Description

Biomarker for ovarian cancer diagnosis and detection kit
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical biology, and particularly discloses a biomarker and a detection kit for ovarian cancer diagnosis.
Background
Ovarian cancer is one of the most fatal gynecological malignant tumors worldwide, seriously threatens the life and health of women, has latent ovarian cancer, unobvious clinical symptoms in early stages and lacks of effective screening and early diagnosis methods, so that about 75 percent of patients are diagnosed in late stages, the treatment effect and prognosis are relatively poor, and the total cure rate is about 30 percent. The 5-year survival rate of patients can reach over 50% by conventional surgery and chemotherapy when the patient is in phase I or II of the clinic, while the long-term survival rate is only about 20% or less when the patient is in phase III or IV of the clinic. Computer simulation studies have shown that confirmed diagnosis of disease in the early preclinical stage can increase patient survival by 10% -30% and is more cost effective.
At present, the clinical common ovarian cancer early screening method comprises pelvic cavity examination, gynecological ultrasonic imaging, tumor markers and the like, because the ovary is deeply located in the pelvic cavity and has small volume, the pelvic cavity examination can only be found when the ovary is obviously affected by a large lesion, the gynecological ultrasonic imaging lacks the capability of distinguishing and distinguishing ovarian cancer and benign ovarian tumor, the false positive rate is easy to appear, and the price is high. The common serum tumor markers comprise CA125 and HE4, but the sensitivity and specificity of the two markers in the aspect of early diagnosis of ovarian cancer still have certain limitations, and the clinical large-scale population screening test cannot be met. Therefore, in order to improve the 5-year survival rate of ovarian cancer patients, the search for an effective and economically practical method for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer is urgently needed.
The tumor development process is often accompanied by the abnormal expression of proteins, these abnormal expression and tumor development related proteins are called Tumor Associated Antigens (TAAs), which can enter the blood circulation at the early stage of cancer and be recognized by the immune system, thereby inducing host immune response to generate anti-tumor associated antigen autoantibodies (TAAb), the anti-TAA autoantibodies are stable in the blood of cancer patients, the existence of high titer makes them more attractive as early diagnosis markers of cancer than tumor associated antigens, and a new approach is brought for the research of early tumor markers. Since the sensitivity of individual autoantibodies for early detection of cancer is low, it has been found that the sensitivity of detection can be improved to some extent by using a specific set of anti-TAA autoantibody combinations. Therefore, screening a group of better marker combinations has important practical significance for early diagnosis of ovarian cancer.
In the past, research methods for searching potential tumor markers mostly focus on serological analysis (SEREX) of recombinant cDNA expression libraries and serological proteome analysis, but the experimental technology of the screening method is complicated and complicated, results are difficult to repeat, certain false positive and false negative exist, and low-abundance proteins cannot be effectively detected. In recent years, protein chip technology has the advantages of high throughput, small usage amount, rapid detection and the like, and has gradually developed into a mainstream tool for proteomics research. The human whole proteome chip is composed of a large number of recombinant proteins arranged on the surface, including kinases, membrane proteins, nucleoproteins, secretory proteins, transcription factors, and proteins involved in functional pathways such as metabolism, signal transduction, cell death, and can be used for biomarker discovery in a disease context in a high throughput manner. Therefore, the application of the human whole proteome chip to screen a large number of potential, novel and higher-sensitivity ovarian cancer-associated antigens and corresponding autoantibodies thereof for large-scale population screening of ovarian cancer is a clinical need to be solved urgently at present.
