Abstract: | The early diagnosis of lung cancer is an effective approach to reduce the mortality caused by malignancy. To explore serum biomarkers of lung cancer at early stage, M-BE, a SV40T-transformed human bronchial epithelial cell line with the phenotypic features of early tumorigenesis at high passage, was cultured in the conditioned media to collect its secretory proteins. The proteins secreted from different passage M-BE cells were extracted and then separated by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE). MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry was adopted to identify the passage-dependent 2-DE spots. Totally, 47 proteins were identified, including 23 that were up-regulated and 24 that were down-regulated. Of these proteins, cathepsin D was a typical secretory protein that exhibited the increased abundance either in culture media or in cells during passaging. Furthermore, the proteomic conclusions were validated in the clinical samples of lung cancer patients. When sandwich ELISA was used, the concentrations of cathepsin D in plasma showed significant differences between lung squamous cell carcinomas (SCC, 104 cases) and normal donors (36 cases, p
