Description

Diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung is with protein biomarkers group and utilizes the non-small thin of its Born of the same parents' method of lung cancer diagnosis
Technical field
The present invention relates to Diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung with protein biomarkers group and to utilize its non-small cell lung cancer Diagnostic method, is related to N number of in the biomarker protein matter containing stem cell factor acceptor (KIT) in more detail Protein, for the protein biomarkers group from human diagnostic's non-small cell lung cancer.
Background technology
In the following description, there is provided brief with the relevant information of the application, the multiple information or bibliography provided The prior art of the application is not identified as.
In South Korea or even the whole world, the main reason for lung cancer is still cancer related mortality (Torre LA, Bray F, Siegel RL, Ferlay J, Lortet-Tieulent J, et al. (2015) Global cancer statistics, 2012, CA Cancer J Clin.).2011, South Korea was newly diagnosed to be the lung cancer more than 21753, is estimated to be more than 15000 Name dies of lung cancer (Jung KW, Won YJ, Kong HJ, Oh CM, Lee DH, et al. (2014) Can cer statistics in Korea:Incidence, mortality, survival, and prevalenc e).Although the lung cancer morbidity of developed country Rate is declining with the death rate, but the developing country that smoking rate persistently rises, especially among countries in Asia, lung cancer morbidity rate (Torre LA, Bray F, Siegel RL, Ferlay J, Lortet-Tieulent J, et are being steeply risen with the death rate Al. (2015) Global cancer statistics, 2012, CA Cancer J Clin.).
Since most of people with the early stage of lung cancer are not in symptom, the patient more than 60% can not it is curable into Exhibition is diagnosed (Jemal A, Center MM, DeSantis C, Ward EM (2010) Global patterns of in the stage cancer incidence and mortali ty rates and trends.Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 19:1893-1907;Jett JR(1993)Current Treatment of Unresectable Lung- Cancer.Mayo Clinic Proceedings 68:603-611.).5 years survival rates of Patients with Advanced Lung Cancer are less than 10%, But 5 years survival rates of 1 phase patient can be more than 70% (Hoffman PC, Mau er AM, Vokes EE (2000) Lung cancer.Lancet 355:479-485.).Therefore, the early stage of the so-called lung cancer critically important for the reduction death rate and incidence The research purpose of diagnosis has been converted into the research of pulmonary cancer diagnosis method.
(National Lung Screening Trial (NLS T)) (Aberle is tested in American National screening lung cancer DR, Adams AM, Berg CD, Black WC, Clapp JD, et al. (2011) Reduced lung-cancer mortality with low-dose computed tomographic screening.N Engl J Med 365:395- 409) in, lung is shown using the spiral computerized tomoscan of low dosage (CT, Computed Tomography) (LDCT) diagnosis Cancer related mortality reduces by 20%, but the 24.2% of the spiral computerized tomoscan diagnosis of low dosage is the positive, these tubercles 96.4% for mistaken diagnosis (Aberle DR, Adams AM, Berg CD, Black WC, Clapp JD, et al. (2011), Reduced lung-cancer mortality with low-dose computed tomographic screening.N Engl J Med 365:395-409.;Aberle DR, Abtin F, Brown K (2013) Comput ed Tomography Screening for Lung Cancer:Has It Finally ArrivedImplications of the National Lung Screening Trial.Journal of Clinica l Oncology 31:1002-1008.).Except finding to invade Outside attacking property tumour, in the experiment of American National screening lung cancer, found using the spiral computerized tomoscan of low dosage all Lung cancer among lung cancer more than 18% is seemingly painless, when narration lung cancer as caused by the spiral computerized tomoscan of low dosage During the danger of diagnosis, it is also contemplated that excessive diagnosis (Patz EF, Jr., P insky P, Gatsonis C, Sicks JD, Kramer BS, et al. (2014) Overdiag nosis in low-dose computed tomography screening for lung cancer.J AMA Intern Med 174:269-274).
Therefore, there is sensitivity and specific lung with what is measured in the biological specimen such as serum of non-invasive manner collection Cancer biomarker is possible to contribute to that for high-risk subject, amorphism Lung neoplasm is found particularly by computed tomography Patient make clinical decision.According to the individual serum biomarker for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), mainly to cell Data disclosed in Keratin 19 fragment 21.1 (Cyfra 21-1), carcinomebryonic antigen and tissue peptide antigen show that these biologies are marked Will thing show sensitivity especially to the disease that is only limitted to initial stadium and specificity (Pastor A, Menendez R, Cremades MJ, Pastor V, Llopis R, et al. (1997) Diagnostic value of SCC, CEA and CYFRA 21.1in lung cancer:a Bayesian analysis.European Respiratory Journal 10: 603-609.;Buccheri G, Torchio P, Ferrigno D (2003) Clinical equivalence of two cytokeratin markers in non-small cell lung cancer-A study of tissue polypeptide antigen and cytokeratin 19fragments.Chest 124:622-632.;Lai RS, Hsu HK, Lu JY, Ger LP, Lai NS (1996) C YFRA 21-1enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Evaluation as a tum or marker in non-small cell lung cancer.Chest 109: 995-1000.)。
Due to the development and the understanding of genomics to molecular diagnosis method, it was found that existing diagnosis mark can be made up by having Several lung cancer biomarkers (Hasan N, Kumar R, Kavuru MS (2014) Lung cancer of accurate potentiality screening beyond low-dose compute d tomography:the role of novel biomarkers.Lung 192:639-648.;B igbee WL, Gopalakrishnan V, Weissfeld JL, Wilson DO, Dacic S, et al. (2012) A multiplexed serum biomarker immunoassay panel dis criminates clinical lung cancer patients from high-risk individuals fou nd to be cancer-free by CT screening.J Thorac Oncol 7:698-708.;Daly S, Rinewalt D, Fhied C, Basu S, Mahon B, et al. (2013) D evelopment and validation of a plasma biomarker panel for discernin g clinical significance of indeterminate pulmonary nodules.J Thorac Oncol 8:31-36.;Gold L, Ayers D, Bertino J, Bock C, Bock A, e t al. (2010) Aptamer-based multiplexed proteomic technology for bio marker discovery.PLoS One 5:e15004.;Ostroff RM, Bigbee WL, Franklin W, Gold L, Mehan M, et al. (2010) Unlocking biomarker discovery:large scale application of aptamer proteomic technology fo r early detection of lung cancer.PLoS One 5: e15003.;Pecot CV, Li M, Zhang XJ, Rajanbabu R, Calitri C, et al. (2012) Added val ue of a serum proteomic signature in the diagnostic evaluation of lu ng nodules.Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 21:786-792.).Such as O stroff majority report, They are found that protein biomarkers group (Gold L, Ayers D, Bertino J, Bock for lung cancer early diagnosis C, Bock A, et al. (2010) Aptamer-based multiplexed proteomic technology for biomarker disco very.PLoS One 5:e15004.;Ostroff RM, Bigbee WL, Franklin W, Gold L, Mehan M, et al. (2010) Unlocking biomarker discovery:l arge scale application of aptamer proteomic technology for early dete ction of lung cancer.PLoS One 5:e15003.).
