Pre-diagnostic Serum Metabolomic Profiling of Prostate Cancer Survival.

ABSTRACT: Impaired metabolism may play a role in the development and lethality of prostate cancer, yet a comprehensive analysis of the interrelationships appears lacking. We measured 625 metabolites using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of prediagnostic serum from 197 prostate cancer cases in the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study (ages at diagnosis, 55-86 years). Cox proportional hazards models estimated associations between circulating metabolites and prostate cancer mortality for 1 SD differences (log-metabolite scale), adjusted for age, year of diagnosis, and disease stage. Associations between metabolite chemical classes and survival were examined through pathway analysis, and Cox models assessed the relationship with a sterol/steroid metabolite principal component analysis factor score. Elevated serum N-oleoyl taurine was significantly associated with prostate cancer-specific mortality (hazard ratios [HR] = 1.72 per 1 SD, p < .00008, Bonferroni-corrected threshold = 0.05/625; HR = 3.6 for highest vs lowest tertile, p < .001). Pathway analyses revealed a statistically significant association between lipids and prostate cancer death (p < .006, Bonferroni-corrected threshold = 0.05/8), and sterol/steroid metabolites showed the strongest chemical sub-class association (p = .0014, Bonferroni-corrected threshold = 0.05/45). In the principal component analysis, a 1-SD increment in the sterol/steroid metabolite score increased the risk of prostate cancer death by 46%. Prediagnostic serum N-oleoyl taurine and sterol/steroid metabolites were associated with prostate cancer survival.

Prospective serum metabolomic profiling of lethal prostate cancer.

Project description:Impaired metabolism may play an important role in the pathogenesis of lethal prostate cancer, yet there is a paucity of evidence regarding the association. We conducted a large prospective serum metabolomic analysis of lethal prostate cancer in 523 cases and 523 matched controls nested within the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention (ATBC) Study. Median time from baseline fasting serum collection to prostate cancer death was 18?years (maximum 30?years). We identified 860 known biochemicals through an ultrahigh-performance LC-MS/MS platform. Conditional logistic regression models estimated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals of risk associated with 1-standard deviation (s.d.) increases in log-metabolite signals. We identified 34 metabolites associated with lethal prostate cancer with a false discovery rate (FDR)?<?0.15. Notably, higher serum thioproline, and thioproline combined with two other cysteine-related amino acids and redox metabolites, cystine and cysteine, were associated with reduced risk (1-s.d. OR?=?0.75 and 0.71, respectively; p???8.2?×?10-5 ). By contrast, the dipeptide leucylglycine (OR?=?1.36, p?=?8.2?×?10-5 ), and three gamma-glutamyl amino acids (OR?=?1.28-1.30, p???4.6?×?10-4 ) were associated with increased risk of lethal prostate cancer. Cases with metastatic disease at diagnosis (n?=?179) showed elevated risk for several lipids, including especially the ketone body 3-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), acyl carnitines, and dicarboxylic fatty acids (1.37???OR???1.49, FDR?<?0.15). These findings provide a prospective metabolomic profile of lethal prostate cancer characterized by altered biochemicals in the redox, dipeptide, pyrimidine, and gamma-glutamyl amino acid pathways, whereas ketone bodies and fatty acids were associated specifically with metastatic disease.

Data on metabolomic profiling of ovarian cancer patients' serum for potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Project description:The data presented here are related to the research paper entitled "Metabolomic profiling suggests long chain ceramides and sphingomyelins as a possible diagnostic biomarker of epithelial ovarian cancer." (Kozar et al., 2018) [1]. Metabolomic profiling was performed on 15 patients with ovarian cancer, 21 healthy controls and 21 patients with benign gynecological conditions. HPLC-TQ/MS was performed on all samples. PLS-DA was used for the first line classification of epithelial ovarian cancer and healthy control group based on metabolomic profiles. Random forest algorithm was used for building a prediction model based over most significant markers. Univariate analysis was performed on individual markers to determine their distinctive roles. Furthermore, markers were also evaluated for their biological significance in cancer progression.

Serum metabolomic profiling of prostate cancer risk in the prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancer screening trial.

Project description:BackgroundTwo recent metabolomic analyses found serum lipid, energy, and other metabolites related to aggressive prostate cancer risk up to 20 years prior to diagnosis.MethodsWe conducted a serum metabolomic investigation of prostate cancer risk in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial that included annual serum total prostate-specific antigen measurement and digital rectal examination. This nested study included 380 cases diagnosed post-screening and 380 controls individually matched to cases on age, race, study centre, and blood-collection date (median time to diagnosis, 10 years (range 4.4-17 years)). Sera were analysed on a high-resolution accurate mass platform of ultrahigh-performance liquid and gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy that identified 695 known metabolites. Logistic regression conditioned on the matching factors estimated odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals of risk associated with an 80th percentile increase in the log-metabolite signal.ResultsTwenty-seven metabolites were associated with prostate cancer at P<0.05. Pyroglutamine, gamma-glutamylphenylalanine, phenylpyruvate, N-acetylcitrulline, and stearoylcarnitine showed the strongest metabolite-risk signals (ORs=0.53, 0.51, 0.46, 0.58, and 1.74, respectively; 0.001?P?0.006). Findings were similar for aggressive disease (peptide chemical class, P=0.03). None of the P-values were below the threshold of Bonferroni correction, however.ConclusionsA unique metabolomic profile associated with post-screening prostate cancer is identified that differs from that in a previously studied, unscreened population.

