Identification of salivary metabolites for oral squamous cell carcinoma and oral epithelial dysplasia screening from persistent suspicious oral mucosal lesions

Abstract

Objective

To identify salivary metabolite biomarkers to differentiate patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma and oral epithelial dysplasia (OSCC/OED) from those with persistent suspicious oral mucosal lesions (PSOML).

Subjects and methods

Whole unstimulated saliva samples were collected from age-, sex-, and race-matched patients who had a lesion in the oral cavity and for whom open biopsies were performed. The patients included OSCC (n = 6), OED (n = 10), and PSOML (n = 32). Hydrophilic metabolites in saliva samples were comprehensively analyzed using capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry. To evaluate the discrimination ability of a combination of multiple markers, a multiple logistic regression (MLR) model was developed to differentiate OSCC/OED from PSOML.

Results

Six metabolites were significantly different in OSCC/OED compared with PSOML. From these six metabolites, ornithine, o-hydroxybenzoate, and ribose 5-phosphate (R5P) were used to develop the MLR model, which resulted in a high value for the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC 0.871, 95% confidential interval (CI) 0.760–0.982; p < 0.001) to discriminate OSCC/OED from PSOML.

Conclusions

This is the first study to identify salivary metabolites that discriminate OSCC/OED from PSOML rather than from healthy controls. The profiles of salivary metabolites were significantly different between OSCC/OED and PSOML. The ability to discriminate OSCC/OED from PSOML is important for dentists who are not oral surgery specialists. These salivary metabolites showed potential for non-invasive screening to discriminate OSCC/OED from PSOML.

Clinical relevance

Salivary metabolites in this study showed potential for non-invasive screening to discriminate OSCC/OED from PSOML.
