Identification and validation of AIB1 and EIF5A2 for noninvasive detection of bladder cancer in urine samples.

ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated that amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) and eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (EIF5A2) overexpression was an independent predictor of poor clinical outcomes for patients with bladder cancer (BCa). In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of AIB1 and EIF5A2 alone and in combination with nuclear matrix protein 22 (NMP22) as noninvasive diagnostic tests for BCa. Using urine samples from 135 patients (training set, controls [n = 50] and BCa [n = 85]), we detected the AIB1, EIF5A2, and NMP22 concentrations using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We applied multivariate logistic regression analysis to build a model based on the three biomarkers for BCa diagnosis. The diagnostic accuracy of the three biomarkers and the model were assessed and compared by the area under
