Abstract:		"Gastrointestinal stromal tumours (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal neoplasms of the gastrointestinal tract and localize mainly in the stomach or small intestine. The metabolomic signatures of GISTs driven by different KIT gene mutations remain undiscovered and unexplored. The main aim of this pilot study was to determine and compare metabolomic profiles in GIST xenograft models with different genetic backgrounds. Metabolomic profiling using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry followed by univariate and multivariate statistical analyses was applied to select metabolites that differentiated the GIST models studied. The significant differences observed in the metabolites were mainly derived from glycolysis, the citric acid cycle and glutamine and lipid metabolism. The obtained results may suggest variable metabolomic signatures of tumours, possibly related to the different underlying, specific KIT gene mutations and with potential implications for the biological behaviour and natural course of this rare disease. This study constitutes a proof of concept in GISTs and reveals the potential of the metabolomic approach in orphan malignancies"
