Serum immunoreactivity of cancer/testis antigen OY-TES-1 and its tissues expression in glioma.

ABSTRACT: OY-TES-1 is a member of the cancer/testis antigen family that is expressed in healthy testis tissue and certain types of cancerous tissue. The present study aimed to analyze the expression pattern of OY-TES-1 and serum anti-OY-TES-1 antibody concentration in patients with glioma. OY-TES-1 mRNA was detected in 28/36 (78%) of glioma cases using conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis. RT-quantitative-PCR revealed that OY-TES-1 was expressed at a higher level in glioma tissues compared with normal adult tissues (with the exception of testis tissue). Anti-OY-TES-1 antibodies were present in the serum of 5/36 (14%) of patients with glioma, but absent in all the serum samples from 107 healthy donors. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated that OY-TES-1 protein was expressed in all glioma tissues from patients with anti-OY-TES-1 antibody seropositivity. These results suggest that OY-TES-1 is a novel candidate for glioma immunotherapy.

Project description:ObjectiveAs a cancer-testis antigen (CTA), human lactate dehydrogenase C4 (LDH-C4) enzyme protein encoded by the LDHC gene has been reported to be involved in the occurrence and development of various malignancies, while its expression and clinical significance in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the expression of LDH-C4 in LUAD and its diagnostic and prognostic value.MethodsThe mRNA and protein levels of LDH-C4 in LUAD and adjacent normal tissues were analyzed based on the UALCAN database, and the prognostic significance was assessed using the LOGpc database. The LDHC mRNA level in serum and serum secretion of LUAD patients was determined by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Based on the high-throughput LUAD tissue chip combined with immunohistochemistry (IHC), the protein level of LDH-C4 in LUAD tissues was measured, and its correlation with clinicopathological features and prognosis was analyzed.ResultsLDHC expression was upregulated in LUAD, which was related to the clinical stage and poor prognosis of patients. The positive rates of LDHC mRNA expression in serum and exosome of LUAD patients were 78.3% and 66.7%, respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) of serum and exosomal LDHC in the diagnosis of LUAD was 0.8121 and 0.8925, respectively. The expression of LDHC in serum and serum-derived exosomes from LUAD patients was negatively correlated with medical treatment and positively correlated with the recurrence of LUAD. The positive expression rate of LDH-C4 in LUAD tissues was 96.7% (89/92), which was significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues 22.6% (19/84) (p < 0.001). The median overall survival (OS) time of patients with a high expression of LDH-C4 was significantly shorter than that of patients with low expression (34 months versus 62 months) (p = 0.016). Further relative risk analysis exhibited that the expression of LDH-C4 was an independent prognostic factor of OS in patients with LUAD.ConclusionsLDHC/LDH-C4 expression was upregulated in LUAD, and LDH-C4 could be used as a molecular indicator of the prognosis of LUAD. Serum and serum-derived exosomes of LDHC can be used as an important biomarker for the diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, and recurrence monitoring of LUAD.

Project description:BackgroundThe Cancer Testis Antigens (CTAs) are a group of genes that are highly expressed in the normal testis and several types of cancer. Due to their restricted expression in normal adult tissues, CTAs have been attractive targets for immunotherapy and biomarker development. In this work, we discovered that Centrin 1 (CETN1) which is found in the centrosome of all eukaryotes, may be a member of this group and is highly expressed in prostate and pancreatic cancer. Three members of the centrin family of calcium binding proteins (CETN) are localized to the centrosome in all eukaryotes with CDC31 being the sole yeast homolog. CETN1 is a retrogene that probably arose from a retrotransposition of CETN2, an X-linked gene. A previous mouse study shows that CETN1 is expressed solely in the testis, while CETN2 is expressed in all organs.ResultsIn this work, we show that CETN1 is a new member of the growing group of CTAs. Through the mining of publicly available microarray data, we discovered that human CETN1 expression but not CETN2 or CETN3 is restricted to the testis. In fact, CETN1 is actually down-regulated in testicular malignancies compared to normal testis. Using q-PCR, CETN1 expression is shown to be highly up-regulated in cancer of the prostate and in pancreatic xenografts. Unexpectedly however, CETN1 expression was virtually absent in various cell lines until they were treated with the DNA demethylation agent 5'AZA-2'Deoxycytidine (AZA) but showed no increased expression upon incubation with Histone deacetylase inhibitor Trichostatin-A (TSA) alone. Additionally, like most CTAs, CETN1 appears to be an intrinsically disordered protein which implies that it may occupy a hub position in key protein interaction networks in cancer. Neither CETN1 nor CETN2 could compensate for loss of CDC31 expression in yeast which is analogous to published data for CETN3.ConclusionsThis work suggests that CETN1 is a novel CTA with expression in cancer of the prostate and pancreas. In cell lines, the expression is probably regulated by promoter methylation, while the method of regulation in normal adult tissues remains unknown.
