Diagnostic value of 4 kinds of serum autoantibodies in nasopharyngeal carcinoma / 中华检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of 4 serum autoantibodies in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients (anti-Rho-GDI-2, -HSP70, -CK19 and -LAP3 antibodies) using a serological proteomic approach. Methods The conditions for blocking, antigen concentrations and serum dilution were optimized to establish the ELISA method for detection of serum autoantibodies for Rho-GDI-2, HSP70, CK19 and LAP3. The serum concentrations of these autoantibodies were detected by the established method in 36 NPC patients, 20 other cancer patients and 20 healthy individuals. The statistical analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of the 4 serum autoantibodies. Results The concentrations of 4 serum autoantibodies in the NPC patients were significantly higher than those in the healthy individuals(A450 values in NPC group of CK19, Rho-GDI-2, HSP70, LAP3 were 0. 188 8 ±0.047 3, 0.240 5 ± 0.024 7, 0. 116 8 ±0.025 3, 0.276 9 ±0.044 2 repectively. A450 values in healthy control group were 0.010 5 ±0.004 4, 0. 105 3 ±0. 016 9, 0. 098 6 ± 0. 014 0, 0. 149 8 ± 0. 033 1 respectively. F values were 4. 869, 15. 919, 10. 331,6. 369, respectively. P values were 0. 010, 0. 000, 0. 000, 0. 003, respectively). The sensitivities of antiRho-GDI-2, anti-HSP70, anti -CK19 and anti -LAP3 autoantibodies for diagnosis of NPC was 85.0%,75.0%, 75.0% and 75.0%, respectively, and the specificities were 58.9%, 80. 4%, 58. 9% and 57. 1%, respectively, anti-Rho-GDI-2 and anti-HSP70 achived the highest sensitivity and specificity respectively when single marker was analyzed. The sensitivity and specificity were 94. 4% and 95. 0%respectively when 4 markers was combined for analysis. Conclusion Detection of serum anti-Rbo-GDI-2,anti-HSP70, anti-CK19 and anti-IAP3 auotantibedios by ELISA may be of help in the screening and diagnosis for NPC.
