Detection of Lung Cancer via Blood Plasma and 1H-NMR Metabolomics: Validation by a Semi-Targeted and Quantitative Approach Using a Protein-Binding Competitor.


ABSTRACT: Metabolite profiling of blood plasma, by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy, offers great potential for early cancer diagnosis and unraveling disruptions in cancer metabolism. Despite the essential attempts to standardize pre-analytical and external conditions, such as pH or temperature, the donor-intrinsic plasma protein concentration is highly overlooked. However, this is of utmost importance, since several metabolites bind to these proteins, resulting in an underestimation of signal intensities. This paper describes a novel 1H-NMR approach to avoid metabolite binding by adding 4 mM trimethylsilyl-2,2,3,3-tetradeuteropropionic acid (TSP) as a strong binding competitor. In addition, it is demonstrated, for the first time, that maleic acid is a re
