Exploring potential biomarkers of early stage esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in pre- and post-operative serum metabolomic fingerprint spectrum using 1H-NMR method.

ABSTRACT: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent types of upper gastrointestinal malignancy. Here, we used 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR) to identify potential pre- and post-operative serum biomarkers in patients with early stage ESCC using metabolomic fingerprint spectrum. Serum samples from preoperative patients with ESCC (ESCC, n = 25), postoperative patients with ESCC (PO, n = 24), and controls (n = 40) were analysed using 1H-NMR spectroscopy. Using orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis, 31 altered serum metabolites were successfully identified among the three groups. These metabolites are indicative of the changes that occur with glycometabolism, the metabolism of fatty acids, amino acids, choline, ketone bodies, nucleotides, and lipids. Based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and a biomarker panel with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.969, six serum metabolites (?-glucose, choline, glutamine, glutamate, valine, and dihydrothymine) were selected as potential diagnostic biomarkers for early stage ESCC. Additionally, four potential PO biomarkers (?-glucose, pyruvate, glutamate, and valine) with an AUC of 0.985 were selected to distinguish ESCC and PO. Many metabolites trended towards normalisation in PO patients, with only choline remaining high with an AUC of 0.858, suggesting that it may be a valuable potential biomarker for neoplasm progression, recurrence, chemoradiotherapy, and prognosis. 1H-NMR spectroscopy may be a useful tumour detection approach in the early diagnosis of ESCC. These results also indicate that it is useful to differentiate pre- and post-operative ESCC, evaluate surgery therapeutic responses, and monitor postoperative chemoradiotherapy.

Project description:Periodontitis is characterized by the loss of the supporting tissues of the teeth in an inflammatory-infectious context. The diagnosis relies on clinical and X-ray examination. Unfortunately, clinical signs of tissue destruction occur late in the disease progression. Therefore, it is mandatory to identify reliable biomarkers to facilitate a better and earlier management of this disease. To this end, saliva represents a promising fluid for identification of biomarkers as metabolomic fingerprints. The present study used high-resolution 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy coupled with multivariate statistical analysis to identify the metabolic signature of active periodontitis. The metabolome of stimulated saliva of 26 patients with generalized periodontitis (18 chronic and 8 aggressive) was compared to that of 25 healthy controls. Principal Components Analysis (PCA), performed with clinical variables, indicated that the patient population was homogeneous, demonstrating a strong correlation between the clinical and the radiological variables used to assess the loss of periodontal tissues and criteria of active disease. Orthogonal Projection to Latent Structure (OPLS) analysis showed that patients with periodontitis can be discriminated from controls on the basis of metabolite concentrations in saliva with satisfactory explained variance (R2X = 0.81 and R2Y = 0.61) and predictability (Q2Y = 0.49, CV-AUROC = 0.94). Interestingly, this discrimination was irrespective of the type of generalized periodontitis, i.e. chronic or aggressive. Among the main discriminating metabolites were short chain fatty acids as butyrate, observed in higher concentrations, and lactate, ?-amino-butyrate, methanol, and threonine observed in lower concentrations in periodontitis. The association of lactate, GABA, and butyrate to generate an aggregated variable reached the best positive predictive value for diagnosis of periodontitis. In conclusion, this pilot study showed that 1H-NMR spectroscopy analysis of saliva could differentiate patients with periodontitis from controls. Therefore, this simple, robust, non-invasive method, may offer a significant help for early diagnosis and follow-up of periodontitis.

Project description:Hemorrhagic shock (HS) following trauma is a leading cause of death among persons under the age of 40. During HS the body undergoes systemic warm ischemia followed by reperfusion during medical intervention. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) results in a disruption of cellular metabolic processes that ultimately lead to tissue and organ dysfunction or failure. Resistance to I/R injury is a characteristic of hibernating mammals. The present study sought to identify circulating metabolites in the rat as biomarkers for metabolic alterations associated with poor outcome after HS. Arctic ground squirrels (AGS), a hibernating species that resists I/R injury independent of decreased body temperature (warm I/R), was used as a negative control.Male Sprague-Dawley rats and AGS were subject to HS by withdrawing blood to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 35 mmHg and maintaining the low MAP for 20 min before reperfusing with Ringers. The animals' temperature was maintained at 37 ± 0.5 °C for the duration of the experiment. Plasma samples were taken immediately before hemorrhage and three hours after reperfusion. Hydrophilic and lipid metabolites from plasma were then analyzed via 1H-NMR from unprocessed plasma and lipid extracts, respectively. Rats, susceptible to I/R injury, had a qualitative shift in their hydrophilic metabolic fingerprint including differential activation of glucose and anaerobic metabolism and had alterations in several metabolites during I/R indicative of metabolic adjustments and organ damage. In contrast, I/R injury resistant AGS, regardless of season or body temperature, maintained a stable metabolic homeostasis revealed by a qualitative 1H-NMR metabolic profile with few changes in quantified metabolites during HS-induced global I/R.An increase in circulating metabolites indicative of anaerobic metabolism and activation of glycolytic pathways is associated with poor prognosis after HS in rats. These same biomarkers are absent in AGS after HS with warm I/R.
