Abstract
Few studies have addressed the impact of diagnostic urine metabolites and the clinical outcomes associated with genitourinary urothelial (GU) cancer to date. Furthermore, longitudinal analysis of the dynamics of urine metabolites contributing to the detection of GU cancer has not yet been fully investigated; therefore, the discovery of novel diagnostic urine biomarkers is of enormous interest. We explored the correlation of the urine metabolomic profiles to GU cancers. The aqueous metabolites of the GU cancer and the control were also identified and analyzed through high-resolution1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Compared with the control, the urine metabolites of the tumor were studied in relation to changes over time in a linear mixed model for repeated measures. The urine metabolites of sixty-three (44 male and 19 female) patients with GU cancers were systemically analyzed. The urine metabolite profile in GU cancer was significantly higher than those in the control group (p<0.05). Sevenurine metabolites including histidine, propylene glycol, valine, leucine, acetylsalicylate, glycine, and isoleucine as well as other pathways were identified statistically and were significantly associated with GU cancer detection with longitudinal analysis. We discovered that histidine, propylene glycol, valine, leucine, acetylsalicylate, glycine, isoleucine, succinic acid, lysine2-aminobutyric acid, and acetic acid are involved significantly in all types of male patients in whom the type (upper tract) of urine metabolites were found to be statistically significant compared with the control. We did not find any statistical significance in urine biomarkers between female and male patients. However, a statistically insignificant correlation was found among the grade and stage with the metabolites.
