ABSTRACT

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a common, chronic and complex upper gastrointestinal disease. In Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, GERD is classified into two main types: stagnant heat of liver and stomach (SHLS) and deficient cold of spleen and stomach (DCSS). The discovery and evaluation of potential biomarkers for different syndrome types of GERD may contribute to comprehend specific molecular mechanism and identify new targets for diagnosis and appropriate management. In our study, 60 subjects including 40 GERD patients (20 SHLS and 20 DCSS) and 20 healthy controls were recruited, and the serum and urine metabolic profiles from untargeted liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) metabolomics approach were obtained. Finally 38 biomarkers associated with disease were identified and 9 metabolic pathway s were enriched. The most enriched pathways were amino acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, glycerophospholipid metabolism, sphingolipid metabolism and TCA cycle. According to the area under curve (AUC) value, we propose a cohort of three metabolites from urine and serum samples as promising biomarkers for TCM syndrome differentiation of GERD, which are prolylhydroxyproline, glycitein-4'-O-glucuronide, capsianoside I in urine and neuAcalpha2-3Galbeta-Cer (d18:1/16:0), sphinganine, arachidonic acid in serum. The cumulative AUC value of merged biomarkers in urine and serum was 0.979 (95%CI 0.927-1) and 0.842 (95%CI 0.704-0.980), respectively. The results indicated that LC-MS based metabolomic profiling method might be an effective and promising tool on further pathogenesis discovering of GERD. The findings provided new strategy for the diagnosis of GERD TCM syndrome differentiation in clinic.
