Background
Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, accounting for 30% of women's cancers, and is the second leading cause of death from female cancers following lung cancer. Invasive breast cancer is the main pathological type of breast cancer, wherein axillary lymph node metastasis is the common metastatic site of invasive breast cancer, about 40% of patients with invasive breast cancer have an initial diagnosis with ipsilateral axillary lymph node metastasis, and the more lymph nodes have metastasis, the shorter the disease-free survival period and the shorter the overall survival period of the patients. Therefore, early detection and dynamic assessment of metastatic status in breast cancer patients has important clinical value for treatment and longitudinal analysis of cancer evolution in response to treatment.
Currently, sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary lymph node cleaning in the operation are standard methods for diagnosing the metastasis state of axillary lymph nodes, but the methods are time-consuming and invasive, bring related operation complications and influence the life quality of patients.

example 1
The process of screening for exosome markers for diagnosing lymph node metastasis of invasive breast cancer will be described in detail below.
(I) extraction and identification of exosomes
1. Collection of serum samples
Serum samples of invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis (IBC LN group) were from 51 patients confirmed at the first human hospital in the Shanghai city affiliated with the Shanghai university of transportation medical school; serum samples of in situ invasive breast cancer (IBC Pure group) were also obtained from 54 patients at the first national hospital of Shanghai school of medicine, affiliated Shanghai university of transportation. These serum samples were placed in a-80 ℃ freezer for testing.
2. Exosome extraction
1mL of serum was thawed on ice and centrifuged at 3000rcf for 10min at 4 ℃; taking the supernatant, centrifuging for 20min by 10000g, diluting the supernatant by 25mL PBS, and filtering by a 0.22 μm centrifugal filter device to remove any large polluted vesicles; ultracentrifugation of the filtered serum at 15 ten thousand rcf for 4h, removal of the supernatant; resuspending the precipitate with 25mL PBS, centrifuging at 4 deg.C for 2h at 15 ten thousand rcf, adding 0.01M PBS to the residual 200 μ L, resuspending the precipitate, separating a small amount for exosome identification, and storing at 4 deg.C for use; storing at-80 deg.C.
3. Identification of exosomes
And for the extracted exosomes, observing and analyzing the morphology and particle size of the extracted exosomes by adopting a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA), wherein the NTA shows that the separated exosomes are in a uniform vesicle structure with the size range of 30-150nm, conform to the particle size range of the exosomes and are surrounded by a double-layer membrane. Meanwhile, indexes such as exosome markers CD9, CD63, TSG101 and ALIX on the surface of the protein are detected by a western blotting method, and WB results show that the separated exosomes express specific marker molecules such as CD9, CD63, TSG101 and ALIX.
(II) analysis and screening of exosome protein differential expression molecules
And performing LC-MS detection on the extracted sEVs protein to obtain a serum sEVs protein map of the subject, and performing a series of statistical analysis on the data obtained by detection.
1. Detection method
(1) Liquid chromatography: the polypeptides were separated on a 150 μm I.D.. times.15 cm column at a flow rate of 600nL/min over 75 minutes using an EASY-nLC 1200 ultra high pressure liquid chromatography system (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and a 1.9 μm repsil-pur 120C18-AQ column (Dr. Maisch) packed with a laser pull-spray emitter. Mobile phase a was water (containing 0.1 vol% formic acid) and mobile phase B was acetonitrile (containing 0.1 vol% formic acid), and mobile phase B was linearly increased from 15% to 30% over 75min for gradient elution.
(2) Mass spectrometry: the samples were analyzed by Q-exact-HF mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and nanoelectrospray ion source (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The mass spectrometer was operated in data independent mode for ion mobility enhanced spectral library generation. Typically, 75% of the sample is injected. The peptide fragment was dissolved in 12 μ L (0.1% formic acid) of loading buffer, 9 μ L was loaded onto a 100 μm i.d. × 2.5cm C18 column with a maximum pressure of 280bar (hydraulic units) and solvent a of 0.1% formic acid. The DIA method includes MS1 scanning 300-1400 m/z, 60k resolution (AGC target 4e5 or 50 MS). Then, 30 DIA segments were obtained at 15k resolution with AGC targeting 5e4 or a maximum injection time of 22 ms. The "injection of all available parallel time" setting is enabled. HCD fragmentation was set at 30% normalized collision energy. The spectra were recorded in profile mode. The default charge state for the MS2 scan is set to 3.
