Abstract: 
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) cause symptoms by altering the circulation levels of catecholamines and peptide hormones. Currently, the diagnosis of PPGLs relies on diagnostic imaging and the detection of catecholamines. In this study, we used ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (Q-TOF MS) analysis to identify and measure the perioperative differential metabolites in the plasma of adrenal pheochromocytoma patients. We identified differentially expressed genes by comparing the transcriptomic data of pheochromocytoma with the normal adrenal medulla. Through conducting two steps of metabolomics analysis, we identified 111 differential metabolites between the healthy group and the patient group, among which 53 metabolites were validated. By integrating the information of differential metabolites and differentially expressed genes, we inferred that the cysteine-methionine, pyrimidine, and tyrosine metabolism pathways were the three main metabolic pathways altered by the neoplasm. The analysis of transcription levels revealed that the tyrosine and cysteine-methionine metabolism pathways were downregulated in pheochromocytoma, whereas the pyrimidine pathway showed no significant difference. Finally, we developed an optimized diagnostic model of two metabolites, l-Dihydroorotic acid and vanylglycol. Our results for these metabolites suggest that they may serve as potential clinical biomarkers and can be used to supplement and improve the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma.

摘要:嗜铬细胞瘤和副神经节瘤(PPGL)的临床症状主要是儿茶酚胺和肽类激素循环水平的改变。目前,PPGL的临床诊断主要依赖于放射影像和儿茶酚胺水平的检测。本研究使用超高效液相色谱-四级杆-飞行时间质谱分析法鉴定和测量肾上腺嗜铬细胞瘤患者手术前后血浆中的差异代谢物;通过对比嗜铬细胞瘤与正常肾上腺髓质组织的转录组数据,获得差异表达的基因列表。通过对发现数据集和验证数据集两部分代谢组学分析,发现健康组和患者组之间存在111个差异代谢物,其中53个代谢物在验证数据集中得到验证。基于差异代谢物和差异表达基因数据,研究发现半胱氨酸-蛋氨酸代谢、嘧啶代谢和酪氨酸代谢通路是嗜铬细胞瘤的三个主要改变的代谢途径。转录水平分析显示,嗜铬细胞瘤中酪氨酸代谢和半胱氨酸-蛋氨酸代谢通路均出现下调,而嘧啶代谢途径则无明显差异。最后,本研究构建了以L-二氢乳清酸和香草乙二醇为输入的最优诊断模型,并希望将L-二氢乳清酸和香草乙二醇作为潜在的临床生物标志物,用于辅助嗜铬细胞瘤的诊断。
