Description

本発明はヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度の測定による膵疾患の検査方法および検査薬に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for testing pancreatic diseases and a test drug by measuring autotaxin concentration in a human specimen.

ヒトオートタキシンは、1992年M.L.StrackeらによってA2058ヒト黒色腫細胞培養培地から細胞運動性を惹起する物質として単離された分子量約125KDaの糖蛋白質である(非特許文献1)。オートタキシンはそのリゾホスホリパーゼD活性によりリゾホスファチジルコリンを基質としリゾホスファチジン酸(LPA)を産生する。生体内ではLPAが癌の増殖、転移に関与していることが多くの研究者により示され(非特許文献2から4)、その産生酵素であるオートタキシンと様々な疾病との因果関係が研究されている。最近になり、ヒトオートタキシンを定量する手法が確立され(特許文献1、非特許文献5)、様々な疾患の診断マーカーとして期待されている。   Human autotaxin was developed in 1992 by M.M. L. It is a glycoprotein having a molecular weight of about 125 KDa isolated by Stracke et al. As a substance that induces cell motility from A2058 human melanoma cell culture medium (Non-patent Document 1). Autotaxin produces lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) using lysophosphatidylcholine as a substrate due to its lysophospholipase D activity. Many researchers have shown that LPA is involved in cancer growth and metastasis in vivo (Non-Patent Documents 2 to 4), and the causal relationship between autotaxin, which is its production enzyme, and various diseases has been studied. Has been. Recently, a method for quantifying human autotaxin has been established (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 5), and is expected as a diagnostic marker for various diseases.

オートタキシンはそのLPA産生能から癌あるいは癌転移との関連が注目され現在も盛んに研究されている。1992年に癌との関連を示した特許が出願され(特許文献2および3)、その後ヒトテラトカルシノーマ(非特許文献6)、肺の非小細胞癌(非特許文献7)、甲状腺癌(非特許文献8)、乳癌(非特許文献9)、多型膠芽腫(非特許文献10および11)、前立腺癌(非特許文献12)、ホジキンリンパ腫(非特許文献13)など多種多様な癌においてオートタキシンの関与が報告されている。しかしながら、これら報告はいずれも臓器における発現に関する報告である。   Autotaxin is attracting attention for its relationship with cancer or cancer metastasis because of its ability to produce LPA, and is still being actively studied. In 1992, a patent showing an association with cancer was filed (Patent Documents 2 and 3), then human teratocarcinoma (Non-Patent Document 6), non-small cell lung cancer (Non-Patent Document 7), thyroid cancer ( Non-patent document 8), breast cancer (non-patent document 9), glioblastoma multiforme (non-patent documents 10 and 11), prostate cancer (non-patent document 12), Hodgkin lymphoma (non-patent document 13) Has been reported to involve autotaxin. However, all of these reports are reports on expression in organs.

一方、体液中のオートタキシン濃度の上昇に関する報告は、卵巣癌患者血清で差が認められない報告(非特許文献14)、前立腺癌患者血清で差が認められない報告(非特許文献15)など否定的な報告が多く、肯定的な報告としては、卵巣癌患者腹水中でオートタキシン濃度の上昇が示された論文や悪性腫瘍の一つである悪性リンパ腫患者で血清オートタキシン濃度が高値を示す報告がある(特許文献1、非特許文献16)。これら報告から、健常者血清のオートタキシン濃度は比較的高く、癌細胞がオートタキシンを産生しても血清濃度を上昇させるに至るほどではないことを示唆しており、腹水中の卵巣癌細胞や血液中に癌細胞が存在する悪性リンパ腫でのみ血清オートタキシン濃度の上昇が検出された結果であることが示唆される。したがって、癌における体液中のオートタキシン濃度の上昇は極めて限定的な癌にのみ検出可能であるといえる。   On the other hand, reports on the increase in autotaxin concentration in body fluid include reports that no difference is observed in serum of ovarian cancer patients (Non-Patent Document 14), reports that no difference is observed in serum of prostate cancer patients (Non-Patent Document 15), etc. There are many negative reports, such as a paper showing an increase in autotaxin concentration in the ascites of ovarian cancer patients and a high serum autotaxin concentration in malignant lymphoma patients who are one of the malignant tumors There are reports (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Document 16). These reports suggest that the autotaxin concentration in the serum of healthy subjects is relatively high, and even if cancer cells produce autotaxin, the serum concentration is not increased so much. This suggests that the increase in serum autotaxin concentration was detected only in malignant lymphomas with cancer cells in the blood. Therefore, it can be said that the increase in the autotaxin concentration in the body fluid in cancer can be detected only in extremely limited cancer.

