(A) Experimental design for metabolomic profiling. C57BL/6J mice were subjected
to control conditions (CTL), antibiotic treatment with 100 μg/mL cipro
(ABX), intraperitoneal infection with 107 CFU E.
coli (INF), or their combination (COMB). Peritoneal lavage, plasma
and lung lavage samples were collected 24 h after infection.
(B) Hierarchically clustered heatmap of metabolite concentrations from CTL, ABX,
INF and COMB mice.
(C) PCA projection of metabolomic profiles from peritoneal samples of all four
treatment groups.
(D) PLS-DA of peritoneal samples from ABX mice. Metabolites selected by elastic
net regularization were depleted for central metabolism intermediates.
(E) Concentrations for metabolites with large LV1-loadings in peritoneal samples
from the ABX metabolite signature. Antibiotic treatment depleted uridine
diphosphate (udp), glucose-6-phosphate (g6p) and ribulose-5-phosphate (r5p).
Data are represented as mean ± SEM from n = 3 independent
biological replicates. Significance reported as FDR-corrected p-values in
comparison with corresponding CTL conditions: *: p ≤ 0.05,
**: p ≤ 0.01, ****: p
≤ 0.0001.