However, the epidemiology of lung cancer is different according to national characteristic or provincialism background with molecular biology, And not yet realize the exploitation of protein biomarkers or the integration with Computed tomography model.
Aptamer (aptamer) is a kind of new bio molecule (bio-molecule), is screened in large-scale oligonucleotides (oligo) storehouse.Operated by the aglucon phyletic evolution technology (SELEX) of a series of index concentration, to extend particular ligand (ligand) subject nucleic acid aptamer and finally select.Aptamer is can chemically be synthesized and in order to which a variety of purposes are easy to The single-chain nucleic acid of deformation.Also, aptamer can be by PCR (polymerase chain r eaction) Method is expanded and analyzed, and is applicable in high power capacity DNA (DN A) array technique.

The example of use of biomarker
In various exemplary embodiment, there is provided following is used for from the side of the mankind (individual) diagnosing non-small cell lung cancer Method:By including any number of analysis method of one in multiple analysis methods described in the invention, to detect quite One or one of biomarker of such as serum or blood plasma more than it in the circulatory system for being present in individual or its Biomarker values above.That is, compared with the mankind without non-small cell lung cancer, these biomarkers can be from Expressed to mankind's otherness with non-small cell lung cancer.The differential expression for finding biomarker from individual can be used for Following situation:For example, between the early diagnosing of non-small cell lung cancer, positive Lung neoplasm and malign lung nodules differentiation (for example, from The tubercle that computed tomography Imaging Study arrives), the observation of non-small cell lung cancer recurrence or the observation of other clinical symptoms.
Biomarker described in the present invention can be used for various clinical non-small cell lung cancer sign, and including following feelings Condition:(in excessive risk individual or group) finds non-small cell lung cancer;That is, pass through non-small cell lung cancer and cellule type The difference (or simplifying tissue case) of the difference of lung cancer and/or gland cancer and squamous cell carcinoma, the characteristic of non-small cell lung cancer Provide (for example, non-small cell lung cancer type, hypotype, or stage determine);It is positive nodule or pernicious lung cancer to determine Lung neoplasm; The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer determines;Observe progress or the improvement of non-small cell lung cancer;Observe non-small cell lung cancer recurrence;Transfer Observation;Treatment method is selected;Observe the reaction to therapeutic agent or other treatment method;Pass through the trouble of computed tomography inspection Person's classification (for example, non-small cell lung cancer risk is higher, thus can be checked with the computed tomography of recognition helix shape the most by The mankind of benefit, so that the positive prediction degree increase of computed tomography);With smoking history etc. and the knot of nodule size Conjunction, biomarker test and the combination of extra biomedical information (such as, there is provided with individually implementing computed tomography The situation of test or biomarker test is compared, the analysis experiment that diagnosis performance is improved);So that Lung neoplasm pernicious or The diagnosis of positive aspect is simplified;Once Lung neoplasm is observed in computed tomography, so that it may make determining for clinician Simplify (for example, as independent of tubercle size and according to situation of the test of biomarker for feminine gender, when being judged as tying When the risk of section is low, order is repeated computed tomography inspection, or such as independent of tubercle size and according to biology The test of marker is the same for positive situation, when the risk for being judged as tubercle is high, considers biopsy);And make For (for example, in computed tomography observe non-calcified tubercle after, be repeated computed tomography inspection, Eminectomy, or open chest surgery) Clinical Follow-up doctor determine simplify.With only implementing the computerized tomography to excessive risk individual The situation of scanning or chest x-ray is compared, and biomarker test can improve positive prediction degree.Described life in the present invention Thing marker not only has serviceability in the case where being used together with computed tomography inspection, also with chest x-ray, branch Tracheoscopy, fluorescence bronchoscope inspection, Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or positron e mission computed tomography (PET) detect together, and can be connected with other imaging modalities for non-small cell lung cancer to use.Also, by image Mode or other clinically relevant key elements are come before being found the sign of non-small cell lung cancer, or before symptom shows, in order to Special-purpose in this purposes and usefully use biomarker as described above.Herein, further include with by meter Calculation machine tomoscan inspection or other imaging modalities come the individual difference of the amorphism Lung neoplasm observed, for non-small thin The discriminating of the excessive risk smoker of born of the same parents' lung cancer and the individual diagnosis with non-small cell lung cancer.
On in terms of the diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, as the method that biomarker described in the invention can be used An example, from do not know whether one of individual biomarker as described above with non-small cell lung cancer or its more than Differential expression can represent that its individual has non-small cell lung cancer, thus, at treatment maximally efficient initial stage, perhaps by it His means find non-small cell lung cancer or can find non-small cell lung cancer before the appearance of the symptom of non-small cell lung cancer.Non- In Small Cell Lung Cancer progression, the excessive expression of one or the biomarker more than it is possible to represent non-small cell lung cancer Progress, for example, the growth and/or transfer (therefore, prognosis is bad) of the tumour of non-small cell lung cancer, on the other hand, one or its More than biomarker otherness expression degree reduction (that is, subsequent bio marker test in, individual patients court To or close to " normal " expression situation) can represent for non-small cell lung cancer have improve, for example, non-small cell lung cancer The size of tumour diminishing (therefore, prognosis bona or better).In the same manner, in the therapeutic process of non-small cell lung cancer In, the increase of the expression degree of the otherness of one or the biomarker more than it (that is, is tested in subsequent bio marker In, individual patients are away from the situation of " normal " expression) can represent non-small cell lung cancer be able to be in progress and therapeutic effect not It is good, conversely, in the therapeutic process of non-small cell lung cancer, the expression degree of the otherness of one or the biomarker more than it Reduction can represent with for non-small cell lung cancer improvement and treatment be successful.And, hence it is evident that cure non-small cell After lung cancer, the expression degree of the otherness of one or the biomarker more than it, which increases or decreases, from individual can represent non- The recurrence of Small Cell Lung Cancer.In this case, with non-small cell lung cancer find again compared with late situation, above-mentioned Body can re-start treatment in the diseased stage earlier (also, in the case where patient is persistently treated, increases the dosage of medicine And/or frequency etc., treatment method can be changed).And then by occurring different one or the biology mark more than it according to individual The expression of will thing, it is contemplated that to the above-mentioned individual reaction to particular therapeutic agent.Observation non-small cell lung cancer recurrence or In the case of progress, the change of the expression of biomarker can be represented that is, in order to determine that non-small cell lung cancer is lived Property degree crystallization or treatment method change necessity, it is necessary to image check (for example, computed tomography inspection) repeatedly.
