2. Representative Research Achievements
(1) Chemical derivatization based-metabolomics method development. A series of novel chemical derivatization reagents were developed and their advantages in improving the chromatographic retention and mass spectrometric response were proved (Anal Chem, 2021; Anal Chem, 2017; Anal Chim Acta, 2019; Anal Chim Acta, 2023). By applying these probes, over 700 metabolites involving >10 metabolic pathways were quantitatively measured with high sensitivity. The developed probes were used to discover novel modified metabolites (e.g., acylation, glycation).
(2) Metabolic regulation study on kidney disease. A quantitative metabolomics strategy was proposed, and the metabolic profile changes of acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by cisplatin were quantitatively evaluated. This strategy is of great benefit for decreasing the false positive rate in biomarker discovery (Chem Res Toxicol, 2016). The metabolic sensitivity differences between renal cortex and medulla in AKI was revealed for the first time, providing important references for further mechanism study (Sci Rep, 2017). In addition, a prediction model of good accuracy (>85%) for predicting the individual difference of cisplatin-induced AKI was constructed (J Proteome Res, 2017). On the basis of above studies, potential targets for AKI intervention were explored by utilizing functional metabolomics, network pharmacology, molecular biology etc. (ZL201811091172.9; Chem Res Toxicol, 2019; Chem Res Toxicol, 2021).
