Abstract
Low molecular weight (LMW) peptides have been discovered that are indicative of colorectal cancer. Evaluating patient samples for the presence of such LMW peptides is an effective means of detecting colorectal cancer and monitoring the progression of the disease. The LMW peptides are particularly useful in detecting colorectal cancer during its early stages.
Description
BACKGROUND

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second most deadly cancer, causing approximately 500,000 deaths per year. Early detection is paramount to reducing the mortality associated with this disease. Yet, present screening methods are less than effective. Furthermore, present methods are time-consuming, costly and inconvenient for patients.


Colonoscopy is the most commonly used screening method. A variety of factors limit the effectiveness of this method, however. For example, changes in the colon are sometimes invisible during a colonoscopy, and biopsies must be taken during the procedure and examined under a microscope to detect cancerous or precancerous changes. Also, the method's accuracy depends on the experience of the practitioner. Thus, results from different colonoscopies can vary and precancerous changes may go undetected. Colonoscopy also causes patient discomfort and carries certain risks, such as bleeding or puncture of the lining of the colon.


Thus, there is a need for a quick, reliable, non-invasive test for colorectal cancer.


SUMMARY

In one embodiment, a method for detecting colorectal cancer in a patient comprises obtaining a biological sample from the patient and evaluating the sample or a fraction of the sample for the presence of at least one biomarker selected from the group of peptides having the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1-388, wherein the presence of said at least one biomarker is indicative of colorectal cancer. In another, the methods involve evaluating the sample for the presence of a biomarker selected from the group of peptides having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 176-388. In another embodiment, the methods comprise evaluating the sample for the presence of peptides having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 176, 177, and 234.


In one aspect, the colorectal cancer is in early stage, such as stage T1 or T2. The biological sample can be, for example, blood, serum or plasma. In another, the evaluation step comprises assays such as mass spectrometry, an immunoassay such as ELISA, immuno-mass spectrometry or suspension bead array.


In another embodiment, the method further comprises, prior to the evaluation step, harvesting low molecular weight peptides from the biological sample to generate at least one fraction comprising the peptides. In one embodiment, the size of the low molecular weight peptides is less than 50 KDa, preferably less than 25 KDa, and more preferably less than 15 KDa. In another aspect, the method also comprises digesting the low molecular weight peptides. Such digestion can be accomplished using enzymatic or chemical means. In one example, trypsin can be used to digest the peptides.


In another aspect, a method for monitoring the progression of colorectal cancer in a patient comprises (i) obtaining a biological sample from the patient, (ii) evaluating the sample or a fraction of the sample for the presence of at least one biomarker selected from the group of peptides having the sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1-388, wherein the presence of said at least one biomarker is indicative of colorectal cancer, and optionally, repeating steps (i) and (ii) as necessary. In another, the methods involve evaluating the sample for the presence of a biomarker selected from the group of peptides having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 176-388. In another embodiment, the methods comprise evaluating the sample for the presence of peptides having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NOs: 176, 177, and 234. In one embodiment, the method further comprises a step of harvesting low molecular weight peptides from the sample to generate at least one fraction comprising the peptides.


In other aspects, the invention relates to antibodies specific for identified biomarkers for colorectal cancer, as well as kits for detecting colorectal cancer in a patient, comprising at least one such antibody.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Low molecular weight (LMW) peptides have been discovered that are indicative of colorectal cancer. Evaluating patient samples for the presence of such LMW peptides is an effective means of detecting colorectal cancer and monitoring the progression of the disease, for example during treatment. The LMW peptides are particularly useful in detecting colorectal cancer during its early stages.


