[Metabolomics of bovine serum albumin-induced allergic reactions based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS].

The metabonomic techniques were used to study the changes in endogenous metabolites between urines of rats in normal physiological conditions and bovine serum albumin induced allergic reactions, identify potential biomarkers associated with allergic reactions, and then analyze the metabolic pathways and the metabolic mechanisms of allergic reactions. The bovine serum albumin-induced allergic reactions in rats were adopted as a model to detect histamine and tryptase in rat serum and observe the issue morphology of lungs and trachea in rats. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was applied in metabonomic analysis on urines between control group and allergic reaction model group. Principal component analysis(PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) were applied to observe the differences in metabolic profiling between urines of the two groups and select differential metabolites. There were significant differences in metabolism spectrum between the model group and the control group. Totally 14 differential metabolites and 4 major metabolic pathways were screened out. The metabonomic research method for urines of rats with bovine serum albumin-induced allergic reactions based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was established in this study. It was speculated that the mechanism of bovine serum albumin-induced allergic reactions may involve biosynthesis of isoflavone and folic acid and metabolism of tryptophan, nicotinic acid and nicotinamide. It lays a foundation for further exploration of the application of metabolomics in drug allergy reaction studies.