本発明の目的は、血清マーカー検査、画像検査により様々な膵疾患が疑われる患者において非癌膵疾患および膵臓癌の診断や判別が可能な簡便な検査方法ならびに検査薬を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide a simple test method and a test drug capable of diagnosing and discriminating non-cancer pancreatic disease and pancreatic cancer in patients suspected of having various pancreatic diseases by serum marker test and image test.

前述したように、従来からヒト組織または体液中のオートタキシン濃度が様々な疾病により変動することを示唆する報告がある。しかしながら、これまではオートタキシンを定量する方法がなかったため、様々な疾病との因果関係の解析がなされてこなかった。近年、本発明者により得られた特許文献1に記載の測定方法により、血清などのヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度を簡便、短時間、かつ信頼性高く定量することが可能となった。特許文献1に記載の測定方法はリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値と極めて良好な相関性を示すことが確認されており、いずれの手法においてもオートタキシン濃度の測定が可能である(非特許文献5)。そこで、特許文献1に記載の測定方法およびリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定を用い鋭意検討を重ねた結果、健常者、非癌膵疾患、膵臓癌において血液中のオートタキシン濃度およびリゾホスホリパーゼD活性に差が生じることを見いだし、本発明を完成するに至った。   As described above, there are reports that suggest that the autotaxin concentration in human tissues or body fluids varies depending on various diseases. However, until now there has been no method for quantifying autotaxin, so analysis of causal relationships with various diseases has not been made. In recent years, the measurement method described in Patent Document 1 obtained by the present inventor has made it possible to quantify the autotaxin concentration in a human sample such as serum easily, in a short time, and with high reliability. It has been confirmed that the measurement method described in Patent Document 1 shows a very good correlation with the measured value of lysophospholipase D activity, and the autotaxin concentration can be measured by any of the methods (Non-Patent Document 5). . Therefore, as a result of intensive studies using the measurement method described in Patent Document 1 and lysophospholipase D activity measurement, there is a difference in autotaxin concentration and lysophospholipase D activity in blood among healthy subjects, non-cancer pancreatic diseases, and pancreatic cancer. As a result, the present invention has been completed.

本発明は、ヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度を測定すること、そして対照群のオートタキシン濃度と比較することにより膵疾患を検査することが可能である。特に健常者群のオートタキシン濃度と比較した場合に、ヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度の低下により非癌膵疾患を検査できる。一方で、膵疾患が疑われる患者において、非癌膵疾患患者群のオートタキシン濃度と比較することにより患者検体中のオートタキシン濃度から非癌膵疾患と膵臓癌との判別ができる。   The present invention can test for pancreatic disease by measuring the autotaxin concentration in a human specimen and comparing it with the autotaxin concentration of a control group. In particular, non-cancerous pancreatic diseases can be examined by reducing the autotaxin concentration in human specimens when compared with the autotaxin concentration in the healthy group. On the other hand, in patients suspected of having pancreatic disease, non-cancer pancreatic disease and pancreatic cancer can be discriminated from the autotaxin concentration in the patient specimen by comparing with the autotaxin concentration of the non-cancer pancreatic disease patient group.

本発明の検査方法を実施するにあたり、ヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度の測定はオートタキシンの有する酵素活性であるリゾホスホリパーゼD活性の測定でも可能であるし、特許文献1に記載の方法を用いた免疫学的定量試薬で測定することも可能である。免疫学的定量試薬でオートタキシン濃度を測定する場合、検体中に含まれる内在性の測定妨害因子や競合酵素の影響を受けることなく、かつ短時間でオートタキシンを定量可能であり、小規模医療施設においても簡便、低コストで検査可能な試薬を提供することが可能である。   In carrying out the test method of the present invention, the autotaxin concentration in a human sample can be measured by measuring lysophospholipase D activity, which is an enzyme activity of autotaxin, and the method described in Patent Document 1 was used.

