Abstract
BACKGROUND No reliable marker has been identified to predict postoperative recurrence of gastric cancer. We designed a clinical trial to investigate the utility of serum NY-ESO-1 antibody responses as a predictive marker for postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer. METHODS A multicenter prospective study was conducted between 2012 and 2021. Patients with resectable cT3-4 gastric cancer were included. Postoperative NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibody responses were serially evaluated every 3 months for 1 year in patients with positive preoperative antibody responses. The recurrence rate was assessed by the positivity of antibody responses at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. RESULTS Among 1001 patients, preoperative NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibody responses were positive in 12.6% and 18.1% of patients, respectively. NY-ESO-1 antibody responses became negative postoperatively in non-recurrent patients (negativity rates; 45% and 78% at 3 and 12 months, respectively), but remained positive in recurrent patients (negativity rates; 9% and 8%, respectively). p53 antibody responses remained positive in non-recurrent patients. In multivariate analysis, NY-ESO-1 antibody positivity at 3 months (P < 0.03) and 12 months (P < 0.001) were independent prognostic factors for a shorter recurrence-free interval. CONCLUSIONS Serum NY-ESO-1 antibodies may be a useful predictive marker for postoperative recurrence in gastric cancer. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION UMIN000007925.

[PMID: 38455491 PMCID: PMC10914697 DOI: 10.1002/ags3.12757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2023] [Revised: 10/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 03/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Purpose The NY-ESO-1 antigen is highly immunogenic and often spontaneously induces an immune response in patients with cancer. We conducted a large-scale multicenter cohort study to investigate the utility of serum NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibodies as predictive markers for the postoperative recurrence of gastric cancer. Here, we examined the usefulness of pre-treatment NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibodies as tumor markers for the diagnosis of gastric cancer in combination with carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). Methods A total of 1031 patients with cT3-4 gastric cancer were enrolled in the study. NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibodies were assessed prior to treatment. The positivity of NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibodies, CEA, and CA19-9 was evaluated before treatment. Results Serum NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibodies were positive in 12.6% and 18.1% of the patients, respectively. Positive NY-ESO-1 antibody response was correlated with male gender, higher cStage, and upper tumor location. However, a positive p53 antibody response was not associated with tumor factors. The combination of NY-ESO-1 or p53 antibody response with CEA and CA19-9, or the 4-factors, was positive in 45.1%, 49.6%, and 53.8% of patients, respectively. Moreover, the 4-factor combination was able to detect >60% of cStage III-IV diseases, which was 14% higher than that with the combination of CEA and CA19-9. Conclusion The combination of NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibody responses to CEA and CA19-9 increases the diagnostic accuracy of gastric cancer. Serum NY-ESO-1 and p53 antibodies may be useful tumor markers for gastric cancer.

Am J Cancer Res 2023; 13:3686-3704.

Abstract
Although an increasing body of evidence supports the crucial role of the SEC24 Homolog D, COPII Coat Complex Component (SEC24D) gene in the initiation and progression of cancer, a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of this gene is still lacking. In this study, we conducted an extensive investigation of SEC24D, aiming to elucidate its potential role and underlying mechanisms across multiple human tumors. Our analysis relied on data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. To validate our findings, we employed RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), targeted bisulfite sequencing (bisulfite-seq) molecular techniques. Our findings revealed elevated mRNA (Messenger RNA) and protein levels of SEC24D in different tumor tissues. However, the up-regulation of SEC24D was significantly correlated with shorter overall survival (OS), metastasis, and various clinical parameters in esophageal cancer (ESCA), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP). Expression validation analysis via RNA-seq and targeted bisulfite-seq analyses, further confirmed the higher expression of SEC24D in LUAD cancer cell lines as compared to normal controls. The DNA methylation level of SEC24D was found to be decreased in ESCA, LUAD, and KIRP samples. DNA methylation analysis via bisulfite-seq analysis also validate the lower promoter methylation level of SE24D in LUAD cell lines relative to controls. Moreover, we observed a significant association between the elevated expression of SEC24D and the levels of infiltrating cells, such as B cells, neutrophils, macrophages, CD8+ T cells, and CD4+ T cells. Analysis of SEC24-related genes revealed that "Protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, SNARE interaction in vesicular transport, Legionellosis, Pathogenic Escherichia coli infection" were mainly involved in the functional mechanism of SEC24D in ESCA, LUAD, and KIRP. Moreover, we also suggested a few valuable drugs (Acetaminophen, Acteoside, Cyclosporine, Polydatin, Estradiol, Estradiol, Quercetin) for treating ESCA, LUAD, and KIRP patients with respect to overexpressed SEC24D. To summarize, this comprehensive pan-cancer study investigated the association between SEC24D expression and clinical parameters in ESCA, LUAD, KIRP. The study provides valuable insights for further exploring the functional and therapeutic aspects of SEC24D and underscores its predictive significance in the carcinogenesis and prognosis of these specific cancer types.

Abstract
Despite accumulating evidence for the value of herbal drugs for cancer treatment, the mechanisms underlying their effects have not been fully elucidated in a systematic manner. In this study, we performed a network pharmacological analysis to elucidate the anti-esophageal cancer (EC) properties of the herbal drug FDY003, a mixture of Artemisia capillaris Thunberg (AcT), Cordyceps militaris (Linnaeus) Link (Cm), and Lonicera japonica Thunberg (LjT). FDY003 reduced human EC cell viability and increased the pharmacological effects of chemotherapeutic drugs. There were 15 active pharmacological chemicals targeting 61 EC-associated genes and proteins in FDY003. The FDY003 targets were key regulators of major oncogenic EC-associated signaling pathways, such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), p53, Janus kinase (JAK)-signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT), erythroblastic leukemia viral oncogene homolog (ErbB), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappa B), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) cascades. These EC-associated genes, proteins, and pathways targeted by FDY003 determine the malignant behaviors of EC cells, including cell death, survival, division, proliferation, and growth. This network pharmacological analysis provides an integrative view of the mechanisms by which FDY003 contributes to EC treatment.

