Definition: Development of Comprehensive Tools for Metabolic
Analysis of Cultured Cells, Animal Models, and Clinical
Samples,via…
“Targeted” MS Methods
• GC/MS and MS/MS for “targeted” analysis. Current
capability, 250 metabolites in 9 classes (free fatty acids,
total fatty acids, LC acyl CoAs, SC acyl CoAs, acyl carnitines,
organic acids, amino acids, purine precursors/nucleotides,
ceramides/sphingolipids)
• Modules for sterols, phospholipids, and eicosanoids in
development
“Non-Targeted” MS Methods
• ~1000 compound spectral library developed (with Agilent,
Oliver Fiehn, UC Davis) for non-targeted GC/MS
• LC-MS/MS for non-targeted analysis of thousands of
metabolites/sample
Uses of comprehensive metabolic profiling tools
(metabolomics)
 Metabolic signatures of human disease states,
including obesity, type 2 diabetes, CVD
 Hypothesis generation engine for mechanistic
studies in cells and animal models
 Integration of metabolomics with other “omics”
sciences (genomics, transcriptomics) for
identification of novel regulatory pathways
 Use of non-targeted metabolomics for discovery
applications

Important Questions
 Are BCAA predictive of disease or intervention
outcomes?
 Are BCAA responsive to our best current
diabetes/obesity interventions?
 Do increased BCAA and metabolites contribute to
development of insulin resistance?
 What are the mechanisms for increased circulating
BCAA?

Diet
Rats fed HF/BCAA are insulin resistant
despite normal body weight
Newgard CB, et al. Cell Metabolism, 2009
HF + BCAA feeding induces acylcarnitine
accumulation despite lower rate of food intake
Does this mean that BCAA restriction might
improve insulin sensitivity?
 Feed Zucker-obese or Zucker-lean rats on
standard chow, or standard chow with 45%
depletion of BCAA in diet (not growth limiting)
 Assess insulin sensitivity and metabolic profiles
after 10 weeks of feeding

Why are Aromatic Amino Acids Always
Part of the BCAA-related Metabolite
Signature?
Hypothesis: The BCAA/aromatic amino acid metabolic
signature provides a clue to the mechanism underlying the
association of obesity with behavioral disorders (anxiety,
depression)

Metabolomic Profiling in CATHGEN
– Study 1
• Subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to raceand sex-matched controls, index and validation cohorts.
– Study 2
• CAD cases who experienced CV events (MI, CV-related death
within 2 yr. of follow up) and controls with no events; index and
validation cohorts.
– Study 3
• Nested prospective study of 2023 consecutive subjects
undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization, with CV events as
outcome.
– Study 4
• Adverse outcomes in 478 subjects that underwent coronary
artery bypass surgery (CABG).

Ongoing Studies
Study Population: N=3500 from CATHGEN
biorepository, 70% with CAD, 29% with T2D
• All 3500 have targeted, quantitative
metabolomic profling
•
• All have GWAS (Illumina Omni chip) genotyping
completed
•
• All have peripheral blood gene expression
profiling (Illumina microarray)
Allows analysis of genetic architecture underlying
metabolic variability in this population
