Changes in the expression of serum markers CA242, CA199, CA125, CEA, TNF-α and TSGF after cryosurgery in pancreatic cancer patients

The presence of serum tumor markers, carbohydrate antigen 242 (CA242), carbohydrate antigen 199 (CA199), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), tumor-supplied group of factors (TSGF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), is closely associated with invasion and metastasis of many malignancies. The expression of these markers were measured in serum taken from 37 pancreatic cancer patients prior to treatment. Levels of CA242, CA199, CA125, CEA and TNF-α expression correlated with tumor size, clinical stage, tumor differentiation, lymph node and liver metastasis (P < 0.05). One month after cryosurgery, serum levels of these markers were significantly reduced compared with levels prior to cryosurgery (P < 0.05), whereas there was no significant difference was found between serum levels before and after chemotherapy (P > 0.05). Thus, cryosurgery is more effective than chemotherapy for decreasing CA242, CA199, CA125, CEA, TSGF and TNF-α serum levels in these patients.     

Correlation between serum CA724 and gastric cancer: multiple analyses based on Chinese population

Serum tumor biomarker carbohydrate antigen 724 (CA724) is noticeable for gastric cancer. Correlation between CA724 and gastric cancer was investigated based on Chinese population. Chinese Biomedical Database, Chinese Journal Full-text Database and PubMed were searched. Gastric cancer patients were proven by biopsy, and control included health volunteers or benign gastric diseases. Participants received at least one test of CA724, CA125, CA153, CA199, CA242 or CEA. Meta-analysis, summary ROC (SROC) and post hoc analysis were performed by RevMan 5.0 and SPSS 11.5. Totally, 33 eligible studies were analyzed. Meta-analysis showed CA724 had the highest odds ratio 32.86 compared to control, orderly followed by CA242, CA199, CEA, CA125 and CA153. Accumulated accuracy rate of CA724 was 77 %, superior to others. In SROC analysis, specificity of all studies was above 0.70, but sensitivity of few studies was above 0.70; CA724 was selected as the preferable single test, followed by CA242, CA199, CEA, CA125 and CA153. If threshold of both specificity and sensitivity up to 0.70, CA153 was unacceptable; if up to 0.80, only CA724 and CA242 were considerable. In CA724-combined patterns, CA724+CEA+CA199 combination performed best by increasing sensitivity to 0.74 without impairing specificity, while CA724 + CA199 pattern was not a proper combination. CA724 was the most correlative serum tumor biomarker for gastric cancer in Chinese population. Sensitivity of serum CA724 is limited, but CA724+CEA+CA199 combination is considerable to improve sensitivity without impairing specificity.

Are biomarkers correlated with recurrence patterns in patients with resectable gastric adenocarcinoma

The aims of this study are to analyze the failure patterns in radical resected gastric adenocarcinoma, and to evaluate the correlation between recurrence patterns and potentially prognostic factors, including clinical pathological characteristic and biomarkers. Between Jan 2004 and Jun 2006, 84 patients were enrolled into the database analysis, including 8 with clinical stage I, 20 with clinical stage II, 21 with clinical stage IIIA, 22 with clinical stage IIIB and 13 with clinical stage IV, male 61 and female 23. The collected biomarkers including: preoperative tumor markers: CEA, AFP, CA199, CA50, CA72-4 and CA24-2; postoperative immunohistochemical (IHC) markers: Bax, Bcl-2, P27, CyclinD1, TOPO2, MDR, GST-π, Ki67, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), P21, P53, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), C-myc and Neu. Three-year local control rate (LCR), disease-free survival (DFS) and over-all survival (OS) were 66, 61 and 64% respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed cyclinD1 and CEA were correlated with prognosis; cyclinD1, CEA were correlated with loco-regional recurrence; PCNA was correlated with remote metastasis; bcl-2, ki67, c-myc2 and Neu were correlated with lymph node metastasis. The present study indicate that patterns of recurrence are variable and may be associated with specific biomarkers, in addition, high level of CEA and low-expressed of cyclinD1 resulted in poor prognosis.

