Globally, breast cancer (BC) is leading at the top of women's diseases and, as a multifactorial disease, there is the need for the development of new approaches to aid clinicians on monitoring BC treatments. In this sense, metabolomic studies have become an essential tool allowing the establishment of interdependency among metabolites in biological samples. The combination of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and gas chromatography-quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-qMS) based metabolomic analyses of urine and breast tissue samples from BC patients and cancer-free individuals was used. Multivariate statistical tools were used in order to obtain a panel of metabolites that could discriminate malignant from healthy status assisting in the diagnostic field. Urine samples (n = 30), cancer tissues (n = 30) were collected from BC patients, cancer-free tissues were resected outside the tumor margin from the same donors (n = 30) while cancer-free urine samples (n = 40) where obtained from healthy subjects and analysed by NMR and GC-qMS methodologies. The orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis model showed a clear separation between BC patients and cancer-free subjects for both classes of samples. Specifically, for urine samples, the goodness of fit (R2Y) and predictive ability (Q2) was 0.946 and 0.910, respectively, whereas for tissue was 0.888 and 0.813, revealing a good predictable accuracy. The discrimination efficiency and accuracy of tissue and urine metabolites was ascertained by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis that allowed the identification of metabolites with high sensitivity and specificity. The metabolomic pathway analysis identified several dysregulated pathways in BC, including those related with lactate, valine, aspartate and glutamine metabolism. Additionally, correlations between urine and tissue metabolites were investigated and five metabolites (e.g. acetone, 3-hexanone, 4-heptanone, 2-methyl-5-(methylthio)-furan and acetate) were found to be significant using a dual platform approach. Overall, this study suggests that an improved metabolic profile combining NMR and GC-qMS may be useful to achieve more insights regarding the mechanisms underlying cancer.
