Plasma immune analytes in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer

Cytokine

Abstract

Inflammation is a common feature of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and measurement of plasma markers of inflammation might identify candidate markers for use in screening or presurgical evaluation of patients with adnexal masses. Plasma specimens from cohorts of 100 patients with advanced EOC (AJCC Stage III and IV), 50 patients with early stage EOC (Stage I and II), and 50 patients with benign surgical conditions were assayed for concentrations of multiple cytokines, toll-like receptor agonists, and vascular growth factors via ELISA and electrochemiluminescence. Immune proteins were then analyzed for association with EOC. Differences in plasma protein levels between benign, early, and advanced EOC patient groups were assessed with and without adjustment for plasma cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels. Out of 23 proteins tested, six-including interferon gamma (IFNγ), interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), and placental growth factor (PlGF)-were univariately associated with EOC (all p<0.005), and one-IL-6-was associated with early stage EOC (p<0.0001). Heat shock protein 90kDa beta member 1 (HSP90B1, gp96) was associated with EOC and early stage EOC with borderline statistical significance (p=0.03...Continue Reading
