Abstract
BACKGROUND Cancer is a significant public health problem, causing dozens of millions of deaths annually. New cancer screening programs are urgently needed for early cancer detection, as this approach can improve treatment outcomes and increase patient survival. The search for affordable, noninvasive, and highly accurate cancer detection methods revealed a valuable source of tumor-derived metabolites in the human metabolome through the exploration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in noninvasive biofluids. AIM OF REVIEW This review discusses volatilomics-based approaches for cancer detection using noninvasive biomatrices (breath, saliva, skin secretions, urine, feces, and earwax). We presented the historical background, the latest approaches, and the required stages for clinical validation of volatilomics-based methods, which are still lacking in terms of making noninvasive methods available and widespread to the population. Furthermore, insights into the usefulness and challenges of volatilomics in clinical implementation steps for each biofluid are highlighted. KEY SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS OF REVIEW We outline the methodologies for using noninvasive biomatrices with up-and-coming clinical applications in cancer diagnostics. Several challenges and advantages associated with the use of each biomatrix are discussed, aiming at encouraging the scientific community to strengthen efforts toward the necessary steps to speed up the clinical translation of volatile-based cancer detection methods, as well as discussing in favor of (i) hybrid applications (i.e., using more than one biomatrix) to describe metabolite modulations that can be "cancer volatile fingerprints" and (ii) in multi-omics approaches integrating genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics into the volatilomic data, which might be a breakthrough for diagnostic purposes, onco-pathway assessment, and biomarker validations.

Combination of real-time and hyphenated mass spectrometry for improved characterisation of exhaled breath biomarkers in clinical research. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:4929-4939. [PMID: 38980330 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05421-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 06/21/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/10/2024]
Abstract
Exhaled breath volatilomics is a powerful non-invasive tool for biomarker discovery in medical applications, but compound annotation is essential for pathophysiological insights and technology transfer. This study was aimed at investigating the interest of a hybrid approach combining real-time proton transfer reaction-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (PTR-TOF-MS) with comprehensive thermal desorption-two-dimensional gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TD-GCxGC-TOF-MS) to enhance the analysis and characterization of VOCs in clinical research, using COVID-19 as a use case. VOC biomarker candidates were selected from clinical research using PTR-TOF-MS fingerprinting in patients with COVID-19 and matched to the Human Breathomic Database. Corresponding analytical standards were analysed using both a liquid calibration unit coupled to PTR-TOF-MS and TD-GCxGC-TOF-MS, together with confirmation on new clinical samples with TD-GCxGC-TOF-MS. From 26 potential VOC biomarkers, 23 were successfully detected with PTR-TOF-MS. All VOCs were successfully detected using TD-GCxGC-TOF-MS, providing effective separation of highly chemically related compounds, including isomers, and enabling high-confidence annotation based on two-dimensional chromatographic separation and mass spectra. Four VOCs were identified with a level 1 annotation in the clinical samples. For future applications, the combination of real-time PTR-TOF-MS and comprehensive TD-GCxGC-TOF-MS, at least on a subset of samples from a whole study, would enhance the performance of VOC annotation, offering potential advancements in biomarker discovery for clinical research.

Abstract
Sprouting of stored oilseeds due to improper storage can lead to quality defects of cold-pressed oils obtained from them. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of seed sprouting on volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aroma-active compounds, and the content of nonvolatile metabolites in cold-pressed false flax oil obtained from sprouted seeds. In this study, 88 unique VOCs were detected in sprouted oils, whereas only 42 were found in the control oils. The control oils were characterized by a higher abundance of alcohols, while all other groups of compounds were associated with sprouted seeds. The formation of many VOCs was reflected in changes in the nonvolatile precursors. Fifteen aroma-active compounds were identified in sprouted oil, with five compounds playing a significant role (FD ≥ 128) in aroma formation. The presented approach allowed identification of differences caused by seed sprouting, resulting in oils with a much stronger aroma and a richer profile of VOCs due to intensive metabolic changes. The origin of many VOCs can be explained by alterations in the content of nonvolatile metabolites.

Abstract
The skin surface is an important sample source that the metabolomics community has only just begun to explore. Alterations in sebum, the lipid-rich mixture coating the skin surface, correlate with age, sex, ethnicity, diet, exercise, and disease state, making the skin surface an ideal sample source for future noninvasive biomarker exploration, disease diagnosis, and forensic investigation. The potential of sebum sampling has been realized primarily via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS), an ideal approach to assess the skin surface lipidome. However, a better understanding of sebum collection and subsequent ESI-MS analysis is required before skin surface sampling can be implemented in routine analyses. Challenges include ambiguity in definitive lipid identification, inherent biological variability in sebum production, and methodological, technical variability in analyses. To overcome these obstacles, avoid common pitfalls, and achieve reproducible, robust outcomes, every portion of the workflow-from sample collection to data analysis-should be carefully considered with the specific application in mind. This review details current practices in sebum sampling, sample preparation, ESI-MS data acquisition, and data analysis, and it provides important considerations in acquiring meaningful lipidomic datasets from the skin surface. Forensic researchers investigating sebum as a means for suspect elimination in lieu of adequate fingerprint ridge detail or database matches, as well as clinical researchers interested in noninvasive biomarker exploration, disease diagnosis, and treatment monitoring, can use this review as a guide for developing methods of best-practice.

