Metabolic profiles of squamous cell lung carcinoma and diagnostic model construction. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
Analysis of public LUSC data confirmed associations between the expression levels of genes encoding enzymes involved in the biosynthesis pathways of arginine, proline (ASL, OTC, PYCR2), PC (CEPT1, CHPT1, LPCAT1) and LPC (LCAT, PLA2G16, PLB1) with a 5-yr survival outcome. The observed metabolic reprogramming in LUSC patients suggested the potential utility of metabolites as a supportive biomarkers for LUSC diagnosis.
