    Toward Liquid Biopsy: Determination of the Humoral Immune Response in Cancer Patients Using HaloTag Fusion Protein-Modified Electrochemical Bioplatforms

    Autoantibodies raised against tumor-associated antigens have shown high promise as clinical biomarkers for reliable diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring of cancer. An electrochemical disposable biosensor for the specific and sensitive determination of p53-specific autoantibodies has been developed for the first time in this work. This biosensor involves the use of magnetic microcarriers (MBs) modified with covalently immobilized HaloTag fusion p53 protein as solid supports for the selective capture of specific autoantibodies. After magnetic capture of the modified MBs onto screen-printed carbon working electrodes, the amperometric signal using the system hydroquinone/H2O2 was related to the levels of p53-autoantibodies in the sample. The biosensor was applied for the analysis of sera from 24 patients with high-risk of developing colorectal cancer and 6 from patients already diagnosed with colorectal (4) and ovarian (2) cancer. The developed biosensor was able to determine p53 autoantibodies with a sensitivity higher than that of a commercial standard ELISA using a just-in-time produced protein in a simpler protocol with less sample volume and easily miniaturized and cost-effective instrumentation.

    Identification of tumor-associated antigens with diagnostic ability of colorectal cancer by in-depth immunomic and seroproteomic analysis
    (Journal of proteomics, 2020) Garranzo Asensio, María; San Segundo Acosta, Pablo; Povés Francés, Carmen; Fernández Aceñero, María Jesús; Martínez Useros, Javier; Montero Calle, Ana; Solís Fernández, Guillermo; Sánchez Martínez, Maricruz; Rodríguez Salas, Nuria; Cerón, María Ángeles; Fernández Díez, Servando; Domínguez Muñóz, Gemma; Ríos, Vivian de los; Peláez García, Alberto, Alberto; Guzmán Aránguez, Ana Isabel; Barderas Manchado, Rodrigo
    Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death worldwide. Its diagnosis at early stages would significantly improve the survival of CRC patients. The humoral immune response has been demonstrated useful for cancer diagnosis, predating clinical symptoms up to 3 years. Here, we employed an in-depth seroproteomic approach to identify proteins that elicit a humoral immune response in CRC patients. The seroproteomic approach relied on the immunoprecipitation with patient-derived autoantibodies of proteins from CRC cell lines with different metastatic properties followed by LC-MS/MS. After bioinformatics, we focused on 31 targets of CRC autoantibodies. After WB and IHC validation, ERP44 and TALDO1 showed potential to discriminate disease-free and metastatic CRC patients, and time to recurrence of CRC patients in stage II. Using plasma samples of 30 healthy individuals, 28 premalignant individuals, and 32 CRC patients, nine out of 13 selected targets for seroreactive analysis showed significant diagnostic ability to discriminate either CRC patients or premalignant subjects from controls. Our results suggest that the here defined panel of CRC autoantibodies and their target proteins should be included in CRC blood-based biomarker panels to get a clinically useful blood-based diagnostic signature for CRC detection. Significance: Colorectal cancer is one of the deadliest cancer types mainly due to its late diagnosis. Its early diagnosis, therefore, is of great importance since it would significantly improve the survival of CRC patients. In our work, the in-depth seroproteomic analysis of colorectal cancer using isolated IgGs from colorectal cancer patients and controls and protein extract of colorectal cancer cells provide the identification of valuable biomarkers with diagnostic and prognostic ability of the disease.
