeks when the HFD-fed mice exhibited clear signs of insulin resistance.Results
The discrimination of the groups was due to changes in various metabolic pathways including, among others, glycerophospholipid, sphingolipid and cholesterol metabolism.Conclusion
From 81 compounds with a p-value lower than 0.05, a total of 19 metabolites could be putatively identified due to their accurate mass, isotope and fragmentation pattern. Thirteen of these observed metabolites are known key metabolites to diabetes or its secondary diseases like diabetic nephropathy and neuropathy (Meiss, Werner, John, Scheja, Herbach, Heeren, Fischer 2015). The compounds putatively identified here may provide valuable starting points for further investigations and developments of clinical diagnostics and prediagnostics for T2DM and related diseases.19.

Introduction
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a maneuver by which short non-lethal ischemic events are applied on distant organs or limbs to reduce ischemia and reperfusion injuries caused by e.g. myocardial infarct. Although intensively investigated, the specific mechanism of this protective phenomenon remains incompletely understood and in particular, knowledge on the role of small metabolites is scarce.Objectives
In this study, we aimed to study perturbations in the plasma metabolome following RIC and gain insight into metabolic changes by the intervention as well as to identify potential novel cardio-protective metabolites.Methods
Blood plasma samples from ten healthy males were collected prior to and after RIC and tested for bioactivity in a HL-1 based cellular model of ischemia–reperfusion damage. Following this, the plasma was analyzed using untargeted LC-qTOF-MS and regulated metabolites were identified using univariate and multivariate statistical analysis. Results were finally verified in a second plasma study from the same group of volunteers and by testing a metabolite ester in the HL-1 cell model.Results
The analysis revealed a moderate impact on the plasma metabolome following RIC. One metabolite, α-hydroxybutyrate (AHB) however, stood out as highly significantly upregulated after RIC. AHB might be a novel and more sensitive plasma-biomarker of transient tissue ischemia than lactate. Importantly, it was also found that a cell permeable AHB precursor protects cardiomyocytes from ischemia–reperfusion damage.Conclusion
Untargeted metabolomics analysis of plasma following RIC has led to insight into metabolism during RIC and revealed a possible novel metabolite of relevance to ischemic-reperfusion damage.20.