The detection of biomarker described in the invention include treatment method success evaluation or treatment after it is non-small thin The elimination of born of the same parents' lung cancer, recurrence and/or the observation of progress (including transfer), after Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung or non-small cell lung cancer Therapeutic process is connected, especially more useful.Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung method is included for example, to individual treatment agent prescription, operation (example Such as, cut with surgery non-small cell lung tumor at least a portion or excision non-small cell lung cancer and perienchyma), put Beta ray therapy or used other kinds of Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung method, and the group of these cures in this field Close.In the treatment method of lung cancer, including for example, giving individual patients prescribed treatment agent, operation (for example, cut with surgery At least a portion of lung neoplasm), other kinds of Treatment for Non-small Cell Lung side used in radiation cure or the field Method, and the combination of these treatment methods.For example, small interference ribonucleic acid (siRNA) molecule is the synthesis of blocking gene expression Double stranded RNA (RNA) molecule, can be used as lung cancer target treatment method.For example, any biological marker in above-mentioned biomarker Thing can be at least detected once after the treatment, or treatment after be detected repeatedly (for example, periodically), treatment before with treatment after It can be detected.From the change of the expression according to the time of the arbitrary biomarker in the above-mentioned biomarker in individual Change to be progress, improvement or the sign of recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer after treatment.In being in progress of above-mentioned non-small cell lung cancer, good Turn or recurrence example in, including:The expression of biomarker compared with pre-treatment, situation about being increased or decreased after treatment; The expression of biomarker is compared with earlier time points after treatment, situation about being increased or decreased on time point later; And a time point goes up the situation different from normal level to the expression of biomarker after the treatment.
As concrete example, to the biomarker water of any biomarker in biomarker described in the present invention It is flat to be carried out after operation consent or operation (for example, 2 weeks to 16 weeks after operation) in serum or plasma sample.With operation consent sample Condition ratio, the horizontal increase of (multiple) biomarker expression in sample after surgery, then this can be non-small cell lung cancer into The sign of exhibition (for example, non-successful property perform the operation), compared with operation consent sample, (multiple) biomarker table in sample after surgery Reduced up to level, then this can be improvement (for example, removing lung neoplasm) sign of non-small cell lung cancer by successful surgery.Such as Also can be with similar before and after the other treatment method execution that radiation cure, therapeutic agent dispensing or cancer vaccine are offerd medicine front and rear etc. Method analysis biomarker level.
Except with single diagnostic test come in addition to carrying out the test of biomarker level, can be with representing the risk to disease Increased single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or other gene lesions or the mobility measure of degree carry out test biology mark in association Thing level (for example, referring to Amos et al., Nature Genetics 40,616-622 (2009)).
Except with single diagnostic test come in addition to carrying out the test of biomarker level, can be with such as computed tomography The radiographic test of inspection together carries out biomarker level test.For example, as there is risk to non-small cell lung cancer Detection of asymptomatic colony (for example, smoker) etc., it is possible to provide appropriate for the therapeutical of computed tomography inspection, economy The property worked as.For example, for as according to biomarker level, identified that risk is high and breaks with computer for non-small cell lung cancer Layer scanography is the individual preferentially carried out, and the test of " before computed tomography " biomarker level can be used in high wind Dangerous individual segregation is the individual for needing to carry out computed tomography inspection.Carrying out the situation of computed tomography test Under, (for example, being analyzed according to the aptamer of serum or plasma sample) can measure the life of one or the biomarker more than it Thing marker levels, it is positive in order to improve compared with the situation for individually implementing computed tomography or biomarker test Premeasure, can will diagnose fraction with extra biomedical information (for example, by computed tomography test Lai determined swollen Knurl media parameters) it is connected and is assessed.For measuring " after computed tomography " aptamer of biomarker level Group, which can be used in, determines that Lung neoplasm is positive or negative what is observed in computed tomography (or other imaging modalities) Possibility.
After the detection of any biomarker can be to computed tomography in biomarker described in the present invention Test useful.For example, compared with individually carrying out the situation of computed tomography, biomarker test can remove or reduce phase When the positive test of the sham of quantity.Also, patient can simply be treated by biomarker test.For example, work as Lung neoplasm Size when being less than 5mm, can be from " check and wait (watch and wait) " in the result that early stage is tested with biomarker The step of status progression of patient to tissue detection.If Lung neoplasm is 5mm to 9mm, tested by biomarker, can need not Cut according to the tissue detection or chest of false positive detection.Also, when Lung neoplasm is more than 10mm, marked by biology Will thing is tested, it is possible to without performing an operation for the individual patients group with positive nodule.It is relevant in the presence of being detected with Nodule tissue Important ill state, has difficulty according to the position of tubercle to obtain Nodule tissue, therefore is tested according to biomarker, from The necessity that some patients remove progress tissue detection is possible to advantageously.In the same manner, such as effectively as the positive of tubercle Situation, some patients need not perform the operation, so as to the relatively unnecessary dangerous and expense that avoids and perform the operation.
Except in excessive risk group with radioactive ray detection in association test biology marker levels (with institute in Image detection It was observed that Lung neoplasm or tumour size, or other characteristics analyze biomarker level in association) outside, biology is marked The information of will thing can from different identical data, especially represent to the data of the individual risk of non-small cell lung cancer (for example, Hazards and/or other lifes whether the clinical history of patient, professional exposes history, symptom, cancer family history, such as smoking State of thing marker etc.) assessed in association.These a variety of data can be with the meter that is performed in computer or other devices Calculation machine program/software together, is analyzed by automatic mode.
