| Project Title: | Advancing the Biochemical Understanding of Maple Syrup Urine Disease and the impact of liver transplantation: A Pilot Study |
| Project Summary: | Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by impaired catabolism of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), leading to severe systemic dysregulation. The disease has an incidence of approximately 1 in 185,000 live births in the general U.S. population, with much higher prevalence in the Mennonite communities (up to 1 in 140 live births in the latter due to the c.1312T>A p.Tyr438Asn BCKDHA founder mutation). Using a multi-omics approach integrating metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics, we analyzed blood samples from three MSUD patients on a BCAA-restricted diet, two post-liver transplantation patients, and six healthy controls. Gene ontology analysis highlighted enriched pathways in MSUD, including glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and purine metabolism, revealing systemic metabolic imbalances. Lipidomics indicated disruptions in sphingolipids and lysophosphatidylcholines, which impact cellular signaling and membrane integrity. Liver transplantation corrected some abnormalities, but several metabolites and proteins remained dysregulated. Proteomic analysis revealed significant alterations in redox homeostasis, energy metabolism, and cytoskeletal organization, with only partial recovery post-transplantation. Post-translational modifications, such as methylation and cysteine oxidation, suggested ongoing oxidative stress and immune activation in the LT group. Elevated levels of L-isoleucine, L-valine, and their ketoacids persisted post-transplant, correlating with impaired amino acid metabolism, lipid remodeling, and protein folding. These findings provide comprehensive insight into MSUD-associated metabolic dysfunctions and highlight potential therapeutic targets to improve patient outcomes. |

| Collection ID: | CO003919 |
| Collection Summary: | The study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki; specimens were collected at the Central Pennsylvania Clinic, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Lancaster General Hospitals under institutionally reviewed Protocol No. 2014-12 and upon signing of informed consent. Blood collections were carried out using standard equipment and clinical procedures. To study the metabolic changes occurring in patients with maple syrup urine disease, whole blood was collected from 3 patients having diagnosis of MSUD with a biallelic inactivating mutation of BCKDHA (c.1312T>A p.Tyr438Asn). Additional samples were collected from 6 healthy controls. Finally, samples were collected from two patients having a previous diagnosis of MSUD, but who had received liver transplantations to cure their condition. These two samples were combined 1:1, v:v, to generate a third replicate for statistical analysis. |
