Gastric cancer (GC) is characterized by high morbidity, high mortality and low early diagnosis rate. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in radically treating GC. The aim of this study was to identify plasma biomarkers for GC and early GC diagnosis.
We quantified 369 protein levels with plasma samples from discovery cohort (n = 88) and validation cohort (n = 50) via high-throughput proximity extension assay (PEA) utilizing the Olink-Explore-384-Cardiometabolic panel. The multi-protein signatures were derived from LASSO and Ridge regression models.
In the discovery cohort, 13 proteins (GDF15, ITIH3, BOC, DPP7, EGFR, AMY2A, CCDC80, CD163, GPNMB, LTBP2, CTSZ, CCL18 and NECTIN2) were identified to distinguish GC (Stage I-IV) and early GC (HGIN-I) groups from control group with AUC of 0.994 and AUC of 0.998, severally. The validation cohort yielded AUC of 0.930 and AUC of 0.818 for GC and early GC, respectively.
This study identified a multi-protein signature with the potential to benefit clinical GC diagnosis, especially for Asian and early GC patients, which may contribute to the development of a less-invasive, convenient, and efficient early screening tool, promoting early diagnosis and treatment of GC and ultimately improving patient survival.
胃癌(GC)的发病率、死亡率均较高,早期诊断率较低。早期诊断对根治性治疗 GC 至关重要。本研究旨在寻找 GC 和早期 GC 的血浆生物标志物。
我们利用 Olink-Explore-384-Cardiometabolic 面板,通过高通量邻近延伸分析(PEA)对来自发现队列(n=88)和验证队列(n=50)的血浆样本进行了 369 种蛋白质水平的定量分析。多蛋白标志物是通过 LASSO 和 Ridge 回归模型得到的。
在发现队列中,有 13 种蛋白质(GDF15、ITIH3、BOC、DPP7、EGFR、AMY2A、CCDC80、CD163、GPNMB、LTBP2、CTSZ、CCL18 和 NECTIN2)被鉴定为能够区分 GC(I-IV 期)和早期 GC(HGIN-I)与对照组,AUC 分别为 0.994 和 0.998。验证队列的 GC 和早期 GC 的 AUC 分别为 0.930 和 0.818。
本研究鉴定了一个具有潜在临床 GC 诊断价值的多蛋白标志物,特别是对亚洲和早期 GC 患者,这可能有助于开发一种微创、方便、有效的早期筛查工具,促进 GC 的早期诊断和治疗,最终提高患者的生存率。
