Identification of autoantibodies in colorectal cancer


ABSTRACT: Colorectal cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. The 5-year annual survival is less than half of the incidence rate that is predominantly due to late diagnosis of the disease striking the very urgent clinical necessity for biomarkers capable of detecting cancer malignancy at an early onset. During neoplastic transformation, cells undergo several behavioral changes that subsequently result in defects in cell division, immune tolerance, inflammation, and cellular death mechanisms. These processes lead to the development of tumor antigens (TA) that evoke an immune response and subsequent generation of antibodies against self-proteins, called autoantibodies (AAbs). This study aims to identify autoantibody biomarkers in patient’s sera for early screening of the cancer. High-density human proteome array having approximately 17,000 full-length recombinant human proteins were used in the study. The generation of an autoimmune response against important cancer-linked pathways could be important in terms of screening for the disease. The process of immune surveillance starts as tumorigenesis begins and hence autoantibodies can be detected in a very early stage of cancer. Moreover, AAbs can be easily extracted from blood serum through the least invasive test for disease screening.
