Serum anti‑KIAA0513 antibody as a common biomarker for mortal atherosclerotic and cancerous diseases. MEDICINE INTERNATIONAL 2024; 4:45.

Abstract
Numerous antibody biomarkers have been reported for cancer and atherosclerosis-related diseases. The major complications of atherosclerosis and diabetes mellitus (DM) are acute ischemic stroke (AIS), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cancer development is accompanied by arterial disorders, such as angiogenesis and atherosclerosis, and DM is a risk factor for the development of certain types of cancer. Atherosclerosis-related diseases and cancers are therefore interrelated and could be detected using a common biomarker. In the present study, the initial screening using the protein array method identified KIAA0513 as an antigen recognized by serum IgG antibodies in patients with atherosclerosis. The amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay revealed significantly higher serum antibody levels against recombinant KIAA0513 protein in patients with AIS, transient ischemic attack (TIA), DM, CVD, obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), CKD and solid cancers, such as esophageal, gastric, colon, lung and breast cancers, compared with healthy donors. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed that the highest areas under the ROC curves of anti-KIAA0513 antibodies were obtained for esophageal cancer, nephrosclerosis-type CKD and DM. Spearman's correlation analysis revealed that serum anti-KIAA0513 antibody levels were associated with maximum intima-media thickness and plaque score, which are indices of atherosclerosis and stenosis. Serum anti-KIAA0513 antibody markers appear to be useful for diagnosing AIS, TIA, DM, CVD, OSAS, CKD and solid cancers, and may reflect common arterial alterations leading to atherosclerotic and cancerous diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autoantibodies develop in autoimmune diseases, cancer, diabetes mellitus (DM), and atherosclerosis-related diseases. However, autoantibody biomarkers have not been successfully examined for diagnosis and therapy. METHODS Serological identification of antigens through recombinant cDNA expression cloning (SEREX) was used for primary screening of antigens. The cDNA product was expressed in bacteria and purified. Amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay (AlphaLISA) was used to evaluate antibody levels in serum samples. RESULTS Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) was recognized as an antigen by serum IgG antibodies in the sera of patients with atherosclerosis. AlphaLISA showed significantly higher serum antibody levels against recombinant PCK1 protein in patients with DM and cardiovascular disease than in healthy donors, but not in those with acute ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack, or obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve for anti-PCK1 antibodies was 0.7024 for DM. The serum anti-PCK1 antibody levels were associated with age, platelet count, and blood pressure. Anti-PCK1-antibody-positive patients showed significantly lower overall survival than the negative patients. CONCLUSIONS Serum anti-PCK1 antibody levels were found to be associated with DM. The anti-PCK1 antibody marker is useful for predicting the overall survival of patients with DM.

Abstract
We previously identified growth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible gene 34 (GADD34) as a marker of ischemic stroke. In the present study, serum levels of anti-GADD34 antibodies were found to be significantly higher in patients with acute ischemic stroke or chronic kidney disease compared to healthy donors. We then examined the biological function of GADD34 by transfection into U2OS human osteosarcoma and U87 human glioblastoma cells. Knockdown of GADD34 by siRNA resulted in enhanced cell proliferation, which was reversed by co-knockdown of MDM2. Luciferase reporter assays revealed that the transactivation ability of p53 enhanced by genotoxic anticancer drugs such as camptothecin and etoposide was further potentiated by enforced expression of GADD34 but attenuated by co-transfection with p53 shRNA expression plasmids. Western blotting demonstrated increased p53 protein levels after treatment with camptothecin, which was also potentiated by GADD34 but suppressed by GADD34 siRNA, ATM siRNA, and ATM inhibitor wortmannin. GADD34 levels also increased in response to treatment with camptothecin or adriamycin, and this increase was attenuated by MDM2 siRNA. Immunoprecipitation with anti-GADD34 antibody followed by Western blotting with anti-MDM2 antibodies indicated ubiquitination of GADD34 is mediated by MDM2. Accordingly, GADD34 may function as a ubiquitination decoy to reduce p53 ubiquitination and increase p53 protein levels. Increased neuronal cell death due to activation of p53 by GADD34 may account for the elevated serum levels of anti-GADD34 antibodies observed in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the world, yet the sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers for CRC diagnosis are insufficient. In the present study, we performed a protein microarray screening method to identify antibody markers for CRC. Inhibitor of growth family 1 (ING1) was identified as a candidate tumor antigen for CRC using protein microarrays (ProtoArray). Subsequent amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant ING1 protein showed that the serum levels of anti-ING1 antibodies were increased not only in patients with CRC but also in those with esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC), breast cancer (BrC), and pancreatic cancer (PC) compared with those of healthy donors (HDs). Antibodies against the ING1 amino acids between 239 and 253 were present at significantly higher levels in patients with CRC than in those with EC, GC, BrC, or PC. Anti-ING1 antibody levels were significantly higher in the patients with CRC at any stages than in the HDs. Immunohistochemical staining revealed higher expression of ING1 protein in CRC cells than in the adjacent normal tissues. In luciferase reporter assays using a CRC cell line, ING1 augmented p53-mediated NOXA promoter activity but attenuated p53-stimulated Bax, p21, and PUMA promoter activities. Consequently, serum anti-ING1 antibodies can be used for sensitive and specific diagnoses of CRC.

