The purpose of this study was to identify early circulating metabolite changes implicated in the mechanism of action of irinotecan, a DNA topoisomerase I inhibitor, in cancer patients. A liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based targeted metabolomic platform capable of measuring 254 endogenous metabolites was applied to profile circulating metabolites in plasma samples collected pre- and post-irinotecan treatment from 13 cancer patients. To gain further mechanistic insights, metabolic profiling was also performed for the culture medium of human primary hepatocytes (HepatoCells) and 2 cancer cell lines on exposure to SN-38 (an active metabolite of irinotecan). Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by dihydroethidium assay. Irinotecan induced a global metabolic change in patient plasma, as represented by elevations of circulating purine/pyrimidine nucleobases, acylcarnitines, and specific amino acid metabolites. The plasma metabolic signature was well replicated in HepatoCells medium on SN-38 exposure, whereas in cancer cell medium SN-38 induced accumulation of pyrimidine/purine nucleosides and nucleobases while having no impact on acylcarnitines and amino acid metabolites. SN-38 induced ROS in HepatoCells, but not in cancer cells. Distinct metabolite signatures of SN-38 exposure in HepatoCells medium and cancer cell medium revealed different mechanisms of drug action on hepatocytes and cancer cells. Elevations in circulating purine/pyrimidine nucleobases may stem from nucleotide degradation following irinotecan-induced DNA double-strand breaks. Accumulations of circulating acylcarnitines and specific amino acid metabolites may reflect, at least in part, irinotecan-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in the liver. The plasma metabolic signature of irinotecan exposure provides early insights into irinotecan mechanism of action in patients.
