The Study on the Pathogenesis of Pediatric Lymphoma Based on the Combination of Pseudotargeted and Targeted Metabolomics

Pediatric lymphoma is a kind of malignant tumor with high mortality. The complexity of pediatric lymphoma shows a great challenge for effective diagnosis and treatment. In order to meet the challenge, the combination of pseudotargeted and targeted metabolomics was used to analyze the serum metabolites in pediatric lymphoma patients and healthy controls for discovering the metabolites related to pediatric lymphoma. The serum samples were obtained from the treatment group (n = 43), the control group (n = 26), and the patients group (n = 18). A total of 17 serum metabolites, including carnitine, leucine, creatine, urea, (6Z,9Z,12Z)-octadecatrienoic acid, linoleate, octadecenoic acid, L-palmitoylcarnitine, hexadecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, (9Z)-hexadecenoic acid, uric acid, glucose, 1-methylnicotinamide, hypoxanthine, L-glutamine, and taurine, were found to be related to pediatric lymphoma. They could provide a scientific diagnostic basis and therapeutic target for pediatric lymphoma and elucidate the mechanism of pediatric lymphoma.