It is possible to provide a reagent that can be easily and inexpensively tested in a facility.

さらに、本発明の検査方法に既存の血清検査または画像診断とを組み合わせることで、血清検査または画像検査単一の検査による診断と比較し、より高い精度で膵疾患を検査することが可能となる。   Furthermore, by combining an existing serum test or image diagnosis with the test method of the present invention, it becomes possible to test pancreatic disease with higher accuracy compared to diagnosis by a single test of serum test or image test. .

以下本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明者は、オートタキシン濃度と膵疾患との関係について鋭意検討した。その結果、膵疾患において健常者と比較し非癌膵疾患患者ではオートタキシン濃度が低値を示すこと、膵臓癌患者ではオートタキシン濃度が高値を示す例はあっても低値は示さないことを、それぞれ見いだした。本結果よりヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度を測定することにより非癌膵疾患および膵臓癌の診断、ならびに膵疾患が疑われる患者において非癌膵疾患と膵臓癌との判別が可能なことを見いだした。本発明は、たとえば血液検査にて、全血中または血球、血清、血漿などのヒト血液成分中のオートタキシン濃度を簡便に測定することにより膵疾患の診断を可能にする技術および試薬を提供するものである。
The present invention will be described in detail below.
The inventor has intensively studied the relationship between autotaxin concentration and pancreatic disease. As a result, autotaxin levels were lower in patients with non-cancer pancreatic diseases than in healthy individuals in pancreatic diseases, and there were cases where autotaxin levels were high in pancreatic cancer patients, but not low values. And found each one. From this result, we found that autotaxin concentration in human specimens can be used to diagnose non-cancer pancreatic disease and pancreatic cancer, and to distinguish non-cancer pancreatic disease from pancreatic cancer in patients suspected of having pancreatic disease. . The present invention provides a technique and a reagent that enable diagnosis of pancreatic disease by simply measuring the autotaxin concentration in whole blood or human blood components such as blood cells, serum, and plasma in blood tests, for example. Is.

さらに、本発明の検査方法と、既存の血清検査または画像診断とを組み合わせることにより、さらに高精度な膵疾患の診断が期待できる。既存の血清検査としては、CA19−9、CA−50、DU−PAN−2、Span−1、CSLEX、sialyl SSEA−1、ST−439、STN、CA72−4、CA−125、CEA、hCGなど従来から用いられている腫瘍マーカーによる検査や、アミラーゼ、リパーゼ、エステラーゼ1、アルカリ性ホスファターゼ、γGTP、血糖、ヘモグロビンA1c、インスリンなどの従来から用いられる血清マーカーによる検査が例示できる。   Furthermore, by combining the test method of the present invention with an existing serum test or diagnostic imaging, a more accurate diagnosis of pancreatic disease can be expected. As existing serum tests, CA19-9, CA-50, DU-PAN-2, Span-1, CSLEX, serial SSEA-1, ST-439, STN, CA72-4, CA-125, CEA, hCG, etc. Examples include examinations using conventionally used tumor markers, and examinations using conventionally used serum markers such as amylase, lipase, esterase 1, alkaline phosphatase, γGTP, blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and insulin.

