Study TitlePre-treatment untargeted cerebrospinal fluid metabolomic profiling in tuberculous meningitis reveals multiple pathways associated with mortality
Study SummaryBackground Dysregulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) tryptophan metabolism contributes to the high mortality of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). We aimed to identify novel metabolic pathways associated with TBM mortality through untargeted metabolome-wide analysis. Methods We measured 619 metabolites using untargeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in pre-treatment CSF from adults with TBM from Indonesia (n=388; 34 HIV-positive) and Vietnam (n=679; 250 HIV-positive). Sixty-day mortality was modelled using Cox regression, adjusting for age and HIV-status. Metabolites were ranked in a screening subset (n=194, Indonesia), and validated in the same cohort (n=194) and externally (n=679, Vietnam). Secondary analysis included variable selection, clustering to classify associated metabolites into subgroups, comparison with non-infectious controls, and correlation with patient characteristics, CSF cytokines, CSF protein, and serum metabolite concentrations. Findings Sixty-day mortality was 21.6% and was associated with the concentration of ten CSF metabolites, including tryptophan. The strongest association was with 3-hydroxyoctanoate (FA 8:0;3OH), part of a cluster of hydroxylated fatty acids, further including hydroxy-isocaproate (FA 6:0;OH), hydroxyisobutyrate (FA 4:0;OH), and C4-OH-carnitine. These fatty acids correlated weakly with CSF TNF-α, IL-6, leukocyte counts, bacterial load and CSF protein. Mediation analysis showed that the variation in fatty acids was linked directly to mortality rather than through disease severity. Conclusion We identified and validated nine new metabolites associated with TBM mortality, independent of HIV-status, disease severity, and tryptophan. These metabolites suggest that altered fatty acid beta-oxidation is linked to TBM associated mortality. Interventions targeting cerebral fatty acid metabolism may improve survival from TBM.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO004053
Collection Summary:According to routine care, all patients with suspected meningitis underwent lumbar puncture (spinal tap) before starting antimicrobial or corticosteroid treatment.
Sample Type:Cerebrospinal fluid

Treatment:

Treatment ID:TR004069
Treatment Summary:CSF samples were processed according to in-house developed protocols and according to the “Standardized approaches for clinical sampling and endpoint ascertainment in tuberculous meningitis studies” (PMID: 32399496), with the exception that centrifugation speed has changed over time, ranging from 865-3000 x g, for 15 minutes. The resulting supernatants were stored at -80°C.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP004066
Sampleprep Summary:LC–MS samples were prepared from CSF samples for each profiling method as follows: - HILIC-pos: CSF (10 μL) samples were extracted with the addition of nine volumes of 74.9:24.9:0.2 v/v/v acetonitrile/methanol/formic acid containing stable isotope-labeled internal standards (valine-d8, Isotec; and phenylalanine-d8, Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). The samples were centrifuged (10 min, 9,000g, 4°C), and the supernatants (10 μL)injected directly onto column. - C8-pos: CSF samples (10 μL) were extracted using 190 μL isopropanol containing 1-dodecanoyl-2-tridecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine as an internal standard (Avanti Polar Lipids; Alabaster, AL). After centrifugation (10 min, 9,000g, ambient temperature), supernatants (2 μl) were injected directly onto column. - C18-neg: CSF samples (30 μL) were extracted using 90 μl methanol containing 15R-15-methyl ProstaglandinA2,15R-15-methyl ProstaglandinF2α, 15S-15-methyl ProstaglandinD2, 15S-15-methyl Prostaglandin E1, and 15S-15-methyl Prostaglandin E2 as internal standards (Cayman Chemical Co.) and centrifuged (10 min, 9,000g, 4°C). The supernatants (10 μL) were injected onto column. - HILIC-neg: CSF samples (30 μL) were extracted with the addition of four volumes of 80% methanol containing inosine-15N4, thymine-d4 and glycocholate-d4 internal standards (Cambridge Isotope Laboratories). The samples were centrifuged (10 min, 9,000g, 4°C) and the supernatants 10 μL) were injected directly onto column.
