Project description:Characterizing the metabolic changes pertaining to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with liver cirrhosis is believed to contribute towards early detection, treatment, and understanding of the molecular mechanisms of HCC. In this study, we compare metabolite levels in sera of 78 HCC cases with 184 cirrhotic controls by using ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with a hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-QTOF MS). Following data preprocessing, the most relevant ions in distinguishing HCC cases from patients with cirrhosis are selected by parametric and non-parametric statistical methods. Putative metabolite identifications for these ions are obtained through mass-based database search. Verification of the identities of selected metabolites is conducted by comparing their MS/MS fragmentation patterns and retention time with those from authentic compounds. Quantitation of these metabolites is performed in a subset of the serum samples (10 HCC and 10 cirrhosis) using isotope dilution by selected reaction monitoring (SRM) on triple quadrupole linear ion trap (QqQLIT) and triple quadrupole (QqQ) mass spectrometers. The results of this analysis confirm that metabolites involved in sphingolipid metabolism and phospholipid catabolism such as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC 17:0) are up-regulated in sera of HCC vs. those with liver cirrhosis. Down-regulated metabolites include those involved in bile acid biosynthesis (specifically cholesterol metabolism) such as glycochenodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate (3-sulfo-GCDCA), glycocholic acid (GCA), glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA), taurocholic acid (TCA), and taurochenodeoxycholate (TCDCA). These results provide useful insights into HCC biomarker discovery utilizing metabolomics as an efficient and cost-effective platform. Our work shows that metabolomic profiling is a promising tool to identify candidate metabolic biomarkers for early detection of HCC cases in high risk population of cirrhotic patients.

Project description:Purpose No blood biomarkers to detect early OSCC without clinical signs exist - diagnosis is solely based on histology of a visible tumor. Most OSCC patients are diagnosed at advanced stage, which leads to significant morbidity and poor survival. If high-risk patients were identified with blood-based biomarkers before clear clinical manifestations, tumors could be detected and treated at earlier stage. Patients and Methods Serum samples were collected from patients with OSCC at the Department of Otorhinolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, Helsinki University Hospital (Finland). Age and gender matched healthy individuals served as controls. Quantitative proteomic analysis with mass spectrometry was performed. Results We quantified 388 proteins in the serum samples. A complete separation between cases and controls was seen based on the protein expression profiles. With statistical analyses, we identified a set of eight proteins that most reliably separated OSCC patients from healthy individuals. Although the tumor stages varied from I to IVa, this set of proteins was able to identify all OSCCs and thus is sensitive for detecting even early tumors. Conclusion We are the first to suggest a set of serum biomarkers to be evaluated further as a diagnostic panel to detect preclinical OSCC in risk patients.

Project description:Osteoporosis is characterized by weakened bone microstructure and loss of bone mass. Current diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis are based on the T-score, which is a measure of bone mineral density. However, osteoporotic fragility fractures can occur regardless of the T-score, underscoring the need for additional criteria for the early detection of patients at fracture risk. To identify indicators of reduced bone strength, we performed serum proteomic analysis using data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry with serum samples from two patient groups, one with osteoporosis but no fractures and the other with osteopenia and fragility fractures. Collective evaluation of the results identified six serum proteins that changed to a similar extent in both patient groups compared with controls. Of these, extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), which contributes to bone formation, showed the most significant increase in serum levels in both patient groups. An ELISA-based assay suggested that ECM1 could serve as a serum indicator of the need for therapeutic intervention; however, further prospective studies with a larger sample size are necessary to confirm these results. The present findings may contribute to the provision of early and appropriate therapeutic strategies for patients at risk of osteoporotic fractures.

Project description:The presence of some malignancies, such as cancer, impacts on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) gene expression profiling, suggesting the potential suitability of these genes as diagnostic and prognostic markers. The objective of this study was to identify new markers in peripheral blood that differentiate between PDAC patients and healthy controls as a means of facilitating early detection of the disease. 18 patients with unresectable PDAC were recruited. The diagnosis of PDAC was based on a positive biopsy of the pancreatic mass during the surgery. 18 gender, age, and habits matched healthy controls were also included. Whole genome cDNA microarray hybridization of PBMC samples was performed to identify potential PDAC markers.

Project description:With the increasing cases of SARS-CoV2 mediated COVID-19, which has taken the form of a savagely spreading pandemic, quick and effective detection and diagnosis is the need of the hour. While clinical testing is aimed at identifying the positive vs. negative cases, there are also enormous challenges that have emerged with the diagnosis of asymptomatic patients. We have here enumerated identification and detection of SARS-CoV-2 viral peptides and proteins using high throughput mass spectrometry from nasopharyngeal swabs, which can be used for measuring peptides from SARS-CoV-2. This study is aimed at constructing a detection kit and assay via which a simplified sample collection and testing can be performed using swab put in the tubes containing organic solvents (ethanol, acetone or isopropanol), that can then be sent for testing in laboratory using mass spectrometry. This would simplify the detection and increase the robustness of test. Further, the invention has scope for identifying the asymptomatic population using the enumerated proteomics procedure.

Project description:Using the parameterized susceptible‐exposed‐infectious‐recovered model, we simulated the spread dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) outbreak and impact of different control measures, conducted the sensitivity analysis to identify the key factor, plotted the trend curve of effective reproductive number (R), and performed data fitting after the simulation. By simulation and data fitting, the model showed the peak existing confirmed cases of 59 769 arriving on 15 February 2020, with the coefficient of determination close to 1 and the fitting bias 3.02%, suggesting high precision of the datafitting results. More rigorous government control policies were associated with a slower increase in the infected population. Isolation and protective procedures would be less effective as more cases accrue, so the optimization of the treatment plan and the development of specific drugs would be of more importance. There was an upward trend of R in the beginning, followed by a downward trend, a temporary rebound, and another continuous decline. The feature of high infectiousness for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS‐CoV‐2) led to an upward trend, and government measures contributed to the temporary rebound and declines. The declines of R could be exploited as strong evidence for the effectiveness of the interventions. Evidence from the fourphase stringent measures showed that it was significant to ensure early detection, early isolation, early treatment, adequate medical supplies, patients’ being admitted to designated hospitals, and comprehensive therapeutic strategy. Collaborative efforts are required to combat the novel coronavirus, focusing on both persistent strict domestic interventions and vigilance against exogenous imported cases.

Project description:Increased incidence of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is mainly related to Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) infection. As OPSCCs are often diagnosed at an advanced stage, mortality and morbidity remain high. There are no diagnostic biomarkers for early stage detection of OPSCC. Serum from 25 patients with stage I-II OPSCC and 12 disease- individuals were studied with quantitative label-free proteomics using ultra-definition MSE. Statistical analyses were performed to identify proteins most reliably distinguishing early stage OPSCCs from controls. P16 was used as a surrogate marker for HPV. P16-positive and -negative tumours were also analysed separately. With two or more unique proteins per identification, 176 proteins were quantified. A clear separation between patients with early-stage tumours and controls was seen in principal component analysis. Latent structures discriminant analysis identified 96 proteins most reliably differentiating OPSCC patients from controls, with 13 upregulated and 83 downregulated in study cases. The set of proteins was studied further with network, pathway and protein-protein interaction analyses, and found to participate in e.g. lipid metabolism. We identified patients with early stage OPSCC from controls based on their serum proteome, and suggest a protein set for further evaluation as a diagnostic biomarker panel for OPSCC.

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.