Abstract
Esophageal cancer is associated with a dismal prognosis. The armamentarium of approved drugs is focused on chemotherapy with modest therapeutic benefit. Recently, checkpoint inhibitory monoclonal antibody Pembrolizumab was approved. In order to identify new targets and modalities for the treatment of esophagus squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) we searched the literature for circRNAs involved in the pathogenesis of ESCC. We identified two down-regulated and 17 up-regulated circRNAs as well as a synthetic circRNA with efficacy in preclinical in vivo systems. Down-regulated circRNAs sponge microRNAs directed against tumor suppressor genes. Up-regulated circRNAs sponge microRNAs directed against mRNAs, which encode proteins with pro-tumoral functions. We discuss issues such as reconstitution of down-regulated circRNAs and inhibition of up-regulated circRNAs with short interfering RNA (siRNA)- related entities. Also, we address druggability issues of the identified targets.

Abstract
Background: Chromobox family proteins (CBXs) are vital components of epigenetic regulation complexes and transcriptionally inhibit target genes by modifying the chromatin. Accumulating evidence indicates that CBXs are involved in the initiation and progression of multiple malignancies. However, the expression, function, and clinical relevance such as the prognostic and diagnostic values of different CBXs in esophageal carcinoma (ESCA) are still unclear. Methods: We applied Oncomine, TCGA, GEO, GEPIA, UALCAN, Kaplan–Meier plotter, cBioPortal, Metascape, and TIMER to investigate the roles of CBX family members in ESCA. Additionally, quantitative real-time PCR (RT-PCR), western blot, and immunofluorescence were used to verify the expression of CBX family members in ESCA clinical samples. Results: Compared with normal tissues, the mRNA expression levels of CBX1/3/8 were significantly increased in ESCA, whereas CBX7 mRNA expression was reduced in both the TCGA cohort and GEO cohort. In the TCGA cohort, ROC curves suggested that CBX1/2/3/4/8 had great diagnostic value in ESCA, and the AUCs were above 0.9. Furthermore, upregulation of CBX1/3/8 and downregulation of CBX7 were closely related to the clinicopathological parameters in ESCA patients, such as tumor grades, tumor nodal metastasis status, and TP53 mutation status. The survival analysis indicated that higher CBX1/3/8 mRNA expressions and lower CBX7 expression suggested an unfavorable prognosis in ESCA. High genetic change rate (52%) of CBXs was found in ESCA patients. Functions and pathways of mutations in CBXs and their 50 frequently altered neighbor genes in ESCA patients were investigated; the results showed that DNA repair and DNA replication were correlated to CBX alterations. Moreover, we found a significant correlation between the expression level of CBX family members and the infiltration of immune cells in ESCA. Finally, we verified the expression of CBX family members in clinical samples and found the results were consistent with the databases. Conclusion: Our study implied that CBX1/3/7/8 are potential targets of precision therapy for ESCA patients and new biomarkers for the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The monitoring of anti-p53 auto-antibodies in the peripheral blood has been used in cancer management; however, their clinical significance alone is limited. This pilot study aimed to describe the prevalence of elevated anti-p53 in newly diagnosed or recurrent upper gastrointestinal cancer or colorectal cancer in Chinese subjects. It also evaluated whether the addition of anti-p53 to a set of established tumor markers would allow for the detection of additional cancer cases than when using these markers alone. METHODS A total of 573 subjects, including 187 healthy individuals, 169 patients with upper gastrointestinal cancer and 217 patients with colorectal cancer were included in this observational, prospective study. All subjects were required to provide up to 10 mL of blood. The following biomarkers were measured: anti-p53, carcinoembryonic antigen, cancer antigen (CA)19-9, and CA72-4. RESULTS At the cutoff of 0.02 µg/mL, the sensitivity of anti-p53 in early-stage upper gastrointestinal cancer and colorectal cancer was 8.16% and 26.4%, and in late-stage disease was 7.81 and 28.0%, respectively. The specificity of anti-p53 in the healthy cohort at this cutoff was 98.4%. By adding anti-p53 to other tumor markers, the sensitivities were increased by 8.88%-9.47% in upper gastrointestinal cancer, and by 18.06%-25.00% in colorectal cancer; specificities decreased by 1%-2%. CONCLUSION The addition of anti-p53 to established tumor markers may improve their diagnostic value for patients with colorectal cancer.

Abstract
The Wilms tumor 1 gene, WT1, is overexpressed in various types of cancer, including gastric cancer. The product of WT1 is highly immunogenic and is a promising target molecule for cancer immunotherapy. The current study aimed to examine the production of WT1-specific IgG and IgM autoantibodies to identify biomarkers of diagnostic value in patients with gastric cancer. IgG antibodies that bind to WT1-derived peptides were obtained, the serum levels of which correlate with those of IgG antibodies against the WT1 protein in patients with intestinal malignancies. The serum levels of IgG and IgM antibodies against the WT1-271 peptide (271-288 amino acids) were examined in 39 healthy individuals and 97 patients with gastric cancer. The positivity cutoff value was determined according to the receiver operating characteristic curve. The association between WT1-271 IgM and the clinicopathological factors and prognosis of patients was additionally analyzed. The results revealed that serum WT1-271 IgM antibody levels in patients with gastric cancer were significantly higher than those in healthy individuals. The sensitivity and specificity of this antibody for gastric cancer were 67.0 and 71.8%, respectively; this sensitivity was improved when compared with conventional tumor markers (P<0.001). There was no statistical difference in WT1-271 IgG antibody levels between patients with gastric cancer and healthy individuals. Serum WT1-271 IgM antibody levels were not significantly associated with clinicopathological factors but were associated with unfavorable prognosis. Serum WT1-271 IgM antibody levels could serve as a diagnostic biomarker in patients with gastric cancer.