Described biomarker can be additionally used in image test.For example, among other purposes, for non-small cell lung Observation, the recurrence observation of cancer diagnosis, progress/improvement or transfer, or the reaction observation to treatment method, make developer (imaging Agent biomarker) is incorporated into, to play the assisted action of Diagnosis of Non-Small Cell Lung.

The commonly used positive electron release radionuclide in positron e mission computed tomography (positron-emitting nuclides) include for example, carbon -11 (carbon-11), nitrogen -13 (nitrogen-13), oxygen - 15 (oxigen-15) and Value linear (fluorine-18).(electron capture) is captured by electronics and/or gamma rays is released The isotopic element put and decayed is used for single photon emission computed tomography, including for example, iodo- 123 and technetium -99m.Profit It is as follows come the exemplary method of labeled amino acid with technetium -99m:In order to form technetium -99m- chemotactic peptide conjugates (technetium-99m-chemotactic peptide conjugate) and change (bifu nctionally Modified) must have the function of the metal combination base of two kinds of Chemotactic Peptide, in order to formed the unstable technetium reacted successively with this- Composite (technetium-99m-precu rsor complex) before 99m-, in the presence of precursor is chelated cross technetium acid from The reduction of sub (pertechnetate ion).
For this diagnostic imaging method in vivo, commonly using antibody.Preparation and use for the antibody of in-vivo diagnostic It is well known in the art.Specifically with listed arbitrary biomarker is combined in table 2 progress The antibody of mark, be able to can examine to according to the particular organisms marker used for the purpose of diagnosing or assessing the morbid state of individual Individual injection of the survey and suspection with what type of cancer (for example, non-small cell lung cancer).As previously noted interior Hold, used mark is according to Image Creation technology to be used and to select.Because of the position of mark, the scope of cancer can be measured. Also, can be by the amount of the mark in organ or tissue, to determine the presence or absence of the cancer in the organ or tissue.
In the same manner, aptamer can be used for this diagnostic imaging method in vivo.It is for example, described in order to specific in table 2 The discriminating of biomarker and used aptamer (therefore, being specifically combined with above-mentioned particular organisms marker) can Suitably it is labeled, can be according to particular organisms marker, Xiang Kejian in order to diagnose or judge the non-small cell lung cancer state of individual The doubtful individual injection with non-small cell lung cancer surveyed.Content as previously noted, used mark can be according to treating The Image Creation technology that uses selects.The scope of cancer is measured by the position of mark.Also, can be by organ or tissue Mark amount, determine the presence or absence of the cancer in the organ or tissue.Compared with other developers, aptamer-derivative Developer (a ptamer-directed imaging agents) can have and tissue intrusion (penetration), tissue point Cloth (distribution), dynamics (kinetics), remove (elimination), efficiency (potency) and susceptibility correlation Intrinsic, favourable characteristic.
In order to for example, the detection of the gene expression by using the Image Creation of anti-sequence (antisense) oligonucleotides, this Kind technology can optionally be implemented using labeled oligonucleotides.This method uses fluorescence molecule for example, as mark Or radionuclide, it is used in situ hybridization (in situ hybridization).Its other party for the detection of gene expression Method is included for example, the detection of indicator (reporter gene) activity.
In addition other conventional image technologies pass through the optics device outside subject for the fluorescence signal inside subject The optical image for having and being detected.The signal can be due to actual fluorescence and/or bioluminescence (bioluminescence).Because of the sensitivity improving of optical detection utensil, the optical imageization for in-vivo diagnostic detection is useful Property is improved.
Such as, it is intended to during for novel cancer, such as more rapidly measure the clinical test of clinical effectiveness and/or multiple Disease the problem of being likely to become moral check using the long-term treatment of placebo of sclerosis (multiple sclerosis) etc. Among disease, for avoiding using clinical trial of long-term treatment of placebo etc., internal Molecular biomarkers shadow The use of pictureization gradually increases.

" cytology agreement (cytology protocol) " generally includes sample collection, sample is fixed, sample immobilization and Dyeing." cell is prepared (cell preparation) " includes one or slow more than it of the dyeing for the cell through preparation The use of the aptamer of dissociation rate, it may include each process after sample collection.
Sample collection may include to be directly placed into sample into undressed shipping container, to filling certain type of culture Sample or any processing are put into the shipping container of liquid or sample (immobilization) is directly placed on loose glass slide.
Sample immobilization (immobilization) is with polylysine (polylysine), gelatin (gelatin) or silicon A part for the sample that the glass slide adhesion that alkane (silane) is handled is collected, so as to be improved.Glass slide can By being prepared in the very thin and flat cellular layer of the region-wide smearing (smear ing) of glass slide.In general, in order to make mechanical change Shape (mechani cal distortion) and dry artifact (drying artifact) minimize and great care.Liquid Sample can be handled by cell block method.Alternatively, alternatively, liquid sample can at normal temperatures by with fixed solution with 1:1 mixing about 10 minutes.
Cell block can be by remaining diffusate (residual effusion), phlegm (sputum), arena (urine Sediment), gastro-intestinal Fluid (gastrointestinal fluid), lung liquid (pulmonary fluid), cell scraper (cell Scraping) or fine needle aspiration generates.Cell has centrifugation or membrane filtration and is concentrated or encapsulates.Exploitation is useful for preparing All multi-methods of cell block.Representational method fixes (fixed sediment), bacteria Agr (b including sediment Acterial agar) or membrane filtering method.In sediment fixing means, cell pellet and such as BouinShi liquid, picric acid After the fixer mixing of (picric acid) or the formalin (buffered forma lin) of buffering etc., above-mentioned mixing Thing is centrifuged to be granulated to the cell of immobilization.Cell is completely dried as much as possible to be granulated and remove supernatant Liquid.Collect after being granulated, be put into after being wrapped up with lens paper (lens paper) in tissue cassette (tissue cassette).Will be above-mentioned Tissue cassette is together put into bottle with additional fixer, is together handled with tissue samples.Agar method (agar method) is very It is similar, but be granulated and be removed, and it is cut into half after being dried on paper handkerchief.The side of excision is put on a glass slide One drop dissolving agar on after, cover agar so that above-mentioned granulation does not produce foam fully in agar.Make above-mentioned fine jade After fat solidification, the agar of arbitrary residual point is packed up.Put it into tissue cassette, then tissue treatment terminates.Alternatively, it is above-mentioned It is granulated at a temperature of 65 DEG C, directly suspends into 2% agar solution, sample is centrifuged.Above-mentioned agar cell is granulated When solidification 1 is small at a temperature of 4 DEG C.Above-mentioned solid agar can be removed from centrifugal separating tube, be divided into half.Above-mentioned agar is utilized After filter paper parcel, it is put into tissue cassette.At this time, processing before is such as above described.Centrifuge and membrane filtration one Together, a kind of arbitrary method can be replaced by.A kind of arbitrary method can be used for preparing " cell block sample (cell block Sample in) ".
