Comparison of two multiplexed technologies for profiling >1,000 serum proteins that may associate with tumor burden [version 1; peer review: 2 approved, 1 approved with reservations]

Background: In this pilot study, we perform a preliminary comparison of two targeted multiplex proteomics technologies for discerning serum protein concentration changes that may correlate to tumor burden in ovarian cancer (OC) patients. Methods: Using the proximity extension assay (PEA) and Quantib...

Methods: Using the proximity extension assay (PEA) and Quantibody® Kiloplex Array (QKA), we measured >1,000 proteins in the pre-surgical and post-surgical serum from nine OC patients (N=18 samples). We expect that proteins that have decreased significantly in the post-surgical serum concentration may correlate to tumor burden in each patient. Duplicate sera from two healthy individuals were used as controls (N=4 samples). We employed in-house ELISAs to measure five proteins with large serum concentration changes in pre- and post-surgical sera, from four of the original nine patients and the two original controls. Results: Both platforms showed a weak correlation with clinical cancer antigen 125 (CA125) data. The two multiplexed platforms showed a significant correlation with each other for >400 overlapping proteins. PEA uncovered 15 proteins, while QKA revealed 11 proteins, with more than a two-fold post-surgical decrease in at least six of the nine patients. Validation using single enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) showed at least a two-fold post-surgical decrease in serum concentration of the same patients, as indicated by the two multiplex assays. Conclusion: Both methods identified proteins that had significantly decreased in post-surgical serum concentration, as well as recognizing proteins that had been implicated in OC patients. Our findings from a limited sample size suggest that novel targeted proteomics platforms are promising tools for identifying candidate serological tumor-related proteins.  However further studies are essential for the improvement of accuracy and avoidance of false results.Annie RenIoannis PrassasVijithan SugumarAntoninus SoosaipillaiMarcus BernardiniEleftherios P DiamandisVathany KulasingamF1000 Research LtdarticleMedicineRScienceQENF1000Research, Vol 10 (2021)
