| Study Title | A pilot metabolomics study across the continuum of interstitial lung disease fibrosis severity |
| Study Type | Cross-sectional |
| Study Summary | Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) include a variety of inflammatory and fibrotic pulmonary conditions. This study employs high-resolution metabolomics (HRM) to explore plasma metabolites and pathways across ILD phenotypes, including non-fibrotic ILD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), and non-IPF fibrotic ILD. The study used 80 plasma samples for HRM, and involved linear trend and group-wise analyses of metabolites altered in ILD phenotypes. We utilized limma one-way ANOVA and mummichog algorithms to identify differences in metabolites and pathways across ILD groups. Then, we focused on metabolites within critical pathways, indicated by high pathway overlap sizes and low p-values, for further analysis. Targeted HRM identified putrescine, hydroxyproline, prolyl-hydroxyproline, aspartate, and glutamate with significant linear increases in more fibrotic ILD phenotypes, suggesting their role in ILD fibrogenesis. Untargeted HRM highlighted pathway alterations in lysine, vitamin D3, tyrosine, and urea cycle metabolism, all associated with pulmonary fibrosis. In addition, methylparaben level had a significantly increasing linear trend and was higher in the IPF than fibrotic and non-ILD groups. This study highlights the importance of specific amino acids, metabolic pathways, and xenobiotics in the progression of pulmonary fibrosis. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO004172 |
| Collection Summary: | Whole blood samples were obtained from patients during the clinical visit and then separated into plasma, which was stored at −80°C until future analyses. |
| Sample Type: | Blood (plasma) |
| Storage Conditions: | -80℃ |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR004188 |
| Treatment Summary: | Observational study. Samples were received frozen in aliquouts of <250uL. Prior to analysis, samples were thawed and prepared for HRM analysis using the standard protocols described in the Sample Preparation section. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP004185 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Samples were prepared for metabolomics analysis using established methods(Johnson et al. (2010). Analyst; Go et al. (2015). Tox Sci). Prior to analysis, plasma aliquots were removed from storage at -80 degrees C and thawed on ice. Each cryotube was then vortexed briefly to ensure homogeneity, and 50 microliters was transferred to a clean microfuge tube. Immediately after, the plasma was treated with 100 microliters of ice-cold LC-MS grade acetonitrile (Sigma Aldrich) containing 2.5 microliters of internal standard solution with eight stable isotopic chemicals selected to cover a range of chemical properties. Following addition of acetonitrile, urine was equilibrated for 30 min on ice, upon which precipitated proteins were removed by centrifuge (14,000 rpm at 4 degrees C for 10 min). The resulting supernatant (100 microliters) was removed, added to a low volume autosampler vial and maintained at 4 degrees C until analysis (<22 h). |

| Chromatography Summary: | The HILIC column is operated parallel to reverse phase column for simultaneous analytical separation and column flushing through the use of a dual head HPLC pump equipped with 10- port and 6-port switching valves. During operation of HILIC separation method, the MS is operated in positive ion mode and 10 μL of sample is injected onto the HILIC column while the reverse phase column is flushing with wash solution. Flow rate is maintained at 0.35 mL/min until 1.5 min, increased to 0.4 mL/min at 4 min and held for 1 min. Solvent A is 100% LC-MS grade water, solvent B is 100% LC-MS grade acetonitrile and solvent C is 2% formic acid (v/v) in LC-MS grade water. Initial mobile phase conditions are 22.5% A, 75% B, 2.5% C hold for 1.5 min, with linear gradient to 77.5% A, 20% B, 2.5% C at 4 min, hold for 1 min, resulting in a total analytical run time of 5 min. During the flushing phase (reverse phase analytical separation), the HILIC column is equilibrated with a wash solution of 77.5% A, 20% B, 2.5% C. |
