A noninvasive biomarker with high diagnostic performance is urgently needed for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer (CRC).
To evaluate the diagnostic value of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) 2, 7 and 9 in urine for CRC.
Of 59 healthy controls, 47 patients with colon polyps and 82 patients with CRC were included in this study. Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) in serum and MMP2, MMP7, and MMP9 in urine were detected. The combined diagnostic model of the indicators was established by binary logistic regression. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of the subjects was used to evaluate the independent and combined diagnostic value of the indicators.
The MMP2, MMP7, MMP9, and CEA levels in the CRC group differed significantly from levels in the healthy controls ( < 0.05). The levels of MMP7, MMP9, and CEA also differed significantly between the CRC group and the colon polyps group ( < 0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) distinguishing between the healthy control and the CRC patients using the joint model with CEA, MMP2, MMP7 and MMP9 was 0.977, and the sensitivity and specificity were 95.10% and 91.50%, respectively. For early-stage CRC, the AUC was 0.975, and the sensitivity and specificity were 94.30% and 98.30%, respectively. For advanced stage CRC, the AUC was 0.979, and the sensitivity and specificity were 95.70% and 91.50%, respectively. Using CEA, MMP7 and MMP9 to jointly established a model distinguishing the colorectal polyp group from the CRC group, the AUC was 0.849, and the sensitivity and specificity were 84.10% and 70.20%, respectively. For early-stage CRC, the AUC was 0.818, and the sensitivity and specificity were 76.30% and 72.30%, respectively. For advanced stage CRC, the AUC was 0.875, and the sensitivity and specificity were 81.80% and 72.30%, respectively.
MMP2, MMP7 and MMP 9 may exhibit diagnostic value for the early detection of CRC and may serve as auxiliary diagnostic markers for CRC.
结直肠癌(CRC)的早期诊断迫切需要一种具有高诊断性能的非侵入性生物标志物。
评估尿液中基质金属蛋白酶(MMPs)2、7和9对CRC的诊断价值。
本研究纳入59名健康对照者、47名结肠息肉患者和82名CRC患者。检测血清中的癌胚抗原(CEA)以及尿液中的MMP2、MMP7和MMP9。通过二元逻辑回归建立指标的联合诊断模型。采用受试者工作特征曲线(ROC)评估各指标的独立诊断价值和联合诊断价值。
CRC组的MMP2、MMP7、MMP9和CEA水平与健康对照组相比差异有统计学意义(<0.05)。CRC组与结肠息肉组之间的MMP7、MMP9和CEA水平也有显著差异(<0.05)。使用CEA、MMP2、MMP7和MMP9的联合模型区分健康对照者和CRC患者时,曲线下面积(AUC)为0.977,敏感性和特异性分别为95.10%和91.50%。对于早期CRC,AUC为0.975,敏感性和特异性分别为94.30%和98.30%。对于晚期CRC,AUC为0.979,敏感性和特异性分别为95.70%和91.50%。使用CEA、MMP7和MMP9联合建立区分结肠息肉组和CRC组的模型,AUC为0.849,敏感性和特异性分别为84.10%和70.20%。对于早期CRC,AUC为0.818,敏感性和特异性分别为76.30%和72.30%。对于晚期CRC,AUC为0.875,敏感性和特异性分别为81.80%和72.30%。
MMP2、MMP7和MMP9可能对CRC的早期检测具有诊断价值,可作为CRC的辅助诊断标志物。
