Advancing Cancer Treatment by Targeting Glutamine Metabolism—A Roadmap
2022
Cancers
Tumor growth and metastasis strongly depend on adapted cell metabolism. Cancer cells adjust their metabolic program to their specific energy needs and in response to an often challenging tumor microenvironment. Glutamine metabolism is one of the metabolic pathways that can be successfully targeted in cancer treatment. The dependence of many hematological and solid tumors on glutamine is associated with mitochondrial glutaminase (GLS) activity that enables channeling of glutamine into the

... oxylic acid (TCA) cycle, generation of ATP and NADPH, and regulation of glutathione homeostasis and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Small molecules that target glutamine metabolism through inhibition of GLS therefore simultaneously limit energy availability and increase oxidative stress. However, some cancers can reprogram their metabolism to evade this metabolic trap. Therefore, the effectiveness of treatment strategies that rely solely on glutamine inhibition is limited. In this review, we discuss the metabolic and molecular pathways that are linked to dysregulated glutamine metabolism in multiple cancer types. We further summarize and review current clinical trials of glutaminolysis inhibition in cancer patients. Finally, we put into perspective strategies that deploy a combined treatment targeting glutamine metabolism along with other molecular or metabolic pathways and discuss their potential for clinical applications.

SGI: Automatic clinical subgroup identification in omics datasets
2021
Bioinformatics
The 'Subgroup Identification' (SGI) toolbox provides an algorithm to automatically detect clinical subgroups of samples in large-scale omics datasets. It is based on hierarchical clustering trees in combination with a specifically designed association testing and visualization framework that can process an arbitrary number of clinical parameters and outcomes in a systematic fashion. A multi-block extension allows for the simultaneous use of multiple omics datasets on the same samples. In this

Genomic Correlates of Hyperthermostability, an Update
2003
Journal of Biological Chemistry
It has been shown (Cambillau, C., and Claverie, J. M. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 32383-32386) that a large difference between the proportions of charged versus polar (non-charged) amino acids (CvP-bias) was an adequate, if empirical, signature of the proteome of hyperthermophilic organisms (T growth >80°C). Since that study, the number of available microbial genomes has more than doubled, raising the possibility that the simple CvP-bias rule might no longer hold. Taking advantage of the new

... ence data, we re-analyzed the genomes of 9 fully sequenced thermophiles, 9 hyperthermophiles, and 53 mesothermophile microorganisms to identify the genomic correlates of hyperthermostability on a wider data set. Our new results confirm that the CvP-bias previously identified on a much smaller data set still holds. Moreover, we show that it is an optimal criterion, in the sense that it corresponds to the most discriminating factor between hyperthermophilic and mesothermophilic microorganisms in a principal component analysis. In parallel, we evaluated two other recently proposed correlates of hyperthermostability, the proteome average pI and the dinucleotide statistical index (We show that the CvP-bias is the sole criterion that is able to clearly discriminate hyperthermophile from mesothermophile microorganisms on a global genomic basis.

Metabolic dysregulations of cancer cells with metastatic potential
[article]
2021
bioRxiv
pre-print
Metastasis is the primary cause of cancer related deaths due to the limited number of efficient druggable targets. Signatures of dysregulated cancer metabolism could serve as a roadmap for the determination of new treatment strategies, given their vital role in cancer cell responses to multiple challenges, including nutrient and oxygen availability. However, the metabolic signatures of metastatic cells remain vastly elusive. We conducted untargeted metabolic profiling of cells and growth media

... f five selected triple negative breast cancer cell lines with high metastatic potential (HMP) (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-436, MDA-MB-468) and low metastatic potential (LMP) (BT549, HCC1143). We identified 92 metabolites in cells and 22 in growth medium that display significant differences between LMP and HMP. The HMP cell lines had elevated level of molecules involved in glycolysis, TCA cycle and lipid metabolism. We identified metabolic advantages of cell lines with HMP beyond enhanced glycolysis by pinpointing the role of branched chain amino acids (BCAA) catabolism as well as molecules supporting coagulation and platelet activation as important contributors to the metastatic cascade. The landscape of metabolic dysregulations, characterized in our study, could serve in the future as a roadmap for the identification of treatment strategies targeting cancer cells with enhanced metastatic potential.

Procedia Computer Science
The development of the 'omics' technologies such as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics has made it possible to realize some of the goals of systems biology, where biological systems are interrogated at different levels of biochemical activity (such as gene expression, protein activity and/or metabolite concentration). Metabolomics deals with the metabolome that represents the complete set of small-molecule metabolites. Even though metabolomics can be thought of as a relatively young