The LMW peptides, or biomarkers, can be detected using a variety of methods known in the art. For example, antibodies can be utilized in immunoassays to detect the presence of a biomarker. Exemplary immunoassays include, e.g., ELISA, radioimmunoassay, immunofluorescent assay, “sandwich” immunoassay, western blot, immunoprecipitation assay and immunoelectrophoresis assays. In other examples, beads, microbeads, arrays, microarrays, etc. can be applied in detecting the LMW peptides. Exemplary assays that can be used include suspension bead assays (Schwenk et al., “Determination of binding specificities in highly multiplexed bead-based assays for antibody proteomics,” Mol. Cell Proteomics, 6(1): 125-132 (2007)), antibody microarrays (Borrebaeck et al., “High-throughput proteomics using antibody microarrays: an update,” Expert Rev. Mol. Diagn. 7(5): 673-686 (2007)), aptamer arrays (Walter et al., “High-throughput protein arrays: prospects for molecular diagnostics,” Trends Mol. Med. 8(6): 250-253 (2002)), affybody arrays (Renberg et al., “Affibody molecules in protein capture microarrays: evaluation of multidomain ligands and different detection formats,” J. Proteome Res. 6(1): 171-179 (2007)), and reverse phase arrays (VanMeter et al., “Reverse-phase protein microarrays: application to biomarker discorvery and translational medicine,” Expert Rev. Mol. Diagn. 7(5): 625-633 (2007)). The referenced publications are hereby incorporated by reference.


In another example, the inventive biomarkers can be detected using mass spectrometry (MS). One example of this approach is tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which involves multiple steps of mass selection or analysis, usually separated by some form of fragmentation. Most such assays use electrospray ionization followed by two stages of mass selection: a first stage (MS1) selecting the mass of the intact analyte (parent ion) and, after fragmentation of the parent by collision with gas atoms, a second stage (MS2) selecting a specific fragment of the parent, collectively generating a selected reaction monitoring assay. In one embodiment, collision-induced dissociation is used to generate a set of fragments from a specific peptide ion. The fragmentation process primarily gives rise to cleavage products that break along peptide bonds. Because of the simplicity in fragmentation, the observed fragment masses can be compared to a database of predicted masses for known peptide sequences. A number of different algorithmic approaches have been described to identify peptides and proteins from tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data, including peptide fragment fingerprinting (SEQUEST, MASCOT, OMSSA and X!Tandem), peptide de novo sequencing (PEAKS, LuteFisk and Sherenga) and sequence tag based searching (SPIDER, GutenTAG).


Likewise, multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) can be used to identify the inventive biomarkers in patient samples. This technique applies the MS/MS approach to, for example, tryptic digests of the input sample, followed by selected ion partitioning and sampling using MS to objectify and discreetize the analyte if interest by following the exact m/z ion of the tryptic fragment that represents the analyte. Such an approach can be performed in multiplex so that multiple ions can be measured at once, providing an antibody-free method for analyte measurement. See, e.g. Andersen et al., “Quantitative mass spectrometric multiple reaction monitoring assays for major plasma proteins,” Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 5.4: 573-588 (2006); Whiteaker et al., “Integrated pipeline for mass spectrometry-based discorvery and confirmation of biomarkers demonstrated in a mouse model of breast cancer,” J. Proteome Res. 6(10): 3962-75 (2007). Both publications are incorporated herein by reference.


In another example, the inventive biomarkers can be detected using nanoflow reverse-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. See, e.g., Domon B, Aebersold R. “Mass spectrometry and protein analysis.” Science, 312(5771):212-7(2006), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Using this approach, experimentalists obtain peptide fragments, usually by trypsin digest, and generate mass spectrograms of the fragments, which are then compared to a database, such as SEQUEST, for protein identification.