Cell block is golden using Lowicryl resins (Lowicryl resins), LR whites (L R White), LR is included It is prepared by the resin through characterization of color (LR Gold), Unicryl and MonoStep.The resin has low viscosity, in low temperature It is lower to be polymerize using ultraviolet.Embedding treatment (embedding process) cools down sample by easy stages during dehydration, will Sample is moved in resin, finally has block under the low temperature of appropriate ultraviolet wavelength.
Cell block piece section (cell block sections) is for cytomorphology inspection (cytomorphological Examination) and using hematoxylin eosin staining method dyed, while additional clip is used for the inspection to special sign thing Look into.
Whether with being that histology process or cytology process are unrelated, above-mentioned sample divides above-mentioned operation in order to prevent sample Solution, is immobilized before additional treatments.The processing is referred to as " fixed (f ixation) ", illustrates the extensive thing that can be used with Matter and method.Sample fixed protocol and reagent are empirically selected based on target to be detected with specific cells/tissue to be analyzed Select.Sample is fixed dependent on ethanol (ethanol), polyethylene glycol (polyethylene glycol), methanol (metha nol), The reagent of formalin (formalin) or isopropanol (isopropanol) etc..Above-mentioned sample is being collected and is being added to as far as possible After in glass slide, it is fixed at once.However, selected fixer can cause the different kinds of molecules target band for making subsequent detection become difficult Carry out constructive variations.Fixed and immobilization processing and their order can change the shape of cell, and cytoscopy technician is expected that And recognize this change.Fixer can reduce particular cell types so that cytoplasm shows graininess (granular) Or netted (reticular).Many fixers can be played a role by being crosslinked combination with cell component.This can make defined epitope Impaired or change, and new epitope is generated, molecule can be caused to combine (molecular associations), and film can be reduced Permeability.Formalin is fixed as one kind in most conventional cytology/Histological method.Formalin on protein periphery or Methyl bridge (methyl bridge) is formed in protein.Precipitation (precip itation) or solidification (coagulation) are also used In fixation, ethanol is frequently used for such fixation.Crosslinking (crosslinking) and the combination of precipitation can also be used to fix. Powerful fixing process is to save the method for optimizing of morphologic information from damage, conversely, weak fixing process is the preservation of molecular target The best approach.
Straight alcohol, polyethylene glycol (PEG), 1.85% formaldehyde of 2mM that representational fixer is 50%.The component tune Ethanol (50% to 95%), methanol (20%-50%) and formalin (first are individually included with the change on (formulation) Aldehyde).In PEG1500,50% ethanol and 3% methanol that other common fixers are 2%.Glass slide is at normal temperatures to solid Determine after about 10 minutes to 15 minutes are placed in liquid, remove and dry.Once glass slide is fixed, just using such as phosphate-buffered salt The buffer solution of solution (PBS) etc. rinses.
Emphasize to extensive dyestuff otherness or the feature or morphological structure of control cell, subcellular fraction and tissue, can use In " dyeing (stain) ".It is blueness or black that bush (hematoxylin), which is used for nuclear staining,.Orange G -6 (Orange G-6) And eosin reddish black (eosin azur e) dyes the cytoplasm of cell.Orange G by keratin (keratin) and can contain The cell dyeing yellowly of glycogen (glycogen).Eosin W or W S is used to dye kernel (nucleoli), cilium (cilia), red blood cell (red blood cells) and superficial epithelial squamous cell (super ficial epithelial squamous cells). Romano this base dyeing (romanowsky stai ns) is used for (air dried) glass slide spontaneously dried, can increase multiform Property, it is useful to distinguishing the outer material of (intracytoplasmic) the material cell plastid out of cytoplasm.
Dyeing course may include the infiltrative processing of the cell to enhancing dyeing.Utilize the thin of lotion (d etergent) The processing of born of the same parents can be used for strengthening permeability.In order to strengthen the permeability of cell and tissue, fixed sample also can use solvent (solvents), saponin(e (saponins) or non-ionic lotion (non-ionic detergents) are handled.Enzyme decomposes (enzymatic digestio n) can also improve the proximity of the particular target in tissue samples.
After dyeing, above-mentioned sample is rinsed by the increased continuity alcohol of determining alcohol to be dehydrated.Finally cleaning utilizes Dimethylbenzene (xylene) or the citrus terpene (citrus terpene) with the refractive index close to the coverslip for glass slide Deng dimethylbenzene substitute complete.The final step is referred to as washing (clearing).Once sample is dehydrated and washes, just make With sealant (moun ting medium).Above-mentioned sealant selection has close to the refractive index of glass, and can be by lid glass Piece is attached to glass slide.This may also suppress the additional drying of cell, contraction or decline.
Independent of used dyeing or processing, pneumonocyte sample is finally assessed by certain type of microscopical observation To complete, which can determine that the visual examination (visual i nspection) in Xingtai and the presence or absence of marker. Exemplary microscopy includes bright-field (b rightfield), phase difference (phase contrast), fluorescence (fluorescence) and differential interference contrasts (differential interference contrast).
After inspection, the second test is required on sample, then can remove coverslip, and glass slide is decolourized.Decoloration (destaining) original solvents system (original solvent s ystem) is included the use of, with the phase of original dyeing course Reverse-order dyes glass slide, and does not add dyestuff originally.Decoloration can also be straight by the way that glass slide is immersed acid alcohol Become colorless to cell to complete to decolourize.Once colourless glass slide is rinsed carefully in the sink, and carry out at the second dyeing Reason.
