Abstract
Background
Finding markers of breast cancer that are strong specificity and high.
Sensitivity is important. The expression of phosphatidylinositol U(PIGU) protein is increased in a variety of tumor cells, but the role of its secreted fragment in breast cancer is lacking. Methods: Differential expression analysis was performed in breast cancer patients by bioinformatics method. Univariate survival analysis and ROC curve plotting were used to explore the correlation between serum PIGU and the prognosis of breast cancer patients. ELISA was used to detect serum PIGU level. Electrochemiluminescence immunoassay was used to determine serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen-153(CA153) and carbohydrate antigen-125 (CA125) levels. Results: The expression level of PIGU protein in breast cancer tumor tissues was higher than that in normal tissues, and PIGU expression level was a prognostic risk factor for breast cancer patients (HR > 1, p < 0.05) and had good predictive power (AUC = 0.8941). Compared with healthy individuals, the serum PIGU level of breast cancer patients was significantly highly expressed (p < 0.01), and the serum PIGU expression level was weakly positively correlated with CEA (r = 0.3270), but not significantly correlated with CA153 and CA125 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: PIGU has the potential to be a predictive prognostic marker for breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
The Official Journal of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC)
Clinica Chimica Acta is a high-quality journal which publishes original Research Communications in the field of clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, defined as the diagnostic application of chemistry, biochemistry, immunochemistry, biochemical aspects of hematology, toxicology, and molecular biology to the study of human disease in body fluids and cells.
The objective of the journal is to publish novel information leading to a better understanding of biological mechanisms of human diseases, their prevention, diagnosis, and patient management. Reports of an applied clinical character are also welcome. Papers concerned with normal metabolic processes or with constituents of normal cells or body fluids, such as reports of experimental or clinical studies in animals, are only considered when they are clearly and directly relevant to human disease. Evaluation of commercial products have a low priority for publication, unless they are novel or represent a technological breakthrough. Studies dealing with effects of drugs and natural products and studies dealing with the redox status in various diseases are not within the journal''s scope. Development and evaluation of novel analytical methodologies where applicable to diagnostic clinical chemistry and laboratory medicine, including point-of-care testing, and topics on laboratory management and informatics will also be considered. Studies focused on emerging diagnostic technologies and (big) data analysis procedures including digitalization, mobile Health, and artificial Intelligence applied to Laboratory Medicine are also of interest.
