简介:Objective:Hepatocellularcarcinoma(HCC)isaleadingcauseofcancer-relateddeaths.NovelserumbiomarkersarerequiredtoincreasethesensitivityandspecificityofserumscreeningforearlyHCCdiagnosis.ThisstudyemployedaquantitativeproteomicstrategytoanalyzethedifferentialexpressionofserumglycoproteinsbetweenHCCandnormalcontrolserumsamples.Methods:Lectinaffinitychromatography(LAC)wasusedtoenrichglycoproteinsfromtheserumsamples.Quantitativemassspectrometricanalysiscombinedwithstableisotopedimethyllabelingand2Dliquidchromatography(LC)separationswereperformedtoexaminethedifferentiallevelsofthedetectedproteinsbetweenHCCandcontrolserumsamples.Westernblotwasusedtoanalyzethedifferentialexpressionlevelsofthethreeserumproteins.Results:Atotalof2,280proteingroupswereidentifiedintheserumsamplesfromHCCpatientsbyusingthe2DLC-MS/MSmethod.Upto36proteinswereup-regulatedintheHCCserum,whereas19proteinsweredown-regulated.Threedifferentialglycoproteins,namely,fibrinogengammachain(FGG),FOS-likeantigen2(FOSL2),andα-1,6-mannosylglycoprotein6-β-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferaseB(MGAT5B)werevalidatedbyWesternblot.Allthesethreeproteinswereup-regulatedintheHCCserumsamples.Conclusion:AquantitativeglycoproteomicmethodwasestablishedandprovenusefultodeterminepotentialnovelbiomarkersforHCC.

简介:Objective:MicroRNA-21(miR-21)hasbeenshowntobeakeyregulatorofcarcinogenesis.TherewerefewreportsaboutthecomparisonofserummiR-21withconventionaltumormarkers.ThisstudyaimedtoexplorethediagnosticvalueofcirculatingmiR-21asatumormarkerinbreastcancer(BC)andcompareitwithCA153andcarcinoembryonicantigen(CEA).Methods:CirculatingmiR-16andmiR-21wereamplifiedandquantitativelydetectedbyreal-timePCRin89BCpatientsand55healthycontrols.ThelevelsofCA153andCEAweremeasuredthroughelectrochemiluminescenceassays.ThenthesensitivityindiagnosisofBCwascomparedamongmiR-21,CA153andCEA.Results:ThelevelofserummiR-21wassignificantlyhigherinBCpatientsthancontrols(P<0.001).ThesensitivityandspecificityofmiR-21were87.6%and87.3%,respectively,whereasthesensitivitiesofCEAandCA153wereonly22.47%and15.73%.Conclusions:ComparedwithCEAandCA153,serummiR-21hasahighersensitivityindiagnosisofBC.AlthoughnotcorrelatedwiththestatusofER,PRandclinicalstages,serummiR-21maybeapotentialdiagnosticindicatorforBC,especiallyfortheearlystage.