In another aspect, the inventive biomarkers can be detected using immuno-mass spectrometry. See, e.g., Liotta L et al. “Serum peptidome for cancer detection: spinning biologic trash into diagnostic gold.” J Clin Invest.,116(1):26-30 (2006); Nedelkov, “Mass spectrometry-based immunoassays for the next phase of clinical applications,” Expert Rev. Proteomics, 3(6): 631-640 (2006), which are hereby incorporated by reference. Immuno-mass spectrometry provides a means for rapidly determining the exact size and identity of a peptide biomarker isoform present within a patient sample. When developed as a high throughput diagnostic assay, a drop of patient's blood, serum or plasma can be applied to a high density matrix of microcolumns or microwells filled with a composite substratum containing immobilized polyclonal antibodies, directed against the peptide marker. All isoforms of the peptide that contain the epitope are captured. The captured population of analytes including the analyte fragments are eluted and analyzed directly by a mass spectrometer such as MALDI-TOF MS. The presence of the specific peptide biomarker at its exact mass/charge (m/z) location would be used as a diagnostic test result. The analysis can be performed rapidly by simple software that determines if a series of ion peaks are present at defined m/z locations.


In yet another example, the inventive biomarkers can be detected using standard immunoassay-based approaches whereby fragment specific antibodies are used to measure and record the presence of the diagnostic fragments. See, e.g., Naya et al. “Evaluation of precursor prostate-specific antigen isoform ratios in the detection of prostate cancer.” Urol Oncol. 23(1):16-21 (2005). Moreover, additional well known immunoassays, such as ELISAs (Maeda et al., “Blood tests for asbestos-related mesothelioma,” Oncology 71: 26-31 (2006)), microfluidic ELISAs (Lee et al., “Microfluidic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology,” Adv. Clin. Chem. 42: 255-259 (2006)), nanocantilever immunoassays (Kurosawa et al., “Quartz crystal microbalance immunosensors for environmental monitoring,” Biosens Bioelectron, 22(4): 473-481 (2006)), and plasmon resonance immunoassays (Nedelkov, “Development of surface Plasmon resonance mass spectrometry array platform,” Anal. Chem. 79(15): 5987-5990 (2007)) can be employed. The referenced publications are hereby incorporated by reference.


In a further example, the inventive biomarkers can be detected using electrochemical approaches. See, e.g., Lin et al., “Electrochemical immunosensor for carcinoembryonic antigen based on antigen immobilization in gold nanoparticles modified chitosan membrane,” Anal. Sci. 23(9): 1059-1063 (2007).


In one embodiment, the LMW peptides are harvested from a biological sample prior to the evaluation step. For example, 100 μl of serum can be mixed with 2×SDS-PAGE Laemmli Buffer (containing 200 mM DTT), boiled for 10 minutes, and loaded on Prep Cell (Model 491 Prep Cell, Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA) comprising a 5 cm length 10% acrylamide gel. Electrophoresis is performed under a constant voltage of 250V. Immediately after the bromophenol blue indicator dye is eluted from the system, LMW peptides and proteins migrate out of the gel and are trapped in a dialysis membrane in the elution chamber. These molecules can be eluted at a flow rate of 400 ml/min by a buffer with the same composition of the Tris-Glycine running buffer and collected for 10 minutes in one fraction.


Alternatively, LMW peptides can be harvested using from a sample using a capture-particle that comprises a molecular sieve portion and an analyte binding portion as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/527,727, filed Sep. 27, 2006, which is hereby incorporated by reference. Briefly, either the molecular sieve portion or the analyte binding portion or both comprise a cross-linked region having modified porosity, or pore dimensions sufficient to exclude high molecular weight molecules.


In another embodiment, the LMW peptides are digested prior to detection, so as to reduce the size of the peptides. Such digestion can be carried out using standard methods well known in the field. Exemplary treatments, include but are not limited to, enzymatic and chemical treatments. Such treatments can yield partial as well as complete digestions. One example of an enzymatic treatment is a trypsin digestion.


The inventive biomarkers are particularly useful in detecting colorectal cancer during its early stages, i.e., prior to metastasis and large tumor volume (e.g. greater than 2 cm).


