Metabolomics has been applied in several studies on cancer, but few studies have screened potential biomarkers for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) by integrating two mass mass spectrometers. This study aims to identify differentially expressed metabolites in plasma samples from patients with RCC compared with healthy individuals, which could be used as potential biomarkers to detect RCC. Plasma samples from 48 patients diagnosed with RCC and 22 healthy individuals were analyzed. Two mass spectrometers were utilized: liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Ceramide m40:0 was significantly less abundant in plasma samples from patients with RCC (P < 0.05), whereas kynureine metabolites and glucose metabolites were significantly more abundant in plasma samples from patients with RCC compared with healthy controls (P < 0.05). A selection of 21 metabolites was utilized to construct an optimal diagnostic model, which achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) value of 0.860 (95% confidence interval 0.736-0.960). Significant differences were identified in the metabolic pathways of nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis, and beta-alanine metabolism between the RCC group and the control group (P < 0.05). The combined use of LC-MS and GC-MS effectively identified differentially expressed metabolites and dysregulated pathways based on analysis of plasma samples from patients with RCC compared with healthy individuals. The diagnostic model demonstrated robust performance with an AUC of 0.860, highlighting its reliability for RCC identification.

Flavor is a pivotal indicator influencing the meat quality and palatability of premium broiler chickens, shaped by multiple factors. The flavor differences among broiler chicken breeds/lines stem from the specificity of their metabolite profiles and volatile flavor compounds. This study aims to identify key metabolites and pathways that regulate flavor variations in high-quality broilers, providing data support and theoretical references for breeding superior broiler lines and developing technologies to enhance flavor quality. Breast Muscle tissue from 15-week-old roosters of the S3 and H lines (n = 6) was used as experimental material. Broad-targeted metabolomics and volatile metabolomics technologies were employed to identify key metabolites and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) influencing the flavor of breast meat in these two high-quality broiler lines. Broad-target metabolomics identified 167 differentially expressed metabolites (VIP > 1, p p 1 and p < 0.05). The flavor differences between the two strains primarily involved fatty and grassy flavor. Key flavor markers included 2-Nonanone, 2-Nonanone, 3-hydroxymethyl, 2-Methylheptanoic acid, and Hexanoic acid, butyl ester as the primary flavor markers. These significantly downregulated volatiles are formed through lipid oxidation and amino acid degradation pathways, respectively, collectively shaping the more pronounced fatty and grassy aromas in the S3 strain. Correlation analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between Met-Asn and Hexanoic acid, butyl ester, suggesting it may represent a key regulatory pathway influencing green flavor formation. In summary, this study elucidates key metabolites and pathways governing flavor differences in high-quality broiler rooster breast meat, providing a scientific foundation for poultry breeding, optimization of farming practices, and flavor regulation in meat products.
