Association of serum levels of deoxyribose 1‑phosphate and S‑lactoylglutathione with neoadjuvant chemotherapy sensitivity in patients with gastric cancer: A metabolomics study
Year: 2020
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: The present study screened serum samples from patients with advanced-stage gastric cancer and known sensitivities to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, in order to identify metabolites that may serve as potential biomarkers for chemotherapy sensitivity. A total of 47 patients with stage III (T4b) or IV gastric cancer, including 31 in the training group and 16 in a validation group, were classified based on their responses to conversion therapy consisting of oxaliplatin, tegafur and continuous hyperthermic peritoneal perfusion with cisplatin. Serum samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry to obtain a metabolite profile of each patient. Patients who were responsive and non-responsive to neoadjuvant chemotherapy exhibited significant differences in serum levels of deoxyribose 1-phosphate, S-lactoylglutathione, lysophosphatidylcholine (16:0) and O-arachidonoyl ethanolamine. Logistic regression analysis indicated that deoxyribose 1-phosphate and S-lactoylglutathione were independently associated with chemosensitivity. Serum levels of deoxyribose 1-phosphate and S-lactoylglutathione were independently associated with the sensitivity of gastric cancer to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, therefore, serving as potential predictors of patient response.
