ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the urinary small molecular metabolites and their metabolic characteristics of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:
High throughput ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to detect the small molecular metabolites in urine of healthy control (n=10), patients with hepatic hemangioma (n=10) and patients with HCC (n=10). The orthogonal projections to latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), hierarchical cluster analysis of multivariate analysis and univariate analysis were used to analyze the differential metabolites of the three groups.Results:
The metabolic profiles of the three groups showed that the total of 381 differential metabolites were identified and divided into 96 up-regulated metabolites and 285 down-regulated metabolites. There were 55 urinary metabolites specifically related to HCC. Twenty-one of them were significantly up-regulated, including Acetyl-DL-Leucine, Ala Asp, HoPhe-Gly-OH, while 34 were significantly down-regulated, including Selenocystathionine, Met Trp Met Cys, Valsartan acid and so on. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis showed that the differential metabolites were mainly enriched in glutamine/glutamate metabolism, lysine biosynthesis, tricarboxylic acid cycle and purine metabolism.Conclusions:
The occurrence of HCC is accompanied by the abnormalities of multiple metabolites and metabolic pathways. The analysis of the characteristic metabolic profile of urine in patients with HCC is helpful to find metabolic markers and potential therapeutic targets for liver cancer.Palavras-chave
