ABSTRACT

Lung cancer is a deadly disease, typically caused by known risk factors, such as tobacco smoke and asbestos exposure. By triggering cellular oxidative stress and altering the antioxidant pathways eliminating reactive oxygen species (ROS), tobacco smoke and asbestos predispose to cancer. Despite easily recognizable high-risk individuals, lung cancer screening and its early detection are hampered by poor diagnostic tools including the absence of proper biomarkers. This study aimed to recognize potential lung cancer biomarkers using induced sputum noninvasively collected from the lungs of individuals in risk of contracting lung cancer. Study groups composed of current and former smokers, who either were significantly asbestos exposed, had lung cancer, or were unexposed and asymptomatic. Screening of potential biomarkers was performed with 52, and five differentially abundant proteins, peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), thioredoxin (TXN), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1), and protein S100 A8 (S100A8), were chosen to undergo validation, for their previously known connection with oxidative stress or cancer. Results from the validation in 123 sputa showed that PRDX2, TXN, and GAPDH were differentially abundant in sputa from individuals with lung cancer. TXN had a negative correlation with asbestos exposure, yet a positive correlation with smoking and lung cancer. Thus, tobacco smoking, asbestos exposure, and lung carcinogenesis may disturb the cellular redox state in different ways. A strong correlation was found among PRDX2, TXN, GAPDH, and S100A8, suggesting that these proteins may present a diagnostic biomarker panel to aid recognizing individuals at high risk of contracting lung cancer.
