Novel autoantibody signatures in sera of patients with pancreatic cancer, chronic pancreatitis and autoimmune pancreatitis: a protein microarray profiling approach

Identification of disease-associated autoantibodies is of high importance. Their assessment could complement current diagnostic modalities and assist the clinical management of patients. We aimed at developing and validating high-throughput protein microarrays able to screen patients’ sera...

Description
Summary:Identification of disease-associated autoantibodies is of high importance. Their assessment could complement current diagnostic modalities and assist the clinical management of patients. We aimed at developing and validating high-throughput protein microarrays able to screen patients’ sera to determine disease-specific autoantibody-signatures for pancreatic cancer (PDAC), chronic pancreatitis (CP), autoimmune pancreatitis and their subtypes (AIP-1 and AIP-2). In-house manufactured microarrays were used for autoantibody-profiling of IgG-enriched preoperative sera from PDAC-, CP-, AIP-1-, AIP-2-, other gastrointestinal disease (GID) patients and healthy controls. As a top-down strategy, three different fluorescence detection-based protein-microarrays were used: large with 6400, intermediate with 345, and small with 36 full-length human recombinant proteins. Large-scale analysis revealed 89 PDAC, 98 CP and 104 AIP immunogenic antigens. Narrowing the selection to 29 autoantigens using pooled sera first and individual sera afterwards allowed a discrimination of CP and AIP from PDAC. For validation, predictive models based on the identified antigens were generated which enabled discrimination between PDAC and AIP-1 or AIP-2 yielded high AUC values of 0.940 and 0.925, respectively. A new repertoire of autoantigens was identified and their assembly as a multiplex test will provide a fast and cost-effective tool for differential diagnosis of pancreatic diseases with high clinical relevance.