Also, the discriminating of specific molecular can be tried by using the specific molecular of such as antibody or nucleic acid probe or aptamer etc. The cytomorphology analysis of agent together carries out.This can improve the accuracy of diagnostic cytology.Micro-dissections (micro- Dissection) it is particularly useful in the separation to separating abnormality chromosome (abnormal chromosomes), gene expression (gene Expression) or mutation (mutations) the cell further assessed subset.
Preparation for assessing histological tissue samples includes fixed (fixation), is dehydrated (dehydration), oozes (infiltration), embedding (embedding) and fragmentation (sectioning) thoroughly.Fixed examination used in histology Agent has to sacrifice the characterization of molecules identical with each protein as generation with closely similar or identical used in cytology Valency retains the same problem of morphological feature.It is dehydrated if tissue samples are not fixed, but after frozen, what is freezed When by fragmentation, then can save the time.This is a kind of safer processing method, can retain more individual marker things. However, causing subcellular fraction information to be lost due to importing ice crystal, freeze to be not suitable for store tissue sample for a long time.The group freezed The fragmentation process for generating very thin section can also be disturbed by knitting the ice in sample.In addition to formalin is fixed, four oxidations Osmium (osmium tetroxide) is additionally operable to fix, and phosphatide (film) is colored.
Washed successively by using the alcohol of gradual increase concentration to make tissue dewatering.Washing includes the use of alcohol and can mix bag Bury the material of material, alcohol:The ratio of washing accelerating agent (clearing agent) (dimethylbenzene or dimethylbenzene substitute) starts from 50: 50 interim process.Permeating (infilt ration) is included first by tissue and 50:50 embedding reagent:Wash accelerating agent With embedding reagent (hot wax (warm wax), the nitrocellulose solution of 100% embedding reagent liquid form (nitrocellulose solution)) together cultivate.Embedding fills fusing by the way that tissue is positioned in mould or box Embedding reagent such as wax, agar or gelatin are realized.Cure above-mentioned embedding reagent.Then, cured tissue samples can be with In order to dye and subsequent experimental and cut into thin fragment.
Before dyeing, tissue fragment is removed wax and is dehydrated again.Wax of the dimethylbenzene for removing fragment, alternative one Dimethylbenzene a or more than it, is organized by the continuous wash in the alcohol for reducing concentration, so as to complete to be dehydrated again.Go paraffin removal it Before, tissue fragment at a temperature of about 80 DEG C heat fixation in about 20 minutes in glass slide.
Detection wind lidar (laser capture micro-dissection) can separate a part of cell Collection, further to analyze fragment of tissue.
In order to strengthen the visualization of microscopic features, such as in cytology, tissue fragment or section can use various coloring agents To dye.Various types of common coloring agents can be used for strengthening or differentiating specific characteristics.
In order to further enhance the interaction of cytology/histological sample and molecular agents, many use have been developed In the technology of " analyte recovery ".First, fixed sample is heated to high temperature by this first technology.This method is also referred to as heat and lures Lead epitope reparation (heat-induced epitop e retrieval) or HIER.Various heating techniques are used, including are steamed Vapour heating (steam h eating), microwave heating (microwaving), autoclaving (autoclaving), water bath with thermostatic control (wa ter bath) and pressure cooking (pressure cooking), or the combination of these heating means.Analyte recovers solution Including such as water, citrate (citrate) and brine buffer solution (saline buf fers).Analyte recover core be High-temperature time, but long-term relatively low temperature also can be used successfully.Another key that analyte is recovered is the pH value of heated solution. Known low ph value can provide optimal immunostaining, but also often result in and need to use minor microstructure fragment as negative control Background.Composition regardless of buffer solution, most powerful advantage (increase immunostaining is without increasing background) is usually using high pH Solution obtains.Heating, time, pH and buffer solution is used to form as process optimization for the analyte recovery process of particular target Parameter, empirically to optimize.Microwave analysis thing restoration methods allow different targets and antibody reagent continuous dyeing.However, Time between staining procedure needed for completion antibody-multienzyme complex, which represents, can also reduce cell membrane analyte.Microwave heating side Method further improves in situ hybridization (in situ hybridization).
Recover process to start analyte, wax is taken out first from fragment and is dehydrated.Then glass slide is immersed In the 10mM sodium citrate buffer solutions of pH6.0 in disk or in bottle.In typical method, glass will be carried using the microwave of 1100W Piece heats 2 minutes in the micro-wave oven of 100% power, and after the lid for confirming glass slide still covers in the solution, Glass slide is heated to micro-wave oven 18 minutes with 20% power.Then glass slide is cooled down in non-covered container and is rushed with distilled water Wash.In order to improve the reactivity of target and immuno-chemical reagent, HIER can degrade with enzyme and be used in combination.
The enzyme decomposing scheme uses Proteinase K (proteinase K).The EDTA of Tris salt, 1mM in 50mM, 0.5% Triton X-100, pH 8.0 buffer solution in prepare concentration be 20 μ g/ml Proteinase K.The process includes passing through first Replace secondary, 5 minutes removing fragments every time wax with dimethylbenzene.Hereafter, sample is respectively with 100% hydrous ethanol 3 minutes, and 95% 1 minute each with 80% ethanol, and use distilled water flushing.Fragment is covered with Proteinase K, and in moist room at a temperature of 37 DEG C Cultivate 10~20 minutes (optimal incubation time can change according to tissue morphology and immobilization degree).By the fragment in room temperature Lower cooling 10 minutes, is then rinsed 2 minutes 2 times with PBS polysorbas20s.If desired, fragment can be blocked to eliminate endogenous The potential interference of compound and enzyme.Then when by above-mentioned fragment, appropriate dilution 1 is small at normal temperatures in first antibody dilution buffer Or stay overnight at 4 DEG C and together cultivated with first antibody.Above-mentioned fragment is rinsed 2 minutes 2 times with PBS polysorbas20s.If necessary to special Using, then carry out extra blocking, then again with PBS Tween 20 rinse 3 times, continue 2 minutes, finally complete immunostaining Scheme.
Being also demonstrated that at room temperature with 1% SDS simple process improves immunohistochemical staining.Analyte restoration methods It can be applied to the fragment of the fragment and glass slide covering flowed freely.Another therapeutic choice is to immerse glass slide to contain PH is in 6.0 citric acid and the container of 0.1Nonidet P40 and is heated to 95 DEG C.Then washed with buffer solution such as PBS above-mentioned Glass slide.