2. Statistical analysis
(1) Peptide identification and protein quantification: all data were processed using Firmiana. The UniProt human protein database was searched for DIA data using FragPipe (v.12.1) and MSFragger (2.2). The mass deviation of the precursor was 20ppm, and the mass deviation of the product ion was 50 mmu. A maximum of two cleavage sites is allowed. The search engine uses cysteine aminomethylation as the fixed modification and N-acetylation and oxidation of methionine as the variable modification. The precursor ion score charge is limited to +2, +3, and + 4. The data was also searched with the bait database to bring the False Discovery Rate (FDR) for protein identification to within 5%.
DIA data was analyzed using DIANN (v1.7.0). The quantification of the determined polypeptide was calculated as the average chromatographic fragment ion peak area of all reference spectral libraries. The label-free protein quantification was calculated using the label-free, intensity-based absolute quantification (iBAQ) method. We calculated peak area values as part of the corresponding protein. The total ratio (FOT) is used to represent the normalized abundance of a particular protein in a sample. FOT is defined as the iBAQ of one protein divided by the total iBAQ of all identified proteins in one sample. For ease of illustration, the FOT value is multiplied by 105The deficiency value is classified as 10-5. The raw proteomics data file is hosted by iProX.
(2) Statistical analysis: to enter proteomic data, we first screened more than 50% of the identified proteins in each group and split the data into two parts. When the protein detection rate was < 50%, the deletion value was replaced by one tenth of the minimum value. There is no application liability for these proteins. When the protein detection rate is > 50%, the missing value may be due to the limitation of the LC/MS detection accuracy. In this case, the deletion probability of a protein is first calculated using the R package "impute" based on the K-NN algorithm. Survival marker discovery and validation based on meta-analysis was performed using a Kaplan-Meier plotter.
(3) Principal Component Analysis (PCA): the input data was normalized using the LogNorm algorithm. And realizing unsupervised clustering analysis by using a PCA function of the R packet 'factextratra'. The 95% confidence coverage is represented by a colored ellipse for each group and is calculated based on the mean and covariance of the different group points.
(4) Global heatmap: in all samples, each gene expression value in the global proteome expression matrix was converted to z-score. The z-score transformed matrix is clustered using the R-package "pheatmap".
(5) And (3) path enrichment analysis: pathway enrichment analysis was performed using DAVID and consensus spathdb, with categorical annotation by Fisher's exact test according to KEGG, GOBP and Reactome.
3. Results
(1) Screening for differentially expressed proteins
The present application first constructed a proteomic profile of serum sEV and identified 1116 proteins from 105 samples analyzed, with a False Discovery Rate (FDR) of less than 5% at the protein and peptide levels. PCA was further used to observe the population distribution between samples, with the results shown in a of fig. 1: PCA clearly distinguished samples of both populations at the protein level, highlighting the different proteomic patterns between sEV in the invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis samples and in situ invasive breast cancer samples.
Further comparative screening was performed using Student's t-test and nominal p-value cut-off, 30 significantly differentially expressed sEVs-derived proteins were identified in invasive breast cancer lymph node samples (fold change >2, Student's t-test p <0.05), and the results were visualized using a volcano plot, as shown in B of FIG. 1: there are 18 proteins with significant up-regulation, such as COL15a1, ESYT1, PEPD, CCT6A, ACAN, GAA, ACTA2, ACTG2, MATR3, PAPR1, etc., and 12 proteins with significant down-regulation, such as STX7, KPNB1, TTYH3, GSPG4, ZYX, VDAC1, RRPB1, RANBP2, etc.
(2) Gene set enrichment analysis of differentially expressed upregulated proteins
Further clustering and cluster-specific enrichment analysis of up-regulated proteins using Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) resulted in the finding that the lymph node metastasis samples from invasive breast cancer are characterized by proteins that correlate with adipogenesis characteristics (a of fig. 2).
