Study ID	ST000917
Study Title	Biomarkers of NAFLD progression: a lipidomics approach to an epidemic. Part 3:Urine
Study Type	Lipidomics Study
Study Summary	The spectrum of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes steatosis, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and cirrhosis. Recognition and timely diagnosis of these different stages, particularly NASH, is important for both potential reversibility and limitation of complications. Liver biopsy remains the clinical standard for definitive diagnosis. Diagnostic tools minimizing the need for invasive procedures or that add information to histologic data are important in novel management strategies for the growing epidemic of NAFLD. We describe an 'omics' approach to detecting a reproducible signature of lipid metabolites, aqueous intracellular metabolites, SNPs, and mRNA transcripts in a double-blinded study of patients with different stages of NAFLD that involves profiling liver biopsies, plasma, and urine samples. Using linear discriminant analysis, a panel of 20 plasma metabolites that includes glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols, and various aqueous small molecular weight components involved in cellular metabolic pathways, can be used to differentiate between NASH and steatosis. This identification of differential biomolecular signatures has the potential to improve clinical diagnosis and facilitate therapeutic intervention of NAFLD.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:	SP000962
Sampleprep Summary:	Urine sample extraction. Five hundred microliters of thawed urine containing 4 µl of internal standard mix were extracted with 500 µl cold (-20°C) CH3OH by incubation in an ice bath for 30 min. After mixing by vortex at 4°C for 1 min and centrifugation (4°C, 18,000 g, 10 min), the solvent was evaporated from the supernatant and the residue was dissolved in 400 µl of resuspension solvent, vortexed to mix (1 min at 4°C), and centrifuged (4°C, 18,000 g, 10 min) to remove any insoluble material. GPLs: GPLs from liver samples were extracted and analyzed by MS essentially as described in (20, 21). Extraction and analysis of plasma samples was according to previously published procedures (22). Cardiolipin, coenzyme Q, and dolichol: Lipid extractions were performed based on the Bligh and Dyer method with minor modifications (23-25). FAs and eicosanoids: FFAs were extracted essentially as previously described after supplementation with deuterated internal standards (Cayman Chemicals) (26, 27). Eicosanoids were isolated via solid phase extraction, utilizing 25 deuterated internal standards (28, 29). Sterols and oxysterols: Sterols and oxysterols were extracted using previously described methods (30). Neutral lipids: Cholesteryl esters (CEs), TAGs, and DAGs were extracted from weighed liver tissue (0.5-1 mg) suspended in 0.5 ml PBS that had been homogenized by sonication. Extractions of plasma (0.05 ml diluted to 0.1 ml with PBS), urine (1 ml), and tissue sonicates were carried out using 1 ml hexane:methyl t-butyl ether (1:1, v/v), essentially as previously described (31). Sphingolipids: Sphingolipids from liver, plasma, and urine were extracted following previously published procedures (32, 33), with the exception that methylene chloride was substituted for chloroform for the single-phase extraction of sphingoid bases. 20.