Abstract
A significant number of cancer cases are afflicted by gastrointestinal cancers annually. Lifestyle and nutrition have a huge effect on gastrointestinal function, and unhealthy habits have become quite widespread in recent decades, culminating in the rapid growth of gastrointestinal cancers. The most prevalent cancers are lip and mouth cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, liver and bile duct cancer, pancreatic cancer, and colorectal cancer. Risk factors such as red meat consumption, alcohol consumption, tea, rice, viruses such as Helicobacter pylori and Ebstein Bar Virus (EBV), along with reduced physical activity, predispose the gastrointestinal tract to damage and cause cancer. According to the rapid increase of cancer incidence and late diagnosis of gastrointestinal malignancies, further epidemiological researches remain necessary in order to make appropriate population-based preventive policies. In this study, we reviewed clinical symptoms, risk factors, preventative measures, as well as incidence and mortality rates of gastrointestinal malignancies worldwide with focus on Iranian population.

Presence of serum RalA and serum p53 autoantibodies in 1833 patients with various types of cancers. Int J Clin Oncol 2021; 27:72-76. [PMID: 34632560 DOI: 10.1007/s10147-021-02045-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND RalA is a member of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. The Anti-RalA autoantibodies (s-RalA-Abs) act as tumor markers in various types of cancer and are negatively associated with the p53 autoantibodies (s-p53-Abs). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between s-RalA-Abs and s-p53-Abs in various types of cancer. METHODS A total of 1833 cancer patients (esophageal cancer, 172; hepatocellular carcinoma, 91; lung cancer, 269; gastric cancer, 317; colon cancer, 262; breast cancer, 364; and prostate cancer, 358) and 73 healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. The levels of s-RalA-Abs and s-p53-Abs were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the positivity rates and relations between the two autoantibodies were evaluated. The cutoff values for s-RalA abs and s-p53 abs were set as mean + 2 standard deviation and the values higher than the cutoff values were defined as positive. RESULTS The titers in all cancer types were significantly higher than those in the controls (P < 0.01). The positivity rates for s-RalA-Abs ranged between 11.7 and 21.5%, and those for s-p53-Abs ranged between 12 and 28.5%. A combined assay of the two antibodies revealed positivity rates of 20.9 and 44.2%. In Stage 0/I/II tumors, the positivity rates of the combination of the two antibodies ranged between 21.5 and 42.3%. The two autoantibodies were complementary to each other in the prostate and breast cancers, but independent in other carcinomas. CONCLUSION The combined use of s-RalA-Abs and s-p53-Abs tended to increase the positivity rate in all cancers, including Stage 0/I/II cancers.

Association of Serum Anti-PCSK9 Antibody Levels with Favorable Postoperative Prognosis in Esophageal Cancer. Front Oncol 2021; 11:708039.

Abstract
Background Esophageal cancer often appears as postoperative metastasis or recurrence after radical surgery. Although we had previously reported that serum programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) level correlated with the prognosis of esophageal cancer, further novel biomarkers are required for more precise prediction of the prognosis. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is associated with the cholesterol metabolism. But there was no report of relationship between serum PCSK9 antibody and cancer. Therefore, we investigated whether anti-PCSK9 antibodies could be a novel biomarker for solid cancer. Methods Serum levels of anti-PCSK9 antibodies and antigens in patients with solid cancer were analyzed using amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay (AlphaLISA). The reactivity of serum antibodies against recombinant PCSK9 protein was investigated by Western blotting, and the expression of PCSK9 antigens in esophageal cancer tissues was examined by immunohistochemical staining. Results AlphaLISA showed that serum anti-PCSK9 antibody (s-PCSK9-Ab) levels were significantly higher in patients with esophageal cancer, gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer than in healthy donors, and patients with esophageal cancer had the highest levels. The presence of serum antibody in patients was confirmed by Western blotting. There was no apparent correlation between s-PCSK9-Ab and PCSK9 antigen levels. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated the expression of PCSK9 antigen in both the cytoplasm and nuclear compartments of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma tissue but not in normal tissue. Compared with patients with low s-PCSK9-Ab levels, those with high s-PCSK9-Ab levels had a favorable postoperative prognosis after radical surgery for esophageal cancer. In the multivariate analysis, tumor depth and s-PCSK9-Ab level were identified as independent prognostic factors. In the univariate analysis of clinicopathological features, high PCSK9 antibody levels were not associated with sex, age, location, tumor depth, lymph node status, squamous cell carcinoma antigen, or p53-Ab, whereas they correlated significantly with PD-L1 levels, which were associated with unfavorable prognosis. Correlation between s-PCSK9-Ab and PD-L1 levels was also confirmed in the logistic regression analysis; therefore, low s-PCSK9-Ab levels could discriminate another poor prognosis group other than high-PD-L1 group. Conclusions Patients with solid cancer had higher s-PCSK9-Ab levels than healthy donors. High s-PCSK9-Ab levels indicated better prognosis for overall survival after surgery in patients with esophageal cancer.