Dyed for the immunology of tissue, by the way that fragment is immersed protein solution such as serum or skimmed milk power (non-fat Dry milk) in, it is possible to it is useful for blocking the non-specific binding of tissue protein and antibody.
Barrier reaction (blocking reaction) reduces the water of Endogenous Biotin (endogenous biotin) It is flat;Eliminate endogenous charge effect (endogenous charge effects);It may need inactivating endogenous nuclease (endogenous nucleases) and/or inactivating endogenous enzyme such as peroxidase (peroxidase) and alkaline phosphatase (alkaline phosphatase).Endogenous nucleic acid enzyme, by heat treatment, can be used by using the degraded of Proteinase K Such as the chelating agent of EDTA or EGTA, by introducing carrier DNA or ribonucleic acid, urea (urea), thiocarbamide (thiourea), guanidine hydrochloride (guanidine hydrochloride), guanidine thiocyanate (guanidine thiocyanate) are high The chaotropic agent of lithium chlorate (lithium perchlorate) etc. or pyrocarbonic acid diethyl ester (diethyl pyrocarbonate) etc. (chaotrope) handled, so as to inactivate.Alkaline phosphatase can be handled 5 minutes at room temperature by using the HCl of 0.1N Or handled by using 1mM levamisols (levamisole), so as to inactivate.Peroxidase activity can be by using 0.03% hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide) is handled to remove.By the way that glass slide or fragment are immersed avidin 9 (streptavidin (streptavidin), neutravidin (neutravidin) can be with for (avidin) solution in vain Alternatively) at least 15 minutes block endogenous nucleic acid enzyme at room temperature.Then above-mentioned glass slide or fragment are washed with buffer solution Wash at least 10 minutes.Washing can repeat at least 3 times.Then glass slide or fragment are immersed into biotin solution 10 minutes.Every time It can be repeated at least 3 times using new biotin solution.Repeat buffer solution cleaning procedure.Should minimally use blocking side Case to prevent infringement cell or tissue structure or target interested, but can with one or the slow dissociation rate core more than it Before sour aptamer is reacted, it can be combined with " stop " glass slide or fragment (with reference to Basic Medical Histology:The Biology of Cells, Tissues and Organs, authored by Richard G.Kessel, Oxford University Press, 1998).

The biomarker " signature (signature) " of diagnostic test for being provided includes a series of markers, respectively A marker has mutually different level in concern is gathered.Wherein, mutually different level refers to more than two or its The individual different marker levels of group are averaged, or two or organize different changes or their two kinds wholes more than it Combination.For the diagnostic test of simplest form, individual is being distributed to normal group as one of two groups or disease group Unknown sample when, their marker can be used.A kind of distribution sample in more than two groups will be known as classifying, will be Method used in this sample distribution is known as grader (classifier) or sorting technique (classification method).In addition, sorting technique is also known as point system (scoring method).In order to from a series of biomarker Value forms diagnostic classification device (diagnostic classifier) using more sorting techniques.In general, in be distinguished two A (or in order to which various classification states are the data set more than it) mutually different group of interior sample by using from individual acquirement, To utilize the supervised learning technology (supervised learning techniques) for collecting data set, then it is easiest to hold Row sorting technique.Species (group or set) belonging to known each sample, therefore, can be can provide in above-mentioned sorting technique The mode of required classification reaction gives training.Unsupervised learning technology also can be used in order to produce diagnostic classification device (unsupervised learning techniques)。
Include for developing the conventional of diagnostic classification device close to method:Decision chart (decision tre e);Bagging (bagging)+promote (boosting)+forest (forests);Rule deduction based on study;Parzen windows (Parzen Window);Linear model (linear mo dels);Symbolic logic (logistic);Neutral net (neural Network) method;Unsupervised clustering (unsupervised clustering);K- is average (K-means);It is layered ascending order/drop Sequence (hierarchical ascending/descending);Semi-supervised learning (semi-supe rvised learning); Prototype method (prototype methods);Neighbour samples (neares t neighbor);Density Estimator (kernel density estimation);Support vector machines (support vector machines);Hidden Markov model (hidden Markov mode ls);Boltzmann learns (Boltzmann Learning), and grader can simply combine or can be with by spy The mode for determining purpose function (objective function) minimum combines.Pattern Classification are can refer to, R.O.Duda, et al., editors, John Wiley&S ons, 2nd edition, 2001 and The Elements of Statistical Learning-Dat a Mining, Inference, and Prediction, T.Hastie, et al., Editors, Spri nger Science+Business Media, LLC, 2nd edition, 2009, they each is logical Reference is crossed to be integrally incorporated.
In order to generate grader by using supervised learning technology, a series of sample for being referred to as training data is obtained. In diagnostic test, training data includes the sample from the group (classification) mutually distinguished for distributing unknown sample later.Example Such as, from control group individual and specified disease group individual collect sample may make up in order to develop be used for using disease whether The training data used in the presence of the grader classified to unknown sample (or in more detail, obtaining the individual of sample). It is also known as giveing grader training from training data exploitation grader.Usually to the special details of grader training It is the characteristic of supervised learning technology.In order to illustrate following, to training Naive Bayes Classifier (naive Bayesian Classifier example) illustrate (for example, referring to Pattern Classification, R.O.Duda, et al., Editor s, John Wiley&Sons, 2nd edition, 2001;Also, with reference to The Elemen ts of Statistical Learning-Data Mining, Inference, and prediction, T.Hastie, et al., Editors, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, 2nd edition, 2009).
Generally, due to the potentiality biomarker values that there is the sample more than training set, thus pay attention to avoiding excessively It is fitted (over-fitting).In the case where statistical models substitute relation radix random error or the noise of radix, occur Overfitting.For example, overfitting can be avoided by following a variety of methods:Limitation is suitable for the number of the marker of grader exploitation Amount, assume that marker reaction is separate, the complexity of elementary statistics model used in limitation, and ensures basic statistical Learn model be based on data etc..
