Metabolomics has been successfully applied to study neurological and neurodegenerative disorders including Parkinson's disease for (1) the identification of potential biomarkers of onset and disease progression; (2) the identification of novel mechanisms of disease progression; and (3) the assessment of treatment prognosis and outcome. Reproducible and efficient extraction of metabolites is imperative to the success of any metabolomics investigation. Unlike other omics techniques, the composition of the metabolome can be negatively impacted by the preparation, processing, and handling of these samples. The proper choice of data collection, preprocessing, and processing protocols is similarly important to the design of an effective metabolomics experiment. Likewise, the correct application of univariate and multivariate statistical methods is essential for providing biologically relevant insights. In this chapter, we have outlined a detailed metabolomics workflow that addresses all of these issues. A step-by-step protocol from the preparation of neuronal cells and metabolomic tissue samples to their metabolic analyses using nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and chemometrics is presented.
代谢组学已成功应用于研究包括帕金森病在内的神经和神经退行性疾病,用于:(1)识别发病和疾病进展的潜在生物标志物;(2)识别疾病进展的新机制;以及(3)评估治疗预后和结果。可重复且高效地提取代谢物对于任何代谢组学研究的成功都至关重要。与其他组学技术不同,代谢组的组成可能会受到这些样品的制备、处理和操作的负面影响。正确选择数据收集、预处理和处理方案对于设计有效的代谢组学实验同样重要。同样,单变量和多变量统计方法的正确应用对于提供生物学相关见解至关重要。在本章中,我们概述了一个详细的代谢组学工作流程,该流程解决了所有这些问题。本文介绍了一个从神经元细胞和代谢组学组织样品的制备到使用核磁共振、质谱和化学计量学进行代谢分析的分步方案。
