Study TitlePlasma instead of serum avoids critical confounding of clinical metabolomics studies by platelets (Part 3/3 - Plasma and serum metabolomics)
Study SummaryMetabolomics is an emerging and powerful molecular profiling method supporting clinical investigations. Serum and plasma are commonly used without rational prioritization. Serum is collected after blood coagulation, a complex biochemical process involving active platelet metabolism. This may affect the metabolome and increase the variance as platelet counts and function may vary substantially in individuals. A multi-omics approach systematically investigating the suitability of serum and plasma for clinical studies demonstrated that metabolites correlated well (n=461, R2=0.991), whereas lipid mediators (n=104, R2=0.906) and proteins (n=322, R2=0.860) differed substantially between specimen. Independently, analysis of platelet releasates identified most biomolecules significantly enriched in serum when compared to plasma. A prospective, randomized, controlled parallel group metabolomics trial with acetylsalicylic acid administered for 7 days demonstrated that the apparent drug effects significantly differ depending on analyzed specimen. Only serum analyses of healthy individuals suggested a significant downregulation of TXB2 and 12-HETE, which were specifically formed during coagulation in vitro. Plasma analyses reliably identified acetylsalicylic acid effects on metabolites and lipids occurring in vivo such as a decrease in polyunsaturated fatty acids. The present data suggests that plasma should be preferred above serum for clinical metabolomics studies as the serum metabolome may be substantially confounded by platelets.

Collection:

Collection ID:CO003177
Collection Summary:SERUM/PLASMA: Blood samples were obtained at baseline and after 7 days intake of the study medication. On both study days two blood samples using 6 mL K3EDTA and serum collection tubes (both Vacuette, Greiner Bio-One GmbH, Kremsmünster, Austria) were obtained from each subject. EDTA-anticoagulated tubes were carefully inverted two times after blood draw and centrifuged immediately at room temperature at 2000 g for 10 min. In contrast, filled serum tubes were carefully inverted after blood draw and placed to sit upright for 15 to 30 minutes to allow clot formation. Then, tubes were centrifuged at room temperature at 2000 g for 10 min. Directly after centrifugation, 500 µL of plasma or serum, respectively, were transferred into pre-labelled Eppendorf safe-lock tubes and stored at -80°C until analysis.
Sample Type:Blood (serum) and blood (plasma)
