Metabolomics Pathway Mapping
KEGG Pathway Enrichment
library(MetaboAnalystR)
# Initialize MetaboAnalyst
mSet <- InitDataObjects('conc', 'pathora', FALSE)
# Set organism
mSet <- SetOrganism(mSet, 'hsa') # Human
# Load metabolite list (HMDB IDs or compound names)
metabolites <- c('HMDB0000001', 'HMDB0000005', 'HMDB0000010') # Example HMDB IDs
# Or use names: c('Glucose', 'Lactate', 'Pyruvate')
mSet <- Setup.MapData(mSet, metabolites)
mSet <- CrossReferencing(mSet, 'hmdb') # Or 'name', 'kegg', 'pubchem'
# Pathway analysis
mSet <- SetKEGG.PathLib(mSet, 'hsa', 'current')
mSet <- SetMetabolomeFilter(mSet, FALSE)
mSet <- CalculateOraScore(mSet, 'rbc', 'hyperg') # Over-representation
# Get results
pathway_results <- mSet$analSet$ora.mat
print(pathway_results)
Quantitative Enrichment Analysis (QEA)
# For continuous data (fold changes or concentrations)
mSet <- InitDataObjects('conc', 'pathqea', FALSE)
mSet <- SetOrganism(mSet, 'hsa')
# Load data with values
metabolite_data <- data.frame(
compound = c('Glucose', 'Lactate', 'Pyruvate'),
fc = c(1.5, 2.3, 0.7) # Fold changes
)
mSet <- Setup.MapData(mSet, metabolite_data)
mSet <- CrossReferencing(mSet, 'name')
# QEA analysis
mSet <- SetKEGG.PathLib(mSet, 'hsa', 'current')

# Results

Topology-Based Analysis
# Considers pathway structure (betweenness, degree)
mSet <- InitDataObjects('conc', 'pathinteg', FALSE)
mSet <- SetOrganism(mSet, 'hsa')
mSet <- Setup.MapData(mSet, metabolites)

Reactome Pathways
library(ReactomePA)
library(clusterProfiler)
# Convert to Reactome IDs (if available)
reactome_ids <- c('R-HSA-70171', 'R-HSA-1428517') # Example
# Enrichment
enriched <- enrichPathway(gene = reactome_ids, organism = 'human', pvalueCutoff = 0.05)
print(enriched)
KEGG Mapper (Direct API)
library(KEGGREST)
# Get pathway information
pathway_info <- keggGet('hsa00010') # Glycolysis
# Map compounds to pathways
kegg_ids <- c('C00031', 'C00186', 'C00022') # Glucose, Lactate, Pyruvate
# Find pathways containing these compounds
find_pathways <- function(kegg_id) {
pathways <- keggLink('pathway', kegg_id)
return(pathways)
}
all_pathways <- lapply(kegg_ids, find_pathways)
Pathway Visualization
library(pathview)
# Visualize KEGG pathway with metabolite data
metabolite_data <- c('C00031' = 1.5, 'C00186' = 2.3, 'C00022' = 0.7)
pathview(cpd.data = metabolite_data,
pathway.id = '00010', # Glycolysis
species = 'hsa',
cpd.idtype = 'kegg',
out.suffix = 'glycolysis_mapped')
# Output: hsa00010.glycolysis_mapped.png
Network-Based Analysis
library(igraph)
# Build metabolite-pathway network
build_network <- function(pathway_results) {
edges <- data.frame()

pathway <- rownames(pathway_results)[i]
metabolites <- strsplit(pathway_results$Metabolites[i], '; ')[[1]]
for (met in metabolites) {
edges <- rbind(edges, data.frame(from = met, to = pathway))
}

g <- graph_from_data_frame(edges, directed = FALSE)
# Add attributes
V(g)$type <- ifelse(V(g)$name %in% edges$from, 'metabolite', 'pathway')
return(g)
}
network <- build_network(pathway_results)
plot(network, vertex.size = ifelse(V(network)$type == 'pathway', 15, 5))
Metabolite Set Enrichment
# MSEA using predefined metabolite sets
mSet <- InitDataObjects('conc', 'msetora', FALSE)
# Use SMPDB (Small Molecule Pathway Database)
mSet <- SetMetaboliteFilter(mSet, FALSE)
mSet <- SetCurrentMsetLib(mSet, 'smpdb_pathway', 2)
mSet <- Setup.MapData(mSet, metabolites)
mSet <- CrossReferencing(mSet, 'hmdb')
mSet <- CalculateHyperScore(mSet)

Combine with Gene Expression
# Integrated pathway analysis (metabolites + genes)
library(IMPaLA)
# Prepare gene list
genes <- c('HK1', 'PFKM', 'ALDOA') # Glycolysis enzymes
# Prepare metabolite list
metabolites <- c('HMDB0000122', 'HMDB0000190') # Glucose, Lactate
# Joint pathway analysis
# (Use MetaboAnalyst joint pathway analysis or custom integration)
Export Results
# Format for publication
export_pathways <- function(results, output_file) {
results_df <- as.data.frame(results)
results_df$pathway <- rownames(results)
# Select relevant columns
results_df <- results_df[, c('pathway', 'Total', 'Expected', 'Hits',
'Raw p', 'Holm adjust', 'FDR', 'Impact')]
# Sort by FDR
results_df <- results_df[order(results_df$FDR), ]
