Diagnostic and Prognostic Value of Serum Interleukin-6 in Colorectal Cancer.

ABSTRACT: The application of serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the diagnosis and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC) has been evaluated in many studies, whereas the results were contradictive.The aim of this study was to systematically evaluate this issue.An original study was conducted to explore the diagnostic value of serum IL-6 in CRC. Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane library databases were searched for eligible studies.For diagnostic meta-analysis, aggregate data (AD) and individual participant data (IPD) meta-analyses were both adopted. The sensitivity and specificity were pooled and a summary receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed. For prognostic meta-analysis, study-specific hazard ratios (HRs) of IL-6 for survival were summarized. Secondary analysis of survival data was performed to synthesize the Kaplan-Meier curves.Total 17 studies (including our study) were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled sensitivity, specificity, and area under curve (AUC) of serum IL-6 were 0.72 (95% CI: 0.46-0.88), 0.74 (95% CI: 0.56-0.86), and 0.79 (95% CI: 0.75-0.82) in CRC diagnosis, respectively. Further, IPD meta-analysis strengthened the diagnostic value of serum IL-6 (the AUC, sensitivity, and specificity were 0.794, 0.606, and 0.839, respectively). For prognostic analysis, the high serum level of IL-6 was inversely associated with overall survival (OS) (pooled HR?=?1.76, 95% CI: 1.42-2.19, P?

Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks as the second leading cause of cancer-related mortality globally and is the third most prevalent cancer. The effective treatment of CRC is challenged by tumor drug resistance, underscoring the urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies. It is well recognized that epigenetic modifications, particularly DNA methylation, significantly contribute to the initiation and advancement of CRC. Tumors frequently exhibit hypermethylation of specific gene promoters alongside a general hypomethylation of genomic DNA. In normal tissues, gene promoters, particularly those of tumor suppressor genes, are typically unmethylated, whereas they are often hypermethylated in cancerous tissues. Previous studies have identified the methylation status of the CpG island within the SLC30A10 gene as a reliable biomarker for CRC. Notably, a hypermethylated phenotype is inversely correlated with SLC30A10 expression. However, the precise functional implications of SLC30A10 suppression in the context of CRC progression remain to be elucidated.). The investigation of molecular pathways involved in metal metabolism in CRC has not been conducted previously at the transcriptomic level. Furthermore, the relationship between the mutational characteristics of tumors—such as individual mutations, mutational burden, and microsatellite instability—and the activity of genes related to metal metabolic pathways has not been explored. This project aims to be the first to examine the antitumor potential of modulating the transport systems for manganese and zinc ions in CRC. The molecular function of SLC30A10 is to export zinc (Zn) and manganese (Mn) ions from the cell. Additionally, SLC30A10 plays a crucial role in mitigating Mn-induced cytotoxicity and facilitates Zn transport to early endosomes while promoting endosomal recirculation to avert Zn toxicity. Our findings indicate that overexpression of SLC30A10 is correlated with the knockout of its functional antagonist, SLC39A14 in the HuTu80 and HCT-15 cell lines.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Colorectal cancer is one of the most important malignant cancer in the world with high incidence and mortality. Some studies have found that the expression of low serum L1 cell adhesion molecule is associated with poor prognosis in some malignancies. It is suggested that L1 cell adhesion molecule is a candidate serum marker for certain tumors. However, the relationship between serum L1 cell adhesion molecule and colorectal cancer, especially about the diagnostic value, is rarely reported. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic potential of serum L1 cell adhesion molecule in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS:Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was carried out to detect L1 cell adhesion molecule level in sera of 229 patients with colorectal cancer and 145 normal controls. Receiver operating characteristic curves were employed to calculate the accuracy of diagnosis. RESULTS:The levels of serum L1 cell adhesion molecule in the colorectal cancer group were significantly lower than that in normal controls (P < .05). In the normal group, the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (area under the curve) of all colorectal cancer was 0.781 (95% confidence interval: 0.734-0.828) and early-stage colorectal cancer was 0.764 (95% confidence interval: 0.705-0.823). With optimized cutoff of 17.760 ng/mL, L1 cell adhesion molecule showed certain diagnostic value with specificity of 90.3% and sensitivities of 43.2% and 36.2% in colorectal cancer and early-stage colorectal cancer, respectively. Clinical data analysis showed that the levels of L1 cell adhesion molecule were significantly correlated with gender (P < .05) and early and late stages (P < .05). Furthermore, when compared with carcinoembryonic antigen, serum L1 cell adhesion molecule had significantly improved diagnostic accuracy for both colorectal cancer and early-stage colorectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS:Our study demonstrated that serum L1 cell adhesion molecule might be served as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
