Abstract

Myocardial Infarction (MI) is one of the most common causes of deaths worldwide. Thiols have been reported to play a key role in physiological and pathological processes of MI. Comprehensive analysis of thiols would be conducive to fully elucidate the relation between thiols and MI. In the current study, we analyze the metabolomic differences of thiols in serum between MI patients (n = 30) and healthy controls (HCs, n = 30) by stable isotope labeling-dispersive solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-full scan-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry analysis (IL-DSPE-LC-full scan-Orbitrap MS) method. We detected 300 potential thiols in serum of MI patients and HCs, among which, 67 thiols were positively or putatively identified. Furthermore, we found that the levels of 71 thiols in serum exhibited significant difference between MI patients and HCs. In the transsulfuration pathway, we observed that Cys and Hcys were upregulated, while GSH were downregulated. Our results provide a comprehensive understanding of thiols metabolome in human serum between MI patients and HCs.
