Many women with breast cancer experience symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depression, collectively known as psychoneurologic (PN) symptoms, during and after chemotherapy treatment. Evidence that inflammatory dysfunction related to cancer and its treatments contributes to the development and persistence of PN symptoms through several interrelated pathways is accumulating. However, a major limiting factor in more precisely identifying the biological mechanisms underlying these symptoms is the lack of biological measures that represent a holistic spectrum of biological responses. Metabolomics allows for examination of multiple, co-occurring metabolic pathways and provides a systems-level perspective on biological mechanisms that may contribute to PN symptoms. Methods: In this pilot study, we performed serum metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry of global and targeted metabolomics from the tryptophan pathway from archived samples from 19 women with early-stage breast cancer. We used paired t tests to compare metabolite concentrations and Pearson’s correlation coefficients to examine concomitant changes in metabolite concentrations and PN symptoms before and after chemotherapy. Results: Levels of pain, fatigue, and depression increased after chemotherapy. Compared with pre-chemotherapy, global metabolites post-chemotherapy were characterized by higher concentrations of acetyl-l-alanine and indoxyl sulfate and lower levels of 5-oxo-l-proline. Targeted analysis indicated significantly higher kynurenine levels and kynurenine/tryptophan ratios post-chemotherapy. Symptoms of pain and fatigue had strong associations with multiple global and several targeted metabolites. Conclusion: Results demonstrated that metabolomics may be useful for elucidating biological mechanisms associated with the development and severity of PN symptoms, specifically pain and fatigue, in women with early-stage breast cancer.
