Methylation Biomarker Panel Performance in EsophaCap Cytology Samples for Diagnosing Barrett's Esophagus: A Prospective Validation Study.


ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Barrett's esophagus is the only known precursor of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Although endoscopy and biopsy are standard methods for Barrett's esophagus diagnosis, their high cost and risk limit their use as a screening modality. Here, we sought to develop a Barrett's esophagus detection method based on methylation status in cytology samples captured by EsophaCap using a streamlined sensitive technique, methylation on beads (MOB). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN:We conducted a prospective cohort study on 80 patients (52 in the training set; 28 in the test set). We used MOB to extract and bisulfite-convert DNA, followed by quantitative methylation-specific PCR to assess methylation levels of 8 previously selected candidate markers. Lasso regression was applied to establish a prediction model in the training set, which was then tested on the independent test set. RESULTS:In the training set, five of eight candidate methylation biomarkers (p16, HPP1, NELL1, TAC1, and AKAP12) were significantly higher in Barrett's esophagus patients than in controls. We built a four-biomarker-plus-age lasso regression model for Barrett's esophagus diagnosis. The AUC was 0.894, with sensitivity 94.4% [95% confidence interval (CI), 71%-99%] and specificity 62.2% (95% CI, 44.6%-77.3%) in the training set. This model also performed with high accuracy for Barrett's esophagus diagnosis in an independent test set: AUC = 0.929 (P < 0.001; 95% CI, 0.810%-1%), with sensitivity=78.6% (95% CI, 48.8%-94.3%) and specificity = 92.8% (95% CI, 64.1%-99.6%). CONCLUSIONS:EsophaCap, in combination with an epigenetic biomarker panel and the MOB method, is a promising, well-tolerated, low-cost esophageal sampling strategy for Barrett's esophagus diagnosis. This approach merits further prospective studies in larger populations.
