Abstract

Objectives:The burden of metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is rising mirrored by an increase in hepatocellular cancer (HCC). MAFLD and its sequelae are characterised by perturbations in lipid handling, inflammation and mitochondrial damage. The profile of circulating lipid and small molecule metabolites with the development of HCC is poorly characterized in MAFLD and could be used in future studies as a biomarker for HCC. Design:We assessed the profile of 273 lipid and small molecule metabolites by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS) in serum from patients with MAFLD (n=113) and MAFLD-associated HCC (n = 144) from six different centres. Regression models were used to identify a predictive model of HCC using minimal circulating features. Results:Twenty lipid species and one metabolite, reflecting changes in mitochondrial function and sphingolipid metabolism, successfully predicted the presence of cancer on a background of MAFLD with high accuracy (AUC 0.789), which was enhanced with the addition of cirrhosis to the model (AUC 0.855). In particular, the presence of these metabolites was associated with cirrhosis in the MAFLD subgroup (p

Abstract

Summary: Background: Dexamethasone was the first intervention proven to reduce mortality in patients with COVID-19 being treated in hospital. We aimed to evaluate the adoption of corticosteroids in the treatment of COVID-19 in the UK after the RECOVERY trial publication on June 16, 2020, and to identify discrepancies in care. Methods: We did an audit of clinical implementation of corticosteroids in a prospective, observational, cohort study in 237 UK acute care hospitals between March 16, 2020, and April 14, 2021, restricted to patients aged 18 years or older with proven or high likelihood of COVID-19, who received supplementary oxygen. The primary outcome was administration of dexamethasone, prednisolone, hydrocortisone, or methylprednisolone. This study is registered with ISRCTN, ISRCTN66726260. Findings: Between June 17, 2020, and April 14, 2021, 47 795 (75·2%) of 63 525 of patients on supplementary oxygen received corticosteroids, higher among patients requiring critical care than in those who received ward care (11 185 [86·6%] of 12 909 vs 36 415 [72·4%] of 50 278). Patients 50 years or older were significantly less likely to receive corticosteroids than those younger than 50 years (adjusted odds ratio 0·79 [95% CI 0·70–0·89], p=0·0001, for 70–79 years; 0·52 [0·46–0·58], p80 years), independent of patient demographics and illness severity. 84 (54·2%) of 155 pregnant women received corticosteroids. Rates of corticosteroid administration increased from 27·5% in the week before June 16, 2020, to 75–80% in January, 2021. Interpretation: Implementation of corticosteroids into clinical practice in the UK for patients with COVID-19 has been successful, but not universal. Patients older than 70 years, independent of illness severity, chronic neurological disease, and dementia, were less likely to receive corticosteroids than those who were younger, as were pregnant women. This could reflect appropriate clinical decision making, but the possibility of inequitable access to life-saving care should be considered.

Abstract

Summary: We identify amino acid variants within dominant SARS-CoV-2 T cell epitopes by interrogating global sequence data. Several variants within nucleocapsid and ORF3a epitopes have arisen independently in multiple lineages and result in loss of recognition by epitope-specific T cells assessed by IFN-γ and cytotoxic killing assays. Complete loss of T cell responsiveness was seen due to Q213K in the A∗01:01-restricted CD8+ ORF3a epitope FTSDYYQLY207-215; due to P13L, P13S, and P13T in the B∗27:05-restricted CD8+ nucleocapsid epitope QRNAPRITF9-17; and due to T362I and P365S in the A∗03:01/A∗11:01-restricted CD8+ nucleocapsid epitope KTFPPTEPK361-369. CD8+ T cell lines unable to recognize variant epitopes have diverse T cell receptor repertoires. These data demonstrate the potential for T cell evasion and highlight the need for ongoing surveillance for variants capable of escaping T cell as well as humoral immunity.