Preoperative Monocyte-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in Peripheral Blood Predicts Stages,Metastasis, and Histological Grades in Patients with Ovarian Cancer

PURPOSE: The monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) has been shown to be associated with the prognosis of various solid tumors. This study sought to evaluate the important value of the MLR in ovarian cancer patients. METHODS: A total of 133 ovarian cancer patients and 43 normal controls were retrospectively reviewed. The patients'' demographics were analyzed along with clinical and pathologic data. The counts of peripheral neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and platelets were collected and used to calculate the MLR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR). and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR). The optimal cutoff value of the MLR was determined by using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. We compared the MLR, NLR, and PLR between ovarian cancer and normal control patients and among patients with different stages and different grades, as well as between patients with lymph node metastasis and non–lymph node metastasis. We then investigated the value of the MLR in predicting the stage, grade, and lymph node positivity by using logistic regression. The impact of the MLR on overall survival (OS) was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by log-rank test. RESULTS: Statistically significant differences in the MLR were observed between ovarian cancer patients and normal controls. However, no difference was found for the NLR and PLR. Highly significant differences in the MLR were found among patients with different stages (stage I-II and stage III-IV), grades (G1 and >G1), and lymph node metastasis status. The MLR was a significant and independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis, as determined by logistic regression. The optimal cutoff value of the MLR was 0.23. We also classified the data according to tumor markers (CA125, CA199, HE4, AFP, and CEA) and conventional coagulation parameters (International Normalized Ratio [INR] and fibrinogen). Highly significant differences in CA125, CA199, HE4, INR, fibrinogen levels, and lactate dehydrogenase were found between the low-MLR group (MLR ≤ 0.23) and the high-MLR group (MLR > 0.23). Correspondingly, dramatic differences were observed between the two groups in OS. CONCLUSION: Our results show that the peripheral blood MLR before surgery could be a significant predictor of advanced stages, advanced pathologic grades, and positive lymphatic metastasis in ovarian cancer patients.

Prognostic value of serum and tumor tissue CA 72-4 content in gastric cancer

To date no general agreement has been reached regarding the prognostic significance of CEA, CA 19-9 and CA 72-4 as serum markers in gastric cancer, and only scattered information is available on the predictive value of marker expression in tumor tissue. Therefore, a longitudinal study was designed to analyze the presurgical serum and tumor tissue content of CA 72-4, CEA and CA 19-9 in 166 patients at different stages of gastric cancer, and to evaluate the possible correlation with clinicopathological features in respect to prognostic information on relapse-free survival. The results obtained showed that 48.4% of patients with tumor recurrence had positive presurgical CA 72-4 levels compared to approximately 24% of patients who remained free of disease. Furthermore, the median presurgical serum CA 72-4 levels were significantly elevated in relapsing patients. Serosa and lymph node involvement as well as positive presurgical serum CA 72-4 levels had independent prognostic value in predicting recurrence. A significant association between disease-free survival and lymph node involvement, depth of invasion and tumor tissue content of CA 72-4 was also demonstrated. We may therefore conclude that CA 72-4 antigen can be considered the marker of choice in the follow-up of gastric cancer patients and may be used as a prognostic indicator of relapse.

The Expression of TMPRSS4 and Erk1 Correlates with Metastasis and Poor Prognosis in Chinese Patients with Gastric Cancer

Purpose

The present study investigated the clinical significance of transmembrane protease, serine 4(TMPRSS4) and extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 (Erk1) in the development, progression and metastasis of gastric cancer.

Methods

Immunohistochemistry was employed to analyze TMPRSS4 and Erk1 expression in 436 gastric cancer cases and 92 non-cancerous human gastric tissues.

Results

Protein levels of TMPRSS4 and Erk1 were up-regulated in gastric cancer lesions compared with adjacent noncancerous tissues. High expression of TMPRSS4 correlated with age, size, Lauren’s classification, depth of invasion, lymph node and distant metastases, regional lymph node stage and TNM stage, and also with expression of Erk1. In stages I, II and III, the 5-year survival rate of patients with high TMPRSS4 expression was significantly lower than in patients with low expression. Further multivariate analysis suggests that up-regulation of TMPRSS4 and Erk1 were independent prognostic indicators for the disease, along with depth of invasion, lymph node and distant metastasis and TNM stage.

Conclusions

Expression of TMPRSS4 in gastric cancer is significantly associated with lymph node and distant metastasis, high Erk1 expression, and poor prognosis. TMPRSS4 and Erk1 proteins could be useful markers to predict tumor progression and prognosis of gastric cancer.     