Development of a panel of autoantibody against NSG1 with CEA, CYFRA21-1, and SCC-Ag for the diagnosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Clin Chim Acta 2021; 520:126-132. [PMID: 34119530 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2021.06.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/07/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Development of a panel of serum autoantibody against Neuron specific gene family member 1 (NSG1) with traditional tumor biomarkers of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to further improve the diagnostic efficiency for ESCC patients. METHODS Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining was used to detect the expression of NSG1 protein in 40 pairs of ESCC tissues and matched paracancerous tissues. Serum anti-NSG1 levels of 203 patients with early ESCC, 103 patients with advanced ESCC, 135 patients with esophageal benign lesion (EBL), and 155 healthy controls (HCs) were detected by ELISA. The diagnostic performances of all possible combinations of serum anti-NSG1with CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag were assessed to develop an optimal panel for ESCC diagnosis. RESULTS NSG1 protein expression in ESCC tissues was significantly higher than that in matched paracancerous tissues (p < 0.001). Serum anti-NSG1 expression in ESCC group was significantly higher than that in EBL group and HC group (p < 0.001). The AUC of serum anti-NSG1 for ESCC was 0.706, with 49.7% sensitivity at 93.5% specificity, superior to that of CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag. Of all possible combinations, serum anti-NSG1 combined with CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag showed the highest AUC of 0.758 and 67.3% sensitivity at 88.3% specificity for ESCC, with the highest NPV of 71.9% and the lowest NLR of 0.37. CONCLUSION Aberrant NSG1 protein expression in ESCC tissues might be responsible for massive releases of autoantibody anginst NSG1 in sera of ESCC. A panel of anti-NSG1 with CEA, CYFRA21-1 and SCC-Ag contributes to further improving the diagnostic efficiency for ESCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a serious cause of mortality and disability. AIS is a serious cause of mortality and disability. Early diagnosis of atherosclerosis, which is the major cause of AIS, allows therapeutic intervention before the onset, leading to prevention of AIS. METHODS Serological identification by cDNA expression cDNA libraries and the protein array method were used for the screening of antigens recognized by serum IgG antibodies in patients with atherosclerosis. Recombinant proteins or synthetic peptides derived from candidate antigens were used as antigens to compare serum IgG levels between healthy donors (HDs) and patients with atherosclerosis-related disease using the amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS The first screening using the protein array method identified death-inducer obliterator 1 (DIDO1), forkhead box J2 (FOXJ2), and cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF2) as the target antigens of serum IgG antibodies in patients with AIS. Then, we prepared various antigens including glutathione S-transferase-fused DIDO1 protein as well as peptides of the amino acids 297-311 of DIDO1, 426-440 of FOXJ2, and 607-621 of CPSF2 to examine serum antibody levels. Compared with HDs, a significant increase in antibody levels of the DIDO1 protein and peptide in patients with AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) but not in those with acute myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus (DM). Serum anti-FOXJ2 antibody levels were elevated in most patients with atherosclerosis-related diseases, whereas serum anti-CPSF2 antibody levels were associated with AIS, TIA, and DM. Receiver operating characteristic curves showed that serum DIDO1 antibody levels were highly associated with CKD, and correlation analysis revealed that serum anti-FOXJ2 antibody levels were associated with hypertension. A prospective case-control study on ischemic stroke verified that the serum antibody levels of the DIDO1 protein and DIDO1, FOXJ2, and CPSF2 peptides showed significantly higher odds ratios with a risk of AIS in patients with the highest quartile than in those with the lowest quartile, indicating that these antibody markers are useful as risk factors for AIS. CONCLUSIONS Serum antibody levels of DIDO1, FOXJ2, and CPSF2 are useful in predicting the onset of atherosclerosis-related AIS caused by kidney failure, hypertension, and DM, respectively.

Urinary microRNA biomarkers for detecting the presence of esophageal cancer. Sci Rep 2021; 11:8508. [PMID: 33879806 PMCID: PMC8058072 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-87925-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Esophageal cancer (EC) including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and adenocarcinoma (EAC) generally exhibits poor prognosis; hence, a noninvasive biomarker enabling early detection is necessary. Age- and sex-matched 150 healthy controls (HCs) and 43 patients with ESCC were randomly divided into two groups: 9 individuals in the discovery cohort for microarray analysis and 184 individuals in the training/test cohort with cross-validation for qRT-PCR analysis. Using 152 urine samples (144 HCs and 8 EACs), we validated the urinary miRNA biomarkers for EAC diagnosis. Among eight miRNAs selected in the discovery cohort, urinary levels of five miRNAs (miR-1273f, miR-619-5p, miR-150-3p, miR-4327, and miR-3135b) were significantly higher in the ESCC group than in the HC group, in the training/test cohort. Consistently, these five urinary miRNAs were significantly different between HC and ESCC in both training and test sets. Especially, urinary miR-1273f and miR-619-5p showed excellent values of area under the curve (AUC) ≥ 0.80 for diagnosing stage I ESCC. Similarly, the EAC group had significantly higher urinary levels of these five miRNAs than the HC group, with AUC values of approximately 0.80. The present study established novel urinary miRNA biomarkers that can early detect ESCC and EAC.