Abstract

To assess their roles in breast cancer diagnostics, we aimed to compare plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA) levels with the circulating metabolome in a large breast screening cohort of women recalled for mammography, including healthy women and women with mammographically detected breast diseases, ductal carcinoma in situ and invasive breast cancer: the Breast Screening and Monitoring Study (BSMS). In 999 women, plasma was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-MS) and then processed to isolate and quantify total cfDNA. NMR and UPLC-MS results were compared with data for 186 healthy women derived from the AIRWAVE cohort. Results showed no significant differences between groups for all metabolites, whereas invasive cancers had significantly higher plasma cfDNA levels than all other groups. When stratified the supervised OPLS-DA analysis and total cfDNA concentration showed high discrimination accuracy between invasive cancers and the disease/medication-free subjects. Furthermore, comparison of OPLS-DA data for invasive breast cancers with the AIRWAVE cohort showed similar discrimination between breast cancers and healthy controls. This is the first report of agreement between metabolomics and plasma cfDNA levels for discriminating breast cancer from healthy subjects in a true screening population. It also emphasizes the importance of sample standardization. Follow on studies will involve analysis of candidate features in a larger validation series as well as comparing results with serial plasma samples taken at the next routine screening mammography appointment. The findings here help establish the role of plasma analysis in the diagnosis of breast cancer in a large real-world cohort.

Background: Most studies of immunity to SARS-CoV-2 focus on circulating antibody, giving limited insights into mucosal defences that prevent viral replication and onward transmission. We studied nasal and plasma antibody responses one year after hospitalisation for COVID-19, including a period when SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was introduced. Methods: In this follow up study, plasma and nasosorption samples were prospectively collected from 446 adults hospitalised for COVID-19 between February 2020 and March 2021 via the ISARIC4C and PHOSP-COVID consortia. IgA and IgG responses to NP and S of ancestral SARS-CoV-2, Delta and Omicron (BA.1) variants were measured by electrochemiluminescence and compared with plasma neutralisation data. Findings: Strong and consistent nasal anti-NP and anti-S IgA responses were demonstrated, which remained elevated for nine months (p < 0.0001). Nasal and plasma anti-S IgG remained elevated for at least 12 months (p < 0.0001) with plasma neutralising titres that were raised against all variants compared to controls (p < 0.0001). Of 323 with complete data, 307 were vaccinated between 6 and 12 months; coinciding with rises in nasal and plasma IgA and IgG anti-S titres for all SARS-CoV-2 variants, although the change in nasal IgA was minimal (1.46-fold change after 10 months, p = 0.011) and the median remained below the positive threshold determined by pre-pandemic controls. Samples 12 months after admission showed no association between nasal IgA and plasma IgG anti-S responses (R = 0.05, p = 0.18), indicating that nasal IgA responses are distinct from those in plasma and minimally boosted by vaccination. Interpretation: The decline in nasal IgA responses 9 months after infection and minimal impact of subsequent vaccination may explain the lack of long-lasting nasal defence against reinfection and the limited effects of vaccination on transmission. These findings highlight the need to develop vaccines that enhance nasal immunity. Funding: This study has been supported by ISARIC4C and PHOSP-COVID consortia.

Abstract

On the 24th November 2021 the sequence of a new SARS CoV-2 viral isolate Omicron-B.1.1.529 was announced, containing far more mutations in Spike (S) than previously reported variants. Neutralization titres of Omicron by sera from vaccinees and convalescent subjects infected with early pandemic as well as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta are substantially reduced or fail to neutralize. Titres against Omicron are boosted by third vaccine doses and are high in cases both vaccinated and infected by Delta. Mutations in Omicron knock out or substantially reduce neutralization by most of a large panel of potent monoclonal antibodies and antibodies under commercial development. Omicron S has structural changes from earlier viruses, combining mutations conferring tight binding to ACE2 to unleash evolution driven by immune escape, leading to a large number of mutations in the ACE2 binding site which rebalance receptor affinity to that of early pandemic viruses., A comprehensive analysis of sera from vaccinees, convalescent patients infected previously by multiple variants and potent monoclonal antibodies from early in the COVID-19 pandemic reveals a substantial overall reduction the ability to neutralize the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, which a third vaccine dose seems to ameliorate. Structural analyses of the Omicron RBD suggest a selective pressure enabling the virus bind ACE2 with increased affinity that is offset by other changes in the receptor binding motif that facilitates immune escape.

