Using Serum Amino Acids to Predict Traumatic Brain Injury: A Systematic Approach to Utilize Multiple Biomarkers

International Journal of Molecular Sciences

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause biochemical and metabolomic alterations in the brain tissue and serum. These alterations can be used for diagnosis and prognosis of TBI. Here, the serum concentrations of seventeen amino acids (AA) were studied for their potential utility as biomarkers of TBI. Twenty-five female, 4-week-old piglets received diffuse (n = 13) or focal (n = 12) TBI. Blood samples were obtained both pre-injury and at either 24-h or 4-days post-TBI. To find a robust panel of biomarkers, the results of focal and diffuse TBIs were combined and multivariate logistic regression analysis, coupled with the best subset selection technique and repeated k-fold cross-validation method, was used to perform a thorough search of all possible subsets of AAs. The combination of serum glycine, taurine, and ornithine was optimal for TBI diagnosis, with 80% sensitivity and 86% overall prediction rate, and showed excellent TBI diagnostic performance, with 100% sensitivity and 78% overall prediction rate, on a separate validation dataset including four uninjured and five injured animals. We found that combinations of biomarkers outperformed any single biomarker. We propose this 3-AA serum biomarker panel to diagnose mild-to-modera...Continue Reading

Brain Injury & Trauma

brain injury after impact to the head is due to both immediate mechanical effects and delayed responses of neural tissues.
