Description

Application of CAAP1 autoantibody detection reagent in preparation of lung cancer screening kit

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of in-vitro diagnostic reagents, in particular to an application of a CAAP1 autoantibody detection reagent in preparing a lung cancer screening kit.

Background

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world, the morbidity and mortality of the lung cancer are on the rising trend year by year, the morbidity is at the top of the world at present, and the health and the life of human beings are seriously threatened.

The lung cancer is a disease good in occult, clinical symptoms are often shown only when the disease develops to the advanced stage, 70-80% of lung cancer patients are already at the middle and advanced stages when the lung cancer symptoms are diagnosed, cancer cells are diffused, the best curing time is missed, and the five-year survival rate is low. For early-stage lung cancer patients, the survival rate and the survival quality of the patients can be greatly improved by 5 years and more through timely treatment. Early diagnosis of lung cancer and effective screening are therefore of paramount importance.

The screening of the lung cancer refers to that people without lung cancer related symptoms are subjected to routine physical examination, and the lung cancer is found in time before the symptoms appear. If the lung cancer molecular marker in the plasma can be found, the molecular marker has important significance for prompting a clinician to take relevant treatment measures or decisions for a patient at an early stage.

Autoantibodies are antibodies produced by the body to self-organs, cells or cellular components. At present, autoantibodies to certain proteins have become markers for lung cancer, such as: p53, NY-ESO-1, CYFRA, etc. (Tang Z-M, Link Z-G, Wang C-M, Wu Y-B, Kong J-L (2017) Serum tune-associated autoimmune polymers for lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. PLoS ONE 12(7): e 0182117).

CAAP1(Ensembl: ENSG00000120159) is ubiquitously expressed in thyroid, adrenal gland and other tissues. At present, no report related to CAAP1 protein autoantibodies exists, and no prior art related to lung cancer exists.

Detailed Description

Example 1 correlation of CAAP1 autoantibodies in plasma with Lung cancer

First, clinical data

28 lung cancer patients and 27 healthy controls were selected, and the basic information was as follows:

basic information	Patients with lung cancer	Healthy controls
			Number of people	28	27
Age (age)	57±10.1	42±6.9
			Proportion of males	19(67.8％)	13(48.1％)

Second, detection principle

HuProt ^TM The CAAP1 protein is fixed on the human protein customizing chip, after the human protein customizing chip is incubated by adding serum, CAAP1 autoantibodies (mainly comprising IgG and IgM antibodies and also other types of antibodies) in the serum can be combined, the unbound antibodies and other proteins are removed by cleaning, an anti-human IgM fluorescent labeled secondary antibody (cy5 labeled and showing red) and an anti-human IgG fluorescent secondary antibody (cy3 labeled and showing green) are used for detection, signals are read by a fluorescence scanner, and the strength of the signals is positively correlated with the affinity and the quantity of the antibodies.

Third, the method

The reagents used in this section were as follows:

the method comprises the following specific steps:

1) rewarming: taking out the chip from a refrigerator at-80 deg.C, putting in a refrigerator at 4 deg.C for rewarming for half an hour, and then putting in room temperature for rewarming for 15 min;

2) and (3) sealing: fixing 14 blocks in the rewarming chip, adding sealing liquid into each block after fixing, placing on a side swing bed, and sealing at room temperature for 3 hr;

3) incubation of serum samples: after sealing is finished, pouring the sealing liquid completely, then quickly adding a serum incubation liquid prepared in advance, wherein each chip can incubate 14 serum samples, the sample loading volume of each serum sample is 200 mu L, and the shaking table is laterally swung at 20rpm and incubated overnight at 4 ℃ (the serum samples are frozen and thawed in a chromatography cabinet at 4 ℃, and the incubation liquid is added to dilute in a ratio of 1: 50 to obtain the serum incubation liquid);

4) cleaning: the chip and the chip fence are taken out together, the sample is sucked, then the PBST with the same volume is added rapidly, and the cycle is repeated for a plurality of times, so that no cross contamination exists among the serum samples when the chip fence is detached. After the chip fence is removed, the chip is placed in a chip cleaning box with cleaning solution, and is cleaned for 3 times (10 min each time) by a horizontal shaking table at room temperature of 80 rpm;

5) and (3) secondary antibody incubation: transferring the chip into an incubation box added with 3mL of secondary antibody incubation liquid, laterally swinging a shaker at 40rpm, keeping out of the sun, and keeping at room temperature for 1 hr;

6) cleaning: the chip was removed (note that the upper surface of the chip was not touched or scratched), and placed in a chip washing cassette containing a washing solution, and washed 3 times 10min each time, on a horizontal shaker at room temperature and 80 rpm. After the completion, the mixture is washed for 2 times for 10min by ddH 2O;

7) drying;

8) scanning: scanning by using a crystal core LuxScan 10K microarray chip scanner;

9) data extraction: opening the corresponding GAL file (recording the position of protein in the chip), aligning the chip image and each array of the GAL file integrally, pressing an automatic alignment button, extracting data and storing.

Fourthly, the result

The mean expression level of CAAP1 autoantibodies in the plasma of lung cancer patients was 74.0SNR (fluorescence signal to quantitative ratio), and the mean expression level of CAAP1 autoantibodies in healthy control plasma was 36.9 SNR. The lung cancer group was statistically significant compared to healthy controls (p <0.01) (fig. 1). The ROC analysis of the lung cancer group and healthy controls gave a specificity of 88.9% and a sensitivity of 51.7% (FIG. 2), indicating that CAAP1 autoantibodies can specifically distinguish lung cancer from benign lung disease and healthy controls.

The results show that the difference of the CAAP1 autoantibody level in the serum of the lung cancer patient and the non-lung cancer patient is obvious, and the purpose of screening the lung cancer can be achieved by detecting the CAAP1 autoantibody level in the serum.

Same as example 1 third part- "detection of CAAP1 autoantibodies in serum".

The kit can screen the risk of lung cancer of a to-be-detected person by detecting the level of the CAAP1 autoantibody in serum: a high risk of lung cancer is associated with a high level of CAAP1 autoantibodies (relative to healthy humans) and a low level of CAAP1 autoantibodies is associated with a low risk of lung cancer. The method can be used for the auxiliary diagnosis of clinical lung cancer, provides effective basis for patients to take relevant treatment measures or decisions, and has good clinical application prospect.
