Investigating angiogenin/ribonuclease 5 as a diagnostic biomarker for bladder cancer: In-depth analysis from a systematic review and meta-analysis. Clin Biochem 2024; 130:110780. [PMID: 38906363 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinbiochem.2024.110780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/06/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/23/2024]
Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) represents a prevalent malignancy in North America and Europe, posing significant health burdens. The identification of a reliable biomarker for early BC detection is imperative to enhance prognostic outcomes. Our aim for this study is to determine the diagnostic accuracy and potential clinical utility of Angiogenin/Ribonuclease 5 (ANG/RNase 5) as a biomarker for detection of BC. A systematic literature search across multiple databases up to March 20, 2024, was conducted. CMA 3.7 and Meta-disk 1.4 were used to analyze specificity, sensitivity, AUC, DOR, LR+, LR-, Q*index, and SROC for ANG as a urinary biomarker in BC patients. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's regression asymmetry and Begg's rank correlation tests. Additional diagnosing analyses were performed using Python programming language version 3.12.1. In this meta-analysis of seven case-control studies comprising 1,051 participants (576 cases and 481 controls), pooled sensitivity was 0.701 (95 % CI: 0.662-0.738), specificity was 0.787 (95 % CI: 0.752-0.819), LR + was 3.582 (95 % CI: 2.260-5.676), LR- was 0.398 (95 % CI: 0.327-0.485), and DOR was 10.637 (95 % CI: 6.106-18.529). The AUC and Q* index values were 0.823 and 0.756, respectively. Both Begg and Mazumdar Rank Correlation Test (p = 0.229) and Egger's Test of the Intercept (p = 0.135) revealed no significant evidence of publication bias. Our meta-analysis confirms ANG/RNase 5 as a reliable biomarker for early bladder cancer detection, showing strong diagnostic accuracy and no publication bias.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor, and metastasis is one of the most important challenges in the treatment of CRC. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel and non-invasive treatment that influence cytoskeleton and to reduce cancer metastases. In addition, cytoskeleton is related to cancer metastases. Two isogenic colorectal cancer cell lines SW480 and SW620 were used in the present study, we found that m-THPC mediated PDT changed the cytotoxicity, apoptosis and cytoskeleton in both cell lines. Interestingly, the expression of intermediate filaments protein cytokeratin18 were different in the two cell lines. In order to further confirm the relationship between cytoskeleton and cell migration, we combined with microfilament stabilizer jasplakinolide (JASP) to observe the effects of microfilaments on cell migration, cytotoxicity and apoptosis. Taken together, these findings suggest that m-THPC-PDT could induce cytoplasmic cytoskeleton destruction in both types of cells, especially on microfilaments and microtubules. Moreover, in SW480 cells, microtubules may participate in the apoptosis process induced by m-THPC-PDT, while microfilaments may participate in the process of m-THPC-PDT inhibiting cell migration. But in SW620 cells, only microfilaments may be involved in m-THPC-PDT induced apoptosis and inhibition of cell migration.

IRANIAN JOURNAL OF CANCER PREVENTION 2016; 9:e4086. [PMID: 27482329 PMCID: PMC4951759 DOI: 10.17795/ijcp-4086] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2015] [Accepted: 03/14/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Various markers are suggested for diagnosis and monitoring of transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder (TCC), including cytokeratins (CKs). OBJECTIVES In the present study, the circulating CK18 (M65) and its caspase-cleaved form, ccCK18 (M30), have been investigated in a group of patients with TCC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 60 patients before surgical resection, among which the samples of 26 patients after resection were also included. We measured the levels of soluble M30 and M65 molecules by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The relation between these markers and patients' clinical characteristics was evaluated. RESULTS M30 and M65 in total patient sera were 148 ± 16 U/L and 318 ± 34 U/L, respectively. A correlation existed between pre-operative M30 and M65 levels (P < 0.0001, Spearman r = 0.51). M65, but not M30, showed a significant relation to tumor stage and grade. The M65 quantity in patients with T3/T4 tumor stages (350 ± 42 U/L) was higher than that of patients with T1/T2 stages (293 ± 45U/L; P < 0.038). Patients with tumor grades III/IV also showed higher levels of M65 compared to patients with tumor grades I/II (P < 0.04). The M30:M65 ratio in all patients was 0.54 ± 0.04. There was a lower M30:M65 ratio in patients with T3/T4 stage tumors and those with tumor grades III/IV (P < 0.02). The M30 (133 ± 19 U/L) and M65 levels (240 ± 21 U/L) after surgery did not significantly differ compared to their pre-operative values. However, a correlation between the pre- and post-operative M30:M65 ratio in patients ≥ 70 years was seen (P = 0.009). CONCLUSIONS These data suggested a relationship of both M65 and the M30:M65 ratio to tumor progression which might imply their importance in TCC monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer is among the five most common malignancies worldwide. Altered expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling -3 (SOCS-3) has been implicated in various types of human cancers; however, its role in bladder cancer is not well established. AIM The present study was undertaken to investigate the mRNA expression of SOCS-3 in normal and cancerous bladder tissue and to explore its correlation with urinary levels of some proinflammatory cytokines, cytokeratin-18 (CK -18) and with tumor histopathological grading, in order to evaluate their role as potential diagnostic markers. MATERIALS AND METHODS SOCS3 mRNA expression levels were evaluated using quantitative real time PCR. Urinary levels of interleukins 6 and 8 were estimated by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Cytokeratin-18 expression was analyzed by immuunohistochemistry then validated by ELISA. RESULTS SOC3 m RNA expression levels were significantly lower in high grade urothelial carcinoma (0.36±0.12) compared to low grade carcinoma (1.22±0.38) and controls (4.08±0.88), (p<0.001). However, in high grade urothelial carcinoma the urinary levels of IL-6, IL-8, total CK-18(221.33±22.84 pg/ml, 325.2±53.6 pg/ ml, 466.7±57.40 U/L respectively) were significantly higher than their levels in low grade carcinoma (58.6±18.6 pg/ ml, 58.3±50.2 pg/ml, 185.5±60.3 U/L respectively) and controls (50.9±23.0 pg/ml, 7.12±2.74 pg/ml, 106.7±47.3U/L respectively), (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Advanced grade of urothelial bladder carcinoma is significantly associated with lowered mRNA expression of SOC3 as well as elevated urinary levels of proinflammatory cytokines and CK-18. Furthermore, our results suggested that urinary IL-8, IL-6 and CK-18 may benefit as noninvasive biomarkers for early detection as well as histopathological subtyping of urothelial carcinoma.

