Serum small extracellular vesicle-derived LINC00853 as a novel diagnostic marker for early hepatocellular carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify novel long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) biomarkers for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using publicly available tissue genomic datasets and validate their diagnostic utility for early-stage HCC. Differentially expressed lncRNAs between 371 HCC and 50 nontumor tissues were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas liver hepatocellular carcinoma (TCGA_LIHC) project. Subsequently, the expression of the serum- and extracellular vesicle (EV)-derived lncRNA was assessed in 10 patients with HCC and 10 healthy controls using RT-qPCR. The candidate lncRNAs were validated in 90 HCC and 92 non-HCC (29 healthy control, 28 chronic hepatitis, 35 liver cirrhosis) patients. The sensitivity, specificity, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) were calculated for the candidate lncRNAs and the current HCC biomarker, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). SFTA1P, HOTTIP, HAGLROS, LINC01419, HAGLR, CRNDE, and LINC00853 were markedly upregulated in HCC in TCGA_LIHC dataset. Among them, LINC00853 has not been reported in relation to HCC before. In patients with HCC, only expression of small EV-derived LINC00853 (EV-LINC00853) was increased. EV-LINC00853 showed excellent discriminatory ability in the diagnosis of all-stage HCC (AUC = 0.934, 95% confidence interval = 0.887-0.966). Moreover, using a 14-fold increase and 20 ng·mL-1 as cutoffs for EV-LINC00853 expression and AFP level, respectively, EV-LINC00853 was found to have a sensitivity of 93.75% and specificity of 89.77%, while AFP showed only 9.38% sensitivity and 72.73% specificity for the diagnosis of early-stage HCC (mUICC stage I). EV-LINC00853 had a positivity of 97% and 67% in AFP-negative and AFP-positive early HCC, respectively. Serum EV-derived LINC00853 may be a novel potential diagnostic biomarker for early HCC, especially for AFP-negative HCC.

Project description:In cancer management, early and accurate diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is important for enhancing survival rate of patients. Currently, serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is the only one biomarker for detection of HCC. However, serum AFP is not satisfactory for diagnosis of HCC due to its low accuracy (about 60-70%). In this study, we collected 109 serum samples (discovery set) from healthy control (HC) and patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis (LC) and HCC, and analyzed them with custom lncRNA microarray. Profiling analysis shows 181 differentially expressed lncRNAs between HCs and patients with CHB, LC and HCC. Then a 48-lncRNA diagnostic signature was identified with 100% predictive accuracy for all subjects in the discovery set. This diagnostic signature was verified with a cross-validation analysis in the discovery set. To further corroborate the signature, we gathered another 66 serum samples (validation set) and also analyzed them with microarray. The result indicates that the same signature has similar diagnostic accuracy for HC (100%), CHB (73%), LC (88%) and HCC (95%), implying a reproducible diagnostic biomarker for HCC. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis exhibits that this signature has significantly higher diagnostic accuracy for HCC and non-cancerous subjects (area under curve [AUC]: 0.994) than AFP (AUC: 0.773) in the discovery set and this was also verified in the validation set (0.964 vs 0.792). More importantly, the signature detected small HCC (<3cm) with 100% (13/13) accuracy while AFP with only 61.5% (8/13). Altogether, this study demonstrates that the serum 48-lncRNA signature is not only a powerful and sensitive biomarker for diagnosis of HCC but also a potential biomarker for LC. ***************************************************************** Submitter declares these data are subject to patent number ZL 2016 1 0397094. *****************************************************************
