Résumé

The identification of novel biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of gastric (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) is of paramount importance. TM9SF4 is a newly described V-ATPase interacting protein involved in the malignant progression of cancer cells. While TM9SF4 expression pattern and cellular localization have been described in In this study, we detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in tumor and surrounding healthy tissues TM9SF4, in comparison with clinically adopted biomarkers CEA and CA 19-9 to evaluate TM9SF4 potential as a novel tissue marker for early detection and monitoring of GC and CRC cancers. The expression of TM9SF4, CEA and CA 19-9 was evaluated in samples from 108 cancer patients (68 with GC and 40 CRC) and in healthy tissues from 20 non-cancer patients. Our results clearly suggest that TM9SF4 expression was significantly increased in GC and CRC samples and significantly correlated to disease stage in both cancer types. We propose TM9SF4 as highly specific cancer biomarker, exploitable for disease detection and staging of gastrointestinal cancers patients, with tumor tissue levels of expression outperforming those of clinically adopted markers such as CEA and CA 19-9.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The identification of novel biomarkers for the early detection and monitoring of gastric (GC) and colorectal cancer (CRC) is of paramount importance. TM9SF4 is a newly described V-ATPase interacting protein involved in the malignant progression of cancer cells. While TM9SF4 expression pattern and cellular localization have been described in
METHODS METHODS
In this study, we detected by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in tumor and surrounding healthy tissues TM9SF4, in comparison with clinically adopted biomarkers CEA and CA 19-9 to evaluate TM9SF4 potential as a novel tissue marker for early detection and monitoring of GC and CRC cancers.
RESULTS RESULTS
The expression of TM9SF4, CEA and CA 19-9 was evaluated in samples from 108 cancer patients (68 with GC and 40 CRC) and in healthy tissues from 20 non-cancer patients. Our results clearly suggest that TM9SF4 expression was significantly increased in GC and CRC samples and significantly correlated to disease stage in both cancer types.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
We propose TM9SF4 as highly specific cancer biomarker, exploitable for disease detection and staging of gastrointestinal cancers patients, with tumor tissue levels of expression outperforming those of clinically adopted markers such as CEA and CA 19-9.
