Abstract 3176: Improved colorectal cancer screening by new stool-based protein markers
2016
Background The fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is used in many countries for non-invasive screening for colorectal cancer (CRC), but its characteristics leave room for improvement. We aimed to identify novel stool-based protein markers in stool that outperform or complement hemoglobin in detecting CRC. Materials and methods A series of large scale proteomic discovery and validation was conducted on a total of 313 human stool specimens. A discovery set consisted of 22 stool specimens (12 CRC and 10 controls), and isolated proteins were analyzed by an in-dept mass spectrometry GeLC-MS/MS workflow. An external validation set consisted of 291 independent stool specimens (79 CRC, 40 advanced adenoma (AA), 43 nonadvanced adenoma (A) and 129 controls), and isolated proteins were analyzed by single-shot mass spectrometry (Q-Exactive). As proof of concept, commercially available meso scale discovery (MSD) assays were performed on an independent validation set of 72 FIT fluid samples set including 14 CRC, 16 AA, 18 A and 24 controls. Results Of the 468 human proteins quantified in the discovery set, 93 were significantly enriched in CRC vs controls (p Conclusion Proteome profiling on stool samples revealed 29 validated proteins significantly enriched in CRC samples compared to controls. A panel of 4 complementary protein markers outperformed hemoglobin for detection of CRC as well as AA. Proof of concept for detecting the proteins in FIT fluids confirmed the high potential of these markers for screening purposes in a non-invasive and cost-effective manner. Citation Format: Linda J.
