The effects of low doses of toxicants are often subtle and information extracted from metabolomic data alone may not always be sufficient. As end products of enzymatic reactions, metabolites represent the final phenotypic expression of an organism and can also reflect gene expression changes caused by this exposure. Therefore, the integration of metabolomic and transcriptomic data could improve the extracted biological knowledge on these toxicants induced disruptions. In the present study, we applied statistical integration tools to metabolomic and transcriptomic data obtained from jejunal explants of pigs exposed to the food contaminant, deoxynivalenol (DON). Canonical correlation analysis (CCA) and self-organizing map (SOM) were compared for the identification of correlated transcriptomic and metabolomic features, and O2-PLS was used to model the relationship between exposure and selected features. The integration of both 'omics data increased the number of discriminant metabolites discovered (39) by about 10 times compared to the analysis of the metabolomic dataset alone (3). Besides the disturbance of energy metabolism previously reported, assessing correlations between both functional levels revealed several other types of damage linked to the intestinal exposure to DON, including the alteration of protein synthesis, oxidative stress, and inflammasome activation. This confirms the added value of integration to enrich the biological knowledge extracted from metabolomics.