Cancer Manag Res 2021; 13:2733-2744. [PMID: 33790647 PMCID: PMC8005260 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s280326] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2020] [Accepted: 01/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Background and Objective In the present study, we detected the expression of MDM2 and p53 in oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) specimens, studied their relationship with the survival of OSCC patients, and explored the potential of MDM2 and p53 to serve as predictive OSCC tumour markers. Patients and Methods Through immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we detected the expression of MDM2 and the p53 protein in 157 OSCC specimens that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. After scoring the results, Pearson’s chi-square test and Cox regression were used for analysis. Results The results showed that the rates of high MDM2 and p53 expression in OSCC tissues were 60.5% and 51.0%, respectively. The expression levels of MDM2 and p53 in OSCC were significantly positively correlated (p<0.001, r=0.414). In addition, the pathological metastasis (M) status and MDM2 protein expression in OSCC were significantly correlated (p=0.027), and high expression of the p53 protein was positively correlated with OSCC transfer (p=0.005), pathological node status (p=0.008), and clinical stage (p=0.003). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the high expression of MDM2 and p53 was significantly related to the poor prognosis of OSCC. Moreover, subgroup analysis of the TNM staging of OSCC patients showed that the high expression of MDM2 and p53 was significantly correlated with poor OS and DFS of OSCC patients in either stage I–II or III–IV patients. Both univariate and Cox multivariate analyses showed that p53 and MDM2 can be used as independent factors for the prognosis of OSCC patients. Finally, our FISH detection results for MDM2 showed that the high expression of MDM2 was significantly correlated with the amplification of MDM2 (p=0.015). Conclusion This study shows that MDM2 and p53 can be used as independent predictors of the prognosis of patients with oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Clinical impact of preoperative serum p53 antibody titers in 1487 patients with surgically treated esophageal squamous cell carcinoma: a multi-institutional study. Esophagus 2021; 18:65-71. [PMID: 32715348 DOI: 10.1007/s10388-020-00761-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the clinicopathological significance of serum p53 antibodies (s-p53-Abs) in esophageal cancer have been evaluated previously, previous reports only analyzed around 100-200 patients. This study was a multi-institutional study promoted by the Japan Esophageal Society to evaluate the clinical significance of preoperative s-p53-Ab status and antibody titers in 1487 esophageal cancer patients without neoadjuvant therapy. METHODS A total of 1487 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma surgically treated between 2008 and 2016 in 15 hospitals in Japan were enrolled. The cut-off value to classify the patients into s-p53-Ab positive and negative groups was 1.30 U/ml. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to assess the s-p53-Abs cut-off levels to differentiate poor prognosis among the s-p53-Ab positive group. Univariate and multivariate analyses were used to evaluate the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of s-p53-Ab status and titers. RESULTS Although s-p53-Ab status was significantly associated with tumor depth (P = 0.002), nodal status (P = 0.027), and pathological stage (P = 0.002). The s-p53-Ab positive status was not significantly associated with poor overall survival (P = 0.699). Using 9.82 U/ml as a cut-off, the high s-p53-Ab titer group showed a significantly worse overall survival than the low s-p53-Ab titer group (P = 0.038). However, the difference was not significant in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION The presence of s-p53-Abs was associated with tumor progression. Although high s-p53-Ab titers more than 9.82 U/ml, might be associated with poor prognosis for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, it was not an independent risk factor.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several recent studies suggest that serum anti-p53 antibodies (s-p53-Abs) may be combined with other markers to detect esophageal and colorectal cancer. In this study, we assessed the sensitivity and specificity of s-p53-Abs detection of a new electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA; Elecsys anti-p53). METHODS Elecsys anti-p53 assay was used to analyze the level of s-p53-Abs in blood sera from patients with esophageal or colorectal cancer taken before treatment. Control blood sera from healthy volunteers, patients with benign diseases, and patients with autoimmune diseases served as a reference. In addition, squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) and cytokeratin 19 fragments (CYFRA21-1) were assessed in patients with esophageal cancer, and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 were assessed in patients with colorectal cancer. RESULTS Samples from 281 patients with esophageal cancer, 232 patients with colorectal cancer, and 532 controls were included in the study. The median value of s-p53-Abs in control samples was < 0.02 μg/mL (range < 0.02-29.2 μg/mL). Assuming 98% specificity, the cut-off value was determined as 0.05 μg/mL. s-p53-Abs were detected in 20% (57/281) of patients with esophageal cancer and 18% (42/232) of patients with colorectal cancer. In combination with SCC-Ag and CEA, respectively, s-p53-Abs detected 51% (144/281) of patients with esophageal and 53% (124/232) of patients with colorectal cancer. CONCLUSIONS The new s-p53-Abs assay Elecsys anti-p53 was useful in detecting esophageal and colorectal cancers with high specificity. Adding s-p53-Abs to conventional markers significantly improved the overall detection rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The positive response and the clinical usefulness of 14 serum antibodies in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) were examined in this study. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) was used to investigate the frequency of gene expressions, mutations, and amplification of these 14 antigens and also the possible effects of antibody induction. METHODS Blood serum derived from 85 patients with ESCC was collected and analyzed for the 14 antibodies using ELISA. The prognosis between positive and negative antibodies were then compared. The antibody panel included LGALS1, HCA25a, HCC-22-5, and HSP70. RESULTS Patient serum was positive for all antibodies, except VEGF, with the positive rates ranging from 1.18 to 10.59%. Positive rates for LGALS1, HCA25a, HCC-22-5, and HSP70 were > 10%. TCGA data revealed that all antigen-related genes had little or no mutation or amplification, and hence an increase in gene expression affected antibody induction. The positive results from the panel accounted for the positive rate comparable to the combination of CEA and SCC. No significant association was observed between the presence of antibodies and disease prognosis. CONCLUSIONS The detection rates of LGALS1, HCA25a, HCC-22-5, and HSP70 were 10% higher in patients with ESCC. Gene overexpression may be involved in such antibody production. These four antibodies were applied as a panel in comparison with conventional tumor markers. Moreover, it was confirmed that the combination of this panel and the conventional tumor markers significantly improved the positive rate.

Abstract
Some cancers are related to atherosclerotic diseases; therefore, these two types of disease may share some antibody biomarkers in common. To investigate this, a first screening of sera was performed from patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) or acute ischemic stroke (AIS) for serological identification of antigens using recombinant cDNA expression cloning (SEREX). The amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay‐linked immunosorbent assay (AlphaLISA) method, which incorporates glutathione donor beads and anti‐human IgG acceptor beads, was used to evaluate serum antibody levels. SEREX screening identified low‐density lipoprotein receptor–related protein–associated protein 1 (LRPAP1) as a target antigen of serum IgG antibodies in the sera of patients with ESCC or AIS. Antigens, including recombinant glutathione S‐transferase–fused LRPAP1 protein, were prepared to examine serum antibody levels. AlphaLISA revealed significantly higher antibody levels against the LRPAP1 protein in patients with solid cancers such as ESCC and colorectal carcinoma and some atherosclerosis‐related diseases such as AIS and diabetes mellitus compared with healthy donors. Correlation analysis revealed that the elevated serum antibody levels against LRPAP1 were associated with smoking, a well‐known risk factor for both cancer and atherosclerosis. Serum LRPAP1 antibody is therefore a common marker for the early diagnosis of some cancers and atherosclerotic diseases and may reflect diseases caused by habitual smoking.