Abstract
In addition to pathogenic autoantibodies, polyclonal autoantibodies with unknown physiological roles and pathogenicity are produced in the body. Moreover, serum antibodies against the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) protein, which is integral to cholesterol metabolism, have also been observed. PCSK9 was also reported to be associated with insulin secretion and diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, we aimed to examine the clinical significance of PCSK9 antibodies (PCSK9-Abs) levels. We measured blood PCSK9-Abs and PCSK9 protein levels in 109 healthy donors (HDs) and 274 patients with DM (type 2 DM: 89.8%) using an amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay. Subsequently, patients with DM were followed up (mean: 4.93 years, standard deviation: 2.77 years, maximum: 9.58 years, minimum: 0.07 years) to examine associations between antibody titers and mortality, myocardial infarction, stroke onset, and cancer. The primary endpoint of this study was to examine whether PCSK9-Abs can be a prognostic marker for overall mortality among the patients with diabetes. The secondary endpoint was to examine the relationship between PCSK9-Abs and clinical parameters. Although both PCSK9-Abs and PCSK9 protein levels were significantly higher in the DM group than in the HD group (p < 0.008), PCSK9-Abs and PCSK9 protein levels showed no correlation in either group. Mortality was significantly associated with higher PCSK9-Ab levels, but unrelated to PCSK9 protein levels. After investigating for potential confounding factors, higher PCSK9-Ab levels were still associated with increased mortality among the patients with DM. PCSK9-Abs may be a novel prognostic marker for overall mortality in patients with diabetes, and further studies are warranted to verify its usefulness.

Prognostic and diagnostic significance of preoperative Jumonji domain‑containing 6 antibodies in colorectal cancer. Oncol Lett 2023; 25:127.

Abstract
Jumonji domain-containing 6 (JMJD6) protein has been reported to be upregulated in different cancer cells; however, to the best of our knowledge, no report has analyzed serum anti-JMJD6 antibodies (s-JMJD6-Abs) in patients with cancer. Therefore, the present study evaluated the clinical significance of s-JMJD6-Abs in patients with colorectal cancer. Preoperative serum samples were analyzed from 167 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery between April 2007 and May 2012. The pathological stages were as follows Stage I (n=47), stage II (n=56), stage III (n=49) and stage IV (n=15). In addition, 96 healthy participants were analyzed as controls. s-JMJD6-Abs were analyzed by amplified luminescent proximity homology assay-linked immunosorbent assay. The cutoff value of s-JMJD6-Abs for detecting colorectal cancer was calculated to be 5,720 using the receiver operating characteristic curve. The positive rate of s-JMJD6-Abs was 37% in patients with colorectal cancer (61 of 167), independent of carcinoembryonic antigen or carbohydrate antigen 19-9 and p53-Abs. Clinicopathological factors and prognosis were compared between the s-JMJD6-Abs-positive group and the s-JMJD6-Abs-negative group. The s-JMJD6-Ab-positive status was significantly associated with older age (P=0.03), but was not associated with other clinicopathological variables. Regarding recurrence-free survival, the s-JMJD6-positive status was a significant poor prognostic factor in both univariate (P=0.02) and multivariate (P<0.01) analyses. Similarly, regarding overall survival, the s-JMJD6-Abs-positive status was a significant poor prognostic factor in both univariate (P=0.03) and multivariate (P=0.01) analyses. In conclusion, preoperative s-JMJD6-Abs was positive in 37% of patients with colorectal cancer and may be considered an independent poor prognostic biomarker.

