The aim of this study is to validate and investigate the clinical value of urinary enolase I in patients with endometriosis.
Urine samples of 39 patients with histologically confirmed endometriosis and 20 patients without endometriosis were collected. Western blot analysis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect the increase of enolase I in patients' urine.
Urinary enolase I expression corrected for creatinine ratio (non neuronal enolase (NNE)-Cr) was significantly greater in patients with endometriosis (p = 0.026). When the diagnostic performance of NNE-Cr was evaluated with serum CA-125 combination, the area under the curve was 0.821 (95% confidence interval 0.713-0.928) with sensitivity and specificity of 76.9% and 85.0%, respectively.
Elevated urinary enolase I, in conjunction with serum CA-125, may be used as a potential biomarker for endometriosis.
本研究旨在验证并探讨尿烯醇化酶 I 在子宫内膜异位症患者中的临床价值。
收集 39 例经组织学证实的子宫内膜异位症患者和 20 例无子宫内膜异位症患者的尿液样本。采用 Western blot 分析和酶联免疫吸附试验检测患者尿液中烯醇化酶 I 的增加。
子宫内膜异位症患者尿烯醇化酶 I 表达经肌酐校正的比值(非神经元烯醇化酶(NNE)-Cr)显著升高(p=0.026)。当结合血清 CA-125 评估 NNE-Cr 的诊断性能时,曲线下面积为 0.821(95%置信区间 0.713-0.928),灵敏度和特异性分别为 76.9%和 85.0%。
尿烯醇化酶 I 升高,结合血清 CA-125,可作为子宫内膜异位症的潜在生物标志物。