1-stearoylglycerol is associated with risk of prostate cancer: results from serum metabolomic profiling.

Project description:Although prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men in developed populations, recent recommendations against routine prostate-specific antigen screening have cast doubt on its utility for early detection. We compared the metabolomic profiles of prospectively collected fasting serum from 74 prostate cancer cases and 74 controls selected from the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene Cancer Prevention Study cohort of male smokers. Circulating 1-stearoylglycerol (1-SG, or 1-monostearin) was statistically significantly inversely associated with risk of prostate cancer after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons (i.e., 420 identified metabolites) (OR=0.34, 95% CI=0.20 - 0.58, p=6.3 × 10-5). The magnitude of this association did not differ by disease aggressiveness and was observed for cases diagnosed up to 23 years after blood collection. Similar but somewhat weaker prostate cancer risk signals were also evident for glycerol and alpha-ketoglutarate. In this population, men with higher serum 1-SG were less likely to develop prostate cancer, supporting a role for dysregulation of lipid metabolism in this malignancy. Additional studies are needed to retest the association and to examine 1-SG for its potential as a prostate cancer early detection marker.

Searching for early breast cancer biomarkers by serum protein profiling of pre-diagnostic serum; a nested case-control study.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Serum protein profiles have been investigated frequently to discover early biomarkers for breast cancer. So far, these studies used biological samples collected at or after diagnosis. This may limit these studies' value in the search for cancer biomarkers because of the often advanced tumor stage, and consequently risk of reverse causality. We present for the first time pre-diagnostic serum protein profiles in relation to breast cancer, using the Prospect-EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and nutrition) cohort. METHODS: In a nested case-control design we compared 68 women diagnosed with breast cancer within three years after enrollment, with 68 matched controls for differences in serum protein profiles. All samples were analyzed with SELDI-TOF MS (surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry). In a subset of 20 case-control pairs, the serum proteome was identified and relatively quantified using isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantification (iTRAQ) and online two-dimensional nano-liquid chromatography coupled with tandem MS (2D-nanoLC-MS/MS). RESULTS: Two SELDI-TOF MS peaks with m/z 3323 and 8939, which probably represent doubly charged apolipoprotein C-I and C3a des-arginine anaphylatoxin (C3adesArg), were higher in pre-diagnostic breast cancer serum (p = 0.02 and p = 0.06, respectively). With 2D-nanoLC-MS/MS, afamin, apolipoprotein E and isoform 1 of inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4 (ITIH4) were found to be higher in pre-diagnostic breast cancer (p < 0.05), while alpha-2-macroglobulin and ceruloplasmin were lower (p < 0.05). C3a(desArg) and ITIH4 have previously been related to the presence of symptomatic and/or mammographically detectable breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS: We show that serum protein profiles are already altered up to three years before breast cancer detection.

Diagnostic and prognostic potential of the proteomic profiling of serum-derived extracellular vesicles in prostate cancer.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their cargo represent an intriguing source of cancer biomarkers for developing robust and sensitive molecular tests by liquid biopsy. Prostate cancer (PCa) is still one of the most frequent and deadly tumor in men and analysis of EVs from biological fluids of PCa patients has proven the feasibility and the unprecedented potential of such an approach. Here, we exploited an antibody-based proteomic technology, i.e. the Reverse-Phase Protein microArrays (RPPA), to measure key antigens and activated signaling in EVs isolated from sera of PCa patients. Notably, we found tumor-specific protein profiles associated with clinical settings as well as candidate markers for EV-based tumor diagnosis. Among others, PD-L1, ERG, Integrin-β5, Survivin, TGF-β, phosphorylated-TSC2 as well as partners of the MAP-kinase and mTOR pathways emerged as differentially expressed endpoints in tumor-derived EVs. In addition, the retrospective analysis of EVs from a 15-year follow-up cohort generated a protein signature with prognostic significance. Our results confirm that serum-derived EV cargo may be exploited to improve the current diagnostic procedures while providing potential prognostic and predictive information. The approach proposed here has been already applied to tumor entities other than PCa, thus proving its value in translational medicine and paving the way to innovative, clinically meaningful tools.

