Abstract
Description
[0001] Cross - reference to related applications
[0002] This application claims the priority of a Chinese patent application with the application number 202510043611.2 filed on January 10, 2025. The entire content of the above - mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference as part of this application. Technical field
[0003] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technologies, and particularly to a group of biomarkers for predicting the response of gout patients to colchicine and their applications. Background art
[0004] The main characteristics of a gout attack are pain, swelling, redness, and limited joint function, and most of them are unpredictable. After an attack, it is likely to lead to serious diseases such as cardiovascular diseases or venous thromboembolism. Colchicine is a commonly used anti - inflammatory drug and also a first - line anti - inflammatory preventive drug for early uric acid - lowering treatment. However, studies have found that only about 70% of patients respond to colchicine, and some patients are ineffective in using colchicine. This indicates the need for powerful biomarkers to predict the response of patients to colchicine, thereby improving treatment outcomes. Also, due to issues such as cost and side effects, more effective preventive treatments are preferred for certain individuals, such as preferentially choosing non - steroidal anti - inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or combined treatments. Currently, there are no reliable markers to predict the response to colchicine treatment. If patients who are ineffective in colchicine prevention can be identified in advance, the attacks of patients can be prevented more precisely.
[0005] Metabolic disorders can affect the regulation of the immune system, thus leading to the formation of diseases. For example, bile acid metabolism and purine metabolism are significantly different between the two groups of patients with frequent and infrequent gout attacks, but it is still unknown whether they are effective in predicting gout attacks. Metabolic changes represent the immune state of the body and may be related to the response to colchicine. Metabolites may be used to predict the effectiveness of colchicine. Summary of the invention

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and catalysts in the embodiments of the present invention are purchased through commercial channels.
[0038] In order to more clearly illustrate the overall concept of the present application, the following will be described in detail in the form of embodiments in conjunction with the drawings of the specification. In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In other examples, in order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some well-known technical features in the art are not described.
[0039] For those conditions not specified in the examples, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or the conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
[0040] Unless otherwise specified, in the following embodiments, the reagents or instruments used without indicating the manufacturer are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0041] Unless otherwise stated, the experimental methods, detection methods, and preparation methods disclosed in the present invention all adopt conventional techniques in microbiology, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, cell culture, and related fields conventional in the technical field.
[0042] The preventive response to colchicine included colchicine-effective prevention of gout attacks and colchicine-ineffective prevention of gout attacks. Effective was defined as no gout attacks during treatment, and ineffective was defined as at least one attack during treatment. Subjects must meet the following conditions: a) aged between 18 and 70 years, (b) no malignant disease, (c) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)>60mL / min / 1.73m 2 (d) Not in the acute phase.
[0043] Pre-experimental preparation: Participant data, including demographic data, physical examination (palpable tophi), medications, and serum samples were collected at enrollment. Serum biochemical indices, including serum uric acid (sUA), were measured by enzymatic colorimetry using an automated biochemical analyzer (Roche, Germany). All patients started uric acid-lowering therapy based on the treat-to-target principle with febuxostat or benzbromarone. Colchicine (0.5 mg, twice daily) was given for anti-inflammatory prevention for 3-6 months.
[0044] Participants were followed up every 2-4 weeks. The acute phase of gout was defined as a clinically evident acute inflammatory attack manifested by joint pain, swelling, or tenderness. Participants were divided into a colchicine-ineffective group (at least one gout attack during the follow-up period) and a colchicine-effective group (no gout attack).
[0045] The sample processing method involved in the following embodiment is as follows:
[0046] Sample preparation by protein precipitation: 50 μL of serum sample was mixed with 200 μL of ice-cold methanol at 4°C with internal standard, incubated for 15 min, centrifuged at 14,000 rpm at 4°C, and the supernatant was collected. The serum sample was divided into equal parts to prepare quality control samples.
[0047] UHPLC (Nexera UHPLC LC-30A, SHIMADZU Technologies, Japan) and a quadrupole time-of-flight (QTOF) mass spectrometer (AB 6600 TripleTOF, SCIEX, Canada) acquired data in positive and negative ionization modes in a data-dependent acquisition mode. Chromatographic separation was performed using a Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH Amide column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm).
[0048] The mass spectrometry conditions were as follows:
[0049] (1) Chromatographic conditions Samples were separated using a Vanquish LC ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) HILIC column; column temperature was 25 °C; flow rate was 0.5 mL / min; injection volume was 2 μL; the mobile phase composition was A: water + 25 mM ammonium acetate + 25 mM ammonia, B: acetonitrile; the gradient elution program was as follows: 0 - 0.5 min, 95% B; 0.5 - 7 min, B linearly changed from 95% to 65%; 7 - 8 min, B linearly changed from 65% to 40%; 8 - 9 min, B was maintained at 40%; 9 - 9.1 min, B linearly changed from 40% to 95%; 9.1 - 12 min, B was maintained at 95%; during the entire analysis process, the samples were placed in a 4 °C autosampler. To avoid the influence caused by fluctuations in the instrument detection signal, the samples were analyzed continuously in a random order. QC samples were inserted into the sample queue to monitor and evaluate the stability of the system and the reliability of the experimental data.
