Abstract
AbstractColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer in the world, yet the sensitivity and specificity of biomarkers for CRC diagnosis are insufficient. In the present study, we performed a protein microarray screening method to identify antibody markers for CRC. Inhibitor of growth family 1 (ING1) was identified as a candidate tumor antigen for CRC using protein microarrays (ProtoArray). Subsequent amplified luminescence proximity homogeneous assay-linked immunosorbent assay using recombinant ING1 protein showed that the serum levels of anti-ING1 antibodies were increased not only in patients with CRC but also in those with esophageal cancer (EC), gastric cancer (GC), breast cancer (BrC), and pancreatic cancer (PC) compared with those of healthy donors (HDs). Antibodies against the ING1 amino acids between 239 and 253 were present at significantly higher levels in patients with CRC than in those with EC, GC, BrC, or PC. Anti-ING1 antibody levels were significantly higher in the patients with CRC at any stages than in the HDs. Immunohistochemical staining revealed higher expression of ING1 protein in CRC cells than in the adjacent normal tissues. In luciferase reporter assays using a CRC cell line, ING1 augmented p53-mediated NOXA promoter activity but attenuated p53-stimulated Bax, p21, and PUMA promoter activities. Consequently, serum anti-ING1 antibodies can be used for sensitive and specific diagnoses of CRC.