Non-invasive urinary metabolomic profiling discriminates prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Project description:Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common malignancies in men worldwide. Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level has been extensively used as a biomarker to detect PCa. However, PSA is not cancer-specific and various non-malignant conditions, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can cause a rise in PSA blood levels, thus leading to many false positive results.In this study, we evaluated the potential of urinary metabolomic profiling for discriminating PCa from BPH.Urine samples from 64 PCa patients and 51 individuals diagnosed with BPH were analysed using 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Comparative analysis of urinary metabolomic profiles was carried out using multivariate and univariate statistical approaches.The urine metabolomic profile of PCa patients is characterised by increased concentrations of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), glutamate and pseudouridine, and decreased concentrations of glycine, dimethylglycine, fumarate and 4-imidazole-acetate compared with individuals diagnosed with BPH.PCa patients have a specific urinary metabolomic profile. The results of our study underscore the clinical potential of metabolomic profiling to uncover metabolic changes that could be useful to discriminate PCa from BPH in a clinical context.

Serum metabolomic and lipidomic profiling identifies diagnostic biomarkers for seropositive and seronegative rheumatoid arthritis patients.

Project description:BackgroundDiagnosing seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (RA) can be challenging due to complex diagnostic criteria. We sought to discover diagnostic biomarkers for seronegative RA cases by studying metabolomic and lipidomic changes in RA patient serum.MethodsWe performed comprehensive metabolomic and lipidomic profiling in serum of 225 RA patients and 100 normal controls. These samples were divided into a discovery set (n = 243) and a validation set (n = 82). A machine-learning-based multivariate classification model was constructed using distinctive metabolites and lipids signals.ResultsTwenty-six metabolites and lipids were identified from the discovery cohort to construct a RA diagnosis model. The model was subsequently tested on a validation set and achieved accuracy of 90.2%, with sensitivity of 89.7% and specificity of 90.6%. Both seropositive and seronegative patients were identified using this model. A co-occurrence network using serum omics profiles was built and parsed into six modules, showing significant association between the inflammation and immune activity markers and aberrant metabolism of energy metabolism, lipids metabolism and amino acid metabolism. Acyl carnitines (20:3), aspartyl-phenylalanine, pipecolic acid, phosphatidylethanolamine PE (18:1) and lysophosphatidylethanolamine LPE (20:3) were positively correlated with the RA disease activity, while histidine and phosphatidic acid PA (28:0) were negatively correlated with the RA disease activity.ConclusionsA panel of 26 serum markers were selected from omics profiles to build a machine-learning-based prediction model that could aid in diagnosing seronegative RA patients. Potential markers were also identified in stratifying RA cases based on disease activity.

Metabolomic profiling identifies biochemical pathways associated with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Project description:Despite recent developments in treatment strategies, castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is still the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality among American men, the biological underpinnings of which are not well understood. To this end, we measured levels of 150 metabolites and examined the rate of utilization of 184 metabolites in metastatic androgen-dependent prostate cancer (AD) and CRPC cell lines using a combination of targeted mass spectrometry and metabolic phenotyping. Metabolic data were used to derive biochemical pathways that were enriched in CRPC, using Oncomine concept maps (OCM). The enriched pathways were then examined in-silico for their association with treatment failure (i.e., prostate specific antigen (PSA) recurrence or biochemical recurrence) using published clinically annotated gene expression data sets. Our results indicate that a total of 19 metabolites were altered in CRPC compared to AD cell lines. These altered metabolites mapped to a highly interconnected network of biochemical pathways that describe UDP glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) activity. We observed an association with time to treatment failure in an analysis employing genes restricted to this pathway in three independent gene expression data sets. In summary, our studies highlight the value of employing metabolomic strategies in cell lines to derive potentially clinically useful predictive tools.

Metabolomic screening of pre-diagnostic serum samples identifies association between α- and γ-tocopherols and glioblastoma risk.

Project description:Glioblastoma is associated with poor prognosis with a median survival of one year. High doses of ionizing radiation is the only established exogenous risk factor. To explore new potential biological risk factors for glioblastoma, we investigated alterations in metabolite concentrations in pre-diagnosed serum samples from glioblastoma patients diagnosed up to 22 years after sample collection, and undiseased controls. The study points out a latent biomarker for future glioblastoma consisting of nine metabolites (γ-tocopherol, α-tocopherol, erythritol, erythronic acid, myo-inositol, cystine, 2-keto-L-gluconic acid, hypoxanthine and xanthine) involved in antioxidant metabolism. We detected significantly higher serum concentrations of α-tocopherol (p=0.0018) and γ-tocopherol (p=0.0009) in future glioblastoma cases. Compared to their matched controls, the cases showed a significant average fold increase of α- and γ-tocopherol levels: 1.2 for α-T (p=0.018) and 1.6 for γ-T (p=0.003). These tocopherol levels were associated with a glioblastoma odds ratio of 1.7 (α-T, 95% CI:1.0-3.0) and 2.1 (γ-T, 95% CI:1.2-3.8). Our exploratory metabolomics study detected elevated serum levels of a panel of molecules with antioxidant properties as well as oxidative stress generated compounds. Additional studies are necessary to confirm the association between the observed serum metabolite pattern and future glioblastoma development.
