Assessment of the potential diagnostic value of serum p53 antibody for cancer: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mutant p53 protein over-expression has been reported to induce serum antibodies against p53. We assessed the diagnostic precision of serum p53 (s-p53) antibodies for diagnosis of cancer patients and compared the positive rates of the s-p53 antibody in different types of cancers.

Methods

We systematically searched PubMed and Embase, through May 31, 2012. Studies were assessed for quality using QUADAS (quality assessment of studies of diagnostic accuracy). The positive likelihood ratio (PLR) and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) were pooled separately and compared with overall accuracy measures using diagnostic odds ratios (DORs) and Area under the curve(AUC). Meta regression and subgroup analyses were done, and heterogeneity and publication bias were assessed.

Results

Of 1089 studies initially identified, 100 eligible studies with 23 different types of tumor met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis (cases?=?15953, controls?=?8694). However, we could conduct independent meta analysis on only 13 of 36 types of tumors. Approximately 56% (56/100) of the included studies were of high quality (QUADAS score?8). The summary estimates for quantitative analysis of serum p53 antibody in the diagnosis of cancers were: PLR 5.75 (95% CI: 4.60-7.19), NLR 0.81 (95%CI: 0.79-0.83) and DOR 7.56 (95% CI: 6.02-9.50). However, for the 13 types of cancers on which meta-analysis was conducted, the ranges for PLR (2.33-11.05), NLR (0.74-0.97), DOR (2.86-13.80), AUC(0.29-0.81), and positive rate (4.47%-28.36%) indicated significant heterogeneity. We found that breast, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, hepatic, lymphoma, lung and ovarian cancer had relatively reasonable diagnostic accuracy. The remaining results of the five types of cancers suggested that s-p53 antibody had limited value.

Conclusions

The current evidence suggests that s-p53 antibody has potential diagnostic value for cancer, especially for breast, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, hepatic, lymphoma, lung and ovarian cancer. The results showed that s-p53 antibody had high correlation with cancers.

Project description:BackgroundMutant p53 protein overexpression has been reported to induce serum antibodies against p53. Various studies assessing the diagnostic value of serum p53 antibody in patients with esophageal cancer remain controversial. This study aims to comprehensively and quantitatively summarize the potential diagnostic value of serum p53 antibody in esophageal cancer.MethodsWe systematically searched PubMed and Embase until 31st May 2012, without language restriction. Studies were assessed for quality using QUADAS (quality assessment of studies of diagnostic accuracy). Positive likelihood ratio (PLR) and negative likelihood ratio (NLR) were pooled separately and compared with overall accuracy measures diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) and symmetric summary receiver operating characteristic (sROC). The PLR and NLR and their 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated using a fixed effects model according to the Mantel-Haensed method and random effects model based on the work of Der Simonian and laird, respectively.ResultsFifteen studies (cases?=?1079, controls?=?2260) met the inclusion criteria for the meta-analysis. Approximately 53.33% (8/15) of the included studies were of high quality (QUADAS score?8), which were retrospective case-control studies. The summary estimates for quantitative analysis of serum p53 antibody in the diagnosis of esophageal cancer were PLR 6.95 (95% CI: 4.77-9.51), NLR 0.75 (95%CI: 0.72-0.78) and DOR 9.65 (95%CI: 7.04-13.22). However, we found significant heterogeneity between NLRs.ConclusionsThe current evidence suggests serum p53 antibody has a potential diagnostic value for esophageal cancer. However, its discrimination power is not perfect because of low sensitivity.ImpactThese results suggest that s-p53-antibody may be useful for monitoring residual tumor cells and for aiding in the selection of candidates for less invasive treatment procedures because of the high specificity of s-p53-antibody. Further studies may need to identify patterns of multiple biomarkers to further increase the power of EC detection.

Project description:IntroductionCircular RNAs (CircRNAs), an emerging non-coding RNA, have been demonstrated to be involved in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and cancer progression, and could represent novel potential biomarkers for diagnosing oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, no meta-analysis has investigated the diagnostic role of circRNAs in OSCC. Hence, to investigate whether circRNAs could serve as specific biomarkers for OSCC, the present systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the diagnostic efficiency of circRNAs in patients with OSCC.Materials and methodsA thorough search of online databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library) was conducted to collect relevant studies up to March 30th, 2021. All eligible studies were case-control studies. The quality of each study was evaluated by the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies-2 (QUADAS-2) tool. STATA (version 15.1) and Review Manager (version 5.4) were employed to conduct the meta-analysis, and the PRISMA statement was adopted in this study.ResultsA total of 16 studies were included in the meta-analysis, with five studies on upregulated circRNAs, and 11 on downregulated circRNAs. The enrolled studies that met our eligibility criteria all derived from China. The pooled sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), positive likelihood ratio (PLR), negative likelihood ratio (NLR), and the area under receiver operating characteristics curve (AUC) with the 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were 0.74 (0.69-0.79), 0.79 (0.73-0.84), 10.74 (7.81-14.77), 3.50 (2.78-4.45), 0.33 (0.27-0.39) and 0.83 (0.79-0.86), respectively. The subgroup analysis demonstrated that serum, plasma, and saliva specimens had a better diagnostic performance than tissue samples, with a high value of sensitivity, specificity, DOR, and AUC values. The results also showed that the subgroups of upregulated circRNAs and a sample size of ≥100 manifested higher specificity, DOR, and AUC for cancer detection than downregulated circRNAs and a sample size of < 100.ConclusionsA strong association was demonstrated between the dysregulated expression of circRNAs and the diagnosis of OSCC. Hence, circRNAs have the potential to function as promising biomarkers and therapeutic targets for OSCC.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO, number CRD42021256857.