Antibodies specific for the inventive biomarkers can be produced readily using well known methods in the art. See, e.g. J. Sambrook, E. F. Fritsch and T. Maniatis, Molecular Cloning, a Laboratory Manual, second edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, pp. 18.7-18.18, 1989). For example, the inventive biomarkers can be prepared readily using an automated peptide synthesizer. Next, injection of an immunogen, such as (peptide)n-KLH (n=1-30) in complete Freund's adjuvant, followed by two subsequent injections of the same immunogen suspended in incomplete Freund's adjuvant into immunocompetent animals, is followed three days after an i.v. boost of antigen, by spleen cell harvesting. Harvested spleen cells are then fused with Sp2/0-Ag14 myeloma cells and culture supernatants of the resulting clones analyzed for anti-peptide reactivity using a direct-binding ELISA. Fine specificity of generated antibodies can be detected by using peptide fragments of the original immunogen.


In certain embodiments, one or more antibodies directed to the inventive biomarkers is provided in a kit, for use in a diagnostic method. Such kits also can comprise reagents, instructions and other products for performing the diagnostic method.


Examples
Example 1
Identification of Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer

Blood Collection and Serum Preparation


Blood samples were drawn from patients before the colonoscopy test under full Institutional Review Board approval and patient's consent. Specimens were collected in red-top Vacutainer Tubes and allowed to clot for 1 hour on ice, followed by centrifugation at 4° C. for 10 minutes at 2000 g. The serum supernatant was divided in aliquots and stored in −80° C. until needed. 10 serum samples with negative outcome were pooled in a single control group. 10 serum samples from patients with a diagnosed T1 or T2 stage colorectal cancer were pooled in a single disease group. Each experiment has been performed using 3 different aliquots from the same pool, both for the control and for the disease group.


Low Molecular Weight (LMW) Protein Harvesting by Continuous Elution Electrophoresis


100 μl of serum was mixed with 2×SDS-PAGE Laemmli Buffer (containing 200 mM DTT), boiled for 10 minutes, and loaded on Prep Cell (Model 491 Prep Cell, Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA) in which 5 cm length 10% acrylamide gel was polymerized. Electrophoresis was performed under a constant voltage of 250V. Immediately after the bromophenol blue indicator dye was eluted from the system, LMW peptides and proteins migrate out of the gel and are trapped in a dialysis membrane in the elution chamber. These molecules were eluted at a flow rate of 400 μl/min by a buffer with the same composition of the Tris-Glycine running buffer and collected for 10 minutes in one fraction.


SOS Removal from the Prep Cell Fractions


LMW fractions obtained by the Prep Cell were processed using a commercially available ion-exchange matrix (Proteo Spin Detergent Clean-Up Micro Kit, Norgen Biotek Corporation, Canada) following protocols outlined by the manufacturer for both acidic and basic proteins, resulting in a final volume of 55 μl.


Nanoflow Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography-Tandem MS (nanoRPLC-MS/MS)


The SDS-free LMW fractions obtained from the described procedure were analyzed by traditional bottom-up MS approaches. This was accomplished by treating the samples by reduction using 20 mM DTT, followed by alkylation using 100 mM iodoacetamide and lastly, trypsin digestion (Promega, Wis.) at 37° C. overnight in 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate in the presence of 1M urea in a final volume of 200 μl. Tryptic peptides were desalted by μC18 Zip Tip (Millipore, Mass.) and analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography nanospray tandem mass spectrometry using a linear ion-trap mass spectrometer (LTQ, ThermoElectron, San Jose, Calif.). Reverse phase column was slurry-packed in-house with 5 μm, 200 Å pore size C18 resin (Michrom BioResources, CA) in 100 μm i.d.×10 cm long fused silica capillary (Polymicro Technologies, Phoenix, Ariz.) with a laser-pulled tip. After sample injection, the column was washed for 5 min with mobile phase A (0.4% acetic acid, 0.005% heptafluorobutyric acid) and peptides were eluted using a linear gradient of 0% mobile phase B (0.4% acetic acid, 0.005% heptafluorobutyric acid, 80% acetonitrile) to 50% mobile phase B in 30 min at 250 nl/min, then to 100% B in an additional 5 min. The LTQ mass spectrometer was operated in a data-dependent mode in which each full MS scan was followed by five MS/MS scans where the five most abundant molecular ions were dynamically selected and fragmented by collision-induced dissociation (CID) using a normalized collision energy of 35%.