[0050] (2) Orbitrap Exploris TM 480 mass spectrometry conditions After the samples were separated using a Vanquish LC ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system, mass spectrometry analysis was performed using an Orbitrap Exploris TM 480 mass spectrometer (Thermo), and electrospray ionization (ESI) positive and negative ion modes were used for detection respectively. The ESI source and mass spectrometry setting parameters were as follows: Nebulizing gas Auxiliary heating gas 1 (Gas1): 50, Auxiliary heating gas 2 (Gas2): 2, Ion source temperature: 350 °C, Spray voltage (ISVF) positive ion mode 3500 V, negative ion mode 2800 V; Primary mass-to-charge ratio detection range: 70 - 1200 Da, Resolution: 60000, Scan accumulation time: 100 ms, For the secondary stage, a segmented acquisition method was used, the scan range was 70 - 1200 Da, Secondary resolution: 60000, Scan accumulation time: 100 ms, Dynamic exclusion time: 4 s.
[0051] The raw data (.wiff files) were converted to the mzML format using ProteoWizard software (version 3.0.23132, https: / / proteowizard.sourceforge.io / ). Metabolomics analysis was performed using the R package "XCMS", excluding features with a QC coefficient of variation > 30%. According to the MSI (Metabolomics Standards Initiative) requirements, MS / MS spectra were extracted, and for each MS feature, the obtained MS / MS spectra were compared with the Human Metabolome Database (HMDB), MassBank of North America (MoNA), Massbank, and Global Natural Products Social Molecular Network (GNPS) for annotation. If a feature was identified by multiple annotations, the priorities of MSI and products were considered to select the most reliable annotation.
[0052] Example 1 Screening of Biomarkers and Construction of a Model
[0053] In this example, clinical variables and metabolite content data of individuals were specifically collected for the colchicine effective group and the ineffective group. The metabolite content data were determined by non-targeted liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and the specific data analysis methods are as follows:
[0054] For clinical variables, the data were compared using ANOVA, t-tests, or rank sum tests (where applicable).
[0055] For metabolite content data, unsupervised principal component analysis (PCA) and supervised orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLSDA) were performed using the R packages "MixOmics" and "ropls". The importance of each metabolite differential variable was measured using VIP and p-values. For metabolic network analysis, a KEGG-based metabolic network was constructed using the R package "FELLA". Network analysis was performed using differential metabolites, and nodes with p < 0.05 were filtered into sub-networks and imported into Cytoscape for visualization.
[0056] The experimental cohort in this study was divided into a discovery set and an independent validation set. Biomarker selection was performed using MUVR (Multivariate Unbiased Variable Selection Method). The model was trained and validated. Briefly, 10-fold cross-validation was performed to avoid overfitting of the model in the training set. The performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). The metabolite intensities were normalized to the range of 0 to 1 to build the model. All statistical analyses were performed using R (4.3.1) or SPSS software.
[0057] A total of 409 participants were involved in this study. In the discovery cohort (319 people), 104 participants had at least one gout attack (non - responder group), while 215 participants did not have an attack during the follow - up period (responder group). Compared with the responder group, the non - responder group showed more frequent gout attacks in the previous year (Table 1). There were no differences in most clinical characteristics or biochemical markers (including serum uric acid, lipids, and eGFR, etc.) between the two groups.

[0060]
[0061] For categorical variables, data are presented as n (%). For continuous variables, values are presented as mean (SD) or median (IQR) where appropriate. BMI: body mass index; FBG: fasting blood glucose; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate. Dyslipidemia includes hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. Liver disease is hepatic steatosis. * indicates p < 0.05.
[0062] Metabolic profiles between the responder and non - responder groups of colchicine
[0063] A total of 992 metabolites with known structures were identified by the non - targeted platform. We observed separate metabolic profiles between the responder and non - responder groups in PCA ( Figure 1 A) and OPLSDA ( Figure 1 B) analyses. A total of 49 metabolites showed significant changes (VIP > 1 and FDR < 0.05) between the two groups ( Figure 2 and Table 2). In the non - responder group, leukotriene B4 increased most significantly (2.8 - fold) ( Figure 1 C); amino acids - histidine, sarcosine, N - (phosphonoethyl) glycine, etc. also increased significantly; the most decreased were lipids. After mapping these metabolites to KEGG, the enriched pathways were the PPAR signaling pathway, beta - alanine metabolism, and protein digestion and absorption ( Figure 1 D). The metabolic network was mainly involved in changes in amino acid metabolism and inflammation - related signaling pathways ( Figure 1 E). These metabolic changes were related to the response to colchicine.

