We report on the first untargeted UPLC-MS study of 2nd trimester maternal urine and amniotic fluid (AF), to investigate the possible metabolic effects of fetal malformations (FM), gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and preterm delivery (PTD). For fetal malformations, considerable metabolite variations were identified in AF and, to a lesser extent, in urine. Using validated PLS-DA models and statistical correlations between UPLC-MS data and previously acquired NMR data, a metabolic picture of fetal hypoxia, enhanced gluconeogenesis, TCA activity and hindered kidney development affecting FM pregnancies was reinforced. Moreover, changes in carnitine, pyroglutamate and polyols were newly noted, respectively, reflecting lipid oxidation, altered placental amino acid transfer and alterations in polyol pathways. Higher excretion of conjugated products in maternal urine was seen suggesting alterations in conjugation reactions. For the pre-diagnostic GDM group, no significant changes were observed, either considering amniotic fluid or maternal urine, whereas, for the pre-PTD group, some newly observed changes were noted, namely, the decrease of particular amino acids and the increase of an hexose (possibly glucose), suggesting alteration in placental amino acid fluxes and a possible tendency for hyperglycemia. This work shows the potential of UPLC-MS for the study of fetal and maternal biofluids, particularly when used in tandem with comparable NMR data. The important roles played by sampling characteristics (e.g. group dimensions) and the specific experimental conditions chosen for MS methods are discussed. |
