| Study Title | Untargeted Metabolomics Profiling of Human Plasma via LC-Q-TOF for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) Biomarker Discovery |
| Study Summary | 1. Background: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is a common otological disorder with complex etiologies and unclear pathophysiology. This study aimed to detect plasma metabolites in SSNHL, identify potential biomarkers, and uncover underlying metabolic mechanisms. 2. Methods: Participants: 64 SSNHL patients and 53 normal controls. Analysis: Plasma samples were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Metabolite profiling and multivariate statistical analyses (OPLS-DA, PLS-DA) were performed to screen differentially expressed metabolites. 3. Key Findings: Differential Metabolites: 130 metabolites were identified as significantly altered in SSNHL, primarily including: Lipids and lipid-like molecules (e.g., sphingosine), Amino acids and derivatives (e.g., anthranilic acid), Flavonoids (e.g., 6-hydroxyflavanone), Organic oxygen compounds involved in central carbon metabolism. Pathway Analysis: Enriched pathways included central carbon metabolism, protein digestion/absorption, aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis, and mineral absorption. 4. Conclusion: Plasma metabolite profiling shows promise as a non-invasive approach for SSNHL biomarker screening. Identified metabolites and pathways provide novel insights into SSNHL pathophysiology, potentially guiding future therapeutic strategies. |

| Project Title: | Untargeted Metabolomics Profiling of Human Plasma via LC-Q-TOF for sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) Biomarker Discovery |
| Project Type: | Untargeted Metabolomics |
| Project Summary: | This project focuses on untargeted metabolomic analysis of human plasma samples using advanced mass spectrometry techniques (LC-MS). The goal is to (1) characterize the metabolic profile of human plasma; (2) identify potential biomarkers or metabolic pathways associated with sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL); (3) provide foundational metabolomic data for further biomedical research. Raw data, analytical methods, and metabolite annotations are submitted for transparency and reproducibility. In this study, non-targeted metabolomic analysis revealed that the differentially expressed metabolites in plasma of SSNHL patients mainly focus on lipid and lipid-like molecules, amino acids and their derivatives, flavonoids, as well as organic oxygen compounds involved in central carbon metabolism and energy metabolic pathways such as tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates. |

| Sampleprep ID: | SP004167 |
| Sampleprep Summary: | Plasma samples were collected from 64 sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) patients and 53 healthy controls into EDTA-anticoagulated tubes after an overnight fast. Samples were centrifuged at 1500 × g for 15 min at 4°C, and 150 μL plasma aliquots were stored at –80°C. For metabolomic extraction, 100 μL thawed plasma was mixed with 400 μL cold methanol/acetonitrile (1:1, v/v), vortexed, sonicated for 30 min at low temperature, and incubated at –20°C for 10 min. The mixture was centrifuged at 14,000 × g for 20 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was vacuum-dried. The dried pellet was re-dissolved in 100 μL acetonitrile/water (1:1, v/v), centrifuged again at 14,000 × g for 15 min, and the supernatant was injected into the UHPLC-MS system. Quality control (QC) samples were prepared by pooling 10 μL of each plasma sample and inserted every 5 samples to monitor analytical reproducibility, validated via TIC overlap, PCA clustering, and RSD ≤ 30% for >80% of ion peaks. Total sum normalization was applied to preprocess data for inter-sample comparability. |
