Identification of a serum circulating lncRNA panel for the diagnosis and recurrence prediction of bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Accumulating evidence indicates that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important roles in tumorigenesis and progression. We aimed to identify a panel of lncRNAs for the diagnosis and recurrence prediction in bladder cancer (BC). The expression of 13 candidate lncRNAs was investigated in 80 BC and matched adjacent normal tissues via quantitative real-time PCR. The differentially expressed lncRNAs were then analyzed in 240 serum samples (training set) and three lncRNAs (MEG3, SNHG16 and MALAT1) showed differential expression. A logistic regression model was constructed using the training set and validated in an independent cohort of 200 serum samples (validation set). The AUC of the three-lncRNA panel was 0.865 for the training and 0.828 for the validation set. The diagnostic performance of the lncRNA panel for Ta, T1, and T2-T4 were 0.778, 0.805, and 0.880, which were significantly higher than those of urine cytology (0.548, 0.604, and 0.682, respectively). Moreover, we determined that low expression of MEG3 was associated with poor recurrence-free survival by Kaplan-Meier analysis (p = 0.028), univariate Cox analysis (p = 0.033) and multivariate Cox analysis (p = 0.046). In conclusion, our results identified a three-lncRNA panel for BC diagnosis and a recurrence-independent prognostic factor, MEG3.

Project description:BackgroundBladder cancer (BC) is the tenth most common cancer in the world. Serum microRNA (miRNA) profiles previously have been reported as non-invasive biomarkers in cancer screening. The non-invasive and reliable diagnostic biomarkers are urgently needed for detecting BC, while cystoscopy is invasive. Our study aimed to identify candidate miRNAs in serum as potential diagnostic biomarkers for BC detection.MethodsThis study was including the screening stage, training stage, and validation stage with 137 BC patients and 127 healthy controls (HCs). We identified the expression of 28 serum miRNAs from 5 BC pools and 3 HC pools in the initial screening stage. The other 112 BC patients and 112 HCs were randomly divided into training stage with 30 BC patients and 30 HCs and validation stages with 82 BC patients and 82 HCs. These HCs matched BC patients based on age and gender with P value >0.05. Identified dysregulated miRNAs were further confirmed in the training stage, and validation stages by quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). The diagnostic value of miRNAs was assessed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the ROC curve (AUC). Target genes of 3 candidate miRNAs were predicted by bioinformatic analysis.ResultsFive miRNAs (miR-106a-5p, miR-145-5p, miR-132-3p, miR-7-5p and miR-148b-3p) in serum were obviously dysregulated in BC patients compared to HCs. The ability to diagnose BC of 3 candidate miRNAs was estimated by AUC, with miR-132-3p (AUC =0.781; sensitivity =68.29%, specificity =81.71%), miR-7-5p (AUC =0.778; sensitivity =59.76%, specificity =84.15%) and miR-148b-3p (AUC =0.837; sensitivity =81.71%, specificity =71.95%). Combined application of these candidate miRNAs with parallel test could improve the diagnostic value (AUC =0.922; sensitivity =90.24%, specificity =81.71%). BNC2, GAS7, and NTRK2, considered as target genes of the three-miRNA panel, may play an important role in the process of BC development.ConclusionsA three-miRNA panel in serum was identified for BC diagnosis in our study, which HCs were used for differential diagnosis. The three-miRNA panel (miR-132-3p, miR-7-5p, and miR-148b-3p) might be performed as a non-invasive and convenient diagnostic tool for BC screening and diagnosis.

Project description:Recurrence of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (rFSGS) after kidney transplantation is a cause of early and accelerated graft loss. Immuneadsorption can alleviate renal dysfunction and suggests that circulating antibodies (Ab) are likely implicated in disease pathogenesis. To evaluate pathogenic Ab in rFSGS, we processed 141 unique serum samples from patients with and without primary rFSGS (n=64) and 34 non-FSGS control, transplanted at five (US and EU) hospitals. 9000 antigens were screened in pre-transplant sera by protein arrays and 10 Ab targeting glomerular antigens were selected for ELISA validation. A panel of 7 Ab (CD40, PTPRO, CGB-5, FAS, P2RY11, SNRPB2 and APOL2) could predict post-transplant FSGS recurrence with 92% accuracy. Pre-transplant elevation of anti-CD40 Ab levels alone had a substantial impact (78% accuracy) on the identification of rFSGS risk after transplantation. Epitope mapping of CD40 with customized peptide arrays and rFSGS sera demonstrated altered immunogenicity of the extracellular CD40 domain in rFSGS. Immunohistochemistry of CD40 demonstrated a differential expression of these antigens in FSGS compared to non-FSGS. Anti-CD40 Ab purified from rFSGS patients were uniquely pathogenic in human podocyte cultures; injection of these Ab resulted in heightened proteinuria, independently and in combination with suPAR in a rodent model, abrogated by injection of monoclonal Ab to CD40. In conclusion, a panel of 7 Ab can identify primary FSGS patients at high risk of recurrence prior to transplantation, allowing for customized therapies and improved patient selection for transplant. Intra-renal CD40 is an important axis of disease pathogenesis, and human trials of anti-CD40 therapies are warranted to evaluate their efficacy in preventing rFSGS and improving graft survival. The purpose of the study was to identify potential auto-Abs associated with rFSGS. We used a discovery set of pre-transplant sera from 20 unique patients with biopsy confirmed diagnosis of primary FSGS as their cause of ESRD, of which 10 had progressed to rFSGS within the first post-transplant year and 10 did not have recurrence of proteinuria or histological disease after transplantation (nrFSGS).