Bioinformatic Analysis


Tandem mass spectra were matched against Swiss-Prot human protein database through SEQUEST algorithm incorporated in Bioworks software (version 3.2, Thermo Electron) using tryptic cleavage constraints and static cysteine alkylation by iodoacetamide. For a peptide to be considered legitimately identified, it had to achieve Delta Cn value above 0.1, cross correlation scores of 1.5 for [M+H]1+, 2.0 for [M+2H]2+, 2.5 for [M+3H]3+, and a probability cut-off for randomized identification of p<0.01.


The results are provided in Table 1. In short, 175 peptides were identified as biomarkers that correlate to the disease state. Thus, evaluating patient samples for the presence of one or more of these biomarkers will provide a useful method for detecting colorectal cancer.

In addition, the tandem mass spectra were analyzed using more stringent filtering criteria, with a goal of reducing false positives. In particular, the spectra were analyzed using the filtering alorithms of the Scalfold Software (Proteome Software Inc., Portland Oreg.).


The results are provided in Table 2. In short, 74 peptides were identified that correlate to the disease state. Thus, evaluating patient samples for the presence of one or more of these biomarkers will provide a useful method for detecting colorectal cancer.

Example 2
Identification of Biomarkers for Colorectal Cancer Using LTQ-Orbitrap

Collection of blood and harvest of LMW protein were performed as described in Example 1.


Sample Preparation for Mass Spectrometric Analysis


LMW proteins collected from PrepCell were concentrated by Centricon (Millipore), loaded to SDS-PAGE (4-20% Tris-Glycine, Invitrogen) and proteins were separated by electrophoresis. After Coomassie staining and destaining of the gel, each lane was sliced to 5 bands. Then in-gel digestion by trypsin was performed for each band and peptides were extracted from the gel for mass spectrometric analysis.


Nanoflow Reversed-Phase Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry


The peptides from each band were analyzed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography nanospray tandem mass spectrometry using LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer (ThermoFisher). Reverse phase column was slurry-packed in-house with 5 μm, 200 Å pore size C18 resin (Michrom BioResources, CA) in 100 μm i.d.×10 cm long fused silica capillary (Polymicro Technologies, Phoenix, Ariz.) with a laser-pulled tip. After sample injection, the column was washed for 5 min with mobile phase A (0.1% formic acid) and peptides were eluted using a linear gradient of 0% mobile phase B (0.1% formic acid, 80% acetonitrile) to 50% mobile phase B in 90 min at 200 nl/min, then to 100% B in an additional 5 min. The LTQ-Orbitrap mass spectrometer was operated in a data-dependent mode in which each full MS scan was followed by five MS/MS scans where the five most abundant molecular ions were dynamically selected and fragmented by collision-induced dissociation (CID) using a normalized collision energy of 35%.


Bioinformatic Analysis


Tandem mass spectra were matched against human database downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) through the Sequest Bioworks Browser (ThermoFisher) using full tryptic cleavage constraints and static cysteine alkylation by iodoacetamide. For a peptide to be considered legitimately identified, it had to be the top number one matched and had to achieve cross correlation scores of 1.9 for [M+H]1+, 2.2 for [M+2H]2+, 3.5 for [M+3H]3+, ΔCn>0.1, and a maximum probabilities of identification of 0.01.


The results are provided in Table 3. In summary, 139 peptides were identified that correlate to the disease state.


Subsequently, the candidate biomarkers are verified and validated for colorectal cancer, followed by analysis of LMW protein fractions less than 25 KDa and less than 15 KDa from colorectal cancer pooled sera by reverse phase protein array.


