Abstract
Content: Identification of panel of SEREX-defined antigens for breast cancer autoantibodies profile detection.Objective: To create panel of antigens that can differentiate breast cancer patients and healthy individuals.Methods: SEREX (serological analysis of cDNA expression libraries) method, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), qPCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction).Results: In large-scale screening of 16 SEREX-antigens by sera of breast cancer patients and healthy donors, a combination of six antigens (RAD50, PARD3, SPP1, SAP30BP, NY-BR-62 and NY-CO-58) was identified, which can differentiate breast cancer patients and healthy donors with 70% sensitivity and 91% specificity. Elevated mRNA expression of SPP1 gene was revealed in breast tumors (2–7-fold) that correlated with SPP1 antigen immunoreactivity in autologous patients’ sera.Conclusions: The new panel of six SEREX-antigens was proposed, which enables creation of serological assay for breast cancer diagnostics and/or prognosis.
