Abstract

Objective: To investigate the metabolomic differences between Traumatic brain injury (TBI) disorder of consciousness (DOC) patients and non-traumatic brain injury (NTBI) DOC patients by using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum and urine samples beneficial to understand the pathological mechanism differences between the two etiologies, provide potential clues for the subsequent treatment and prognosis, and investigate the metabolome differences and similarities between TBI and NTBI among three different body fluids.

Methods: In total, 24 TBI DOC subjects and 29 NTBI DOC subjects were enrolled. CSF, serum and urine samples from TBI DOC and NTBI DOC patients were collected and analyzed by performing UPLC-MS. The statistical methods and pathway analyses were applied to discover potential biomarkers and altered metabolic functions.

Results: When comparing TBI DOC and NTBI DOC, 36, 31 and 52 differential metabolites were obtained in CSF, serum and urine, respectively. The functional analysis of differential metabolites obtained in CSF, serum and urine were all related to amino acid metabolism. Except for amino acid metabolism, metabolic biomarkers in CSF, serum and urine mainly focus on central function, cognitive function, necrosis and apoptosis and neurological function, respectively. In CSF, the highest AUC was 0.864 (Isoproturon) and 0.816 (Proline betaine). Then, the AUC of NFurfurylformamide in serum was 0.941, while the AUC of Dihydronepetalactone and Doxepin N-oxide glucuronide were 1.0 in urine.

Conclusion: CSF, serum and urine metabolomic analyses could differentiate TBI DOC from NTBI DOC and functional analyses showed a metabolic change difference between TBI DOC and NTBI DOC.
