Resum

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease with heterogeneous clinical progression, reflecting distinct underlying pathological mechanisms. Early and accurate diagnosis and prognosis require reliable biomarkers to improve clinical management and therapeutic stratification. The present study explores the potential of platelet global metabolomics and fatty acid (FA) profiling as potential sources of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for ALS. We analysed platelets from 15 recently diagnosed ALS patients and 21 healthy controls (CTLs) using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for metabolomics and gas chromatography-flame ionization detection (GC-FID) for FA profiling. ALS patients were classified as fast or slow progressors based on the median ALS Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R) slope. While global metabolomic and FA profiles have shown limited potential for distinguishing ALS from CTL, preliminary molecular annotation based on mass and retention times disclosed specific metabolites with potential diagnostic value. Importantly, both global metabolomic and FA analyses demonstrated a marked capacity to differentiate fast progressors from slow progressors (receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of approximately 1), revealing distinct metabolic signatures associated with disease progression. Our findings demonstrate that platelet global metabolomics and FA profiling hold promise as prognostic biomarkers in ALS.