[0067]
[0068] Biomarkers for predicting reactions
[0069] To select metabolites for predicting the effectiveness of colchicine, MUVR was used to screen for potential biomarkers. After multiple trainings, according to the variable importance ranking ( Figure 3 A), the top ten metabolites include: Creatinine, Smd42:3, Cis-13-docosenoic acid, Gitoxin, Tricosanoic acid, sarcosine, bilirubin, N2-trifluoroacetyl-l-glutamine, 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid, 3-methylxanthine. Prediction models (LASSO regression, random forest, and support vector machine) were constructed using the top five metabolites. The LASSO model performed the best. The metabolites (Creatinine, Smd42:3, Cis-13-docosenoic acid, Gitoxin, Tricosanoic acid) had an AUC of 0.657 (95% CI 0.595 - 0.719) for the non-effective group in the discovery cohort ( Figure 3 B). After adding traditional clinical variables such as age, body mass index (BMI), gout duration, tophus, serum uric acid level, and attack frequency in the past year, the AUC reached 0.768 (95% CI 0.711 - 0.825), greatly improving the accuracy of the prediction model. Additionally, in the independent validation cohort, the AUC was 0.715 (95% 0.592 - 0.838), and the model performed well.
[0070] A Logistic regression equation was established using Logistic regression analysis:
[0071] Formula:
[0072] Logit(P) = 1.992 + 0.038*(Relative content of creatinine) - 0.061*(Relative content of Sm d42:3) + 0.057*(Relative content of erucic acid) + 0.027*(Relative content of digitoxigenin) - 0.051*(Relative content of tricosanoic acid) + 0.001*Age - 0.008*Body mass index + 0.000045*Serum uric acid - 0.013*Disease course - 0.087*Tophus - 0.056*Attack frequency in the past year.
[0073] Among them, age and gout disease course are in years; body mass index is in kg / m 2 as the unit; tophus is divided into presence or absence; serum uric acid is in μmol / L; attack frequency in the past year is in times. In the specific embodiments of the present invention, the presence of tophus is recorded as 1 and the absence of tophus is recorded as 0.
[0074] The threshold is 0.5. If the score is higher than the threshold, it is determined as an invalid person, and if the score is lower than the threshold, it is determined as an effective person.
[0075] Example 2 Practical application of biomarkers and models
[0076] Randomly select 100 subjects from the effective group and the invalid group respectively. After collecting venous blood, use the biomarkers and system of the present invention to identify by the method of Example 1. The results are shown in Table 3 through detection.
[0077] The subjects must meet the following conditions: a) aged between 18 - 70 years old, (b) without malignant diseases, (c) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 60 mL / min / 1.73m 2 (d) not in the acute attack period.
[0078] Preparation before the experiment: Collect participant information at the time of enrollment, including demographic data, physical examination (palpable tophus), drug and serum samples. Use the enzyme colorimetric method to measure serum biochemical indexes, including serum uric acid (sUA), using an automatic biochemical analyzer (Roche, Germany). All patients started uric acid-lowering treatment based on the treatment-to-target principle with febuxostat or benzbromarone. Colchicine (0.5 mg, twice a day) was given for anti-inflammatory prophylaxis for a course of 3 - 6 months.
[0079] The participants were followed up every 2 - 4 weeks. The acute gout period was defined as a clinically obvious acute inflammatory attack, manifested as joint pain, swelling or tenderness. The participants were divided into the colchicine ineffective group (at least one gout attack during the follow-up period) and the colchicine effective group (no gout attack). Among them, the calculation formulas for sensitivity, specificity and accuracy are as follows:
[0080] Sensitivity = (Number of people detected as positive in the invalid group / Total number of people in the invalid group) * 100%;
[0081] Specificity = (Number of data detected as negative in the effective group / Total number of people in the effective group) * 100%;
[0082] Accuracy = [(Number of people detected as positive in the invalid group + Number of people detected as negative in the effective group) / Total number of test subjects] * 100%. Specific embodiments:
[0084] A patient in the invalid group, 66 years old, with a body mass index of 23.44 kg / m 2 , with a history of gout for 12 years, blood uric acid of 576 μmol / L, gout attacks once in the past year, and tophi. The relative content of creatinine in the metabolite test result is -0.94, Sm d42:3 is 0.74, erucic acid is -0.0058, digitoxigenin is -0.37, tricosanoic acid is 0.22. After calculation, the predicted risk score is 1.05, which is greater than 0.5, and the prediction of the present invention is accurate. (The values of the relative content of metabolites are processed by normalization from 0 to 1).
