Abstract
Background
Overlapping clinical manifestations of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and IBS-like symptoms in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD-IBS) present challenges in diagnosis and management. Both conditions are associated with alterations in metabolites, but few studies have described the lipid profiles. Our aim was to pinpoint specific lipids that contribute to the pathogenesis of IBS and IBD-IBS by analyzing multiple biologic samples.
Methods
Diarrhea-predominant IBS (IBS-D) patients (n = 39), ulcerative colitis in remission with IBS-like symptoms patients (UCR-IBS) (n = 21), and healthy volunteers (n = 35) were recruited. IBS-D patients meet the Rome IV diagnostic criteria, and UCR-IBS patients matched mayo scores ≤ two points and Rome IV diagnostic criteria. Serum, feces, and mucosa were collected for further analysis. Lipid extraction was carried out by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS).
Results
Lipidomics of mucosa and serum samples significantly differed among the three groups. Feces showed the most altered lipid species, and the enrichment analysis of 347 differentially abundant metabolites via KEGG pathway analysis revealed that alpha-linolenic acid metabolism was significantly altered in the two groups (P < 0.01). The ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid were imbalance in serum samples.
Conclusions
This study revealed a comprehensive lipid composition pattern between IBS-D patients and UCR-IBS patients. We found several distinctive lipids involved in alpha-linolenic acid metabolism, reflecting an imbalance in the omega-6/omega-3 fatty acid ratio. Compared to mucosa and serum samples, fecal samples might have more advantages in lipidomics studies due to the convenience of sample collection and effectiveness in reflecting metabolic information.
