Abstract

Background: Polymyxin B treatment is limited by kidney injury. This study sought to identify Polymyxin B-related urinary metabolomic profile modifications for early detection of polymyxin-associated nephrotoxicity. Methods: Samples were obtained from a previously conducted study. Male Sprague-Dawley rats received dose-fractionated polymyxin B (12 mg/kg/day) once daily (QD), twice daily (BID), and thrice daily (TID) for three days, with urinary biomarkers and kidney histopathology scores determined. Daily urine was analysed for metabolites via 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Principal components analyses identified spectral data trends with orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis applied to classify metabolic differences. Metabolomes were compared across groups (i.e., those receiving QD, BID, TID, and control) using a mixed-effects models. Spearman correlation was performed for injury biomarkers and the metabolome. Results: A total of 25 rats were treated with Polymyxin B, and n = 2 received saline, contributing 77 urinary samples. Pre-dosing samples clustered well, characterised by higher amounts of citrate, 2-oxoglutarate, and hippurate. Day 1 samples showed higher taurine; day 3 samples had higher lactate, acetate and creatine. Taurine was the only metabolite that significantly increased in both BID and TID compared with the QD group. Day 1 taurine correlated with increasing histopathology scores (rho = 0.4167, P = 0.038) and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) (rho = 0.4052, P = 0.036), whereas KIM-1 on day 1 and day 3 did not reach significance with histopathology (rho = 0.3248, P = 0.11 and rho = 0.3739, P = 0.066). Conclusions: Polymyxin B causes increased amounts of urinary taurine on day 1, which then normalizes to baseline concentrations. Taurine may provide one of the earlier signals of acute kidney damage caused by polymyxin B.
