Detection of serum protein biomarkers by surface enhanced laser desorption/ionization in patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung (CAT#: STEM-ST-0361-LJX)

Introduction

Early diagnosis of lung cancer is important for successful treatment and improving the outcome of patients. We explored novel tools for screening serum biomarkers to distinguish adenocarcinoma of the lung from healthy controls by serum protein profiles.
Serum samples were taken from 31 patients with adenocarcinoma of the lung and 31 healthy controls, matched for age, sex and smoking status. Serum samples were applied to strong anion 2(SAX-2) protein chips to generate mass spectra by surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (SELDI-TOF-MS). Protein peak identification and clustering were performed using Biomarker Wizard, compared by MATLAB 7.5 and a classification tree was constructed using R weka software. The validity of the classification tree was then challenged with a blind test.

Principle

The surface enhanced laser desorption ionization technique belongs to laser desorption mass spectrometry (LDMS). It is different from ordinary LDMS in that the laser is not directly hit on the sample to desorption, but the sample is suspended in the matrix, the laser is hit on the matrix, the matrix absorbs and transmits the laser energy, so that the sample in the matrix desorption out. After desorption and ionization, the samples were examined in a time-flight mass spectrometer.

Applications

For protein analysis and measurement of molecular weight of complete proteins
For the diagnosis of a variety of diseases, especially cancer

Procedure

1. The surface of the protein chip is treated in a certain chemical or biochemical way (surface enhancement), so that it has the ability to bind specifically to a certain type of protein
2. The serum or protein extract is directly added to the surface of the chip, and the chip is washed after incubation. Specific proteins bind to the chip and are thus separated from the protein mixture
3. The chip then uses a "chip reader" (a kind of SELDI-TOF-MS) to obtain a mass spectrum of the protein bound to the chip
4. The SELDI protein chip system can be used to compare changes in the protein profile of any set of control samples or different disease states to identify biomarkers or disease-related targets
