This study identified novel non-invasive diagnostic and staging biomarkers for bladder cancer through mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, which may improve the management of the disease.
Purpose Bladder cancer (BC) is among the most frequent malignancies worldwide. Novel non-invasive markers are needed to diagnose and stage BC with more accuracy than invasive procedures like cystoscopy. To date, no study has identified urine metabolites characteristic of all BC stages. To discover novel urine metabolomic profiles to diagnose and stage non-muscle-invasive (NMIBC) and muscle-invasive (MIBC) patients using mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Methods We prospectively recruited 198 BC patients and 98 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers without evidence of renal or bladder condition confirmed by ultrasound, from whom we collected a first morning urine sample (before surgery in patients). In a discovery stage, an untargeted metabolomic analysis was conducted in urine samples of a selection of 64 BC patients (19 TaG1, 11 TaG3, 20 T1G3, 12 T2G3, 1 T2G2, 1 T3G3) and 20 controls to identify dysregulated metabolites. Next, after exhaustive multivariate analysis, confirmed dysregulated metabolites were validated in an independent cohort of 134 BC patients (19 TaG1, 62 TaG2, 9 TaG3, 15 T1G2, 16 T1G3, 4 T2G2, 9 T2G3) and 78 controls. Results We validated p-cresol glucuronide as potential diagnostic biomarker for BC patients compared to controls (AUC = 0.79). For NMIBC, p-cresol glucuronide was valuable as staging biomarker (AUC = 0.803). And among NMIBCs, p-coumaric acid may be a potential specific staging biomarker for the TaG1 NMIBC; however, future validation experiments should be conducted once the precise version of the standard is commercially available. Remarkably, for MIBC we validated spermine as potential specific staging biomarker (AUC = 0.882). Conclusion Ours is the first metabolomics study conducted in urine of a thoroughly characterized cohort comprising all stages of NMIBC, MIBC and healthy controls in which we identified non-invasive diagnostic and staging biomarkers. These may improve BC management, thus reducing the use of current harmful diagnostic techniques.
