Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its treatment continue to pose substantial risks. To understand ALL more deeply, the metabolome in fasting plasma of 27 ALL patients before and after high-dose methotrexate therapies (consolidation therapy) including methotrexate and 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) was investigated. Plasma metabolites were analyzed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Orthogonal projections to latent structures discriminant analysis and significance analysis of microarrays were used to evaluate the metabolic changes. Pathway enrichment and co-expression network analyses were performed to identify clusters of molecules, and 2826 metabolites were identified. Among them, 38 metabolites were identified by univariate analysis, and 7 metabolites that were altered by conditioning therapy were identified by multivariate analysis. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database was used for pathway enrichment analysis. Among the enriched KEGG pathways, the 3 significantly altered metabolic pathways were pyrimidine metabolism; phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis; and phenylalanine metabolism. In addition, L-phenylalanine was significantly correlated with blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and palmitoylcarnitine was correlated with aspartate aminotransferase (AST). In summary, consolidation therapy significantly affected pyrimidine- and phenylalanine-associated metabolic pathways in pediatric ALL patients. These findings may provide an insight into the role of metabolic profiling in consolidation treatment and as a potential for pediatric ALL patients.
急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)及其治疗仍存在重大风险。为了更深入地了解ALL,我们对27例ALL患者在包括甲氨蝶呤和6-巯基嘌呤(6-MP)的大剂量甲氨蝶呤治疗(巩固治疗)前后的空腹血浆代谢组进行了研究。使用液相色谱-串联质谱(LC-MS)分析血浆代谢物。采用正交投影到潜在结构判别分析和微阵列显著性分析来评估代谢变化。进行通路富集和共表达网络分析以识别分子簇,并鉴定出2826种代谢物。其中,通过单变量分析鉴定出38种代谢物,通过多变量分析鉴定出7种因预处理治疗而改变的代谢物。使用京都基因与基因组百科全书(KEGG)数据库进行通路富集分析。在富集的KEGG通路中,3条显著改变的代谢通路为嘧啶代谢;苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸和色氨酸生物合成;以及苯丙氨酸代谢。此外,L-苯丙氨酸与血尿素氮(BUN)显著相关,棕榈酰肉碱与天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)相关。总之,巩固治疗显著影响了小儿ALL患者中与嘧啶和苯丙氨酸相关的代谢通路。这些发现可能为代谢谱在巩固治疗中的作用以及小儿ALL患者的潜力提供见解。
