Article Unraveling the Persistent Renal Impact of Intrauterine Growth Restriction and Catch-Up Growth: Integrating Morphological Insights with Metabolomic Profiling(Springer, 2025) Esrefoglu, Mukaddes; Koktasoglu, Fatmanur; Bayindir, Nihan; Cimen, Fatma Bedia Karakaya; Kirmizikan, Seda; Hekimoglu, Emine Rumeysa; Selek, SahabettinThe study aimed to investigate the long-term effects of IUGR and consequent catch-up growth on metabolic health by using a comprehensive approach that included histopathological, immunohistochemical, biochemical, and metabolomics analyses. Sprague-Dawley pregnant rats either undergo bilateral uterine artery ligation or a sham surgery on the 19th day of gestation. The offspring reached catch-up growth, kidney samples were collected at postnatal weeks 2, 4, and 8 for analysis. IUGR rats exhibited a spectrum of changes including reduced glomeruli number, proliferating cell number, altered oxidative stress markers, various enzymes involved in Krebs cycle, mitochondrial dynamics, and energy metabolism. Examination of the 8-week-old cohort identified a broader spectrum of metabolic alterations, notably in the biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, phenylalanine, tyrosine, glyoxylate, dicarboxylate, pyruvate, alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and citrate (TCA) cycle. Our metabolomics analysis provides insights into the potential disease susceptibility of individuals born with IUGR, including obesity, diabetes, hypertriglyceridemia, cardiovascular diseases, and mental retardation. These findings underscore the intricate interplay between intrauterine conditions and long-term metabolic health outcomes, highlighting the need for further investigation into preventive and therapeutic strategies to mitigate the risk of metabolic diseases in individuals with a history of IUGR.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Functional Groups Matter: Metabolomics Analysis of <i>escherichia Coli</I> Exposed To Trans-Cinnamic Acid and Its Derivatives Unveils Common and Unique Targets(Springer, 2024) Onat-Tasdelen, Kadriye Aslihan; Ozturkel-Kabakas, Hatice; Yuksektepe, Ecem; Catav, Sukru Serter; Guzel, Gulnur; Col, Bekir; Elgin, Emine SonayPhenolic acids are derivatives of benzoic and cinnamic acids, which possess important biological activities at certain concentrations. Trans-cinnamic acid (t-CA) and its derivatives, such as p-coumaric acid (p-CA) and ferulic acid (FA) have been shown to have antibacterial activity against various Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. However, there is limited information available concerning the antibacterial mode of action of these phenolic acids. In this study, we aimed to ascertain metabolic alterations associated with exposure to t-CA, p-CA, and FA in Escherichia coli BW25113 using a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics approach. The results showed that t-CA, p-CA, and FA treatments led to significant changes (p < 0.05) in the concentration of 42, 55, and 74% of the identified metabolites in E. coli, respectively. Partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) revealed a clear separation between control and phenolic acid groups with regard to metabolic response. Moreover, it was found that FA and p-CA treatment groups were clustered closely together but separated from the t-CA treatment group. Arginine, putrescine, cadaverine, galactose, and sucrose had the greatest impact on group differentiation. Quantitative pathway analysis demonstrated that arginine and proline, pyrimidine, glutathione, and galactose metabolisms, as well as aminoacyl-tRNA and arginine biosyntheses, were markedly affected by all phenolic acids. Finally, the H2O2 content of E. coli cells was significantly increased in response to t-CA and p-CA whereas all phenolic acids caused a dramatic increase in the number of apurinic/apyrimidinic sites. Overall, this study suggests that the metabolic response of E. coli cells to t-CA is relatively different from that to p-CA and FA. However, all phenolic acids had a certain impact on oxidative/antioxidant status, genomic stability, arginine-related pathways, and nucleic acid metabolism.
