Changes in urinary metabolic profiles of colorectal cancer patients enrolled in a prospective cohort study (ColoCare).

ABSTRACT: Metabolomics is a valuable tool for biomarker screening of colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, we profiled the urinary metabolomes of patients enrolled in a prospective patient cohort (ColoCare). We aimed to describe changes in the metabolome in the longer clinical follow-up and describe initial predictors as candidate markers with possibly prognostic significance.In total, 199 urine samples from CRC patients pre-surgery (n=97), 1-8 days post-surgery (n=12) and then after 6 and 12 months (n=52 and 38, respectively) were analyzed using both GC-MS and 1H-NMR. Both datasets were analyzed separately with built in uni- and multivariate analyses of Metaboanalyst 2.0. Furthermore, adjusted linear mixed effects regression models were constructed.Many concentrations of the metabolites derived from the gut microbiome were affected by CRC surgery, presumably indicating a tumor-induced shift in bacterial species. Associations of the microbial metabolites with disease stage indicate an important role of the gut microbiome in CRC.We were able to differentiate the metabolite profiles of CRC patients prior to surgery from those at any post-surgery timepoint using a multivariate model containing 20 marker metabolites (AUCROC=0.89; 95% CI:0.84-0.95).To the best of our knowledge, this is one of the first metabolomic studies to follow CRC patients in a prospective setting with repeated urine sampling over time. We were able to confirm markers initially identified in case-control studies and pin point metabolites which may serve as candidates for prognostic biomarkers of CRC.

Project description:To explore the metabolic changes and immune profiles in patients with COVID-19, we analyzed the data of patients with mild and severe COVID-19 as well as young children with COVID-19. Of the leukocytes, 47% (IQR, 33-59) were lymphocytes [2.5 × 109/L (IQR, 2.2-3.3)], and monocytes were 0.51 × 109/L (IQR, 0.45-0.57) in young children with COVID-19. In 32 mild COVID-19 patients, circulating monocytes were 0.45 × 109/L (IQR, 0.36-0.64). Twenty-one severe patients had low PO2 [57 mmHg (IQR, 50-73)] and SO2 [90% (IQR, 86-93)] and high lactate dehydrogenase [580 U/L (IQR, 447-696)], cardiac troponin I [0.07 ng/mL (IQR, 0.02-0.30)], and pro-BNP [498 pg/mL (IQR, 241-1,726)]. Serum D-dimer and FDP were 9.89 mg/L (IQR, 3.62-22.85) and 32.7 mg/L (IQR, 12.8-81.9), and a large number of RBC (46/μL (IQR, 4-242) was presented in urine, a cue of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in severe patients. Three patients had comorbidity with diabetes, and 18 patients without diabetes also presented high blood glucose [7.4 mmol/L (IQR, 5.9-10.1)]. Fifteen of 21 (71%) severe cases had urine glucose +, and nine of 21 (43%) had urine ketone body +. The increased glucose was partially caused by reduced glucose consumption of cells. Severe cases had extraordinarily low serum uric acid [176 μmol/L (IQR, 131-256)]. In the late stage of COVID-19, severe cases had extremely low CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells, but unusually high neutrophils [6.5 × 109/L (IQR, 4.8-9.6)], procalcitonin [0.27 ng/mL (IQR, 0.14-1.94)], C-reactive protein [66 mg/L (IQR, 25-114)] and an extremely high level of interleukin-6. Four of 21 (19%) severe cases had co-infection with fungi, and two of 21 (9%) severe cases had bacterial infection. Our findings suggest that, severe cases had acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) I-III, and metabolic disorders of glucose, lipid, uric acid, etc., even multiple organ dysfunction (MODS) and DIC. Increased neutrophils and severe inflammatory responses were involved in ARDS, MODS, and DIC. With the dramatical decrease of T-lymphocytes, severe cases were susceptible to co-infect with bacteria and fungi in the late stage of COVID-19. In young children, extremely high lymphocytes and monocytes might be associated with the low morbidity of COVID-19. The significantly increased monocytes might play an important role in the recovery of patients with mild COVID-19.
