Research on the health benefits of rock tea based on untargeted metabolomics

  • 摘要: 【目的】 通过非靶向代谢组学技术,探究长时间岩茶茶溶物灌胃对小鼠血清代谢产物的影响,以及对脂质、糖类及氨基酸等代谢的调控作用,为岩茶的开发利用提供理论依据。【方法】 将SPF级C57BL/6雄性小鼠随机分为对照组(n=5)和岩茶干预组(n=5),采用水提法提取岩茶茶溶物,其中岩茶干预组灌胃岩茶茶溶物,对照组以纯净水代替,每天灌胃1次,每次50 μL,剂量为450 mg/(kg·d),连续灌胃8周,干预结束后采用异氟烷麻醉抽血(抽血前禁食12 h),利用液相色谱—串联质谱(LC-MS/MS)对血清进行非靶向代谢组学分析,结合聚类分析和KEGG信号通路富集分析,筛选差异代谢物及关键信号通路。【结果】 8周岩茶茶溶物干预明显改变小鼠血清代谢物,287个代谢物显著上调(P<0.05,下同),150个代谢物显著下调;其中,3种甘油磷脂类代谢物、2种脂肪酰类代谢物,以及氨基酸及其代谢物类的苯丙氨酸—天冬氨酸、N-乙酰鸟氨酸、L-异亮氨酸-L-甘氨酸-L-丝氨酸等显著上调,7种氨基酸及其代谢物类代谢物、4种有机酸及其衍生物类代谢物、2种杂环化合物、1种胆汁酸类代谢物、1种萜类代谢物等显著下调;KEGG信号通路富集分析结果显示,与神经兴奋、脂肪代谢及炎症调节关系密切的咖啡因代谢、甘油磷脂代谢、脂肪酸代谢、炎症介质对TRP通道的调节等信号通路显著富集。【结论】 长时间岩茶茶溶物灌胃干预可能通过影响机体血清代谢产物,参与机体脂代谢、糖代谢、氨基酸代谢、免疫抗炎及抗疲劳等信号通路调节,具有相关健康功效潜在调控作用。

     

    Abstract: 【Objective】 This study aimed to investigate the effects of long-term intragastric gavage of rock tea solubles on serum metabolites of mice, and regulatory functions of lipid, glucose, and amino acid in metabolism using untargeted metabolomics, so as to provide theoretical references for rock tea development and utilization.【Method】 Male SPF C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into a control group (n=5) and a rock tea intervention group (n=5). The rock tea solubles were prepared using the water extraction method. The intragastric gavage of rock tea solubles in mice was performed in the rock tea intervention group, while the solubles were replaced by purified water; the mice received intragastric gavage once daily at a volume of 50 μL and a dose of 450 mg/(kg·d). At the end of the 8-week intervention, blood samples were collected from mice (fasted for 12 h before sampling)anesthetized with isoflurane. Serum was then subjected to untargeted metabolomic analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Differential metabolites and key signaling pathways were identified through cluster analysis and KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis.【Result】 The 8-week intervention with rock tea solubles significantly altered the serum metabolites of mice. A total of 287 metabolites were significantly up-regulated (P<0.05, the same below) and 150 were significantly down-regulated. Significant up-regulations were observed in three glycerophospholipids, two fatty acyls, as well as amino acids and their metabolites such as phenylalanine-aspartate, N-acetylornithine, and Ile-Gly-Ser; down-regulations were observed in seven amino acids and their metabolites, four organic acids and their metabolites, two heterocyclic compounds, one bile acid, and one terpenoid. KEGG signaling pathway enrichment analysis revealed significant enrichment in signaling pathways associated with neural excitation, fat metabolism, and inflammation regulation including caffeine metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and modulation of TRP channels by inflammatory mediators.【Conclusion】 Long-term intervention of intragastric gavage of rock tea solubles may exert beneficial health effects by influencing serum metabolites and involving in regulations of signaling pathways associated with lipid and glucose metabolism, amino acid metabolism, anti-inflammation, immunity,and anti-fatigue.