... thod, it is nevertheless a rapidly growing one that has the potential to reveal the molecular mechanism of certain diseases. H1 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is commonly used in the metabolic profiling of biofluids as it has the potential to detect all proton-containing metabolites. Metabolites in biofluids are in dynamic equilibrium with those in cells and tissues, so their metabolic profile reflects changes in the state of an organism due to disease or environmental effects. Results: MetFlexo is as an easy-to-use C package that allows the simulation of datasets of 1 H-NMR spectra in order to test data analysis techniques, hypotheses and experimental designs. The idea is based on transforming statistical parameters of metabolites (shifts, couplings, concentrations and magnetic field) to an NMR spectrum using chemical-physics theory. Our method helps in the deconvolution of NMR spectra and in a better determination of metabolite concentrations, as these concentrations are key in detecting diseases and abnormalities. Unlike others, this program generates NMR spectrum of biofluids with no limit on magnetic field or pH. Thus, our approach is able to produce complex NMR profiles with flexible conditions. It is also simple to implement in C, requires small storage, is easy to compute and uses an independent platform. It will be available in R and MATLAB soon. The algorithm is freely available upon request to the corresponding author.
PopPAnTe: population and pedigree association testing for quantitative data
[article]
2016

Family-based designs, from twin studies to isolated populations with their complex genealogical data, are a valuable resource for genetic studies of heritable molecular biomarkers. Existing software for family-based studies have mainly focused on facilitating association between response phenotypes and genetic markers, and no user-friendly tools are at present available to straightforwardly extend association studies in related samples to large datasets of generic quantitative data, as those

... erated by current -omics technologies. We developed PopPAnTe, a user-friendly Java program, which evaluates the association of quantitative data in related samples. Additionally, PopPAnTe implements data pre and post processing, region based testing, and empirical assessment of associations. PopPAnTe is an integrated and flexible framework for pairwise association testing in related samples with a large number of predictors and response variables. It works either with family data of any size and complexity, or, when the genealogical information is unknown, it uses genetic similarity information between individuals as those inferred from genome-wide genetic data. It can therefore be particularly useful in facilitating usage of biobank data collections from population isolates when extensive genealogical information is missing.
Determination of strongly overlapping signaling activity from microarray data
2006
BMC Bioinformatics
As numerous diseases involve errors in signal transduction, modern therapeutics often target proteins involved in cellular signaling. Interpretation of the activity of signaling pathways during disease development or therapeutic intervention would assist in drug development, design of therapy, and target identification. Microarrays provide a global measure of cellular response, however linking these responses to signaling pathways requires an analytic approach tuned to the underlying biology.

... ongoing issue in pattern recognition in microarrays has been how to determine the number of patterns (or clusters) to use for data interpretation, and this is a critical issue as measures of statistical significance in gene ontology or pathways rely on proper separation of genes into groups. Here we introduce a method relying on gene annotation coupled to decompositional analysis of global gene expression data that allows us to estimate specific activity on strongly coupled signaling pathways and, in some cases, activity of specific signaling proteins. We demonstrate the technique using the Rosetta yeast deletion mutant data set, decompositional analysis by Bayesian Decomposition, and annotation analysis using ClutrFree. We determined from measurements of gene persistence in patterns across multiple potential dimensionalities that 15 basis vectors provides the correct dimensionality for interpreting the data. Using gene ontology and data on gene regulation in the Saccharomyces Genome Database, we identified the transcriptional signatures of several cellular processes in yeast, including cell wall creation, ribosomal disruption, chemical blocking of protein synthesis, and, critically, individual signatures of the strongly coupled mating and filamentation pathways. This works demonstrates that microarray data can provide downstream indicators of pathway activity either through use of gene ontology or transcription factor databases. This can be used to investigate the specificity and success of targeted therapeutics as well as to elucidate signaling activity in normal and disease processes.
Variational autoencoders learn universal latent representations of metabolomics data
[article]
2021

Dimensionality reduction approaches are commonly used for the deconvolution of high-dimensional metabolomics datasets into underlying core metabolic processes. However, current state-of-the-art methods are widely incapable of detecting nonlinearities in metabolomics data. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) are a deep learning method designed to learn nonlinear latent representations which generalize to unseen data. Here, we trained a VAE on a large-scale metabolomics population cohort of human

... d samples consisting of over 4,500 individuals. We analyzed the pathway composition of the latent space using a global feature importance score, which showed that latent dimensions represent distinct cellular processes. To demonstrate model generalizability, we generated latent representations of unseen metabolomics datasets on type 2 diabetes, schizophrenia, and acute myeloid leukemia and found significant correlations with clinical patient groups. Taken together, we demonstrate for the first time that the VAE is a powerful method that learns biologically meaningful, nonlinear, and universal latent representations of metabolomics data.
MoDentify: a tool for phenotype-driven module identification in multilevel metabolomics networks

Summary: Metabolomics is an established tool to gain insights into (patho)physiological outcomes. Associations of metabolism with such outcomes are expected to span functional modules, which are defined as sets of correlating metabolites that are coordinately regulated. Moreover, these associations occur at different scales, from entire pathways to only a few metabolites, which is an aspect that has not been addressed by previous methods.

Moreover, the package offers direct visualization of results as interactive networks in Cytoscape. We present an application example using a complex, multifluid metabolomics dataset. Owing to its generic character, the method is widely applicable to any dataset with a phenotype variable, a data matrix, and optional pathway annotations. Availability and Implementation: MoDentify is freely available from GitHub: https://github.com/krumsiek/MoDentify. The package vignette contains a detailed tutorial of the analysis workflow.