Six autoantibodies as potential serum biomarkers of hepatocellular carcinoma: A prospective multicenter study. Int J Cancer 2020; 147:2578-2586. [PMID: 32574375 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.33165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 06/05/2020] [Accepted: 06/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/21/2022]
Abstract
Serum autoantibodies have been reported to react with tumor-associated antigen (TAA) in various cancers. This multicenter study evaluated the diagnostic and prognostic value of six autoantibodies against a panel of six hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-associated antigens, including Sui1, p62, RalA, p53, NY-ESO-1 and c-myc. A total of 160 patients with HCC and 74 healthy controls were prospectively enrolled from six institutions. Serum antibody titers were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. The sensitivities were 19% for Sui1, 18% for p62, 17% for RalA, 11% for p53, 10% for NY-ESO-1 and 9% for c-myc. Overall sensitivity of the TAA panel (56%) was higher than that of α-fetoprotein (41%, P < .05). The combined sensitivity of the TAA panel and α-fetoprotein was significantly higher than that of α-fetoprotein alone (P < .001). The difference in overall survival of TAA panel-positive and panel-negative patients was significant when the Stage I/II patients were combined (P = .023). Overall survival was worse in NY-ESO-1 antibody-positive than in NY-ESO-1 antibody-negative patients (P = .002). Multivariate analysis found that positivity for the TAA panel was independently associated with poor prognosis (P = .030). This TAA panel may have diagnostic and prognostic value in the patients with HCC.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to identify novel antibody markers for the early diagnosis of atherosclerosis in order to improve the prognosis of patients at risk for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI). A first screening involved the serological identification of antigens by recombinant cDNA expression cloning and identified additional sex combs-like 2 (ASXL2) as a target antigen recognized by serum IgG antibodies in the sera of patients with atherosclerosis. Antigens, including the recombinant glutathione S-transferasefused ASXL2 protein and its synthetic peptide were then prepared to examine serum antibody levels. Amplified luminescence proximity homoge-neous assay-linked immunosorbent assay, which incorporates glutathione-donor beads and anti-human-IgG-acceptor beads, revealed significantly higher serum antibody levels against the ASXL2 protein and its peptide in the patients with AIS, diabetes mellitus, AMI, chronic kidney disease, esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, or colorectal carcinoma compared with those in healthy donors. The ASXL2 antibody levels were well associated with hypertension complication, but not with sex, body mass index, habitual smoking, or alcohol intake. These results suggest that the serum ASXL2 antibody marker can discriminate between hypertension-induced atherosclerotic AIS and AMI, as well as a number of digestive organ cancers.

[PMID: 32765875 DOI: 10.3892/mco.2020.2098] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Accepted: 06/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Ras-like GTPases, RalA and RalB, are members of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. RalA expression has been shown to be associated with aggressive clinicopathological characteristics and progression in cancer. RalA protein has been shown to be involved in immune reactions in some patients with cancer; however, the clinicopathological significance of serum RalA antibody in patients with gastric cancer has not been investigated. Serum samples of 291 patients with gastric cancer and 73 healthy controls were analyzed for serum RalA antibody using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A cut-off optical density value was fixed at 0.255 (mean of control + 2 standard deviations). The clinicopathological and prognostic significance of s-RalA-Abs was evaluated. The positivity rate for serum RalA antibody (s-RalA-Abs) was 15%. The presence of serum RalA antibody was higher in younger patients compared with elderly patients, however this tendency was not statistically significant. s-RalA-Abs was not associated with tumor stage. Since s-RalA-Abs was independent of CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), the combination of s-RalA-Abs with CEA and CA19-9 significantly increased the detection rate of gastric cancer at each tumor stage. Patients who were tested positive for s-RalA-Abs showed poor long-term survival; however, this association was not statistically significant by multivariate analysis. In conclusion, s-RalA-Abs may be a candidate serum marker for gastric cancer, when used in combination with CEA and/or CA19-9. Additionally, the presence of s-RalA-Abs, in combination with CEA and/or CA19-9, was associated with poor survival in patients with gastric cancer.

