Multi-Omics Approach to Elucidate Cerebrospinal Fluid Changes in Dogs with Intervertebral Disc Herniation

ABSTRACT: Herniation of the intervertebral disc (IVDH) is the most common cause of neurological and intervertebral disc degeneration-related diseases. Since the disc starts to degenerate before it can be observed by currently available diagnostic methods, there is an urgent need for novel diagnostic approaches. To identify molecular networks and pathways which may play important roles in intervertebral disc herniation, as well as to reveal the potential features which could be useful for monitoring disease progression and prognosis, multi-omics profiling including high-resolution LC-MS-based metabolomics and proteomics was performed. Furthermore, multi-omics data were integrated to decipher a complex interaction between individual omic layers leading to improved prediction model. Together with metabolic pathways related to amino acids and lipid metabolism, and coagulation cascades, our integromics prediction model identified the key features in IVDH, namely the proteins FSTL1, SCG5, NUCB1 and CRSP2 and the metabolites N-acetyl-D-glucosamine and adenine, involved in neuropathic pain, myelination, neurotransmission and inflammatory response, respectively. Their clinical application is to be further investigated. The utilization of novel integrative interdisciplinary strategy may provide opportunities to apply the innovative diagnostic and monitoring methods for degenerative spinal disorders.

Project description:Uterine leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is the worst malignancy among the gynecologic cancers. Uterine leiomyoma (LM) is a benign tumor of myometrial origin and is the most common among women of childbearing age. Because the symptoms of women with LMS such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, palpable pelvic mass, and pelvic pain resemble with those of women with LM, it is difficult to preoperatively distinguish LMS and LM only by ultrasound and pelvic MRI. While histopathological diagnosis after hysterectomy is the current major means to distinguish them postoperatively, unusual histologic variants of LM tend to be misdiagnosed as LMS. Furthermore, the low incidence of LMS has been preventing elucidating its causal mechanisms and developing effective diagnoses and treatments. Therefore, development of molecular diagnosis as an alternative or confirmatory means helps diagnosing LMS more accurately. We adopted omics-based technologies to identify genome-wide features to distinguish LMS from LM, and revealed that copy-number, gene expression, and DNA methylation profiles successfully distinguished between these tumors. LMS was found to possess features typically observed in malignant solid tumors, such as extensive chromosomal abnormalities, overexpression of cell cycle –related genes, and hypomethylation spreading through large genomic regions as well as frequent hypermethylation at polycomb group target gene and cadherin gene loci. We also identified candidate expression and DNA methylation markers, which will help establishing diagnostic tests using conventional quantitative assays. While the identified omics-signatures and certain markers specific to LMS need to be further validated in larger numbers of LM and LMS samples, our results demonstrate the practical feasibility of establishing a postoperative diagnostic test to distinguish LMS from LM with high accuracy, and also suggest the future possibility of developing preoperative and non-invasive diagnostic methods.
