Abstract:

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-QTOF-MS) based metabolomics was used to study the metabolism profiling of the plasma from the patients with ischemic stroke, aiming to seek the potential biomarkers of ischemic stroke. 30 patients with ischemic stroke and 17 healthy controls were enrolled. Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminate analysis were used to investigate the metabolic variations between the patients with ischemic stroke and healthy controls. Metabolic pathways were analyzed. Seven biomarkers were obtained. The levels of sphinganine and phytosphingosine were increased, and the levels of glutamine, pyroglutamic acid and 2-ketobutyric acid were decreased. The results of the pathway analysis showed that sphingolipid metabolism and amino acid metabolism were perturbed, and the energy metabolism was also disturbed.

Key words: Metabolomics, Ultra-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry, Ischemic stroke, Plasma