Serum Anti-p53 Antibody Can Serve as a Predictive Marker for Histological Grade of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasms of the Pancreas. Pancreas 2020; 49:768-773. [PMID: 32541631 DOI: 10.1097/mpa.0000000000001570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to clarify the diagnostic impact of measuring serum anti-p53 antibody (S-p53Ab) in predicting the histological grades of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) of the pancreas. METHODS We compared the measured values and positive prevalence of S-p53Ab across the different histological grades of 111 resected IPMN cases. We also evaluated the TP53 alterations using immunohistochemistry and next-generation sequencing. RESULTS Serum anti-p53 antibody were detected in 6 of 111 cases, all of their histological grades were high-grade dysplasia (HGD) and invasive carcinoma (INV). Positive prevalence of S-p53Ab was higher in cases with INV (4/35 cases, 11.4%) than those with HGD (2/38 cases, 5.3%), whereas S-p53Abs were undetectable in cases with low-grade dysplasia. Measured S-p53Ab values were not correlated with either carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) or carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9). In 4 of 6 S-p53Ab-positive cases, the TP53 alterations-somatic pathogenic mutations or aberrant immunoreactivity-were identified in their IPMN lesions. A combination assay of S-p53Ab, CEA, and CA 19-9 revealed a 38.4% sensitivity and 81.6% specificity for predicting HGD/INV. CONCLUSIONS Serum anti-p53 antibody can serve as a surrogate marker for TP53 alterations and help predict the presence of HGD/INV in cases with IPMN, in combination with CEA and CA 19-9.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM We evaluated the clinicopathological and prognostic significance of serum p53 (s-p53-Abs) and serum NY-ESO-1 autoantibodies (s-NY-ESO-1-Abs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), gastric cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 377 patients, 85 patients with ESCC, 248 patients with gastric cancer, and 44 patients with HCC were enrolled to measure s-p53-Abs and s-NY-ESO-1-Abs titers by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay before treatment. The clinicopathological significance and prognostic impact of the presence of autoantibodies were evaluated. Expression data based on the Cancer Genome Atlas and the prognostic impact of gene expression was also examined for discussion. RESULTS The positive rates of s-p53-Abs were 32.9% in ESCC, 15% in gastric cancer, and 4.5% in HCC. The positive rates of s-NY-ESO-1-Abs were 29.4% in ESCC, 9.7% in gastric cancer, and 13.6% in HCC. The presence of s-p53-Abs was not associated with tumor progression in these three cancer types. On the other hand, the presence of s-NY-ESO-1-Abs was significantly associated with tumor progression in ESCC and gastric cancer. The presence of s-p53-Abs and/or s-NY-ESO-1-Abs was significantly associated with poor prognosis in gastric cancer but not in ESCC nor HCC. CONCLUSIONS The presence of s-p53-Abs and/or s-NY-ESO-1-Abs was associated with tumor progression in ESCC and gastric cancer. These autoantibodies might have poor prognostic impacts on gastric cancer (UMIN000014530).

Abstract
HOXA13 overexpression has been detected in human ESCC tissue and high HOXA13 protein expression is correlated with a shorter median survival time in ESCC patients. Although aberrant expression of HOXA13 in ESCC has thus been established, little is known regarding the functional consequences thereof. The present study aimed to examine to what extent aberrant HOXA13 might drive carcinogenesis in esophageal keratinocytes. To this end, we overexpressed HOXA13 in a non-transformed human esophageal cell line EPC2-hTERT, performed gene expression profiling to identify key processes and functions, and performed functional experiments. We found that HOXA13 expression confers oncogenic hallmarks to esophageal keratinocytes. It provides proliferation advantage to keratinocytes, reduces sensitivity to chemical agents, regulates MHC class I expression and differentiation status and promotes cellular migration. Our data indicate a crucial role of HOXA13 at early stages of esophageal carcinogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Development of high-performance serum biomarkers will likely improve treatment outcomes of patients with gastric cancer (GC). We previously identified the candidate serum markers, anosmin 1 (ANOS1), dihydropyrimidinase-like 3 (DPYSL3), and melanoma-associated antigen D2 (MAGE-D2) and evaluated their clinical significance through a single-center retrospective analysis. Here we conducted a prospective multicenter observational study aimed at validating the diagnostic performance of these potential markers. METHODS We analyzed serum levels before and after surgery of the three potential biomarkers in patients with GC and healthy volunteers. Quantification of serum and GC tissue levels was performed using an ELISA. RESULTS Area under the curve (AUC) values that discriminated patients with GC from healthy controls were - 0.7058, 0.6188, and 0.5031 for ANOS1, DPYSL3, and MAGED2, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the ANOS1 assay were 0.36 and 0.85, respectively. The AUC value of ANOS1 that discriminated patients with stage I GC from healthy controls was 0.7131. Serum ANOS1 levels were significantly elevated in patients with stage I GC compared with those of healthy controls (median 1179 ng/ml and 461 ng/ml, respectively, P < 0.0001) and decreased after resection of primary GC lesions (P < 0.0001). The combination of serum ANOS1 and DPYSL3 levels increased the AUC value that discriminated patients with GC from healthy controls. Serum levels of ANOS1 did not significantly correlate with those of carcinoembryonic antigen, carbohydrate antigen 19-9, or other markers of inflammation. CONCLUSIONS Serum levels of ANOS1 may serve as a useful diagnostic tool for managing GC.

High serum PD-L1 level is a poor prognostic biomarker in surgically treated esophageal cancer. Cancer Med 2020; 9:1321-1327. [PMID: 31865635 PMCID: PMC7013049 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.2789] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2019] [Revised: 12/02/2019] [Accepted: 12/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) inhibitor has been approved as one of the standard therapies for various cancers. Some reports have shown that serum PD-L1 level is associated with advanced tumor stages and poor prognosis; however, corresponding pathological information in esophageal cancer patients is lacking. Therefore, we evaluated the clinicopathological and prognostic impact of serum PD-L1 levels in surgically treated esophageal cancer. METHODS A total of 150 patients who underwent radical resection for esophageal cancer were included in the study. Preoperative serum PD-L1 levels were analyzed using the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit. A cutoff level of 65.6 pg/mL was used to divide the patients into two groups, and univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to compare the clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses between these two groups. RESULTS Although significant associations between serum PD-L1 levels and clinicopathological variables were observed, serum PD-L1 level was significantly associated with high neutrophil counts, high CRP levels, low albumin levels, and high squamous cell carcinoma antigen levels. Furthermore, serum PD-L1 level was associated with poor overall survival independent to TNM factors. CONCLUSIONS High preoperative level of serum PD-L1 is a prognostic factor for poor overall survival in patients with surgically treated esophageal cancer.