なお、男性のオートタキシン濃度と女性のオートタキシン濃度とには有意差が存在する(特願2009−298048号)。そのため、測定したヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度を、あらかじめ測定した男性健常者または女性健常者のオートタキシン濃度で補正して得られるオートタキシン指数を用いて膵疾患を検査すると、男女の性差を考慮しなくて済む点で好ましい。なお、測定したヒト検体中のオートタキシン濃度を補正するのに用いる、男性健常者または女性健常者のオートタキシン濃度は、男性健常者または女性健常者のオートタキシン濃度測定値の平均値であってもよいし、中央値であってもよいし、95パーセンタイル上限値であってもよい。オートタキシン指数は、オートタキシン濃度をリゾホスホリパーゼD活性に基づき測定した場合には、lysoPLD indexとし、オートタキシン濃度を免疫学的定量試薬で測定する場合には、ATX indexとする。以下の実施例2及び実施例3において記載されるように、免疫学的定量試薬で測定したオートタキシン濃度とリゾホスホリパーゼD活性とは極めて高い相関性を有することから、lyspoPLD indexとATX indexとは同視することができる。   There is a significant difference between male autotaxin concentrations and female autotaxin concentrations (Japanese Patent Application No. 2009-298048). Therefore, when pancreatic disease is examined using the autotaxin index obtained by correcting the autotaxin concentration in a measured human sample with the autotaxin concentration of a normal male or female healthy subject, the gender difference between men and women is considered. This is preferable in that it does not have to be performed. In addition, the autotaxin concentration of healthy males or healthy females used to correct the autotaxin concentration in the measured human sample is the average value of the measured autotaxin concentrations of healthy males or healthy females. Or a median value or a 95th percentile upper limit value. The autotaxin index is lysoPLD index when the autotaxin concentration is measured based on lysophospholipase D activity, and is ATX index when the autotaxin concentration is measured with an immunological quantitative reagent.

実施例1:健常者検体のオートタキシン濃度の定量
患者検体測定に先立ち、コントロール群として健常者血清のオートタキシン濃度を測定した。血液は採血7日前より投薬のない健常な成人ボランティアからインフォームドコンセントを得た後、肘前中静脈より採取し、室温15分放置後、1500×gにて5分間遠心分離することにより血清を取得し測定した。
Example 1: Quantification of autotaxin concentration in healthy subject specimen Prior to patient specimen measurement, autotaxin concentration in healthy subject serum was measured as a control group. After obtaining informed consent from healthy adult volunteers who have not taken medication 7 days before blood collection, blood is collected from the middle antecubital vein, left at room temperature for 15 minutes, and then centrifuged at 1500 × g for 5 minutes to obtain serum. Acquired and measured.

男性74名(23歳から65歳)、女性46名(21歳から60歳)の健常者血清中のオートタキシン濃度を自動免疫測定装置にて実施した。120名全員のオートタキシン濃度測定値は0.731±0.176mg/L(算術平均値±標準偏差)であり、95パーセンタイルからなる参考基準範囲は0.468mg/Lから1.134mg/Lであった。なお、男性健常者のオートタキシン測定値は0.656±0.121mg/L、中央値0.641mg/L、95パーセンタイル参考基準範囲0.438mg/Lから0.914mg/Lであり、女性健常者のオートタキシン測定値は0.852±0.184mg/L、中央値0.820mg/L、95パーセンタイル参考基準範囲0.625mg/Lから1.323mg/Lであった。   The concentration of autotaxin in the serum of 74 males (23 to 65 years old) and 46 females (21 to 60 years old) was measured with an automatic immunoassay device. The measured autotaxin concentration of all 120 people is 0.731 ± 0.176 mg / L (arithmetic mean ± standard deviation), and the reference standard range consisting of 95th percentile is 0.468 mg / L to 1.134 mg / L there were. In addition, the autotaxin measurement value of a healthy male person is 0.656 ± 0.121 mg / L, the median value is 0.641 mg / L, and the 95th percentile reference standard range is 0.438 mg / L to 0.914 mg / L. The measured value of autotaxin was 0.852 ± 0.184 mg / L, the median value was 0.820 mg / L, and the 95th percentile reference standard range was 0.625 mg / L to 1.323 mg / L.

