Abstract
- Background: Previous studies provide evidence that in vivo metabolites are associated with breast cancer (BC). However, the causal relationship between blood metabolites and BC remains unclear.<br />Method: Comprehensive two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis was conducted to determine the causal association between 1400 publicly available genetic data on metabolic factors and human epidermal growth factor receptor positive (HER+) BC or HER- BC in this study.<br />Result: Epiandrosterone sulfate levels (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.02 ~ 1.10, p = 0.0013), 5alpha-androstan-3beta,17beta-diol monosulfate (2) levels (OR = 1.07, 95% CI = 1.03 ~ 1.12, p = 0.0012), glycohyocholate levels (OR = 0.85, 95% CI = 0.77 ~ 0.93, p = 0.0007) and etiocholanolone glucuronide levels (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.05 ~ 1.20, p = 0.0013) were causally correlated with HER+ BC. 5 metabolites were causally correlated with HER- BC: Vanillic acid glycine levels (OR = 1.14, 95% CI = 1.06 ~ 1.22, p = 0.0003), Thyroxine levels (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.11 ~ 1.44, p = 0.0004), 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-GPI (16:0/18:2) levels (OR = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.79 ~ 0.94, p = 0.0010), N-acetylphenylalanine levels (OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.05 ~ 1.19, p = 0.0007) and Glucose-to-mannose ratio (OR = 1.15, 95% CI = 1.06 ~ 1.24, p = 0.0008). Two common causally related metabolites were identified: Gamma-glutamyl glutamate and X-12849 levels.<br />Conclusions: Our study has respectively demonstrated the connection between blood metabolites and HER+ or HER- BC by genetic means, thereby offering opportunities for therapeutic targets.
