Using proteomic techniques, we sought to identify novel protein biomarkers in tissue and urine from patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC). Urinary and tissue proteomes were analyzed and differentially expressed proteins identified by mass spectrometry. One of the proteins, cystatin B, was further analyzed in TCC tissue by immunohistochemistry and in urine by semiquantitative western blot analysis. Cystatin B tissue staining intensity significantly increased concordantly with TCC grade (p=0.0008). Elevated urinary cystatin B levels correlated with increasing tumor grade (p=0.062) and stage (p=0.0047). Patients with elevated levels of cystatin B had a shorter mean time to disease recurrence (12 months, SE 1.82) compared to patients who had low levels (28.8 months, SE 2.26), p=0.0047. Similarly, patients with elevated cystatin B levels had a shorter time to grade/stage progression, compared to patients with low urinary cystatin B (p=0.0007). By multivariate Cox regression analysis, an elevated cystatin B level was the most significant variable predicting disease recurrence (HR 3.8, 95% CI 1.5–9.5, p=0.0049) and grade/stage progression (HR 10.4, 95% CI 1.6–201.5, p=0.0104). Cystatin B is elevated in tissue and urine of bladder cancer patients. Cystatin B urine levels are positively correlated with tumor grade, stage, and with shorter time to disease recurrence and progression. Consequently cystatin B may be useful as a novel predictive biomarker in TCC of the bladder.
