Research Abstract |
Metabolomics is a powerful approach to discover new biomarkers of various diseases. In this study, we tried to develop the high sensitive and resolution metabolome analysis system. We first focused on a tumor suppressor gene, Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). We conducted the comprehensive quantification of water-soluble metabolites and proteins in colon cancer cells (both APC mutation cell and APC wild-type cell) using a mass spectrometry. We determined target metabolites for our system. We also found the levels of some metabolic enzymes were regulated by APC activity. These results suggest that APC mutation causes metabolite pathways in colon cancers.
