Background: The differential diagnosis of partial precocious puberty (PPP) and central precocious puberty (CPP) is vital to the prompt intervention and administration, but their specific biomarkers are still unavailable. The potential harmful effects of environmental factors on children's growth and development attract great concern and require urgent investigation.
Objective: The metabolic differences and connection of PPP and CPP girls were investigated to elucidate their respective pathogenesis and screen the serum-specific biomarkers for early diagnosis. The relationship between serum perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), clinical indicators and specific biomarker was explored to reveal the environmental consequences on the occurrence of precocious puberty (PP).
Methods: A nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based comparative metabolomic analysis was performed on serum from 146 PP girls. The metabolic characteristics of PPP and CPP were derived from the uni- and multi-variate statistic and metabolic network analyses. LC-MS/MS was used to measure the serum PFCs of PPP and CPP, and correlation analysis was performed to deeply explore the relationships between PFCs, clinical indicators and specific biomarkers in PPP and CPP girls.
Results: Eight and eleven serum-specific potential biomarkers were screened for PPP and CPP girls, respectively, and their sensitivity and specificity were investigated by random forest-based ROC curve. The disturbed pyruvate metabolism and butyrate metabolism were shared by PPP and CPP. PFHpA and PFHA were statistically different between PPP and CPP girls. The correlations between PFCs, clinical indicators and the specific biomarkers revealed the different pathogenesis of CPP and PPP girls and their differential responses to environmental effects.
Conclusions: Formate, ethanol, and 3-hydroxybutyrate probably can be used as early diagnostic indicators for PP girls. The serum-specific biomarkers could facilitate the differential diagnosis of CPP and PPP girls. PFCs may be involved in the occurrence and development of PP mainly by disturbing the endocrine homeostasis of girls.
