T1  - Comparison of metabolite profiles in U87 glioma cells and mesenchymal stem cells
JF  - Biosystems : journal of biological and information processing sciences
N2  - Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) profiles were generated from U87 glioma cells and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC). 37 metabolites representing glycolysis intermediates, TCA cycle metabolites, amino acids and lipids were selected for a detailed analysis. The concentrations of these. metabolites were compared and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to calculate the relationship between pairs of metabolites. Metabolite profiles and correlation patterns differ significantly between the two cell lines. These profiles can be considered as a signature of the underlying biochemical system and provide snap-shots of the metabolism in mesenchymal stem cells and tumor cells.

T1  - Corn hybrids display lower metabolite variability and complex metabolite inheritance patterns
JF  - The plant journal
N2  - We conducted a comparative analysis of the root metabolome of six parental maize inbred lines and their 14 corresponding hybrids showing fresh weight heterosis. We demonstrated that the metabolic profiles not only exhibit distinct features for each hybrid line compared with its parental lines, but also separate reciprocal hybrids. Reconstructed metabolic networks, based on robust correlations between metabolic profiles, display a higher network density in most hybrids as compared with the corresponding inbred lines. With respect to metabolite level inheritance, additive, dominant and overdominant patterns are observed with no specific overrepresentation. Despite the observed complexity of the inheritance pattern, for the majority of metabolites the variance observed in all 14 hybrids is lower compared with inbred lines. Deviations of metabolite levels from the average levels of the hybrids correlate negatively with biomass, which could be applied for developing predictors of hybrid performance based on characteristics of metabolite patterns.
