Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of deaths globally. Identification of serum metabolic biomarkers for its early diagnosis is thus much desirable. Serum samples were collected from healthy controls (n = 86) and patients with CHD (n = 166) and subjected to untargeted and targeted metabolomics analyses. Subsequently, potential biomarkers were detected and screened, and a clinical model was developed for diagnosing CHD. Four dysregulated metabolites, namely PC(17:0/0:0), oxyneurine, acetylcarnitine, and isoundecylic acid, were identified. Isoundecylic acid was not found in Human Metabolome Database, so we could not validate differences in its relative abundance levels. Further, the clinical model combining serum oxyneurine, triglyceride, and weight was found to be more robust than that based on PC(17:0/0:0), oxyneurine, and acetylcarnitine (AUC = 0.731 vs. 0.579, sensitivity = 83.0 vs. 75.5%, and specificity = 64.0 vs. 46.5%). Our findings indicated that serum metabolomics is an effective method to identify differential metabolites and that serum oxyneurine, triglyceride, and weight appear to be promising biomarkers for the early diagnosis of CHD.

A metabonomics approach based on liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF/MS) was utilized to obtain potential biomarkers of coronary heart disease (CHD) patients and investigate the ZHENG types differentiation in CHD patients. The plasma samples of 20 CHD patients with phlegm syndrome, 20 CHD patients with blood-stasis syndrome, and 16 healthy volunteers were collected in the study. 26 potential biomarkers were identified in the plasma of CHD patients and 19 differential metabolites contributed to the discrimination of phlegm syndrome and blood-stasis syndrome in CHD patients(VIP>1.5; P<0.05)which mainly involved purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, amino acid metabolism, steroid biosynthesis, and arachidonic acid metabolism. This study demonstrated that metabonomics approach based on LC-MS was useful for studying pathologic changes of CHD patients and interpreting the differentiation of ZHENG types (phlegm and blood-stasis syndrome) in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

To improve the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), personalized treatments based on potential biomarkers could make a difference. To investigate if such potential biomarkers could be found for CHD inhomogeneous, we combined traditional Chinese medicine based diagnosis with untargeted and targeted metabolomics analyses. Shi and Xu patient subtype groups of CHD with angina pectoris were identified. Different metabolites including lipids, fatty acids and amino acids were further analyzed with targeted metabolomics and mapped to disease-related pathways. The long-chain unsaturated lipids ceramides metabolism, bile acid metabolism were differentially affected in the Xu subtype groups. While, Shi-subtype patients seemed to show inflammation, anomalous levels of bioactive phospholipids and antioxidant molecules. Furthermore, variations in the endothelial damage response and energy metabolism found based on ELISA analysis are the key divergence points between different CHD subtypes. The results showed Xu subtype patients might benefit from long-chain unsaturated lipids ceramides as therapeutic targets. Shi subtype patients might benefit more from levels of polyunsaturated fatty acid consumption and treatments that help in restoring energy balance. Metabolic differences can be essential for treatment protocols. Thus, patient group specific differences can serve as important information to refine current treatment approaches in a personalized manner.

Paraoxonase (PON) is a hydrolyase correlated with many chronic diseases. The use of 9-(4-chlorophenyloxycarbonyl)-10-methylacridinium triflate ester (CPOCMA) as a substrate for determination of serum arylesterase PON activity had been reported. It is meaningful to compare this substrate with phenyl acetate further with serum samples of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD, n=104). Correlations of PON arylesterase activity with CHD and also with age were analyzed. There was no significant difference in serum arylesterase activity (based on the CPOCMA or the phenyl acetate) between of the CHD inpatients and controls at same age level (45-60 years old). Statistically negative correlation of serum PON CPOCMAase activity (p=0.020) but not the activity based on phenyl acetate (p>0.05) with age was observed. Based on the both substrates, significant decrease in PON activity was found in the old CHD inpatients (≥60 years old), compared with that in the young CHD inpatients (<60 years old), or with that in the young controls. The methods based on CPOCMA substrate and based on the phenyl acetate demonstrated consistent results in correlation with CHD, but different results in correlation of PON activity with age.

Aim. To analyze the serum metabolites in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) showing dampness syndrome and patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) showing dampness syndrome and to seek the substance that serves as the underlying basis of dampness syndrome in “same syndromes in different diseases.” Methods. Metabolic spectrum by GC-MS was performed using serum samples from 29 patients with CHD showing dampness syndrome and 32 patients with CRF showing dampness syndrome. The principal component analysis and statistical analysis of partial least squares were performed to detect the metabolites with different levels of expression in patients with CHD and CRF. Furthermore, by comparing the VIP value and data mining in METLIN and HMDB, we identified the common metabolites in both patient groups. Results. (1) Ten differential metabolites were found in patients with CHD showing dampness syndrome when compared to healthy subjects. Meanwhile, nine differential metabolites were found in patients with CRF showing dampness syndrome when compared to healthy subjects. (2) There were 9 differential metabolites identified when the serum metabolites of the CHD patients with dampness syndrome were compared to those of CRF patients with dampness syndrome. There were 4 common metabolites found in the serums of both patient groups.
