Metabolomics-transcriptomics joint analysis: unveiling the dysregulated cell death network and developing a diagnostic model for high-grade neuroblastoma

High-grade neuroblastoma (HG-NB) exhibits a significantly diminished survival rate in comparison to low-grade neuroblastoma (LG-NB), primarily attributed to the mechanism of HG-NB is unclear and the lacking effective therapeutic targets and diagnostic model. Therefore, the current investigation aims...

description High-grade neuroblastoma (HG-NB) exhibits a significantly diminished survival rate in comparison to low-grade neuroblastoma (LG-NB), primarily attributed to the mechanism of HG-NB is unclear and the lacking effective therapeutic targets and diagnostic model. Therefore, the current investigation aims to study the dysregulated network between HG-NB and LG-NB based on transcriptomics and metabolomics joint analysis. Meanwhile, a risk diagnostic model to distinguish HG-NB and LG-NB was also developed. Metabolomics analysis was conducted using plasma samples obtained from 48 HG-NB patients and 36 LG-NB patients. A total of 39 metabolites exhibited alterations, with 20 showing an increase and 19 displaying a decrease in HG-NB. Additionally, transcriptomics analysis was performed on NB tissue samples collected from 31 HG-NB patients and 20 LG-NB patients. Results showed that a significant alteration was observed in a total of 1,199 mRNAs in HG-NB, among which 893 were upregulated while the remaining 306 were downregulated. In particular, the joint analysis of both omics data revealed three aberrant pathways, namely the cAMP signaling pathway, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and TNF signaling pathway, which were found to be associated with cell death. Notably, a diagnostic model for HG-NB risk classification was developed based on the genes MGST1, SERPINE1, and ERBB3 with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.915. In the validation set, the sensitivity and specificity were determined to be 75.0% and 80.0%, respectively.
