Metabolomics is a field of study in systems biology that involves the identification and quantification of metabolites present in a biological system. Analyzing metabolic differences between unperturbed and perturbed networks, such as cancerous and non-cancerous samples, can provide insight into underlying disease pathology, disease prognosis and diagnosis. Despite the large number of review articles concerning metabolomics and its application in cancer research, biomarker and drug discovery, these reviews do not focus on a specific type of cancer. Metabolomics may provide biomarkers useful for identification of early stage gastric cancer, potentially addressing an important clinical need. Here, we present a short review on metabolomics as a tool for biomarker discovery in human gastric cancer, with a primary focus on its use as a predictor of anticancer drug chemosensitivity, diagnosis, prognosis, and metastasis.
代谢组学是系统生物学中的一个研究领域,涉及对生物系统中存在的代谢物进行鉴定和定量。分析未受干扰和受干扰网络(如癌性和非癌性样本)之间的代谢差异,可以深入了解潜在的疾病病理、疾病预后和诊断。尽管有大量关于代谢组学及其在癌症研究、生物标志物和药物发现中的应用的综述文章,但这些综述并未聚焦于特定类型的癌症。代谢组学可能提供有助于早期胃癌识别的生物标志物,从而潜在地满足一项重要的临床需求。在此,我们对代谢组学作为人类胃癌生物标志物发现工具进行简要综述,主要关注其作为抗癌药物化学敏感性、诊断、预后和转移预测指标的用途。