Abstract
Introduction Autoantibodies against inflammatory cytokines may be used for the prevention of atherosclerosis. Preclinical studies consider colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2) as an essential cytokine with a causal relationship to atherosclerosis and cancer. We examined the serum anti-CSF2 antibody levels in patients with atherosclerosis or solid cancer. Methods We measured the serum anti-CSF2 antibody levels via amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay based on the recognition of recombinant glutathione S-transferase-fused CSF2 protein or a CSF2-derived peptide as the antigen. Results The serum anti-CSF2 antibody (s-CSF2-Ab) levels were significantly higher in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), diabetes mellitus (DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) compared with healthy donors (HDs). In addition, the s-CSF2-Ab levels were associated with intima-media thickness and hypertension. The analyzes of samples obtained from a Japan Public Health Center-based prospective study suggested the utility of s-CSF2-Ab as a risk factor for AIS. Furthermore, the s-CSF2-Ab levels were higher in patients with esophageal, colorectal, gastric, and lung cancer than in HDs but not in those with mammary cancer. In addition, the s-CSF2-Ab levels were associated with unfavorable postoperative prognosis in colorectal cancer (CRC). In CRC, the s-CSF2-Ab levels were more closely associated with poor prognosis in patients with p53-Ab-negative CRC despite the lack of significant association of the anti-p53 antibody (p53-Ab) levels with the overall survival. Conclusion S-CSF2-Ab was useful for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis-related AIS, AMI, DM, and CKD and could discriminate poor prognosis, especially in p53-Ab-negative CRC.

Abstract
Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are known to play a crucial role in the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). In this study, we aim to explore the function of oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)-induced macrophage-derived exosomal circ_100696 in AS.THP-1 macrophages were induced by ox-LDL to mimic AS cell model. A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay was applied to determine the expression of circ_100696, microRNA-503-5p (miR-503-5p), and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA). The morphology and size distribution of exosomes were examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA). Western blot assay was performed for protein levels. Cell proliferation was assessed using 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay. Flow cytometry analysis was performed to analyze the cell cycle. Wound-healing assay and transwell assay were done to examine cell migration. RNA pull-down assay, dual-luciferase reporter assay, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) assay were employed to analyze the relationship among circ_100696, miR-503-5p, and PAPPA.Circ_100696 level was increased in ox-LDL-induced THP-1 macrophages and ox-LDL-treated THP-1 macrophage-derived exosomes (OM-Exo). OM-Exo promoted the proliferation, cell cycle, and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Circ_100696 was upregulated in VSMCs cocultured with OM-Exo. Circ_100696 knockdown reversed the effects of OM-Exo on VSMC proliferation and migration. Circ_100696 was demonstrated to function as the sponge for miR-503-5p, and miR-503-5p directly targeted PAPPA. Circ_100696 overexpression facilitated VSMC proliferation and migration, with miR-503-5p upregulation or PAPPA silencing reversing these effects. Moreover, circ_100696 overexpression promoted PAPPA expression by targeting miR-503-5p.OM-Exo promoted VSMC growth and migration by regulating the circ_100696/miR-503-5p/PAPPA axis, thereby promoting AS progression.