多层CT灌注成像参数与胃癌患者病理分化程度和血清CEA、AFP、CA72-4的关系研究

目的:探讨多层CT灌注成像参数与胃癌患者病理分化程度和血清癌胚抗原(CEA)、甲胎蛋白(AFP)、糖抗原72-4(CA72-4)的关系。方法:选取2016年5月到2018年5月期间在我院接受治疗的胃癌患者60例作为胃癌组,根据患者肿瘤细胞不同病理分化程度将患者分成中高分化组(34例)和低分化组(26例),另选取同期于我院进行健康检查的60例健康志愿者作为对照组。比较不同病理分化程度的胃癌患者多层CT灌注成像参数[血流量(BF)、达峰时间(TTP)、Patlak血容量(PBV)、Patlak表面通透性(PPS)],比较胃癌组和对照组血清CEA、AFP、CA72-4水平,分析胃癌患者多层CT灌注成像参数与血清肿瘤标志物的相关性。结果:胃癌组血清CEA、AFP、CA72-4水平明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05)。中高分化组PBV、PPS均明显低于低分化组,TTP明显高于低分化组,差异有统计学意义(P0.05),中高分化组和低分化组的BF比较差异无统计学意义(P0.05)。经Pearson法分析显示,胃癌患者的BF、TTP、PBV与CEA、AFP、CA72-4无明显的相关性(P0.05),PPS与CEA、AFP、CA72-4呈正相关(P0.05)。结论:胃癌患者的多层CT灌注成像参数与患者的病理分化程度有关,且部分参数还与血清肿瘤标志物CEA、AFP、CA72-4呈正相关。     

乳腺癌改良根治术患者术后复发转移的危险因素及血清CA125、COX-2、sTNFR-P55的预测价值研究

摘要 目的：探讨乳腺癌改良根治术患者术后复发转移的危险因素及血清糖类抗原125（CA125）、环加氧酶-2（COX-2）、可溶性肿瘤坏死因子受体P55（sTNFR-P55）的预测价值。方法：对2014年1月至2016年12月新疆医科大学第一附属医院收治的109例行乳腺癌改良根治术的乳腺癌患者进行前瞻性研究,所有患者术后均随访5年,其中2例失访,107例完成随访。根据5年内患者复发转移情况将其分为复发转移组（n=31）和未复发转移组（n=76）。收集患者入院时的临床病理资料,采用电化学发光法检测术前血清CA125,采用酶联免疫吸附法检测术前血清COX-2、sTNFR-P55。采用logistic回归模型分析患者术后复发转移的影响因素,绘制受试者工作特征（ROC）曲线评估血清CA125、COX-2、sTNFR-P55对术后复发转移的预测价值。结果：复发转移组肿瘤直径＞5 cm、浸润性非特殊癌、脉管癌栓、雌激素受体（ER）/孕激素受体（PR）阴性、无内分泌治疗构成比、TNM分期IIIA期、腋窝淋巴结转移数量4~9个构成比高于未复发转移组（P<0.05）。复发转移组血清CA125、COX-2、sTNFR-P55水平高于未复发转移组（P<0.05）。多因素logistic回归分析结果显示,肿瘤直径＞5 cm、浸润性非特殊癌、TNM分期IIIA期、脉管癌栓、腋窝淋巴结转移数量4~9个、CA125升高、COX-2升高、sTNFR-P55升高是乳腺癌改良根治术患者术后5年内复发转移的独立危险因素（OR=1.318、1.213、1.223、1.137、1.257、1.241、1.313、1.351,P<0.05）。血清CA125、COX-2、sTNFR-P55均可有效预测乳腺癌术后复发转移,曲线下面积（AUC）分别为0.803、0.749、0.761,三指标联合预测术后复发转移的AUC为0.915,灵敏度和特异度分别为0.94、0.83。结论：肿瘤直径、浸润性非特殊癌、TNM分期、脉管癌栓、腋窝淋巴结转移数量以及术前血清CA125、COX-2、sTNFR-P55异常升高是乳腺癌改良根治术患者术后5年内复发转移的危险因素,术前血清CA125、COX-2、sTNFR-P55联合检测可预测乳腺癌改良根治术后的复发转移风险。     

The effects of PTBP3 silencing on the proliferation and differentiation of MKN45 human gastric cancer cells

Aims

PTBP3 overexpression inhibits the differentiation of leukemia cells; however, its effects on the differentiation and proliferation of solid cancer cells remain unclear. Thus, the impact of PTBP3 on the differentiation and proliferation of gastric cancer cells was investigated.

Main methods

PTBP3 expression was analyzed in normal and tumor tissues using immunohistochemistry. A xenograft model was established in nude mice by subcutaneous injection of untransfected human gastric cancer MKN45 cells or those expressing a control vector or PTBP3 siRNA. We analyzed the tumor inhibition rate, the expression of PTBP3, the PCNA-positive rate and the serum levels of CEA, CA199, CA125, LDH, ALP and γ-GT in different groups.

Key findings

The tumor weights in the PTBP3 siRNA group were significantly lower than that of the MKN45 cell control group (P < 0.001). Immunohistochemistry analysis of PCNA expression revealed that it was markedly reduced after PTBP3 silencing. ELISAs showed that the serum levels of CEA and CA199 tumor markers as well as LDH and ALP were reduced after PTBP3 silencing. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that MKN45 cells expressing PTBP3 siRNA had reduced nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio and regular nuclei, suggesting differentiation.

Significance

PTBP3 may promote proliferation and inhibit the differentiation of human gastric cancer MKN45 cells.