実施例2:健常者検体のリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定
実施例1と同一検体のリゾホスホリパーゼD活性を測定した。120名全員のリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値は3.56±0.80nmol/(L・min)(算術平均値±標準偏差)であり、中央値3.46nmol/(L・min)、95パーセンタイルからなる参考基準範囲は3.28nmol/(L・min)から3.55nmol/(L・min)であった。実施例1で測定したオートタキシン定量値との相関性は相関係数r=0.946と極めて良好であり、免疫測定によるオートタキシン濃度とリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値とはともに同等の診断が可能なことを示している(図1)。なお、男性健常者のリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値は3.18±0.55nmol/(L・min)、中央値3.17nmol/(L・min)、95パーセンタイル参考基準範囲2.97nmol/(L・min)から3.32nmol/(L・min)であり、女性健常者のリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値は4.15±0.79nmol/(L・min)、中央値4.00nmol/(L・min)、95パーセンタイル参考基準範囲3.80nmol/(L・min)から4.48nmol/(L・min)であった(図2)。女性血清中リゾホスホリパーゼD活性は男性に比べ明らかに高濃度であり、Mann−Whitney U testではP<0.0001の有意差を示した。
Example 2: Measurement of lysophospholipase D activity in healthy subject specimens Lysophospholipase D activity in the same specimens as in Example 1 was measured. The measured value of lysophospholipase D activity of all 120 people was 3.56 ± 0.80 nmol / (L · min) (arithmetic mean ± standard deviation), the median was 3.46 nmol / (L · min), from the 95th percentile. The reference standard range was 3.28 nmol / (L · min) to 3.55 nmol / (L · min). The correlation with the autotaxin quantitative value measured in Example 1 is very good, with a correlation coefficient r = 0.946, and both the autotaxin concentration by immunoassay and the lysophospholipase D activity measurement value can be diagnosed equally. (FIG. 1). The measured lysophospholipase D activity of healthy males was 3.18 ± 0.55 nmol / (L · min), median 3.17 nmol / (L · min), 95th percentile reference standard range 2.97 nmol / (L Min) to 3.32 nmol / (L · min). The measured value of lysophospholipase D activity of healthy female subjects is 4.15 ± 0.79 nmol / (L · min), and the median is 4.00 nmol / (L · min). min), the 95th percentile reference standard range from 3.80 nmol / (L · min) to 4.48 nmol / (L · min) (FIG. 2). The lysophospholipase D activity in female serum was clearly higher than that in males, and Mann-Whitney U test showed a significant difference of P <0.0001.

図2の結果からも分かるように検体測定時には男女の性差を考慮する必要があった。そこで以降の評価は、検体測定値を男女それぞれの平均値である3.18nmol/(L・min)(男性)または4.15nmol/(L・min)(女性)で除する(リゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値[nmol/(L・min)]÷男性健常者または女性健常者平均値[nmol/(L・min)])ことで男女性差を補正したオートタキシン指数(lysoPLD index)を用い実施した。性差補正後のそれぞれのlysoPLD index分布は、男性健常者においては1.001±0.173、中央値0.995、95パーセンタイル参考基準範囲0.930から1.040であった。一方、女性健常者においては1.002±0.189、中央値0.965、95パーセンタイル参考基準範囲0.912から1.050であった(図3)。   As can be seen from the results in FIG. 2, it was necessary to consider the sex difference between men and women when measuring samples. Therefore, in the subsequent evaluation, the sample measurement value is divided by the average value of 3.18 nmol / (L · min) (male) or 4.15 nmol / (L · min) (female) for each gender (lysophospholipase D activity). The measured value [nmol / (L · min)] ÷ average value of healthy males or healthy females [nmol / (L · min)]) was used, and the autotaxin index (lysoPLD index) corrected for male and female differences was used. The respective lysoPLD index distribution after sex difference correction was 1.001 ± 0.173, median 0.995, and 95th percentile reference standard range 0.930 to 1.040 in healthy male subjects. On the other hand, it was 1.002 ± 0.189, the median value was 0.965, and the 95th percentile reference standard range was 0.912 to 1.050 in healthy female subjects (FIG. 3).

