Transcriptomic analysis is an essential tool for systems biology but it has been stymied by a lack of global understanding of genomic functions, resulting in the inability to link functionally disparate gene expression events. Using the anticancer agent selenite and human lung cancer A549 cells as a model system, we demonstrate that these difficulties can be overcome by a progressive approach which harnesses the emerging power of metabolomics for transcriptomic analysis. We have named the approach Metabolomics-edited transcriptomic analysis (META). The main analytical engine was C-13 isotopomer profiling using a combination of multi-nuclear 2-D NMR and GC-MS techniques. Using C-13-glucose as a tracer, multiple disruptions to the central metabolic network in A549 cells induced by selenite were defined. META was then achieved by coupling the metabolic dysfunctions to altered gene expression profiles to: (1) provide new insights into the regulatory network underlying the metabolic dysfunctions; (2) enable the assembly of disparate gene expression events into functional pathways that was not feasible by transcriptomic analysis alone. This was illustrated in particular by the connection of mitochondrial dysfunctions to perturbed lipid metabolism via the AMP-AMPK pathway. Thus, META generated both extensive and highly specific working hypotheses for further validation, thereby accelerating the resolution of complex biological problems such as the anticancer mechanism of selenite.
