Abstract

To analyze the metabolic profiles of the female papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and the relationship between the metabolic profiles and primary tumor size and cervical lymph node metastasis using a metabolomics approach. Forty-three cases of female PTC were enrolled in this study. Gas chromatography-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and ultra performance liquid chromatography-time of flight-mass spectrometry were employed for analyzing metabolic profiles of tumor tissues and adjacent normal tissues in the female PTC. Cases were divided into Group T1 (tumor size≤2.0 cm) and Group T2 (tumor size>2.0 cm) according to the tumor size, and divided into Group N- (with negative cervical lymph node) and Group N+ (with positive cervical lymph node) according to the cervical lymph node conditions. We compared the metabolomic profiles between these groups. A panel of 46 differentially expressed metabolites was identified in the PTC specimens, compared with normal tissues. Increased metabolism of amino acid, purine and pyrimidine, tryptophan acid, one carbon, glycolysis, taurine and hypotaurine, and fatty acid were found in PTC tumors tissues. Amino acids, purine and pyridine, tryptophan, and carbon metabolism increased significantly in th...Continue Reading

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
