| Study Title | Metabolic signature in combination with fecal immunochemical test as a non-invasive tool for advanced colorectal neoplasia diagnosis |
| Study Summary | Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide. Even the screening programs have decreased the incidence rates, the prognosis for CRC varies depending on the stage at the diagnosis. Thus, early diagnosis is still a big challenge because screening methods, and subsequent diagnosis, are not very sensitive. In this work, LC-MS based metabolomics, a powerful and sensitive tool to study complex dynamic changes, was used to analyse 211 human fecal samples from control individuals (CTRL), adenoma (AA), and CRC patients. Multivariate and univariate statistical analysis highlighted cholesteryl esters (CE) and fecal haemoglobin, quantified by fecal immunochemical test (FIT), as relevant biomarkers that clearly differentiate CRC from AA and CTRL. This study revealed that AA group is a transitionary stage with a high heterogeneity. The increased tendency observed in CEs from CTRL to CRC might be related with the imbalance of cholesterol homeostasis due to cancer cells requiring high cholesterol level for cell development and proliferation. The free cholesterol is probably obtained from CEs as it is the most effective way to obtain the needed cholesterol. |

Collection:
| Collection ID: | CO003925 |
| Collection Summary: | Patients and control individuals self-collected a fecal sample from one bowel movement without specific diet or medication restrictions at home the week before a colonoscopy was performed and delivered to the hospital. The fecal sample was sent to the laboratory in less than 4 hours, split in aliquots and immediately frozen at -80 °C. An additional sample was collected using the FIT collector and fecal haemoglobin concentration was assessed using the automated OCsensor™ (Eiken Chemical Co, Tokyo, Japan). Fecal haemoglobin concentration was considered positive if ≥ 20 µg Hb/g feces. |
| Sample Type: | Feces |
Treatment:
| Treatment ID: | TR003941 |
| Treatment Summary: | No treatment was used in this project. |
Sample Preparation:
| Sampleprep ID: | SP003938 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | 15 mg of fecal extracts were mixed with 45 µL sodium chloride (50 mM) and spiked with metabolites not detected in unspiked human normal extracts [SM(d18:1/16:0), PE (17:0/17:0), PC (19:0/19:0), TAG (13:0/13:0/13:0), Cer (d18:1/17:0), and CE (12:0)]. Samples were then vortexed and incubated for 1 hour at -20 °C. After centrifugation at 18,000 x g for 15 minutes at 4 °C, 50 µL of the organic phase was collected, and the remaining solvent discarded. The dried extracts were then reconstituted in 1000 µL of acetonitrile/isopropanol (1:1), centrifuged (18,000 x g for 5 minutes), and transferred to vials for UHPLC-MS analysis. This extraction method allowed the optimal profiling of previous mentioned lipid classes. |