Abstract

Metabolomics utilising liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) offers biomedical researchers a powerful means of assessing and comparing human phenotypes via measurement of the metabolome in biological samples. Platforms for LC-MS-based global profiling quantify hundreds or thousands of small molecule metabolites and/or lipids using combinations of distinct methods and analyses to develop broad coverage of the metabolome with high analytical sensitivity and specificity. However, the breadth of coverage provided by global profiling assays still outpaces efforts to characterise them by annotating profile signals with their respective metabolite identities. Fully realising the utility of metabolomics in biomedical research requires closing this gap by more accurately defining the finite metabolome coverage provided by common LC-MS-based global profiling methods. To date, method characterisation activities have progressed in the absence of broadly accepted standard LC methods as parallel efforts at building in-house libraries. While methodological diversity is a natural consequence of different design constraints and priorities observed across laboratories, it does tend to relegate in-house libraries to silos of information and investment that fail to advance the broader metabolomics community. Here, the National Phenome Centre’s established platform for LC-MS-based global profiling of small molecule metabolites and lipids is made open in its entirety. Complete and detailed protocols for reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography LC-MS methods are offered alongside discussion of the rationale for their design specifics. In addition to the formal protocols used routinely within the Centre, the reader is provided with notes for replication and adaptation of the methodology, as well as guidance on the preparation of biofluid samples to ensure their suitability for the analytical platform. The Centre’s accompanying open-source software for data extraction and pre-processing is also reviewed, and finally the method-specific identity of more than 700 small molecule and lipid species is disclosed. We hope that the substantial annotation information is useful to metabolomics practitioners of all experience levels and promotes the subsequent disclosure and constructive comparison (e.g. for validation and collective growth) of other in-house libraries and their associated methods. For interdisciplinary research teams looking to introduce LC-MS based metabolomics to their biomedical research programmes, we offer the open platform as a turnkey solution and welcome the growth in collective knowledge that may arise from its implementation in others’ hands.

Abstract

BackgroundCOVID-19 is a multi-system disease and patients who survive may experience in-hospital complications. These complications are likely to have important short and long-term consequences for patients, healthcare utilisation, healthcare system preparedness, and society amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim was to characterise the extent and impact of COVID-19 complications, particularly in those who survive using the International Severe Acute Respiratory and emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC) WHO Clinical Characterisation Protocol UK (CCP-UK).MethodsA multicentre, prospective cohort study in 302 UK healthcare facilities of adults hospitalised with COVID-19 between 17th January and 4th August 2020. Complications were defined as organ specific diagnoses occurring alone or in addition to any hallmarks of COVID-19 illness. Outcomes included death, critical care use, and ability to self-care at hospital discharge. We used multilevel logistic regression and survival models to explore associations between these outcomes and in-hospital complications, age, and pre-existing comorbidities.ResultsOf patients admitted to hospital for management of COVID-19, 49.7% (36 367/73 197) experienced at least one complication. The mean age of our cohort was 71.1 years old (SD 18.7), included more males (56.0%, 41 025/73 ) with 81.0% (59 289/73 197) of patients having at least one comorbidity. Males over 60 were most likely to experience a complication (60 y and over, 54.5% [16 579/30 416] in males and 48.2% [11 707/24 288] in females; Under 60 y, 48.8% [5179/10 609] in males, 36.6% [2814/7689] in females). Renal (24.3%, 17 752/73 197), complex respiratory 18.4% (13 486/73 197), and systemic (16.3%, 11 895/73 197) complications were most frequent. Cardiovascular (12.3%, 8973/73 197), neurological (4.3%, 3115/73 197), and gastrointestinal/liver (0.8%, 7901/73 197) complications were also reported. The presence of any complication was associated with significantly worse survival (adjusted HR 1.74, 95% CI 1.64 to 1.84) and increased admission to critical care (adjusted OR 7.25, 95% CI 6.83 to 7.69). Reduced ability to self-care at discharge was significantly greater in patients who experienced a complication (adjusted OR 2.42, 95% CI 2.31 to 2.54) and was greatest in those who experienced neurological complications (adjusted OR 4.39, 95% CI 3.95 to 4.89). ConclusionsComplications and worse functional outcomes in patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19 are high, even in young, previously healthy individuals. Acute complications are associated with reduced ability to self-care at discharge, with neurological complications being associated with the worst functional outcomes. COVID-19 complications are likely to cause significant strain on health and social care in the coming years. These data will help in the design and provision of services aimed at the post-hospitalisation care of patients with COVID-19.