実施例3:膵疾患患者血清中のオートタキシン濃度とリゾホスホリパーゼD活性値
膵疾患患者の血清中のオートタキシン濃度とリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値とを測定し検証した。検体は膵臓癌患者検体9例と非癌膵疾患2例、計11例用いた。測定した11検体における血清中のオートタキシン濃度とリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値との相関性はr=0.983と非常に良好な相関性を示した(図4)。また図4より得られた相関式は、
オートタキシン濃度[μg/L]=
2.163×リゾホスホリパーゼD活性[nmol/(L・min)]+0.0654
であり、健常者(図1)における相関式、
オートタキシン濃度[μg/L]=
2.072×リゾホスホリパーゼD活性[nmol/(L・min)]−0.0057
と大きな差が認められなかった。よって、健常者同様、膵疾患を評価する際にも、オートタキシン濃度とリゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値、いずれを用いても問題ないことがわかる。
Example 3: Autotaxin concentration and lysophospholipase D activity level in pancreatic disease patient serum The autotaxin concentration and lysophospholipase D activity measurement value in the serum of pancreatic disease patients were measured and verified. A total of 11 specimens were used, 9 specimens from pancreatic cancer patients and 2 non-cancer pancreatic diseases. The correlation between the serum autotaxin concentration and the measured lysophospholipase D activity in 11 measured samples showed a very good correlation with r = 0.983 (FIG. 4). The correlation equation obtained from FIG.
Autotaxin concentration [μg / L] =
2.163 × lysophospholipase D activity [nmol / (L · min)] + 0.0654
And a correlation formula in a healthy person (FIG. 1),
Autotaxin concentration [μg / L] =
2.072 × lysophospholipase D activity [nmol / (L · min)] − 0.0057
There was no significant difference. Therefore, it can be seen that, as in healthy individuals, there is no problem in using either autotaxin concentration or measured lysophospholipase D activity when evaluating pancreatic diseases.

実施例4:非癌膵疾患の診断
健常者120例および非癌膵疾患患者73例について血清中のリゾホスホリパーゼD活性を測定し、オートタキシン指数(lysoPLD index)を算出比較した。なお、非癌膵疾患患者は慢性膵炎、急性膵炎、膵嚢胞性疾患よりなる。結果、健常者のlysoPLD indexと比較し、非癌膵疾患患者のlysoPLD indexは有意に低値を示した(Mann−Whitney試験)。前記結果より、オートタキシン濃度、リゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値またはlysoPLD indexにより非癌膵疾患の診断が可能なことがわかる。
Example 4: Diagnosis of non-cancer pancreatic disease The serum lysophospholipase D activity was measured for 120 healthy subjects and 73 non-cancer pancreatic disease patients, and the autotaxin index (lysoPLD index) was calculated and compared. Non-cancer pancreatic disease patients consist of chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic cystic disease. As a result, the lysoPLD index of the non-cancer pancreatic disease patient was significantly lower than that of the healthy subject lysoPLD index (Mann-Whitney test). From the above results, it can be seen that non-cancer pancreatic disease can be diagnosed by autotaxin concentration, lysophospholipase D activity measurement value, or lysoPLD index.

実施例5:非癌膵疾患と膵臓癌の判別
膵臓癌患者103例および非癌膵疾患患者73例について血清リゾホスホリパーゼD活性を測定し、オートタキシン指数(lysoPLD index)を算出比較した。非癌膵疾患患者は慢性膵炎、急性膵炎、膵嚢胞性疾患よりなる。結果、膵臓癌患者のlysoPLD indexと比較し、非癌膵疾患患者のlysoPLD indexは有意に低値を示した(Mann−Whitney試験)。前記結果より、オートタキシン濃度、リゾホスホリパーゼD活性測定値またはlysoPLD indexにより膵疾患が疑われる患者において非癌膵疾患と膵臓癌の判別が可能なことがわかる。
Example 5: Discrimination between non-cancer pancreatic disease and pancreatic cancer Serum lysophospholipase D activity was measured for 103 pancreatic cancer patients and 73 non-cancer pancreatic disease patients, and the autotaxin index (lysoPLD index) was calculated and compared. Non-cancer pancreatic patients consist of chronic pancreatitis, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic cystic disease. As a result, compared with the lysoPLD index of the pancreatic cancer patient, the lysoPLD index of the non-cancer pancreatic disease patient showed a significantly low value (Mann-Whitney test). From the above results, it can be seen that non-cancer pancreatic disease and pancreatic cancer can be distinguished in patients suspected of having pancreatic disease by autotaxin concentration, lysophospholipase D activity measurement value or lysoPLD index.
