| Abstract | BACKGROUND: Transplant surgeons rely on morphologic aspects of the organ as well as clinical and histologic data to decide whether to use a graft. Metabonomics measures the 'downstream' products of proteins and genes; these metabolic profiles are particularly good reporters of tissue physiologic features. Sample preparation and data acquisition are generally considered limiting steps in metabonome analysis because they are important sources of variability. State-of-the-art mass spectrometry and multivariate statistical analysis have been used to explore the suitability of a metabonomic platform as a liver tissue metabonomic profiling method. OBJECTIVE: To develop robust and reliable sample processing and mass spectrometry protocols for studying human liver metabonomic profiles. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used to analyze 20 liver tissue samples from 10 discarded and 10 transplanted grafts. Principal component analysis (PCA) and projection to latent structures-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were used for data interpretation. RESULTS: Standard operating protocols for sample processing (tissue homogenization) and data acquisition were developed. The quantification of the quality controls present in the test mix demonstrated coefficients of variation less than 15%. The PCA score plot revealed that the sample triplicate cluster was quite close. Furthermore, PLS-DA analysis demonstrated a clear separation (transplanted vs discarded) along the first component. DISCUSSION: Multivariate data analysis (PCA and PLS-DA) indicated that protocols developed in-house for sample processing and mass spectrometry data acquisition were sufficiently sensitive (approximately 1245 features) and reproducible (sample triplicate clusters and test mix quantification) to perform liver tissue metabonomic profiling. In addition, a reduced set of metabolites was selected as potential biomarkers responsible for sample discrimination. These findings encourage ongoing research into the development of a metabonomic model to assess liver graft quality and function before transplantation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
