Cerebrospinal Fluid Amino Acid Metabolite Signatures of Diabetic Cognitive Dysfunction Based on Targeted Mass Spectrometry.
Journal of Alzheimer's disease(2022)
摘要
Background: Diabetic cognitive dysfunction (DCD) is one of severe diabetic complications and might develop to irreversible dementia. Early diagnosis and detection of DCD is significant for prevention and treatment. Objective: The main objective of this study was to investigate the amino acid profiles of rat with DCD in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to distinguish the early specific biomarkers. Methods: In total, rats were assigned into control and model groups. Model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The Morris water maze (MWM) method was used to evaluate learning and memory in rats on the 13th week after the model established. CSF samples were collected via cisterna magna puncture at the 0th, 5th, 9th, and 13th week, and amino acids profiling of CSF samples were performed via ultra performance liquid chromatography multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (UPLC-MRM-MS). The amino acid profile was processed through multivariate analysis to identify potential biomarkers, and the related metabolic pathways were analyzed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0. Results: Compared to the control group, the escape latency of the MWM was significantly prolonged in model group rats (p < 0.05). Different amino acid profiles were obtained between two groups. L-Alanine, L-Glutamine, L-Lysine, L-Serine, and L-Threonine were identified as potential biomarkers for DCD. These biomarkers are principally involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, and glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism. Conclusion: There are amino acid biomarkers in the CSF of rat with DCD. The mechanism of DCD is related to those pathways, which provide help for the early diagnosis and treatment and mechanism research.
