Background: Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) are the main side effects of statins. Currently, there are no effective biomarkers for accurate clinical diagnosis. Urine is not subject to homeostatic control and therefore accumulates early changes, making it an ideal biomarker source. We therefore examined urine proteome changes associated with SAMS in an animal model. Methods: Here, we established a SAMS rat model by intragastric intubation with simvastatin (80 mg/kg). Biochemical analyses and hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining were used to evaluate the degree of muscle injury. The urine proteome on days 3, 6, 9 and 14 was profiled using liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with the data-independent acquisition (DIA) method. Results: Differential proteins on day 14 of SAMS were mainly associated with glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, metabolism of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis, all of which were reported to be associated with the pathological mechanism of SAMS. Among the 14 differentially expressed proteins on day 3, FIBG, OSTP and CRP were associated with muscle damage, while EHD1, CUBN and FINC were associated with the pathogenic mechanisms of SAMS. MYG and PRVA increased dramatically compared with CK elevation in serum on day 14 of SAMS. Conclusions: Our preliminary results indicated that the urine proteome can reflect early changes in the SAMS rat model, providing the potential for monitoring drug side effects in future clinical research. Keywords: Urine proteome, statin-associated muscle symptoms, animal model, biomarkers

AbstractUrine accommodates more changes than other fluids, and it is a good source in the search for early sensitive biomarkers. The present study collected urine samples from 2-, 4-, 6-, 8- and 10-month-old α-synuclein transgenic mice. Based on data-independent acquisition (DIA) technology, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used for quantitative analysis. Seventeen human homologous differential proteins were screened and compared with those in the urine of 2-month-old mice, and 9 proteins were related to Parkinson’s disease (PD). Formin-2, Splicing factor 3A subunit 1, and Isopentenyl-diphosphate Delta-isomerase 1 changed continuously in months 6, 8 and 10. These experiments and analyses demonstrated that the urine proteome reflected the development of α-synuclein transgenic mice and provided clues for the early clinical diagnosis of PD.

Patients who have undergone several sessions of chemotherapy for cancer will sometimes develop anticipatory nausea and vomiting (ANV), these unpleasant side effects occurring as the patients return to the clinic for a further session of treatment. Pavlov's analysis of learning allows that previously neutral cues, such as those that characterize a given place or context, can become associated with events that occur in that context. ANV could thus constitute an example of a conditioned response elicited by the contextual cues of the clinic. In order to investigate this proposal we have begun an experimental analysis of a parallel case in which laboratory rats are given a nausea-inducing treatment in a novel context. We have developed a robust procedure for assessing the acquisition of context aversion in rats given such training, a procedure that shows promise as a possible animal model of ANV. Theoretical analysis of the conditioning processes involved in the formation of context aversions in animals suggests possible behavioral strategies that might be used in the alleviation of ANV, and we report a preliminary experimental test of one of these.

Abstract Background Skeletal muscle injury characterisation during healing supports trauma prognosis. Given the potential interest of computed tomography (CT) in muscle diseases and lack of in vivo CT methodology to image skeletal muscle wound healing, we tracked skeletal muscle injury recovery using in vivo micro-CT in a rat model to obtain a predictive model. Methods Skeletal muscle injury was performed in 23 rats. Twenty animals were sorted into five groups to image lesion recovery at 2, 4, 7, 10, or 14 days after injury using contrast-enhanced micro-CT. Injury volumes were quantified using a semiautomatic image processing, and these values were used to build a prediction model. The remaining 3 rats were imaged at all monitoring time points as validation. Predictions were compared with Bland-Altman analysis. Results Optimal contrast agent dose was found to be 20 mL/kg injected at 400 μL/min. Injury volumes showed a decreasing tendency from day 0 (32.3 ± 12.0mm3, mean ± standard deviation) to day 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 after injury (19.6 ± 12.6, 11.0 ± 6.7, 8.2 ± 7.7, 5.7 ± 3.9, and 4.5 ± 4.8 mm3, respectively). Groups with single monitoring time point did not yield significant differences with the validation group lesions. Further exponential model training with single follow-up data (R2 = 0.968) to predict injury recovery in the validation cohort gave a predictions root mean squared error of 6.8 ± 5.4 mm3. Further prediction analysis yielded a bias of 2.327. Conclusion Contrast-enhanced CT allowed in vivo tracking of skeletal muscle injury recovery in rat.