LMW protein fractions from individual patient samples with and without colorectal cancer were isolated and collected using continuous denaturing electrphoresis and spotted on a nitrocellulose substratum using a reverse phase array format whereby the LMW sample is diluted 1:1 with SDS sample buffer and printed. The slide is then blocked with casein hydrolysate and incubated with an rabbit polyclonal anti-CRP antibody for 16 hours. The slide is washed and incubated with a horseradish peroxidae coupled goat anti-rabbit and subject to tyrmaide amplification using a colorimetric (DAB) precipitant.


Thus, evaluating patient samples for the presence of one or more of these biomarkers will provide a useful method for detecting colorectal cancer.

Example 3
Cancer-Related Peptides Are Not Necessarily Biomarkers

The above methods showed that a number of peptides previously known to be assosciated with colorectal cancer were not indicative of a disease state, and, thus, not useful as a biomarker. Examples include, alpha-1-antitrypsin precursor (alpha-1 protease inhibitor) (alpha-1-antiproteinase), follistatin-related protein 5 precursor (follistatin-like 5), sodium-D-glucose cotransporter (regulatory solute carrier protein, family 1, member 1), hypothetical protein DKFZp781M0386, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1 precursor (AGP 1) (Orosomucoid-1) (OMD 1), complement component C9 precursor that Contains complement component C9a and complement component C9b, hypothetical protein, immunoglobulin J chain, serum amyloid A-4 protein precursor (constitutively expressed serum amyloid A protein) (C-SAA), apolipoprotein A-II precursor (Apo-AII) (ApoA-II) that contains apolipoprotein A-II (1-76), IGKC protein, serum albumin precursor, complement factor B precursor (EC 3.4.21.47) (C3/C5 convertase) (properdin factor B) (glycine-rich beta glycoprotein) (GBG) (PBF2) that contains complement factor B Ba fragment and complement factor B Bb fragment, hemopexin precursor (Beta-1B-glycoprotein), intercellular adhesion molecule 5 precursor (ICAM-5) (telencephalin), receptor interacting protein kinase 5, isoform 2, Ig heavy chain V-III region TIL, probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX43 (EC 3.6.1.-) (DEAD-box protein 43) (DEAD-box protein HAGE) (helical antigen), FLJ10748 protein, hypothetical protein DKFZp686J11235 (fragment), C219-reactive peptide (FLJ39207), Ig kappa chain V-II region RPMI 6410 precursor, Ig kappa chain V-I region AU, homeobox protein Hox-A4 (Hox-1D) (Hox-1.4), cullin-4B (CUL-4B), zinc finger protein ZFPM1 (zinc finger protein multitype 1) (friend of GATA protein 1) (friend of GATA-1) (FOG-1), two-pore calcium channel protein 2 (two pore segment channel 2), stonin-2 (stoned B), hypothetical protein FLJ45653, hypothetical protein DKFZp434A128, Ig kappa chain V-I region CAR, ras-related protein Rap-1A (GTP-binding protein smg-p21A) (ras-related protein Krev-1) (C21KG) (G-22K), hypothetical protein FLJ37300, hypothetical protein FLJ36006, mirror-image polydactyly gene 1 protein, gamma-tubulin complex component 3 (GCP-3) (spindle pole body protein Spc98 homolog) (hSpc98) (hGCP3) (h104p), HERV-W7q21.2 provirus ancestral Env polyprotein precursor (envelope polyprotein) (HERV-7q Envelope protein) (HERV-W envelope protein) (syncytin) (syncytin 1) (enverin) (Env-W) that contains surface protein (SU) and transmembrane protein (TM), low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 2 precursor (megalin) (glycoprotein 330) (gp330), 40S ribosomal protein S16, Nuclear pore complex protein Nup214 (nucleoporin Nup214) (214 kDa nucleoporin) (CAN protein), cadherin EGF LAG seven-pass G-type receptor 1 precursor (flamingo homolog 2) (hFmi2), and KIAA0425 protein (fragment).
