Meta-analysis of the diagnostic value of Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-sialylated mucin1 and the prognostic role of mucin1 in human cholangiocarcinoma.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Serum carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is a widely used tumour marker for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). However, it is not a necessarily good CCA marker in terms of diagnostic accuracy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of Wisteria floribundaagglutinin-sialylated Mucin1 (WFA-MUC1) and the prognostic role of Mucin1 (MUC1) in human CCA. DESIGN:Meta-analysis. DATA SOURCES:Studies published in PubMed, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure up to 11 October 2017. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA:We included reports assessing the diagnostic capacity of WFA-MUC1 and the prognostic role of MUC1 in CCA. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of WFA-MUC1 and/or CA19-9 was described, and the HRs including 95% CI and the corresponding p value for MUC1 can be extracted. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS:Two independent researchers extracted data and assessed risk of bias. The diagnostic sensitivity and specificity data of WFA-MUC1 were extracted and analysed as bivariate data. Pooled HRs and its 95%?CI for MUC1 were calculated with a random-effects meta-analysis model on overall survival of resectable CCA. RESULTS:Sixteen reports were included in this study. The pooled sensitivity and specificity of WFA-MUC1 were 0.76 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.81) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.59 to 0.83) in serum, 0.85 (95% CI 0.81 to 0.89) and 0.72 (95% CI 0.64 to 0.80) in bile and 0.72 (95% CI 0.50 to 0.87) and 0.85 (95% CI 0.70 to 0.93) in tissue, respectively. The summary ROC (SROC) were 0.77 (95% CI 0.73 to 0.81) in serum, 0.88 (95% CI 0.85 to 0.90) in bile and 0.86 (95% CI 0.83 to 0.89) in tissue, respectively. Furthermore, the pooled sensitivity and specificity and the SROC of CA19-9 in serum were 0.67 (95% CI 0.61 to 0.72), 0.86 (95% CI 0.75 to 0.93) and 0.75 (95% CI 0.71 to 0.79), respectively. The pooled HRs for MUC1 was 2.20 (95% CI 1.57 to 3.01) in CCA and 4.17 (95% CI 1.71 to 10.17) in mass-forming intrahepatic CCA. CONCLUSIONS:Compared with CA19-9, WFA-MUC1 was shown to possess stronger diagnostic capability. MUC1 could serve as a prognosis factor for poor outcomes of CCA, particularly, mass-forming intrahepatic CCA.

Project description:Glycosylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications of cell surface proteins involved in the proliferation, metastasis and treatment resistance of cancer cells. However, little is known about the role of glycosylation as the mechanism of breast cancer cell resistance to endocrine therapy. Herein, we aimed to identify the glycan profiles of tamoxifen-resistant human breast cancer cells, and their potential as predictive biomarkers for endocrine therapy. We established tamoxifen-resistant cells from estrogen receptor-positive human breast cancer cell lines, and their membrane-associated proteins were subjected to lectin microarray analysis. To confirm differential lectin binding to cellular glycoproteins, we performed lectin blotting analyses after electrophoretic separation of the glycoproteins. Mass spectrometry of the tryptic peptides of the lectin-bound glycoproteins was further conducted to identify glycoproteins binding to the above lectins. Finally, expression of the glycans that were recognized by a lectin was investigated using clinical samples from patients who received tamoxifen treatment after curative surgery. Lectin microarray analysis revealed that the membrane fractions of tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer cells showed increased binding to Wisteria floribunda agglutinin (WFA) compared to tamoxifen-sensitive cells. Glycoproteins seemed to be responsible for the differential WFA binding and the results of mass spectrometry revealed several membrane glycoproteins, such as CD166 and integrin beta-1, as candidates contributing to increased WFA binding. In clinical samples, strong WFA staining was more frequently observed in patients who had developed distant metastasis during tamoxifen treatment compared with non-relapsed patients. Therefore, glycans recognized by WFA are potentially useful as predictive markers to identify the tamoxifen-resistant and relapse-prone subset of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer patients.

Project description:ObjectiveThe race for finding effective treatments for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been slowed down by the high screen-failure rate for including patients in trials due to the lack of a noninvasive biomarker that can identify patients with significant disease. Recently, Wisteria floribunda agglutinin-positive Mac-2-binding protein (WFA+ -M2BP) has shown promise in predicting liver fibrosis. The aims of this study were to evaluate the utility of WFA+ -M2BP as a biomarker to sub-classify patients with NAFLD according to their disease severity and to assess its correlation with histologic features of NAFLD.MethodsPatients undergoing biopsy for clinical suspicion of NAFLD and healthy controls were included. Patients with NAFLD were classified into: NAFL, early NASH (F0-F1), fibrotic NASH (F2-F3), and NASH cirrhosis (F4). Levels of WFA+ -M2BP in sera was measured by a HISCL™ M2BPGi™ assay kit using an automated immunoanalyzer (HISCL™-800; Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). Analysis of covariance was used to assess difference in WFA+ -M2BP between the groups and Spearman's correlation coefficients were used to assess correlation with histological features.ResultsOur cohort consisted of 20 healthy controls and 198 patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD divided as follows: 52 with NAFL, 62 with early NASH, 52 with fibrotic NASH, and 32 with NASH cirrhosis. WFA+ -M2BP level was found to be significantly increased in the fibrotic NASH and NASH cirrhosis groups compared to healthy controls and those with early NAFLD after adjusting for age, gender and BMI. Furthermore, patients with NASH cirrhosis had significantly higher WFA+ -M2BP levels (2.4[1.5, 4.2] C.O.I (Cut-off Index)) than those with fibrotic NASH (1.2[0.79, 1.9]), p < 0.001. WFA+ -M2BP level had moderate correlation with inflammation, ballooning and NAFLD activity score and strong correlation with fibrosis stage. Additionally, ROC curve analysis demonstrated that WFA+ -M2BP accurately differentiated F2-4 from F0-F1.ConclusionIn a large cohort of patients with the full spectrum of NAFLD, WFA+ -M2BP levels predicted the presence of advanced disease and correlated strongly with fibrosis stage.
