| dc.description.abstract | Major depressive disorder (MDD) in children and adolescents is a recurrent and disabling condition globally but its
pathophysiology remains poorly elucidated and there are limited effective treatments available. We performed metabolic
profiling of plasma samples based on ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography equipped with quadrupole time-offlight
mass spectrometry to explore the potential biomarkers of depression in children and adolescents with MDD. We identified
several perturbed pathways, including fatty acid metabolism—particularly the polyunsaturated fatty acids metabolism, and
purine metabolism—that were associated with MDD in these young patients. In addition, inosine was shown as a potential
independent diagnostic biomarker for MDD, achieving an area under the ROC curve of 0.999 in discriminating drug-naive
MDD patients and 0.866 in discriminating drug-treated MDD from healthy controls. Moreover, we found evidence for
differences in the pathophysiology of MDD in children and adolescents to that of adult MDD, specifically with tryptophan
metabolism. Through metabolomic analysis, we have identified links between a framework of metabolic perturbations and
the pathophysiology and diagnostic biomarker of child and adolescent MDD. | en |
