#METABOLOMICS WORKBENCH sysu604_20230916_011055 DATATRACK_ID:4322 STUDY_ID:ST002918 ANALYSIS_ID:AN004788 PROJECT_ID:PR001799 VERSION 1 CREATED_ON September 27, 2023, 11:11 pm #PROJECT PR:PROJECT_TITLE Metabolic Profiling in mouse Infected with Vibrio parahaemolyticus PR:PROJECT_TYPE MS quantitative analysis PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Multidrug-resistant bacteria present a major threat to public health. Therefore, PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY new drugs or approaches are urgently needed to manage and mitigate this threat. PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Here, we screen the molecular candidates that allow the survival of mice upon PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY multidrug-resistant Vibrio parahaemolyticus infection by integrated proteomic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and metabolomics analysis, where L-Alanine metabolism and phagocytosis are PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY highly correlated. The role of L-Alanine on boosting mouse survival is further PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY confirmed with in vivo bacterial challenge studies on multidrug-resistant PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY bacteria including V. parahaemolyticus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae. Functional studies demonstrate that exogenous PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY L-Alanine promotes phagocytosis to these different species of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY multidrug-resistant pathogens. The underlying mechanism involves two events that PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY are L-Alanine-dependently increased TLR4 expression, and L-Alanine-enhanced TLR4 PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY signaling via increasing the biosynthesis and secretion of fatty acids such as PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY palmitate. Palmitate enhances the binding of LPS to TLR4 and thereby promotes PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY TLR4 dimmer formation and endocytosis for the subsequent activation of PI3K/Akt PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and NF-κB pathways and phagocytosis of bacteria. These results suggest that PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY modulation of metabolic environment is a plausible approach for combating PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY infection with multidrug-resistant bacteria.

ST:STUDY_SUMMARY parahaemolyticus, and control mice were injected with saline. Data were ST:STUDY_SUMMARY collected and analyzed using unsupervised hierarchical clustering. In general, ST:STUDY_SUMMARY the abundance of metabolites increased more often than it decreased in animals ST:STUDY_SUMMARY with higher resistance to infection. Load weight analysis of biological pathways ST:STUDY_SUMMARY suggested that alanine, aspartate, glutamate metabolism could play roles in the ST:STUDY_SUMMARY capacity of mice to survive infection with V. parahaemolyticus.
