摘要: 目的 通过非靶向代谢组学筛选结直肠癌(CRC)患者血清中的潜在代谢标志物,并评估其作为诊断和分期生物标志物的价值。方法 收集100例健康对照(HC)和100例CRC患者血清,采用超高效液相色谱-质谱联用技术(UPLC-MS)进行非靶向代谢组学分析。数据经归一化后,通过主成分分析(PCA)、正交偏最小二乘判别分析(OPLS-DA)等筛选差异代谢物,并进行通路富集分析。采用单因素及多因素回归评估诊断效能,结合Mfuzz聚类分析CRC分期(Ⅰ~Ⅳ期)相关代谢物。结果 共鉴定432个代谢物,59个显著差异。淀粉和蔗糖代谢、甘油磷脂代谢通路显著富集。3种代谢物组合(4,8-dimethylnonanoyl carnitine、9,13-dihydroxy-4-megastigmen-3-one 9-glucoside和C17 sphingosine-1-phosphate)的诊断曲线下面积(AUC)达0.907;分期分析中,L-Carnitine和L-Norleucine组合的AUC为0.776。结论 特定血清代谢物组合具有高诊断准确性,且代谢通路异常与CRC进展相关,可作为潜在生物标志物。

Abstract: Objective To identify potential serum metabolic biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients using untargeted metabolomics and to evaluate their diagnostic and staging value. Methods Serum samples from 100 healthy controls and 100 CRC patients were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS). After data normalization, differential metabolites were screened using multivariate statistical analyses (PCA, OPLS-DA) and subjected to pathway enrichment analysis. Diagnostic performance was assessed via univariate and multivariate regression, while Mfuzz clustering was applied to analyze stage-related metabolites (Ⅰ-Ⅳ). Results A total of 432 metabolites were identified with 59 showing significant alterations. Starch and sucrose metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism pathways were significantly enriched. A three-metabolite panel (4,8- dimethylnonanoyl carnitine, 9,13-dihydroxy-4-megastigmen-3-one 9-glucoside and C17 sphingosine-1-phosphate) achieved a diagnostic AUC of 0.907, while L-Carnitine and L-Norleucine showed an AUC of 0.776 in staging analysis. Conclusions Specific serum metabolite panel exhibit high diagnostic accuracy, and dysregulated metabolic pathways are associated with CRC progression, suggesting their potential value as biomarkers.