Abstract
Autoantibodies can be used in the early diagnosis and treatment of atherosclerosis-related diseases. Using ProtoArray® screening of samples from patients with atherosclerosis, the present study identified thiosulfate sulfurtransferase-like domain-containing 2 (TSTD2) as a novel atherosclerosis antigen. The serum TSTD2 antibody levels were then quantified using an amplified luminescent proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay. This demonstrated the levels of TSTD2 antibodies (TSTD2-Abs) to be significantly higher in patients with acute cerebral infarction or chronic kidney disease than in healthy donors. The TSTD2-Ab levels were also found to be higher in males, older adults, smokers, in those who consumed alcohol regularly, and in those with hypertension. Furthermore, Spearman's rank correlation analysis revealed TSTD2-Ab levels to be strongly associated with measures of atherosclerosis severity, including plaque scores, intima-media thickness of the carotid artery and the cardio-ankle vascular index. Thus, TSTD2-Abs may thus be a promising novel biomarker for atherosclerosis-related cerebral infarction and kidney disease.

Front Oncol 2022; 12:870086.

Abstract
Atherosclerosis (AS) and cancers are major global causes of mortality and morbidity. They also share common modifiable pathogenesis risk factors. As the same strategies used to predict AS could also detect certain cancers, we sought novel serum antibody biomarkers of cancers in atherosclerotic sera sampled by liquid biopsy. Using serological antigen identification by cDNA expression cloning (SEREX) and western blot, we screened and detected the antigens BRCA1-Associated ATM Activator 1 (BRAT1) and WD Repeat Domain 1 (WDR1) in the sera of patients with transient ischemic attacks (TIA). Amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay (AlphaLISA) established the upregulation of serum BRAT1 antibody (BRAT1-Abs) and WDR1 antibody (WDR1-Abs) in patients with AS-related diseases compared with healthy subjects. ROC and Spearman’s correlation analyses showed that BRAT1-Abs and WDR1-Abs could detect AS-related diseases. Thus, serum BRAT1-Abs and WDR1-Abs are potential AS biomarkers. We used online databases and AlphaLISA detection to compare relative antigen and serum antibody expression and found high BRAT1 and BRAT1-Abs expression in patients with GI cancers. Significant increases (> 0.6) in the AUC for BRAT1-Ab vs. esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), gastric cancer, and colorectal cancer suggested that BRAT1-Ab exhibited better predictive potential for GI cancers than WDR1-Ab. There was no significant difference in overall survival (OS) between BRAT1-Ab groups (P = 0.12). Nevertheless, a log-rank test disclosed that the highest serum BRAT1-Ab levels were associated with poor ESCC prognosis at 5–60 weeks post-surgery. We validated the foregoing conclusions by comparing serum BRAT1-Ab and WDR1-Ab levels based on the clinicopathological characteristics of the patients with ESCC. Multiple statistical approaches established a correlation between serum BRAT1-Ab levels and platelet counts. BRAT1-Ab upregulation may enable early detection of AS and GI cancers and facilitate the delay of disease progression. Thus, BRAT1-Ab is a potential antibody biomarker for the diagnosis of AS and GI cancers and strongly supports the routine clinical application of liquid biopsy in chronic disease detection and diagnosis.

Abstract
Adaptin proteins (APs) play a crucial role in intracellular cell trafficking. The 'classical' role of APs is carried out by AP1‒3, which bind to clathrin, cargo, and accessory proteins. Accordingly, AP1-3 are crucial for both vesicle formation and sorting. All APs consist of four subunits that are indispensable for their functions. In fact, based on studies using cells, model organism knockdown/knock-out, and human variants, each subunit plays crucial roles and contributes to the specificity of each AP. These studies also revealed that the sorting and intracellular trafficking function of AP can exert varying effects on pathology by controlling features such as cell development, signal transduction related to the apoptosis and proliferation pathways in cancer cells, organelle integrity, receptor presentation, and viral infection. Although the roles and functions of AP1‒3 are relatively well studied, the functions of the less abundant and more recently identified APs, AP4 and AP5, are still to be investigated. Further studies on these APs may enable a better understanding and targeting of specific diseases.APs known or suggested locations and functions.