Based on the above findings, in order to elucidate the mechanism of lymph node metastasis in invasive breast cancer, the present application also studies the immune landscape of in situ invasive breast cancer and lymph node metastasis of invasive breast cancer: based on sEV proteomic data extracted from the blood of the aforementioned 105 invasive breast cancer samples, the abundances of 16 different cell types were calculated using xCell (a tool that calculates their individual cell type enrichment scores from gene expression profiles). As a result, it was found that B cells, basophils, CD4 were present in the group of in situ invasive breast carcinomas+T cell, CD4+The enrichment fraction of naive T cells, DCs, mesangial cells, activated dendritic cells (aDCs) and Immature Dendritic Cells (iDCs) is higher than that of the lymph node metastasis group of invasive breast cancer; on the other hand, Adipocytes (Adipocytes), CD8, in the lymph node metastasis group of invasive breast cancer+T cell, CD8+The enrichment fraction of primitive T cells, pluripotent progenitors (MPPs), macrophages, megakaryocytes, Platelets (Platelets) and sebocytes was higher than that of the in situ invasive breast cancer group (fold change)>1.5 Student T test p<0.05) (B of fig. 2 and A, B, C of fig. 3).
Among them, the increase in the fat cell enrichment fraction in the invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis group attracts the attention of the applicant of the present invention, and furthermore, Spearman correlation analysis was performed on the cells with increased enrichment fraction and adipogenesis, VEGF signaling pathway, coagulation pathway, and the like. As a result, it was found that there was a positive correlation between adipogenesis and adipocytes (Spearman rho 0.188, p 5.507 e)-02) (D of FIG. 3); adipocytes were associated with VEGF signaling pathway (E of FIG. 3), and VEGF signaling pathway was upregulated in the lymph node metastasis group of invasive breast cancer (F of FIG. 3); in addition, VEGF signaling pathway is associated with pluripotent progenitor cells (MPPs) (G of FIG. 3), MPPs inUp-regulated in the lymph node metastasis group of invasive breast cancer and positively correlated with the coagulation pathway (Spearman rho 0.295, p 2.216 e)-03) (H of fig. 3); meanwhile, platelets are positively correlated with the coagulation pathway (Spearman rho 0.209, p 3.225 e)-02) (I in FIG. 3), the platelet-rich fraction in the lymph node metastasis group of invasive breast cancer appeared to be up-regulated. Platelets have been shown to be active participants in all steps of tumorigenesis, including cancer growth, cancer cell extravasation and metastasis, and the Spearman-related analysis of the invention has also found that: many of the molecules highly associated with platelets are angiogenesis and metastasis associated molecules (e.g., PLCB2, ATP6V1C1, BCAP31, GP6, GP5, ANXA3, NCKAP1, VWF, PARK7, MMP3, etc.) (J and K of fig. 3).
Based on the results of the Spearman correlation analysis described above, we speculate that: adipocytes play an important role in lymph node metastasis of invasive breast cancer, and the mechanism that leads to lymph node metastasis of invasive breast cancer is shown in L of FIG. 3, which is a schematic diagram showing that adipocytes activate MPPs by positively regulating VEGF production and finally promote platelet production, which helps breast cancer cells migrate to lymph nodes.
Example 2 creation and validation of classifiers
Based on the research, the invention adopts a random forest classification method to construct a molecular classifier for distinguishing the lymph node metastasis of the invasive breast cancer and the in-situ invasive breast cancer, and introduces the 30 sEVs protein data with significant differential expression into a random forest classification model so as to determine the sEVs protein subset for accurately distinguishing the lymph node of the invasive breast cancer and the pure compartment of the invasive breast cancer. For training and subsequent testing of the model, the aforementioned sEVs samples of 2 types of population were first evenly divided, with 70% of the samples used as the training set and the remaining 30% used as independent test sets.
The results are shown in FIG. 4: the combination of 12 sEV proteins (PEPD, NCL, PARP1, ACTA2, ACTG2, TBCA, MATR3, KRT16, CCT6A, TTYH3, KPNB1 and RANBP2) was applied to a training set for 5-fold cross validation, and a classifier with an optimal recognition effect on invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis and in situ invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis was constructed, with a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 100% in diagnosing invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis (A, C in FIG. 4). When these 12 protein identifiers were applied to sEV samples of the independent test set, the model achieved 81% sensitivity and 81% specificity in diagnosing lymph node metastasis from invasive breast cancer (FIG. 4A).
In addition, the present invention also used the CPTAC breast cancer data set (n ═ 80) as an external validation test set, and obtained a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 97% (B of fig. 4).
In conclusion, a group of exosome markers for diagnosing invasive breast cancer lymph node metastasis is excavated from a large number of proteins through sEVs proteome analysis and differential protein analysis, and the diagnosis performance of the markers is verified through constructing a classifier.
While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the above description should not be taken as limiting the invention. Various modifications and alterations to this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined from the following claims.
