Cancer poses a daunting challenge to researchers and clinicians alike. Early diagnosis, accurate prognosis, and prediction of therapeutic response remain elusive in most types of cancer. In addition, lacunae in our understanding of cancer biology continue to hinder advancement of therapeutic strategies. Metabolic reprogramming has been identified as integral to pathogenesis and progression of the disease. Consequently, analysis of biofluid metabolome has emerged as a promising approach to further our understanding of disease biology as well as to identify cancer biomarkers. However, unbiased identification of robust and meaningful differences in metabolic signatures remains a non-trivial task. This chapter describes a generalized strategy for global metabolic profiling of human biofluids using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) and mass spectrometry, which together offer a sensitive, high-throughput, and versatile platform. A step-by-step protocol for performing untargeted metabolic profiling of urine and serum (or plasma), using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) or reverse-phase (RP) chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) to multivariate data analysis and identification of metabolites of interest has been detailed.
