ABSTRACT
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs), mainly located in the cell membrane, play various roles in cancer cell function. GSLs have potential as renal cell carcinoma (RCC) biomarkers; however, their analysis in body fluids is challenging because of the complexity of numerous glycans and ceramides. Therefore, we applied wide-targeted lipidomics using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with selected reaction monitoring (SRM) based on theoretical mass to perform a comprehensive measurement of GSLs and evaluate their potency as urinary biomarkers. In semi-quantitative lipidomics, 240 SRM transitions were set based on the reported/speculated structures. We verified the feasibility of measuring GSLs in cells and medium and found that disialosyl globopentaosylceramide (DSGb5 (d181/160)) increased GSL in the ACHN medium. LC-MS/MS analysis of urine samples from clear cell RCC (ccRCC) patients and healthy controls showed a significant increase in the peak intensity of urinary DSGb5 (d181/160) in the ccRCC group compared with that in the control group. Receiver operating characteristic analysis indicated that urinary DSGb5 could serve as a sensitive and specific marker for RCC screening, with an AUC of 0.89. This study demonstrated the possibility of urinary screening using DSGb5 (d181/160). In conclusion, urinary DSGb5 (d181/160) was a potential biomarker for cancer screening, which could contribute to the treatment of RCC patients.
