Metabonomics identifies serum metabolite markers of colorectal cancer.

TLDR
A follow-up replication study aiming to identify a distinct serum metabolic signature of CRC with diagnostic potential demonstrated that a panel of serum metabolite markers is of great potential as a noninvasive diagnostic method for the detection of CRC.
Abstract
Recent studies suggest that biofluid-based metabonomics may identify metabolite markers promising for colorectal cancer (CRC) diagnosis We report here a follow-up replication study, after a previous CRC metabonomics study, aiming to identify a distinct serum metabolic signature of CRC with diagnostic potential Serum metabolites from newly diagnosed CRC patients (N = 101) and healthy subjects (N = 102) were profiled using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC–TOFMS) and ultraperformance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC–QTOFMS) Differential metabolites were identified with statistical tests of orthogonal partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (VIP > 1) and the Mann–Whitney U test (p < 005) With a total of 249 annotated serum metabolites, we were able to differentiate CRC patients from the healthy controls using an orthogonal partial least-squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) in a learning sample set of 62 CRC patients and 62 matched healt

Microbiome and colorectal cancer: Roles in carcinogenesis and clinical potential.

TL;DR: Current knowledge on the healthy microbiome of the gut and how it is altered in colorectal cancer and other related disease conditions is surveyed and a special focus on host-microbiome interaction mechanisms that may be important to explain how dysbiosis can lead to chronic inflammation and drive processes that influence carcinogenesis and tumor progression in colon cancer.

Randomised study of screening for colorectal cancer with faecal-occult-blood test

TL;DR: The findings indicate that biennial screening by FOB tests can reduce CRC mortality, and the effect of the removal of more precursor adenomas in the screening-group participants than in controls on CRC incidence.

The Expanded Biology of Serotonin

TL;DR: New work suggests that serotonin may regulate some processes, including platelet aggregation, by receptor-independent, transglutaminase-dependent covalent linkage to cellular proteins.
