| Study Title | Pseudoexfoliation aqueous humor lipidome suggests enrichment of specific pathways |
| Study Summary | Pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PEX) is systemic disorder that manifests as white, fluffy, proteinaceous fibrillar material throughout the body. In the eye such deposits result in Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma (PEXG), due to impeding aqueous humor outflow. Serum lipid alterations and increased lipid peroxidation have been reported in PEX. We report first ever comprehensive lipid profiling of the aqueous humor (AH) of PEXG. Our untargeted lipidomic analysis of 23 non-glaucomatous control, 19 primary open angle glaucoma, 9 PEX, and 14 PEXG AH with 13 deuterated lipid internal standards for normalization among the lipid classes resulted in the combined identification of 489 lipid species within 26 lipid classes across PEX, PEXG, POAG, and control AH. The mean total lipid content in the AH across samples showed that control AH (mean peak area 13.54 ± 56.1) had, on average, greater total lipid content than PEX (4.21 ± 10.90), PEXG (9.08 ± 25.97), and POAG (5.66 ± 15.75) samples. Multiple cholesterol esters (ChE), phosphatidylcholines (PC), triglycerides (TG), and ceramides (Cer) were present in higher concentrations for the PEXG AH samples. Some of the lipids found in high concentrations in the PEXG samples are ChE(16:0), ChE(20:3), ChE(18:1), ChE(18:3), ChE(22:6), ChE(18:2), ChE(20:4), PC(16:0/16:0), PC(16:0/18:2), TG(18:1/18:1/20:4), and Cer(t18:0/24:0). The CerG2GNAc1(d34:1) was enriched in control samples and depleted both in PEX and PEXG samples. The PC (18:0/18:2), PC (36:2), and PC (34:1e) are in low concentrations for PEX but highly concentrated in PEXG, despite both having similar material deposits, suggesting they are fundamentally different in composition. Elevations in Apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1) correlated to increase abundance of PC lipid species in the AH of patients with PEXG. Machine learning prediction with three supervised logistic regression binary classification tasks showed 1) POAG vs control, with 86% accuracy 2) PEXG vs control, with 71% accuracy and 3) PEX vs control, with 86% accuracy, respectively. |
