Purpose: The goal of this study was to identify, and validate, novel serum markers of human Colorectal cancer as potential candidates for noninvasive detection of early colorectal neoplasm.Experimental Design: Employing two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, :we analyzed 16 matched colorectal cancer and adjacent normal tissue samples. Proteins found to. be elevated in cancer tissue were further validated by generating antibodies which were used for immunoblotting of tissue samples and for the development of highly sensitive immunoassays for assessment of serum samples.Results: In. total, 735 different proteins were identifed in colon, tissue. Strong elevation in immunoblot analysis transforming, colorectal cancer for five proteins was confirmed by in growth factor-beta induced protein ig-h3 -(beta iG-H3) nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT), nucleoside, diphosphate kinase A (nm23-H1), purine nucleioside phosphorylase (PNPH), and mannose-6-phosphate receptor binding protein 1 (M6P1). Elevated levels of NNMT, which is not predicted to-be secreted but is known as a cytoplasmic proteins were found in serum from patients with colorectal cancer. I Employing a receiver-operating characteristic: curve based on the measurement of 109 patients with colorectal cancer and 317 healthy controls, we obtained an area under the curve of 0.84 for NNMT, which was,superior to the established tumor marker. carcinoembryogeniec antigon with an area under the curve of 0.78.Conclusions: It is proposed that NNMT serum levels may have significance in the early detection and in the management of patients with colorectal cancer.
