Distinct Metabolic Endotype Mirroring Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) Subphenotype and its Heterogeneous Biology.

Scientific Reports 2019 Februrary 15
Predisposing aetiologies in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), perpetuates to heterogeneous clinical course hampering therapeutic response. Therefore, physiological variables need to be identified by stratifying ARDS subphenotypes and endotype, to target ARDS heterogeneity. The present study is stimulated by the fact that the ARDS heterogeneity arises from diverse pathophysiological changes leading to distinct ARDS endotypes characterized by perturbed biological mechanism which can be exploited in terms of metabolic profile by metabolomics. Biological endotypes using (n = 464 patients and controls), mBALF and serum samples were identified by high - resolution NMR spectroscopy from two clinically diagnosed ARDS subtypes grouped under mild, moderate and severe ARDS as subphenotype1and pulmonary and extra - pulmonary ARDS as subphenotype2. The identified mBALF endotypes (isoleucine, leucine, valine, lysine/arginine, tyrosine, threonine) and serum endotypes (proline, glutamate, phenylalanine, valine) in both subphenotypes by statistical analysis were tested for their reproducibility and robustness. By combining metabolic endotypes with clinical based mortality score (APACHE and SOFA) added to their predictive performance as ARDS mortality predictors. Thus, a comprehensive set of mBALF endotypes representing compartmentalized lung milieu and serological endotypes representing systemic markers of ARDS subtypes were validated. The interlinked biological pathway of these disease specific endotype further elucidated their role as candidate biomarker in governing ARDS heterogeneous biology.
