Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of cancer detection. More specifically, the invention provides an effective method for the detection of circulating breast cancer cells in lymph node negative patients.
  • Tumor size, histologic grading, node involvement, and estrogen receptor status of the tumor are the most widely accepted and widely used indicators employed to assess the probability of tumor recurrence and the need for adjuvant therapy.
  • Other markers such as tumor epidermal growth factor receptor, tumor c-erbB-2 level, and tumor angiogenesis, are also used (1) .
  • tumor epidermal growth factor receptor tumor c-erbB-2 level
  • tumor angiogenesis tumor angiogenesis
  • Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. Since there is no effective way to prevent this cancer, early diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of these patients is necessary. Recently, a new assay has been employed for detecting circulating metastatic prostate cancer cells. These cells produce a protein, prostate specific antigen (PSA) , which is detected by reverse transcription (RT) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) encoding the antigen (2-5, 30) .
  • PSA prostate specific antigen
  • RT reverse transcription
  • PCR polymerase chain reaction
  • PSA is produced by the prostate gland only, and therefore only expressed in men.
  • PSA levels in breast tumors were examined using a sensitive immunoassay that was capable of detecting PSA at levels of 0.05 ⁇ g/L or higher.
  • the clinical potential of PSA as a prognostic indicator of recurring breast cancer was explored using this same immunological assay in serum rather than tumor tissue (9) .
  • Serum PSA levels were compared in women with and without breast cancer, between women with PSA-positive and PSA-negative breast cancer and between women with breast cancer before and after surgical removal of the tumor. The data showed that in women over 50 years of age, serum PSA levels did not vary significantly between normal and breast cancer patients. Furthermore, differences were not observed in pre-surgical and post-surgical serum PSA in women with PSA-positive or PSA-negative breast cancer.
  • a polynucleotide amplification assay for PSA-encoding nucleic acids, particularly mRNA, in a blood sample accurately detects circulating breast cancer cells in approximately one-third of the population tested. This proportion reflects the proportion of women expected to possess significant amounts of PSA based on immunological analyses of breast tumors.
  • the success of detecting PSA- encoding nucleic acids from blood samples leads also to the expectation that other antigens associated with breast cancer cells can be detected by polynucleotide amplification in a manner similar to the detection of PSA.
  • a method of detecting breast cancer micrometastases in a patient comprises obtaining a sample of polynucleotides from a patient's blood, and performing a polynucleotide amplification reaction (such as polymerase chain reaction) on the sample.
  • the polynucleotide amplification reaction is performed using nucleotides that specifically hybridize with sequences present in a predetermined polynucleotide encoding a characteristic determinent of breast cancer cells, under conditions causing amplification of the selected polynucleotide. Thereafter, the presence and quantity of amplification products of the predetermined polynucleotide is detected.
  • the term “characteristic determinant” refers to substances such as antigens, haptens and other complex molecules (e.g., carbohydrates, glycoproteins, etc.), which are associated with a cell type of interest.
  • the term “predetermined” denotes that a particular characteristic determinant is known to be associated with breast cancer cells.
  • PSA is a characteristic determinant of breast cancer cells in approximately 30% of breast cancers.
  • polynucleotide generally refers to RNA, specifically mRNA, but is also intended to include DNA.
  • predetermined polynucleotide refers to a polynucleotide that encodes a characteristic determinant of breast cancer cells.
  • the method comprises the detection of mRNA encoding PSA from the blood of a breast cancer patient.
  • An RNA sample is obtained from the patient's blood and the PSA-specific RNA is reverse transcribed and then amplified using a pair of primers which are complementary to separate regions of the PSA DNA. After amplification, the presence or absence of amplified DNA is detected, wherein the presence of amplified DNA indicates micrometastasis of PSA-expressing breast cancer cells.
  • RT- PCR is used to amplify the target polynucleotide.
  • any polynucleotide amplification method known in the art may be employed.
  • the method entails pretreating blood cells from a patient with compounds that induce PSA production. Enhancing production of PSA mRNA prior to the RT-PCR amplification step increases the sensitivity of the assay.
  • steroid hormones capable of inducing PSA production may be administered to the patient for a suitable period prior to obtaining the blood sample.
  • Characteristic determinants for breast cancer cells other than PSA may be detected with the above mentioned methodology. These include, but are not limited to, estrogen receptor (ER) , progesterone receptor (PR) (20) , epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) (21) , Bcl-2 (22) , and erbB-2 protein (23) . These antigens are all associated with breast cancer cells, so the polynucleotides encoding these proteins are expected to be detectable with the same assays.

Abstract

Cette invention porte sur un procédé efficace de détection de la circulation de cellules du cancer du sein. L'observation établissant qu'un tiers des cellules du cancer du sein produisent un antigène spécifique du prostatique (PSA) a conduit à une réalisation préférée de l'essai clinique faisant intervenir un dosage de réaction de polymérisation en chaîne (PCR) de la transcriptase inverse (RT) utilisant des amorces oligonucléotidiques spécifiques d'acides nucléiques codant le PSA. On soumet à ce dosage, grâce auquel sont identifiées des cellules synthétisant le PSA à partir d'un acide ribonucléique messager transcrit inverse (ARNm), des ARN tirés du sang périphérique de patientes atteintes d'un cancer du sein, ce qui permet de déceler la présence d'une cellule du cancer du sein métastatique exprimant le PSA dans une dilution de cent mille leucocytes. L'invention a également trait à d'autres procédés d'amplification permettant de déceler un ARN messager du PSA ou, dans une variante, des acides nucléiques codant d'autres antigènes exprimés par des cellules du cancer du sein.
