Growing evidence suggests that major psychiatric disorders (MPDs) share common etiologies and pathological processes. However, the diagnosis is currently based on descriptive symptoms, which ignores the underlying pathogenesis and hinders the development of clinical treatments. This highlights the urgency of characterizing molecular biomarkers and establishing objective diagnoses of MPDs. Here, we collected untargeted metabolomics, proteomics and DNA methylation data of 327 patients with MPDs, 131 individuals with genetic high risk and 146 healthy controls to explore the multi-omics characteristics of MPDs. First, differential metabolites (DMs) were identified and we classified MPD patients into 3 subtypes based on DMs. The subtypes showed distinct metabolomics, proteomics and DNA methylation signatures. Specifically, one subtype showed dysregulation of complement and coagulation proteins, while the DNA methylation showed abnormalities in chemical synapses and autophagy. Integrative analysis in metabolic pathways identified the important roles of the citrate cycle, sphingolipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism. Finally, we constructed prediction models based on the metabolites and proteomics that successfully captured the risks of MPD patients. Our study established molecular subtypes of MPDs and elucidated their biological heterogeneity through a multi-omics investigation. These results facilitate the understanding of pathological mechanisms and promote the diagnosis and prevention of MPDs.
越来越多的证据表明,主要精神障碍(MPD)具有共同的病因和病理过程。然而,目前的诊断是基于描述性症状,这忽略了潜在的发病机制,阻碍了临床治疗的发展。这凸显了表征分子生物标志物和建立 MPD 客观诊断的紧迫性。在这里,我们收集了 327 名 MPD 患者、131 名遗传高风险个体和 146 名健康对照者的非靶向代谢组学、蛋白质组学和 DNA 甲基化数据,以探讨 MPD 的多组学特征。首先,我们鉴定了差异代谢物(DMs),并根据 DMs 将 MPD 患者分为 3 种亚型。这些亚型表现出明显的代谢组学、蛋白质组学和 DNA 甲基化特征。具体而言,一种亚型表现出补体和凝血蛋白的失调,而 DNA 甲基化在化学突触和自噬中表现出异常。代谢途径的综合分析确定了柠檬酸循环、鞘脂代谢和氨基酸代谢的重要作用。最后,我们基于代谢物和蛋白质组学构建了预测模型,成功捕捉到 MPD 患者的风险。我们的研究通过多组学研究建立了 MPD 的分子亚型,并阐明了它们的生物学异质性。这些结果有助于理解病理机制,并促进 MPD 的诊断和预防。