Abstract

Background and purpose Previous work has focussed on changes in drug metabolism caused by altered activity of CYP3A in the presence of inflammation and, in particular, inflammation associated with malignancy. However, drug metabolism involves a number of other P450s, and therefore, we assessed the effect of cancer-related inflammation on multiple CYP enzymes using a validated drug cocktail. Experimental approach Patients with advanced stage ovarian cancer and healthy volunteers were recruited. Participants received caffeine, chlorzoxazone, dextromethorphan, and omeprazole as in vivo probes for CYP1A2, CYP2E1, CYP2D6, CYP3A, and CYP2C19. Blood was collected for serum C-reactive protein and cytokine analysis. Key results CYP2E1 activity was markedly up-regulated in cancer (6-hydroxychlorzoxazone/chlorzoxazone ratio of 1.30 vs. 2.75), while CYP3A phenotypic activity was repressed in cancer (omeprazole sulfone/omeprazole ratio of 0.23 vs. 0.49). Increased activity of CYP2E1 was associated with raised serum levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Repression of CYP3A correlated with raised levels of serum C-reactive protein, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Conclusions and implications CYP enzyme activity is differentially affected by the presence of tumour-associated inflammation, affecting particularly CYP2E1- and CYP3A-mediated drug metabolism, and may have profound implications for drug development and prescribing in oncological settings.

Abstract

This chapter describes the conception of dedicated phenome centres for undertaking metabolic phenotyping studies. It describes the history of the first such major centre that was developed at Imperial College London for epidemiology studies as a legacy of the 2012 London Olympic Games, and the allied centre for clinical studies also at Imperial College. The operating and governance principles are described and some details are given of successfully implemented projects. The extension to an international network of phenome centres is also explained.

Abstract

Background Biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology and progression have now been identified across various modalities. The aims of the two studies presented (ANM-MMB and EMIF-AD biomarker discovery) are to discover and replicate previously identified biomarkers of disease pathology and progression, and moreover to determine whether a multimodal biomarker signature may add value in comparison to a biomarker of a single modality. Methods The ANM-MMB cohort is comprised of 718 AD, MCI converters and non-converters, and control subjects selected from the AddNeuroMed, Alzheimer’s research trust and Dementia case register cohorts. Cognitive measures, serum and urine metabolomics, structural MRI, genomics, whole blood transcriptomics and plasma proteomics data was available. The EMIF-AD biomarker discovery cohort consists of 1221 AD, MCI and control subjects, selected from the EMIF catalogue. All subjects had existing amyloid measures (CSF Aβ or amyloid-PET), structural MRI and clinical data, and furthermore plasma proteomics (targeted and untargeted), CSF proteomics (targeted), metabolomics, genomics and epigenetics data were generated. For both studies univariate and multivariate statistics were utilised to identify candidate biomarkers of AD pathology (neurodegeneration and/or brain amyloid burden), rates of cognitive decline, and MCI progression to dementia. pQTL-eQTL-mQTL analyses, network/pathway analysis, and multimodal classifiers were employed to detect multimodal signatures. Results Initial analyses indicate that in the ANM-MMB study a serum and urine derived 15 metabolite classifier predicts MCI progression to AD with 72% accuracy, and the biological significance of the metabolites included in the biomarker panel was identified. Further analyses will examine whether a multimodal classifier is able to predict with even greater accuracy. We will then seek to replicate this in the EMIF-AD biomarker discovery study. Further analyses will also examine single and multimodal biomarker classifiers of other endophenotypes. Conclusions These two studies could be used to identify novel and replicate previously identified single modality biomarker findings. Furthermore the impact of combining the additional modalities with these findings will be discussed. Computational and technical challenges encountered and the bioinformatics pipeline devised in the multimodal analysis of the ANM-MMB cohort will be used to inform the analysis pipeline of the EMIF-AD biomarker discovery study as a replication.

Abstract

Despite major advancements in the clinical management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the natural history of this disease is characterized by an invariably poor prognosis. However, there are significant interindividual variations in the biologic behavior of this tumor and this combined with the confounding effect of liver function on patient survival makes prognostic prediction particularly difficult. Several studies have attempted to investigate the prognostic role of tissue biomarkers to better understand the molecular basis of HCC progression. These studies have looked at several aspects of cancer biology including proliferative potential, invasive capacity, and angiogenic promotion utilizing different methodologies. The aim of this review is to summarize the role of tissue biomarkers in the prognostic prediction of HCC and to outline questions and strategies in the prognostic assessment of HCC.
