Biomarker-based early detection of epithelial ovarian cancer based on a five-protein signature in patient's plasma - a prospective trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trial on five plasma biomarkers (CA125, HE4, OPN, leptin, prolactin) and their possible role in differentiating benign from malignant ovarian tumors.

Methods

In this unicentric prospective trial preoperative blood samples of 43 women with ovarian masses determined for ovarian surgery were analyzed. 25 patients had pathologically confirmed benign, 18 malignant ovarian tumors. Blood plasma was analyzed for CA125, HE4, OPN, leptin, prolactin and MIF by multiplex immunoassay analysis. Each single protein and a logistical regression model including all the listed proteins were tested as preoperative predictive marker for suspect ovarian masses.

Results

Plasma CA125 was confirmed as a highly accurate tumor marker in ovarian cancer. HE4, OPN, leptin and prolactin plasma levels differed significantly between benign and malignant ovarian masses. With a logistical regression model a formula including CA125, HE4, OPN, leptin and prolactin was developed to predict malignant ovarian tumors. With a discriminatory AUC of 0.96 it showed to be a highly sensitive and specific diagnostic test for a malignant ovarian tumor.

Conclusions

The calculated formula with the combination of CA125, HE4, OPN, leptin and prolactin plasma levels surpasses each single marker in its diagnostic value to discriminate between benign and malignant ovarian tumors. The formula, applied to our patient population was highly accurate but should be validated in a larger cohort.

miRNA-200a/c as potential biomarker in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC): evidence based on miRNA meta-signature and clinical investigations.

Project description:Extensive effort has been put on miRNA expression signatures in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Unfortunately, consistent conclusion rarely yielded from diverse studies, mainly due to the high inter-lab variability and small sample sizes. To overcome above limitations, an integrated analysis of miRNA expression signature was performed by employing Robust Rank Aggregation (RRA) method. Diagnostic analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival curves and pathway enrichment analysis were used to investigate the clinical values and biological functions of meta-signature miRNAs. A total of 519 EOC and 248 noncancerous samples were included. Seven mostly dysregulated miRNAs were identified by RRA method and two miRNAs (miR-200a-3p and miR-200c-3p) remained statistically significant after Bonferroni-correction. Diagnostic meta-analysis showed reliable diagnostic capacity of miR-200a-3p (with a pooled sensitivity of 0.84 and specificity of 0.83) and miR-200c-3p (with a pooled sensitivity of 0.75 and specificity of 0.66) for EOC. Pathway enrichment analysis and expression correlation analysis suggested miR-200a/c might contribute EOC progression by affecting cellular adhesion process. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis based on two independent cohorts revealed a strong association between miR-200a/c and overall survival in EOC patients. miR-200a/c was identified as the mostly dysregulated miRNAs in EOC and might be novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for patients with EOC.

High throughput proteomics identifies a high-accuracy 11 plasma protein biomarker signature for ovarian cancer.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is usually detected at a late stage and the overall 5-year survival is only 30-40%. Additional means for early detection and improved diagnosis are acutely needed. To search for novel biomarkers, we compared circulating plasma levels of 593 proteins in three cohorts of patients with ovarian cancer and benign tumors, using the proximity extension assay (PEA). A combinatorial strategy was developed for identification of different multivariate biomarker signatures. A final model consisting of 11 biomarkers plus age was developed into a multiplex PEA test reporting in absolute concentrations. The final model was evaluated in a fourth independent cohort and has an AUC = 0.94, PPV = 0.92, sensitivity = 0.85 and specificity = 0.93 for detection of ovarian cancer stages I-IV. The novel plasma protein signature could be used to improve the diagnosis of women with adnexal ovarian mass or in screening to identify women that should be referred to specialized examination.

A five-DNA methylation signature act as a novel prognostic biomarker in patients with ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma.

Project description:BackgroundOvarian cancer is the most fatal tumor of the female reproductive system and the fifth leading cause of cancer death among women in the USA. The prognosis is poor due to the lack of biomarkers for treatment options.ResultsThe methylation array data of 551 patients with ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma (OSC) in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database were assessed in this study to explore the methylation biomarkers associated with prognosis and improve the prognosis of patients. These patients were divided into training (first two thirds) and validation datasets (remaining one third). A five-DNA methylation signature was found to be significantly associated with the overall survival of patients with OSC using the Cox regression analysis in the training dataset. The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the five-DNA methylation signature could significantly distinguish the high- and low-risk patients in both training and validation sets. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis further confirmed that the five-DNA methylation signature exhibited high sensitivity and specificity to predict the prognostic survival of patients. Also, the five-DNA methylation signature was not only applicable in patients of different ages, stages, histologic grade, and size of residual tumor after surgery but also more accurate in predicting OSC prognosis compared with known biomarkers.ConclusionsThis five-DNA methylation signature demonstrated the potential of being a novel independent prognostic indicator and served as an important tool for guiding the clinical treatment of OSC to improve outcome prediction and management for patients. Hence, the findings of this study might have potential clinical significance.

A Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation-Related Gene Signature as Prognostic Biomarker for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer.

Project description:ObjectiveThe aim of the present study was to construct and test a liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS)-related gene signature as a prognostic tool for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).Materials and methodsThe data set GSE26712 was used to screen the differentially expressed LLPS-related genes. Functional enrichment analysis was performed to reveal the potential biological functions. GSE17260 and GSE32062 were combined as the discovery to construct an LLPS-related gene signature through a three-step analysis (univariate Cox, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, and multivariate Cox analyses). The EOC data set from The Cancer Genome Atlas as the test set was used to test the LLPS-related gene signature.ResultsThe differentially expressed LLPS-related genes involved in several cancer-related pathways, such as MAPK signaling pathway, cell cycle, and DNA replication. Eleven genes were selected to construct the LLPS-related gene signature risk index as prognostic biomarker for EOC. The risk index could successfully divide patients with EOC into high- and low-risk groups. The patients in high-risk group had significantly shorter overall survival than those with in low-risk group. The LLPS-related gene signature was validated in the test set and may be an independent prognostic factor compared to routine clinical features.ConclusionWe constructed and validated an LLPS-related gene signature as a prognosis tool in EOC through integrated analysis of multiple data sets.

Epithelial ovarian cancer biomarker

Project description:Protein biomarkers of early stages of disease are critical for managing the disease and improving outcomes. Unfortunately, discovery of protein biomarkers is hampered by the limited availability of assays for sensitive and reproducible quantification of proteins in complex biological matrices such as blood plasma. In the recent years, Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM) has emerged as a robust mass spectrometric method, capable of overcoming this limitation. Here, we present a comprehensive SRM-based strategy for developing protein biomarkers for epithelial ovarian cancer, and illustrate the extent to which SRM platform, combined with sound experimental design and statistical analysis, results in robust detection of predictive analytes. First, the biomarker development was guided by a discovery-driven proteomic effort to detect potential N-glycoprotein biomarker candidates in tissue of a genetically stable ovarian cancer mouse model. Next, 65 candidate markers were reproducibly quantified with SRM assays across a large cohort of over 200 plasma samples from ovarian cancer patients and healthy controls. Finally, these measurements were used to derive 5-protein signatures for distinguishing individuals with epithelial ovarian cancer from healthy controls. The sensitivity of the candidate biomarker signature in combination with CA125 ELISA-based measurements currently used in clinic, exceeded that of CA125 ELISA-based measurements alone. The SRM-based strategy in this study is broadly applicable. It can be used in any study that requires accurate and reproducible quantification of selected proteins in a high-throughput and multiplexed fashion.

Identification of a 7-microRNA signature in plasma as promising biomarker for nasopharyngeal carcinoma detection.

Project description:BackgroundCirculating microRNAs (miRNAs) have become reliable sources of non-invasive biomarkers for cancer diagnosis. Identification of promising miRNA biomarkers in plasma might benefit a lot to the detection of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).MethodsThe Exiqon miRNA qPCR panel was used in the screening stage to identify candidate miRNAs, which were further verified by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in the following three stages among plasma samples from 200 NPC patients and 189 healthy donors (as normal controls [NCs]). The identified miRNAs were further explored in tissue specimens (48 NPC vs 32 NCs) and plasma exosomes (32 NPC vs 32 NCs). Survival analyses were ultimately conducted by Cox regression models and Kaplan-Meier curves using log-rank tests.ResultsWe identified a 7-miRNA signature including let-7b-5p, miR-140-3p, miR-144-3p, miR-17-5p, miR-20a-5p, miR-20b-5p, and miR-205-5p in plasma for NPC diagnosis after four-stage validation. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) for the signature were 0.879, 0.884, 0.921, and 0.807 for the training, testing, external validation stage, and the combined three stages, respectively. In NPC tissues, miR-144-3p, miR-17-5p, miR-20a-5p, and miR-205-5p were consistently up-regulated while let-7b-5p and miR-140-3p were significantly down-regulated compared to NCs. However, none of the seven identified miRNAs were dysregulated in plasma-derived exosomes in NPC patients. As to survival analysis, none of the seven miRNAs seemed to be associated with NPC prognosis.ConclusionWe identified a 7-miRNA signature in plasma as promising non-invasive biomarkers for NPC detection.
