Abstract:: |
Objective To investigate the metabolite changes in rat plasma after total body irradiation (TBI) and to explore dose classification based on radiation sensitive metabolites. Methods The differential metabolites induced by radiation were screened and verified by metabolomics. In the discovery stage, 50 SD rats were irradiated with 0, 1, 2, 3, 5 and 8 Gy of 60Co γ-rays. In the verification stage, 25 rats were irradiated with 0, 0.5, 2.5, 4 and 6 Gy. Peripheral blood samples were collected 4 h after irradiation, and plasma was separated. Radiation-induced differential metabolites were identified and their concentrations were determined. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the differential metabolites was used to classify dose range. Results In the discovery stage, 8 radiation-induced differential metabolites in rat plasma were identified and four of them (cytosine, L-hexylcarnitine, Linoelaidylcarnitine and L-palmitylcarnitine) were upregulated, which was confirmed in the verification stage. The area under the curve (AUC) for the specific dose was >0.75. After combining these four metabolites, the AUC value to classify the radiation dose of 0 Gy versus>0 Gy,<2 Gy versus ≥2 Gy,<5 Gy versus ≥5 Gy were 0.96, 1 and 0.94, respectively. Conclusions The metabolites in rat plasma changed significantly at 4 h after TBI, where 8 differential metabolites were identified. Cytosine, L-hexylcarnitine, linoelaidylcarnitine and L-palmiylcarnitine were stably over-expressed in the plasma after irradiation. The combination of these four compounds had high classification accuracy and thus may applicable as radiation sensitive biomarkers for dose classification. |