MGMT autoantibodies as a potential prediction of recurrence and treatment response biomarker for glioma patients. Cancer Med 2019; 8:4359-4369. [PMID: 31210005 PMCID: PMC6675704 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.2346] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2019] [Revised: 05/31/2019] [Accepted: 06/01/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Cancer‐specific autoantibodies found in serum of cancer patients have been characterized as potential predictors of the high risk of recurrence and treatment response. The objective of this study is to investigate the clinical utility of serum O‐6‐methylguanine‐DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) autoantibodies as novel biomarkers for prediction of recurrence and treatment response for glioma through MGMT peptides microarray. Methods A total of 201 serum samples of glioma patients with various WHO grade and 311 serum samples of healthy donors were examined for the detection of MGMT autoantibodies by peptides microarray. The clinical value of MGMT autoantibodies was studied through univariable and multivariable analyses. Results Autoantibodies to MGMT peptides were detected in sera from glioma patients and five highly responsive autoantibodies to peptides were identified in the glioma group. The positive rate of MGMT autoantibody to 20 peptides in glioma groups is compared with healthy individuals, the positive rate of MGMT‐02 (45%), MGMT‐04 (27%), MGMT‐07 (21%), MGMT‐10 (13%), and MGMT‐18 (24%) were significantly elevated in patients with glioma. MGMT autoantibody and its protein expression exhibited a significant correlation. The levels of MGMT autoantibodies decreased on the 30th day after operation, reaching preoperative levels, similar to those when tumor recurrence developed. Univariable and multivariable analyses revealed that the only preoperative autoantibodies to MGMT‐02 peptide were independently correlated with recurrence‐free survival. Preoperative seropositive patients were more likely than seronegative patients to have shorter recurrence times and to be resistant to chemoradiotherapy or chemotherapy with temozolomide. Conclusion Monitoring the levels of preoperative serum autoantibodies to MGMT‐02 peptide was useful for predicting patients at high risk of recurrence and treatment response.

Using recursive partitioning approach to select tumor-associated antigens in immunodiagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma. Cancer Sci 2019; 110:1829-1841. [PMID: 30950146 PMCID: PMC6550128 DOI: 10.1111/cas.14013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2018] [Revised: 04/01/2019] [Accepted: 04/02/2019] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to select anti‐tumor‐associated antigen (TAA) autoantibodies as biomarkers in the immunodiagnosis of gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC) by the recursive partitioning approach (RPA) and further construct and evaluate a predictive model. A case‐control study was designed including 407 GAC patients as the case group and 407 normal controls. In addition, 67 serial serum samples from 25 GAC patients were collected at different time points before and after gastrectomy treatment. Autoantibodies against 14 TAA were measured in sera from all subjects by enzyme immunoassay. Finally, RPA resulted in the selection of nine‐panel TAA (c‐Myc, p16, HSPD1, PTEN, p53, NPM1, ENO1, p62, HCC1.4) from all detected TAA in the case‐control study; the classification tree based on this nine‐TAA panel had area under curve (AUC) of 0.857, sensitivity of 71.5% and specificity of 71.3%; The optimal panel also can identify GAC patients at an early stage from normal individuals, with AUC of 0.737, sensitivity of 64.9% and specificity of 70.5%. However, frequencies of the nine autoantibodies showed no correlation with GAC stage, tumor size, lymphatic metastasis or differentiation. GAC patients positive for more than two autoantibodies in the nine‐TAA panel had a worse prognosis than that of the GAC patients positive for no or one antibody. Titers of 10 autoantibodies in serial serum samples were significantly higher in GAC patients after surgical resection than before. In conclusion, this study showed that the panel of nine multiple TAAs could enhance the detection of anti‐TAA antibodies in GAC, and may be potential prognostic biomarkers in GAC.

Combined detection of serum autoantibodies as diagnostic biomarkers in esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma. Gastric Cancer 2019; 22:546-557. [PMID: 30426295 PMCID: PMC6476828 DOI: 10.1007/s10120-018-0894-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2018] [Accepted: 10/25/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND We previously found that autoantibodies against a panel of six tumor-associated antigens (p53, NY-ESO-1, MMP-7, Hsp70, PRDX6 and Bmi-1) may aid in early detection of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Here we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of this autoantibody panel in esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EJA) patients. METHODS Serum autoantibody levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in a training cohort and a validation cohort. We used receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) to calculate diagnostic accuracy. RESULTS We recruited 169 normal controls and 122 EJA patients to the training cohort, and 80 normal controls and 70 EJA patients to the validation cohort. Detection of the autoantibody panel demonstrated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.818, sensitivity 59.0% and specificity 90.5% in training cohort, and AUC 0.815, sensitivity 61.4% and specificity 90.0% in validation cohort in the diagnosis of EJA. Measurement of the autoantibody panel could distinguish early stage EJA patients from normal controls (AUC 0.786 and 0.786, sensitivity 50.0% and 56.0%, and specificity 90.5% and 90.0%, for training and validation cohorts, respectively). Moreover, a restricted panel consisting of autoantibodies against p53, NY-ESO-1 and Bmi-1 exhibited similar diagnostic performance for EJA (AUC 0.814 and 0.823, sensitivity 53.5% and 60.0%, and specificity 90.5% and 93.7%, for training and validation cohorts, respectively) and early stage EJA (AUC 0.744 and 0.773, sensitivity 55.6% and 52.0%, and specificity 90.5% and 93.7%, for training and validation cohorts, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Autoantibodies against an optimized TAA panel as serum biomarkers appear to help identify the present of early stage EJA.

Abstract
There is epidemiological evidence showing that drinking green tea can lower the risk of esophageal cancer (EC). The effect is mainly attributed to tea polyphenols and their most abundant component, (−)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). The possible mechanisms of tumorigenesis inhibition of EGCG include its suppressive effects on cancer cell proliferation, angiogenesis, DNA methylation, metastasis and oxidant stress. EGCG modulates multiple signal transduction and metabolic signaling pathways involving in EC. A synergistic effect was also observed when EGCG was used in combination with other treatment methods.
