Article Abstract

Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) is a multifactorial endemic disease that only occurs in specific Asian areas. Mycotoxin contamination, especially from the spp., has been considered as one of the environmental risk factors that could provoke chondrocyte and cartilage damage. This study aimed to investigate whether new mycotoxins could be identified in KBD-endemic regions as a potential KBD risk factor. This was investigated on 292 barley samples collected in Tibet during 2009-2016 and 19 wheat samples collected in Inner Mongolia in 2006, as control, from KBD-endemic and non-endemic areas. The LC-HRMS(/MS) data, obtained by a general mycotoxin extraction technic, were interpreted by both untargeted metabolomics and molecular networks, allowing us to identify a discriminating compound, enniatin B, a mycotoxin produced by some spp. The presence of spp. DNA was detected in KBD-endemic area barley samples. Further studies are required to investigate the role of this mycotoxin in KBD development in vivo.

Millions of people worldwide are exposed to environmental arsenic in drinking water, resulting in both malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Interestingly, early life exposure by itself is sufficient to produce higher incidences of these diseases later in life. Based on the delayed onset of disease, we hypothesized that early life arsenic exposure would also induce long-term alterations in the metabolic profile.

Di-isobutyl phthalate (DiBP), a member of the phthalate esters, is frequently used in manufacturing consumer and industrial products as plasticizer to improve durability and flexibility. Despite much research, little is known about the direct mechanisms by which DiBP harms the male reproductive system. In the present study, a male ICR mice model was developed to investigate the reproductive effect and mechanism of DiBP exposure, followed by transcriptomics, non-targeted metabolome, and 16S rDNA sequencing accordingly.

Purpose: NOTCH3 is increasingly implicated for its oncogenic role in many malignancies, including meningiomas. While prior work has linked NOTCH3 expression to higher-grade meningiomas and treatment resistance, the metabolic phenotype of NOTCH3 activation remains unexplored in meningioma.

Methods: We performed single-cell RNA sequencing on NOTCH3 + human meningioma cell lines.

Pu-erh raw tea (PRT), a post-fermented tea, is prized for its complex flavor profile and health-promoting properties. While extended storage enhances its sensory attributes, the decade-scale metabolic dynamics underpinning flavor evolution remain unexplored. This study comprehensively characterized non-volatile metabolomic profiles and flavor changes in PRT across a 10-year storage period (2012-2023).