Abstract
Background The immense diagnostic potential of human plasma has prompted great interest and effort in cataloging its contents, exemplified by the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) Plasma Proteome Project (PPP) pilot project. Due to challenges in obtaining a reliable blood plasma protein list, HUPO later re-analysed their own original dataset with a more stringent statistical treatment that resulted in a much reduced list of high confidence (at least 95%) proteins compared with their original findings. In order to facilitate the discovery of novel biomarkers in the future and to realize the full diagnostic potential of blood plasma, we feel that there is still a need for an ultra-high confidence reference list (at least 99% confidence) of blood plasma proteins. Methods To address the complexity and dynamic protein concentration range of the plasma proteome, we employed a linear ion-trap-Fourier transform (LTQ-FT) and a linear ion trap-Orbitrap (LTQ-Orbitrap) for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. Both instruments allow the measurement of peptide masses in the low ppm range. Furthermore, we employed a statistical score that allows database peptide identification searching using the products of two consecutive stages of tandem mass spectrometry (MS3). The combination of MS3 with very high mass accuracy in the parent peptide allows peptide identification with orders of magnitude more confidence than that typically achieved. Results Herein we established a high confidence set of 697 blood plasma proteins and achieved a high 'average sequence coverage' of more than 14 peptides per protein and a median of 6 peptides per protein. All proteins annotated as belonging to the immunoglobulin family as well as all hypothetical proteins whose peptides completely matched immunoglobulin sequences were excluded from this protein list. We also compared the results of using two high-end MS instruments as well as the use of various peptide and protein separation approaches. Furthermore, we characterized the plasma proteins using cellular localization information, as well as comparing our list of proteins to data from other sources, including the HUPO PPP dataset. Conclusion Superior instrumentation combined with rigorous validation criteria gave rise to a set of 697 plasma proteins in which we have very high confidence, demonstrated by an exceptionally low false peptide identification rate of 0.29%.

Abstract
We have compiled from literature and other sources a list of 1261 proteins believed to be differentially expressed in human cancer. These proteins, only some of which have been detected in plasma to date, represent a population of candidate plasma biomarkers that could be useful in early cancer detection and monitoring given sufficiently sensitive specific assays. We have begun to prioritize these markers for future validation by frequency of literature citations, both total and as a function of time. The candidates include proteins involved in oncogenesis, angiogenesis, development, differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, hematopoiesis, immune and hormonal responses, cell signaling, nucleotide function, hydrolysis, cellular homing, cell cycle and structure, the acute phase response and hormonal control. Many have been detected in studies of tissue or nuclear components; nevertheless we hypothesize that most if not all should be present in plasma at some level. Of the 1261 candidates only 9 have been approved as "tumor associated antigens" by the FDA. We propose that systematic collection and large-scale validation of candidate biomarkers would fill the gap currently existing between basic research and clinical use of advanced diagnostics.

Abstract
The diagnosis of both primary and recurrent bladder tumors currently relies upon the urine cytology and cystoscopy. Neither of these diagnostic tools is completely accurate. Prognostication of bladder cancer is largely based on pathologic tumor grade and stage. Over the past 2 decades, there is accumulating evidence that like many other cancers, bladder cancer, too, has a distinct molecular signature that separates it from other cancers and normal bladder tissue. Bladder tumors of different grades and stages even possess unique, and specific genotypic and phenotypic characteristics. Although recognition of several of these molecular alterations is possible by analyzing tumor tissue, urine, and serum samples, few if any of these "molecular markers" for bladder cancer are widely used in clinical practice. These markers include some that can be applied during the diagnostic work-up of symptoms (e.g., hematuria), those under surveillance for recurrence of superficial disease and forecasting long-term prognosis, or response to chemotherapy. In this review of molecular markers for bladder cancer, effectiveness of markers in each of these categories that are identifiable in the urine of patients with bladder cancer was examined. Many of the diagnostic markers appear to hold an advantage over urine cytology in terms of sensitivity, especially for the detection of low-grade superficial tumors. However, most markers tend to be less specific than cytology, yielding more false-positives. This result is more commonly observed in patients with concurrent bladder inflammation or other benign bladder conditions. Although there are several candidate markers for assessing prognosis or response to chemotherapy, studies of large patient populations are lacking. Further studies involving larger numbers of patients are required to determine their accuracy and widespread applicability in guiding treatment of bladder cancer.
