ABSTRACT

Comprehensive metabolomic data can be achieved using multiple orthogonal separation and mass spectrometry (MS) analytical techniques. However, drawing biologically relevant conclusions from this data and combining it with additional layers of information collected by other omic technologies present a significant bioinformatic challenge. To address this, a data processing approach was designed to automate the comprehensive prediction of dysregulated metabolic pathways/networks from multiple data sources. The platform autonomously integrates multiple MS-based metabolomics data types without constraints due to different sample preparation/extraction, chromatographic separation, or MS detection method. This multimodal analysis streamlines the extraction of biological information from the metabolomics data as well as the contextualization within proteomics and transcriptomics data sets. As a proof of concept, this multimodal analysis approach was applied to a colorectal cancer (CRC) study, in which complementary liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data were combined with proteomic and transcriptomic data. Our approach provided a highly resolved overview of colon cancer metabolic dysregulation, with an average 17% increase of detected dysregulated metabolites per pathway and an increase in metabolic pathway prediction confidence. Moreover, 95% of the altered metabolic pathways matched with the dysregulated genes and proteins, providing additional validation at a systems level. The analysis platform is currently available via the XCMS Online ( XCMSOnline.scripps.edu ).

ABSTRACT

Active data screening is an integral part of many scientific activities, and mobile technologies have greatly facilitated this process by minimizing the reliance on large hardware instrumentation. In order to meet with the increasingly growing field of metabolomics and heavy workload of data processing, we designed the first remote metabolomic data screening platform for mobile devices. Two mobile applications (apps), XCMS Mobile and METLIN Mobile, facilitate access to XCMS and METLIN, which are the most important components in the computer-based XCMS Online platforms. These mobile apps allow for the visualization and analysis of metabolic data throughout the entire analytical process. Specifically, XCMS Mobile and METLIN Mobile provide the capabilities for remote monitoring of data processing, real time notifications for the data processing, visualization and interactive analysis of processed data (e.g., cloud plots, principle component analysis, box-plots, extracted ion chromatograms, and hierarchical cluster analysis), and database searching for metabolite identification. These apps, available on Apple iOS and Google Android operating systems, allow for the migration of metabolomic research onto mobile devices for better accessibility beyond direct instrument operation. The utility of XCMS Mobile and METLIN Mobile functionalities was developed and is demonstrated here through the metabolomic LC-MS analyses of stem cells, colon cancer, aging, and bacterial metabolism.
