Abstract:
Background: Early cancer diagnosis is one of the most important challenges of cancer research, since in many can- cers it can lead to cure for patients with early stage diseases. For epithelial ovarian cancer (which is the leading cause of death among gynaecologic malignancies) the classical detection approach is based on measurements of CA-125 biomarker. However, the poor sensitivity and specificity of this biomarker impacts the detection of early-stage cancers.
Methods: Here we use a computational approach to investigate the effect of combining multiple biomarkers for ovarian cancer (e.g., CA-125 and IL-7), to improve early cancer detection.
Results: We show that this combined biomarkers approach could lead indeed to earlier cancer detection. However, the immune response (which influences the level of secreted IL-7 biomarker) plays an important role in improving and/or delaying cancer detection. Moreover, the detection level of IL-7 immune biomarker could be in a range that would not allow to distinguish between a healthy state and a cancerous state. In this case, the construction of solu- tion diagrams in the space generated by the IL-7 and CA-125 biomarkers could allow us predict the long-term evolu- tion of cancer biomarkers, thus allowing us to make predictions on cancer detection times.
Conclusions: Combining cancer and immune biomarkers could improve cancer detection times, and any predic- tions that could be made (at least through the use of CA-125/IL-7 biomarkers) are patient specific.

Project description:Owing to the lack of effective screening tools and early detection biomarkers, ovarian cancer (OC) still remains as a deadly disease with highest mortality among other gynecological cancers. So far there have been no attempts to discover biomarkers using early stage OC patients. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recognized as great tool to develop non-invasive biomarkers in various cancers including ovarian cancer.

Project description:Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, because its early detection is difficult due to the absence of recognizable physical symptoms and a lack of sensitive screening methods. Despite a large number of proteomic studies of biological fluids from ovarian cancer patients, only a few biomarkers are used in clinical practice. Low molecular weight endogenous peptides more easily diffuse across endothelial barriers and can be more relevant biomarker candidates. In this current study, detailed peptidomic analysis of 26 ovarian cancer and 15 non-cancer samples of biological fluids (ascites and sera) were performed using TripleTOF 5600+ mass-spectrometer.

Project description:A novel oligonucleotide microarray design is described whereby one can screen for all known oncogenic fusion transcripts by one microarray hybridization. Measurements of chimeric transcript junctions are combined with exon-wise measurements of individual fusion partners. Keywords: Nimblegen custom-design The pilot data included a design with 68,861 oligonucleotide probes covering all combinations of chimeric exon-exon junctions from 275 pairs of fusion genes, as well as sets of oligos internal to all the exons of the fusion partners. Proof of principle was demonstrated by detection of known fusion genes (such as TCF3:PBX1, ETV6:RUNX1, and TMPRSS2:ERG) from six positive controls consisting of leukemia cell lines and prostate cancer biopsies.

Project description:Introduction: Serous ovarian cancer is the leading cause of gynecological cancers, with a 5-year survival rate below 45% due in part to the nonspecific symptoms and lack of accurate screening for early detection. In comparison, patients diagnosed at an early stage have a five-year survival rate of 92%, demonstrating the urgent need for biomarkers for the early detection of disease. Serum from patients with serous ovarian cancer contain antibodies to tumor antigens that are potential biomarkers for early detection. The purpose of this study is to identify a panel of novel serum autoantibody (AAb) biomarkers for the early diagnosis of serous ovarian cancer. Methods: To detect AAb we probed high-density programmable protein microarrays (NAPPA) containing 10,247 antigens with sera from patients with serous ovarian cancer (n = 30 cases/ 30 healthy controls) and measured bound IgG. We identified 735 promising tumor antigens using cutoff values of 10% sensitivity at 95% specificity and K-value>0.8, as well as visual analysis and evaluated these with an independent set of serous ovarian cancer sera (n = 30 cases/ 30 benign disease controls/ 30 heathy controls). Thirty-nine potential tumor autoantigens were identified with sensitivities ranging from 3 to 39.7% sensitivity at 95% specificity and were retested using an orthogonal programmable ELISA assay. A total of 13 potential tumor antigens were identified for further validation using an independent ovarian cancer sera set (n = 44 cases/ 34 healthy controls). Sensitivities at 95% specificity were calculated and a serous ovarian cancer classifier was constructed. In addition, we evaluated a longitudinal study using blinded serous pre-diagnostic ovarian cancer sera (n = 9 cases/ 90 controls) to examine the value of three (CTAG1, CTAG2, and p53) of these AAb in comparison to CA 125. Results: We identified 11-AAbs (ICAM3, CTAG2, p53, STYXL1, PVR, POMC, NUDT11, TRIM39, UHMK1, KSR1, and NXF3) that distinguished serous ovarian cancer cases from healthy controls with a combined 45% sensitivity at 100% specificity. In our longitudinal analysis, p53- and CTAG-AAb were detected up to 9 months prior to ovarian cancer diagnosis and increased with CA 125 levels. Conclusion: These are potential circulating biomarkers for the early detection of serous ovarian cancer, and warrant confirmation in larger clinical cohorts. In addition, p53- and CTAG1/2-AAb are detected in a subset of women with ovarian cancer up to 9 months prior to clinical diagnosis. Their utility as a biomarker for early detection, beyond CA 125, warrant further investigation.

Project description:There are currently no screening methods for high grade ovarian cancer (HGOC) that guarantee effective early detection for high risk women such as germline BRCA mutation carriers. Therefore, the standard-of-care remains risk reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) around age 40. Proximal liquid biopsy has been shown to be a promising source of biomarkers, but sensitivity has not yet qualified for clinical implementation. We report the discriminant performance of a novel proteomic classifier for detection of HGOC in high-risk population, and the safety and feasibility of simplified utero-tubal lavage (UtL) as a method for sampling proximal liquid biopsy.The training set included 93 women with high-risk for HGOC (BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers), including: 16 HGOC patients and 77 asymptomatic women, who donated UtL liquid biopsies, in 3 Israeli medical centers (Biomarkers for Early Detection of Ovarian Cancer Using Uterine Lavage (BEDOCA); ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03150121). The proteome of the microvesicle fraction of the samples was profiled by mass spectrometry and a classifier was developed using logistic regression. An independent cohort of 104 BRCA mutation carriers was used as validation. Safety information was collected for all women who opted to UtL in a clinic setting.

Project description:Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality and early detection is the key to improve survival. However, there are no reliable blood-based tests currently available for early-stage lung cancer diagnosis. Here, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing of early-stage lung cancer and found lipid metabolism was broadly dysregulated in different cell types and glycerophospholipid metabolism is the most significantly altered lipid metabolism-related pathway. Untargeted lipidomics were detected in an exploratory cohort of 311 participants. Through support vector machine algorithm-based and mass spectrum-based feature selection, we have identified nine lipids as the most important detection features and developed a LC-MS-based targeted assay utilizing multiple reaction monitoring. This target assay achieved 100.00% specificity on an independent validation cohort. In a hospital-based lung cancer screening cohort of 1036 participants examined by low dose CT and a prospective clinical cohort containing 109 participants, this assay reached over 90.00% sensitivity and 92.00% specificity. Accordingly, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-mass spectrometry imaging assay confirmed the selected lipids were differentially expressed in early-stage lung cancer tissues in situ. Thus, this method, designated as Lung Cancer Artificial Intelligence Detector (LCAID), may be used for early detection of lung cancer or large-scale screening of high-risk populations in cancer prevention.
