Several studies have shown altered levels of plasma anti-CD25 antibodies in patients with malignancy in lung, esophagus and breast. The present study was thus designed to test whether circulating anti-CD25 antibody levels were changed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed in-house to detect plasma IgG antibodies to CD25-derived linear peptide antigens in 122 patients with HCC and 121 control subjects.
Student's t-test showed that plasma anti-CD25 IgG levels were significantly higher in HCC patients than control subjects (t = 4.96, P < 0.001), in which male patients mainly contributed to the increased IgG levels (t = 5.11, P < 0.001). Further analysis showed that plasma anti-CD25 IgG levels were dependent on the stages of HCC although there was no significant correlation between plasma anti-CD25 IgG levels and BCLC stages (r = 0.145, P = 0.110, N = 122); a significant increase in anti-CD25 IgG levels was observed in HCC patients with stages B (t = 4.43, P < 0.001) and C+D (t = 4.89, P < 0.001) as compared with control subjects. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was 0.66 (SE = 0.035, 95% CI 0.60-0.73). The sensitivity of anti-CD25 IgG assay was 12.3% against a specificity of 99.2%.
The present study suggests that circulating anti-CD25 IgG antibodies may have prognostic rather than early diagnostic values for HCC.
多项研究表明,肺癌、食管癌和乳腺癌患者血浆抗CD25抗体水平发生改变。因此,本研究旨在检测肝细胞癌(HCC)患者循环抗CD25抗体水平是否发生变化。
自行开发了一种酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA),用于检测122例HCC患者和121例对照受试者血浆中针对CD25衍生线性肽抗原的IgG抗体。
学生t检验显示,HCC患者血浆抗CD25 IgG水平显著高于对照受试者(t = 4.96,P < 0.001),其中男性患者的IgG水平升高起主要作用(t = 5.11,P < 0.001)。进一步分析表明,尽管血浆抗CD25 IgG水平与BCLC分期之间无显著相关性(r = 0.145,P = 0.110,N = 122),但血浆抗CD25 IgG水平取决于HCC的分期;与对照受试者相比,B期(t = 4.43,P < 0.001)和C + D期(t = 4.89,P < 0.001)的HCC患者抗CD25 IgG水平显著升高。受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析显示,ROC曲线下面积(AUC)为0.66(SE = 0.035,95% CI 0.60 - 0.73)。抗CD25 IgG检测的灵敏度为12.3%,特异性为99.2%。
本研究表明,循环抗CD25 IgG抗体对HCC可能具有预后价值而非早期诊断价值。
