Clinical evaluation of the simultaneous determination of CA 15-3, CA 125 and sHER2 in breast cancer

Objective We investigated serum levels of CA 15-3, sHER2 and CA 125, and their usefulness in the detection of metastatic disease in breast cancer patients.

Methods The levels of CA 15-3, sHER2 and CA 125 tumour markers were determined in 60 patients, 40 with localized and 20 with metastatic breast carcinoma. The control group consisted of 10 healthy women.

Results We found that, at the time of diagnosis, serum levels of all three tumour markers were elevated in patients with distant metastases, but of minute importance in the detection of any breast cancer. When the data for the individual markers were combined the overall sensitivity of metastases detection with all three markers improved. In this regard, 90% of patients with distant metastases had an increase in serum level of at least one of tested tumour markers. Similar results were obtained using receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC). Moreover, using ROC we defined cut-off values for metastasis detection for each of the tested markers.

Conclusion Our findings indicate that measurement of CA 15-3 serum values in conjunction with sHER2 and CA 15-3 can increase sensitivity in metastasis detection.     

Prognostic role of serum cancer antigen 15-3 in breast cancer patients with isolated bone metastases

Objective: To investigate the association between cancer antigen (CA) 15-3 and clinicopathological parameters in patients who had breast cancer with isolated bone metastases at the time of diagnosis and to analyse the effect on clinical outcomes.

Methods: Between June 2004 and January 2007, the data of 129 consecutive patients were examined.

Results: Elevated CA 15-3 levels were associated with poor disease-free survival (p?=?0.001) and overall survival (p?=?0.006). In multivariate analysis, serum CA 15-3 level (p?=?0.003) was found to be an independent factor in overall survival.

Conclusion: Elevated CA 15-3 level is a useful parameter for predicting clinical outcomes.

An antibody-lectin sandwich assay for the determination of CA125 antigen in ovarian cancer patients

A two-step forward sandwich assay was developed for the determination of the ovarian tumour associated glycoconjugate antigen CA125 with anti-CA125 Monoclonal antibody B27.1 on the solid phase and¹²⁵I-labelled wheat germ lectin as tracer in the solution phase. This Mab-lectin heterosandwich assay was optimized and the clinical utility was evaluated in sera from healthy volunteers and ovarian cancer patients. A correlation was established between Mab-lectin assay and the dual monoclonal antibody sandwich assay, TRUQUANT®OV2 RIA, that uses the same MAb B27.1 on the solid phase and a second¹²⁵I-labelled B43.13 MAb in the solution phase. A potentially improved clinical utility is suggested for the Mab-lectin assay. The unique format seems to identify novel isoforms of CA125 with different carbohydrate side chains that would otherwise be undetectable in the MAb-MAb sandwich assay wherein the paratopes are likely directed to protein determinants.

Free CA125 promotes ovarian cancer cell migration and tumor metastasis by binding Mesothelin to reduce DKK1 expression and activate the SGK3/FOXO3 pathway

Objective: CA125/MUC16 is an O-glycosylated protein that is expressed on the surfaces of ovarian epithelial cells. This molecule is a widely used tumor-associated marker for diagnosis of ovarian cancer. Recently, CA125 was shown to be involved in ovarian cancer metastasis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of CA125 during ovarian cancer metastasis.Methods: We analyzed the Oncomine and CSIOVDB databases to determine the expression levels of DKK1 in ovarian cancer. DKK1 expression levels were upregulated or downregulated and applied with CA125 to Transwell and Western blot assays to ascertain the underlying mechanism by which CA125 stimulates cell migration via the SGK3/FOXO3 pathway. Anti-mesothelin antibodies (anti-MSLN) were used to block CA125 stimulation. Then the expression levels of DKK1were tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to eliminate the blocking effect of anti-MSLN to CA125 stimulation. Xenograft mouse models were used to detect the effects of CA125 and anti-MSLN on ovarian cancer metastasis in vivo.Results: DKK1 levels were downregulated in ovarian tumor tissues according to the analyses of two databases and significantly correlated with FIGO stage, grade and disease-free survival in ovarian cancer patients. DKK1 levels were downregulated by CA125 stimulation in vitro. Overexpression of DKK1 reversed the ability of exogenous CA125 to mediate cell migration by activating the SGK3/FOXO3 signaling pathway. Anti-MSLN abrogated the DKK1 reduction and increased the apoptosis of ovarian cancer cells. The use of anti-MSLN in xenograft mouse models significantly reduced tumor growth and metastasis accelerated by CA125.Conclusions: These experiments revealed that the SGK3/FOXO3 pathway was activated, wherein decreased expression of DKK1 was caused by CA125, which fuels ovarian cancer cell migration. Mesothelin is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of ovarian cancer metastasis.

Serial determination of CEA and CA 15.3 in breast cancer follow-up: An assessment of their diagnostic accuracy for the detection of tumour recurrences

We studied the diagnostic accuracy of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 15.3 (CA 15.3) in detecting breast cancer recurrence. Biomarker follow-up determinations, made over 900 patients, were related to local–regional or distant recurrence using statistical models for longitudinal data. The diagnostic accuracy was quantified in terms of sensitivity, specificity and Youden index. The biomarkers were poorly predictive of local–regional recurrence. As for distant recurrence, the best diagnostic accuracy was obtained considering the two biomarkers jointly and combining two positivity criteria: a value above the normal limit or a difference between two consecutive measurements greater than the critical difference for at least one biomarker. A third criterion, based on within-patient comparison between follow-up determinations and a baseline, failed to improve the above result. CEA and CA 15.3 might play a role in patient monitoring during follow-up for the search of distant recurrence.
