#METABOLOMICS WORKBENCH amaynard_20231219_200831 DATATRACK_ID:4543 STUDY_ID:ST003023 ANALYSIS_ID:AN004957 PROJECT_ID:PR001773 VERSION 1 CREATED_ON December 19, 2023, 8:12 pm #PROJECT PR:PROJECT_TITLE Folate depletion induces erythroid differentiation through perturbation of de PR:PROJECT_TITLE novo purine synthesis PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY Folate, an essential vitamin, is a one-carbon acceptor and donor in key PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolic reactions. Erythroid cells harbor a unique sensitivity to folate PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY deprivation, as revealed by the primary pathological manifestation of PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY nutritional folate deprivation: megaloblastic anemia. To study this metabolic PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY sensitivity, we applied mild folate depletion to human and mouse erythroid cell PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY lines, and primary murine erythroid progenitors. We show that folate depletion PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY induces early blockade of purine synthesis and accumulation of the purine PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY synthesis intermediate and signaling molecule, AICAR, followed by enhanced heme PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY metabolism, hemoglobin synthesis, and erythroid differentiation. This is PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY phenocopied by inhibition of folate metabolism using the SHMT1/2 inhibitor - PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY SHIN1, and by AICAR supplementation. Mechanistically, the metabolically-driven PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY differentiation is independent of nucleotide sensing through mTORC1 and AMPK, PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY and is instead mediated by protein kinase C (PKC). Our findings suggest that PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY folate deprivation-induced premature differentiation of erythroid progenitor PR:PROJECT_SUMMARY cells is a molecular etiology to folate-deficiency induced anemia.

These samples were followed up by metabolomics targeting TR:TREATMENT_SUMMARY porphyrin metabolites. #SAMPLEPREP SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY One million cells from culture were collected via centrifugation, washed with SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 0.9% NaCl, and resuspended in 150 µl of porphyrin extraction buffer (1:4 ratio SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY of 1.7 M HCl:ACN, 1µM deuteroporphyrin IX (Frontier Scientific, D510-9)) and SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 0.5 µM isotopically labeled amino acids (Cambridge Isotopes, MSK-A2-1.2)). SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY Samples were vigorously shaken for 20 min at 16ºC in a thermomixer (Eppendorf), SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY sonicated for 10 cycles at 4ºC with 30 sec on and 30 sec off, then incubated at SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 4ºC for 10 min. Following incubation on ice, samples were centrifuged for 10 SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY minutes at 18,000g to pellet cell debris. The supernatant was collected and 40.5 SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY µl super-saturated MgSO4 and 12 µl 5 M NaCl were added. Samples were vortexed SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY for 30 sec and further shaken for 10 min at 16 ºC in a thermomixer. Finally, a SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY 10 min 10,000 rpm centrifugation was used to separate the organic layer (upper) SP:SAMPLEPREP_SUMMARY from the aqueous layer (lower). The upper organic layer was collected. #CHROMATOGRAPHY CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY Sample (5 uL) was injected onto a 2.6 μm, 150 x 3 mm C18 column (Phenomenex, CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY 00F-4462-Y0) equipped with a 3.0 mm safe-guard column (Phenomenex, AJ0-8775). CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY Column compartment was heated to 45 ºC. Porphyrins were separated with a CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY chromatographic gradient at a flow rate of 0.800 ml min−1 as follows: CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY 0–2 min: 5% B; 2-19min: linear gradient from 5% to 95% B; 19-21min: 95% B; CH:CHROMATOGRAPHY_SUMMARY 21.1-23min: return to 5% B.