The example for developing the diagnostic test of a series of biomarker is included to Naive Bayes Classifier, biology mark Will thing is strictly independently handled, and the simple probability grader based on Bayes principle is applicable.Biomarker passes through The RFU values that are measured in various species or with the relevant species of log RFU values (Relative fluorescence units)-dependence density function (probabi lity density function;Pdf) described.In a group, it is relevant with a series of marker Joint probability density function (joint pdfs) is assumed to be the production with the relevant group of individuals dependence pdf of each biomarker Thing.It is related to this, Naive Bayes Classifier is giveed training for equivalent to screening be used for mentioned kind-dependence pdf into The parameter (" parametrization (parameterization) ") that row characterizes.The basic mould based on species-dependence pdf can be used Type, still, above-mentioned model need and the Data Matching usually what is observed in training set.
Specifically, measure and species-dependence probability of the relevant value xi of biomarker i of kinds of Diseases are recited as P (xi | d), observable have total naive Bayesian of n marker of { tilde over (x) }=(x1, x2 ... xn) values general Rate is recited as p ({ tilde over (x) } | d)=Π i=1np (xi | d), wherein, individual xi is utilizes RFU or logRF U The biomarker level being measured.With it is unknown it is relevant it is classification-designated for, for same measured value, by with without Possibility (control group) p (c | { tilde over (x) }) of disease is compared, can be with measured value { tilde to calculate Over (x) } disease possibility p (d | { tilde over (x) }), so as to become easy.The ratio of above-mentioned possibility can lead to Cross and be applicable in Bayes principle, to be calculated from species-dependence pdf, wherein, p (d) is in the set for being suitable for test The ill rate of disease.If the logarithm of the both sides ratio by taking above-mentioned ratio, substitute into from above-mentioned naive Bayesian species-according to Rely property probability, then it is as follows.
It is known that above-mentioned form is log-likelihood ratio (log likelihood ratio), refer to simply deposit with disease Relevant log-likelihood (log likelihood) is being not present with disease, disposably, by N number of each biomarker The conjunction of log-likelihood ratio is formed.In the simplest form for this, (or in more detail, obtained above-mentioned in unknown sample The individual of sample) above-mentioned ratio be more than 0 in the case of, be categorized as no disease, above-mentioned ratio be less than 0 in the case of be categorized as With disease.
In an exemplary embodiments, species dependence biomarker pdfsp (xi | c) and p (xi | d) it is assumed to be and is surveyed Fixed RFU values xi, i.e. to the P (xi | d) using μ d and σ d, be assumed to be in the RFU values with similar formula normal distribution or Log-normal distribution.In order to above-mentioned model parametrization, it is necessary to from training data estimate it is related to various species-dependence pdf Two parameters, average μ and scattered σ 2.For example, this is can be by maximal possibility estimation, skill belonging to least square method and the present invention Multiple methods of arbitrary method known to the those of ordinary skill in art field are realized.If will be with μ and σ relevant normal distribution generations Enter the log likelihood ratios defined in above-mentioned, then it is as follows.
If as a series of μ and σ 2 from the ill rate of disease of training data and set to each pdf of various species into Row definition, then determine above-mentioned Bayes classifier completely, so as to be used as measured value { tilde over (x) } by above-mentioned, coming can profit For classifying to unknown sample.
The performance of Naive Bayes Classifier with composition and classification device and the quantity of the biomarker for giveing training and Characteristic is related.Such as it is defined in following example 3, single creature marker is according to the KS- distances of above-mentioned biomarker (Kolmogorov-Smirnov) work.If classifier performance index (classifier performance metric) It is defined as the bottom area (AUC) of Receiver operating curve, then complete grader has 1 fraction, random assortment Device fifty-fifty has 0.5 fraction.The KS- distance definitions that size is n between two the set A and B of m are Dn, m=supx | FA, n (x) FB, m (x) | value, this is two empirical cumulative distribution function (empirical cumulative Distribution function, cdf) between maximum different value.With the relevant empirical cumulatives of set A of the observation Xi of No. n Distribution function is defined as foloows, wherein, in Xi<In the case of x, IXix is identical with 1, is otherwise then the indicator function identical with 0 (indicator function).Above-mentioned value is between 0 and 1 in the sense, wherein, KS- distances 1 represent not repeat experience point Cloth.
Addition with outstanding KS distances (for example,>0.3) in the case of succeeding designations thing, if that is added is above-mentioned Marker is independent to the first marker, then usually improves classification performance.If use Receiver Operating Characteristics as grader fraction Area under the curve (AUC), then can easily generate more high scores of the change with greedy algorithm (greedy algorithm) Grader.(greedy algorithm is to be held in each step with the possibility for finding global optimum (global optimum) Row solves the arbitrary algorithm of the meta-heuristic method (metaheuristic) of selection locality optimal value).
From table generation all single analyte graders, and make an addition to catalogue of potentiality biomarker.Then, to the greatest extent may be used All the second analytes can be made an addition to the single analyte grader of each storage, store predetermined quantity is most in new directory High score is to (pair), i.e. storage 1000.By using the relevant above-mentioned new directory of 2- marker graders on most, come The whole possible three marker graders of investigation, 1000 be again stored in them on most.If above-mentioned score reaches stable State (plateau) continues the above process because adding when the marker of additivity starts to reduce.In order to the purposes being intended to Preferable performance, after convergence, it can be estimated that remaining high scores classification device.For example, one it is diagnostic be applicable in, there is Gao Ling Sensitivity and appropriate specific grader are preferably in the grader with appropriate sensitivity and high specific.Examined another During disconnected property is applicable in, it is preferable to be the grader with high specific and appropriate sensitivity.It is another it is diagnostic be applicable in, have May more preferably have the grader of high specific and appropriate sensitivity.Usually as preferable performance level, base Selected in shifting (trade-off) when being applicable in particular diagnosis between admissible false positive number and false negative number Select.In general, this shifting Medical result for only relying upon one of false positive or false negative.
In the art, well-known various other technologies, from the biological marker for being applicable in Naive Bayes Classifier The catalogue of thing can be used in the more potentiality grader of generation.In one embodiment, so-called genetic algorithm (genetic Algorithms) can be used in by using the appropriate fraction defined in above-mentioned, to carry out group to mutually different marker Close.Especially, genetic algorithm is suitable for finding out the potentiality grader of very big and various set.In addition, in another embodiment In, so-called ant colony optimization algorithm (ant colony optimization) can be used in a series of grader is generated.Example Such as, not using only the method for other evolution, but also it can be used and include simulated annealing simulated annealing (simulated Annealing) and other stochastic search methods (s tochastic search methods) it is known in the art Other methods.For example, as meta-heuristic method, such as harmonic search algorithm (harmony search) can be used.
