Cover Story: An orthotopic mouse model of pancreatic cancer was investigated to determine if urinary metabolic biomarkers could be used to detect early formation of pancreatic tumors. The model was established by injecting human MiaPaCa-2 cells into pancreata of immunodeficient mice, and tumors grew for eight weeks. Urine samples were collected prior to injection, at one-week post injection, and every two weeks afterwards for eight weeks. NMR-based metabolic profiling indicated that 31 metabolites changed significantly during tumor initiation and growth that were associated with increased activity of metabolic pathways involved in energy production and cell synthesis required to support tumor growth. The results indicated that NMR-based urinary metabolic profiling may be able to detect the earliest stages of pancreatic tumor initiation and growth. View this paper
