description ObjectiveMetabolomics has found extensive applications in the field of neurological diseases, significantly contributing to their diagnosis and treatment. However, there has been limited research applying metabolomics to moyamoya disease (MMD). This study aims to investigate and identify differential metabolites associated with MMD.MethodsWe employed a liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS) approach, complemented by univariate and multivariate analyses, to discern metabolic biomarkers in cerebrospinal fluid samples. We then compared these biomarkers between MMD patients and healthy controls (Ctl).ResultsSixteen patients diagnosed with MMD via cerebral angiography and eight healthy controls were enrolled in this study. Comparative analyses, including univariate and multivariate analyses, correlation studies, heatmaps, Volcano Plots, and KEGG pathway enrichment, were performed between MMD patients and controls. As a result, we identified 129 significant differential metabolites in the cerebrospinal fluid between MMD patients and controls. These metabolic biomarkers are associated with various pathways, with notable involvement in purine and pyrimidine metabolism.ConclusionUtilizing an LC-MS-based metabolomics approach holds promise for enhancing the clinical diagnosis of MMD. The identified biomarkers offer potential avenues for the development of novel diagnostic methods for MMD and offer fresh insights into the pathogenesis of the disease.
