Reliable identification of prostate cancer using mass spectrometry metabolomic imaging in needle core biopsies

Overview
Metabolomic profiling can aid in understanding crucial biological processes in cancer development and progression and can also yield diagnostic biomarkers. Desorption electrospray ionization coupled to mass spectrometry imaging (DESI-MSI) has been proposed as a potential adjunct to diagnostic surgical pathology, particularly for prostate cancer. However, due to low resolution sampling, small numbers of mass spectra, and little validation, published studies have yet to test whether this method is sufficiently robust to merit clinical translation. We used over 900 spatially resolved DESI-MSI spectra to establish an accurate, high-resolution metabolic profile of prostate cancer. We identified 25 differentially abundant metabolites, with cancer tissue showing increased fatty acids (FAs) and phospholipids, along with utilization of the Krebs cycle, and benign tissue showing increased levels of lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Additionally, we identified, for the first time, two lyso-PEs with abundance that decreased with cancer grade and two phosphatidylcholines (PChs) with increased abundance with increasing cancer grade. Importantly, we developed and internally validated a multivariate metabolomic classifier for prostate cancer using 534 spatial regions of interest (ROIs) in the training cohort and 430 ROIs in the test cohort. With excellent statistical power, the training cohort achieved a balanced accuracy of 97% and validation on testing data set demonstrated 85% balanced accuracy. Given the validated accuracy of this classifier and the correlation of differentially abundant metabolites with established patterns of prostate cancer cell metabolism, we conclude that DESI-MSI is an effective tool for characterizing prostate cancer metabolism with the potential for clinical translation.
