Background = Application of metabolic phenotyping could expand the pathophysiological knowledge of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and may reveal the comprehensive metabolic impairments in MPS. However, few studies applied this approach to MPS. Methods = We applied targeted and untargeted metabolic profiling in urine samples obtained from a French cohort comprising 19 MPS I and 15 MPS I treated patients along with 66 controls. For that purpose, we used ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography combined with ion mobility and high-resolution mass spectrometry following a protocol designed for large-scale metabolomics studies regarding robustness and reproducibility. Furthermore, 24 amino acids have been quantified using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Keratan sulfate, Heparan sulfate and Dermatan sulfate concentrations have also been measured using an LC-MS/MS method. Univariate and multivariate data analyses have been used to select discriminant metabolites. The mummichog algorithm has been used for pathway analysis. Results = The studied groups yielded distinct biochemical phenotypes using multivariate data analysis. Univariate statistics also revealed metabolites that differentiated the groups. Specifically, metabolites related to the amino acid metabolism. Pathway analysis revealed that several major amino acid pathways were dysregulated in MPS. Comparison of targeted and untargeted metabolomics data with in silico results yielded arginine, proline and glutathione metabolisms being the most affected. Conclusion = This study is one of the first metabolic phenotyping studies of MPS I. The findings might help to generate new hypotheses about MPS pathophysiology and to develop further targeted studies of a smaller number of potentially key metabolites.