Abstract
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a prevalent disease caused by microbial infection, resulting in significant morbidity and mortality within the intensive care unit (ICU). The rapid and accurate identification of pathogenic bacteria causing VAP can assist clinicians in formulating timely treatment plans. In this study, we attempted to differentiate bacterial species in VAP by utilizing the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released by pathogens. We cultured 6 common bacteria in VAP in vitro, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterobacter cloacae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Staphylococcus aureus, which covered most cases of VAP infection in clinic. After the VOCs released by bacteria were collected in sampling bags, they were quantitatively detected by a proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), and the characteristic ions were qualitatively analyzed through a fast gas chromatography-proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (FGC-PTR-MS). After conducting principal component analysis (PCA) and analysis of similarities (ANOSIM), we discovered that the VOCs released by 6 bacteria exhibited differentiation following 3 h of quantitative cultivation in vitro. Additionally, we further investigated the variations in the types and concentrations of bacterial VOCs. The results showed that by utilizing the differences in types of VOCs, 6 bacteria could be classified into 5 sets, except for A. baumannii and E. cloacae which were indistinguishable. Furthermore, we observed significant variations in the concentration ratio of acetaldehyde and methyl mercaptan released by A. baumannii and E. cloacae. In conclusion, the VOCs released by bacteria could effectively differentiate the 6 pathogens commonly associated with VAP, which was expected to assist doctors in formulating treatment plans in time and improve the survival rate of patients.

Abstract
Cannabis and associated substances are some of the most frequently abused drugs across the globe, mainly due to their anxiolytic and euphorigenic properties. Nowadays, the analysis of hair samples has been given high importance in forensic and analytical sciences and in clinical studies because they are associated with a low risk of infection, do not require complicated storage conditions, and offer a broad window of non-invasive detection. Analysis of hair samples is very easy compared to the analysis of blood, urine, and saliva samples. This review places particular emphasis on methodologies of analyzing hair samples containing cannabis, with a special focus on the preparation of samples for analysis, which involves screening and extraction techniques, followed by confirmatory assays. Through this manuscript, we have presented an overview of the available literature on the screening of cannabis using mass spectroscopy techniques. We have presented a detailed overview of the advantages and disadvantages of this technique, to establish it as a suitable method for the analysis of cannabis from hair samples.

Abstract
The presence of an elevated amount of methane (CH4) in exhaled breath can be used as a non-invasive tool to monitor certain health conditions. A compact, inexpensive and transportable CH4 sensor is thus very interesting for this purpose. In addition, if the sensor is also able to simultaneously measure carbon dioxide (CO2), one can extract the end-tidal concentration of exhaled CH4. Here, we report on such a sensor based on a commercial detection module using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy. It was found that the measured CH4/CO2 values exhibit a strong interference with water vapor. Therefore, correction functions were experimentally identified and validated for both CO2 and CH4. A custom-built breath sampler was developed and tested with the sensor for real-time measurements of CH4 and CO2 in exhaled breath. As a result, the breath sensor demonstrated the capability of accurately measuring the exhaled CH4 and CO2 profiles in real-time. We obtained minimum detection limits of ~80 ppbv for CH4 and ~700 ppmv for CO2 in 1.5 s measurement time.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is one of most common types of cancer diagnosed in the genitourinary tract. Typical tests are costly and characterized by low sensitivity, which contributes to a growing interest in volatile biomarkers. Head space solid phase microextraction (SPME) was applied for the extraction of volatile organic compounds from urine samples, and gas chromatography time of flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC TOF MS) was used for the separation and detection of urinary volatiles. A cohort of 40 adult patients with bladder cancer and 57 healthy persons was recruited. Different VOC profiles were obtained for urine samples taken from each group. Twelvecompounds were found only in the samples from theBC group.The proposed candidate biomarkers are butyrolactone; 2-methoxyphenol; 3-methoxy-5-methylphenol; 1-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohexa-1,3-dien-1-yl)-2-buten-1-one; nootkatone and 1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl)-2-buten-1-one.Since most of the studies published in the field are proving the potential of VOCs detected in urine samples for the screening and discrimination of patients with bladder cancer from healthy, but rarely presenting the identity of proposed biomarkers, our study represents a novel approach.
