Integral-Omics: Serial Extraction and Profiling of Metabolome, Lipidome, Genome, Transcriptome, Whole Proteome and...

The integrative multiomics characterization of minute amounts of clinical tissue specimens has become increasingly important. Here, we present an approach called Integral-Omics, which enables sequential extraction of metabolites, lipids, genomic DNA, total RNA, proteins, and phosphopeptides from a single biopsy-level tissue specimen. We benchmarked this method with various samples, applied the workflow to perform multiomics profiling of tissues from six patients with colorectal cancer, and found that tumor tissues exhibited suppressed ferroptosis pathways at multiomics levels. Together, this study presents a methodology that enables sequential extraction and profiling of metabolomics, lipidomics, genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and phosphoproteomics using biopsy tissue specimens.
