Abstract

Abstract : Objective: Metabolic syndrome (MS) has become a health and financial burden worldwide. Susceptibility of genetically determined metabotype of MS has not yet been investigated. We aimed to identify a distinctive metabolic profile of blood serum which might correlates to the early detection of the development of MS associated to genetic polymorphism. Design and method: We applied high resolution NMR spectroscopy to profile blood serum from patients without MS (n = 945) or with (n = 291). Principal component analysis (PCA) and projection to latent structures for discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) were applied to NMR spectral datasets. Results were cross-validated using the Venetian Blinds approach. Additionally, five SNPs previously associated with MS were genotyped with SNPlex and tested for associations between the metabolic profiles and the genetic variants. Statistical analysis was performed using in-house MATLAB scripts and the PLS Toolbox statistical multivariate analysis library. Results: Our analysis provided a PLS-DA Metabolic Syndrome discrimination model based on NMR metabolic profile (AUC = 0.86) with 84% of sensitivity and 72% specificity. The model identified 11 metabolites differentially regulated in patients with MS. Among others, fatty acids, glucose, alanine, hydroxyisovalerate, acetone, trimethylamine, 2-phenylpropionate, isobutyrate and valine, significantly contributed to the model. The combined analysis of metabolomics and SNP data revealed an association between the metabolic profile of MS and genes polymorphism involved in the adiposity regulation and fatty acids metabolism: rs2272903_TT (TFAP2B), rs3803_TT (GATA2), rs174589_CC (FADS2) and rs174577_AA (FADS2). In addition, individuals with the rs2272903-TT genotype seem to develop MS earlier than general population. Conclusions: Our study provides new insights on the metabolic alterations associated with a MS high-risk genotype. These results could help in future development of risk assessment and predictive models for subclinical cardiovascular disease.
