Résumé

Currently utilized serum tumor markers and fecal immunochemical tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to their low sensitivities. To establish non-invasive urinary protein biomarkers for early CRC diagnosis, we performed stepwise analyses employing urine samples from CRCs and healthy controls (HCs). Among 474 urine samples, 363 age- and sex-matched participants (188 HCs, 175 stage 0-III CRCs) were randomly divided into discovery (16 HCs, 16 CRCs), training (110 HCs, 110 CRCs), and validation (62 HCs, 49 CRCs) cohorts. Of the 23 urinary protein candidates comprehensively identified from mass spectrometry in the discovery cohort, urinary levels of dipeptidase 1 (uDPEP1) and Trefoil factor1 (uTFF1) were the two most significant diagnostic biomarkers for CRC in both training and validation cohorts using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A urinary biomarker panel comprising uDPEP1 and uTFF1 significantly distinguished CRCs from HCs, showing area under the curves of 0.825-0.956 for stage 0-III CRC and 0.792-0.852 for stage 0/I CRC. uDPEP1 and uTFF1 also significantly distinguished colorectal adenoma (CRA) patients from HCs, with uDPEP1 and uTFF1 increasing significantly in the order of HCs, CRA patients, and CRC patients. Moreover, expression levels of DPEP1 and TFF1 were also significantly higher in the serum and tumor tissues of CRC, compared to HCs and normal tissues, respectively. This study established a promising and non-invasive urinary protein biomarker panel, which enables the early detection of CRC with high sensitivity.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Currently utilized serum tumor markers and fecal immunochemical tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for colorectal cancer (CRC) due to their low sensitivities. To establish non-invasive urinary protein biomarkers for early CRC diagnosis, we performed stepwise analyses employing urine samples from CRCs and healthy controls (HCs).
METHODS METHODS
Among 474 urine samples, 363 age- and sex-matched participants (188 HCs, 175 stage 0-III CRCs) were randomly divided into discovery (16 HCs, 16 CRCs), training (110 HCs, 110 CRCs), and validation (62 HCs, 49 CRCs) cohorts.
RESULTS RESULTS
Of the 23 urinary protein candidates comprehensively identified from mass spectrometry in the discovery cohort, urinary levels of dipeptidase 1 (uDPEP1) and Trefoil factor1 (uTFF1) were the two most significant diagnostic biomarkers for CRC in both training and validation cohorts using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. A urinary biomarker panel comprising uDPEP1 and uTFF1 significantly distinguished CRCs from HCs, showing area under the curves of 0.825-0.956 for stage 0-III CRC and 0.792-0.852 for stage 0/I CRC. uDPEP1 and uTFF1 also significantly distinguished colorectal adenoma (CRA) patients from HCs, with uDPEP1 and uTFF1 increasing significantly in the order of HCs, CRA patients, and CRC patients. Moreover, expression levels of DPEP1 and TFF1 were also significantly higher in the serum and tumor tissues of CRC, compared to HCs and normal tissues, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
This study established a promising and non-invasive urinary protein biomarker panel, which enables the early detection of CRC with high sensitivity.
