    <p>Plots represent the largest connected component of the networks obtained with the ARACNE algorithm for B0-P0 (A) and B29-P29 (B). Blue nodes indicate metabolites relevant to lipid metabolism; green nodes indicate amino acids, including derivatives and analogues; red edges indicate anti-correlation; and light green edges indicate correlation. Shorter edges denote smaller p-values (higher R2). Note the presence of a community of lipid metabolites on the right side in (A) and the predominance of amino acids in (B). </p

    <p>Untargeted mPCA was performed on 1H-MRS spectra acquired on the polar fractions of PB (A, B). (A) mPCA scores plot shows a clear separation between PB samples collected on day 0 versus day 8 (49.63% on PC1), on day 0 versus day 29 (50.85% on PC1), and on day 8 versus day 29 (38.14% on PC1). (B) Loadings plot for the first principal components depicts the most relevant discriminatory metabolites for BM before therapy (negative loadings) and during or after therapy (positive loadings).</p

    <p>Plots show the probability distribution function (PDF) of the p-values of edges in a relevance network of metabolites with strong correlation in B0-P0 (A) and B29-P29 (B). Edges are classified in three groups (lipid metabolism, amino acids, and others). Note the presence of the high peak at small p-values in the lipid metabolite distribution in (A) and in the amino acid (including derivatives and analogues) distribution in (B), indicating enriched correlation among lipid metabolites at day 0 and amino acids at day 29, respectively. </p

    <p>Shown are the mean fold differences in metabolite concentrations in BM and PB samples collected (A) at the time of diagnosis and (B) after induction therapy (mean ± SEM, n = 10 patients). Statistical significance was assessed based on absolute metabolite concentrations (SI, <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082859#pone.0082859.s001" target="_blank">Table S1</a>) using the nonparametric two-sided Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test (WRST) and p-values were corrected using false discovery rate (FDR). The bar plot is color coded according to p-values (pFDR < 10%). At day 0 (A), 22 metabolites were significantly different between BM and PB with pFDR <10%, 14 of which had pFDR <5%. In contrast, only 4 of 110 identified metabolites were found to be significantly different between BM and PB at day 29 (B). Both bar plots also show the differences in the ratios of glutamate to glutamine, aspartate to asparagine, choline to creatine, unsaturated to saturated fatty acids, and the sum of glutamine plus pyroglutamate.</p

    <p>(A, C) Scores plots obtained from mPCA performed on 1H MRS spectra of BM and PB samples collected at diagnosis (A, day 0) or after induction therapy (C, day 29). (B, D) Loadings plots for the first principal component depicts the most relevant discriminatory metabolites from BM (positive loadings) and PB (negative loadings) samples collected at diagnosis (B) and after induction therapy (D). Metabolites are defined in the Abbreviations section.</p

    Untargeted multilevel principal component analysis performed on 1H-MRS spectra acquired on the whole lipid fraction of bone marrow and peripheral blood samples at the time of diagnosis.

    <p>(A) mPCA scores plot shows a clear separation on the second principal component (PC2) between BM and PB specimens. (B) Loadings plot for the second principal component depicts the most relevant discriminatory functional groups from BM (negative loadings) and PB (positive loadings) collected at diagnosis. Red areas in (B) indicate significantly different regions of the MRS spectra according to a point-by-point nonparametric Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test (p < 0.05).</p
