Abstract

Transitional bladder carcinoma (BCa) is prevalent in developed countries, particularly among men. Given that these tumors frequently recur or progress, the early detection and subsequent monitoring of BCa at different stages is critical. Current BCa diagnostic biomarkers are not sufficiently sensitive for substituting or complementing invasive cystoscopy. Here, we sought to identify a robust set of urine biomarkers for BCa detection. Using a high-resolution, mass spectrometry-based, quantitative proteomics approach, we measured, compared and validated protein variations in 451 voided urine samples from healthy subjects, non-bladder cancer patients and patients with non-invasive and invasive BCa. We identified five robust biomarkers: Coronin-1A, Apolipoprotein A4, Semenogelin-2, Gamma synuclein and DJ-1/PARK7. In diagnosing Ta/T1 BCa, these biomarkers achieved an AUC of 0.92 and 0.98, respectively, using ELISA and western blot data (sensitivity, 79.2% and 93.9%; specificity, 100% and 96.7%, respectively). In diagnosing T2/T3 BCa, an AUC of 0.94 and 1.0 was attained (sensitivity, 86.4% and 100%; specificity, 100%) using the same methods. Thus, our multiplex biomarker panel offers unprecedented accuracy for the diagnosis of BCa patients and provides the prospect for a non-invasive way to detect bladder cancer.

<abstract>
<p>Transitional bladder carcinoma (BCa) is prevalent in developed countries, particularly among men. Given that these tumors frequently recur or progress, the early detection and subsequent monitoring of BCa at different stages is critical. Current BCa diagnostic biomarkers are not sufficiently sensitive for substituting or complementing invasive cystoscopy. Here, we sought to identify a robust set of urine biomarkers for BCa detection. Using a high-resolution, mass spectrometry-based, quantitative proteomics approach, we measured, compared and validated protein variations in 451 voided urine samples from healthy subjects, non-bladder cancer patients and patients with non-invasive and invasive BCa. We identified five robust biomarkers: Coronin-1A, Apolipoprotein A4, Semenogelin-2, Gamma synuclein and DJ-1/PARK7. In diagnosing Ta/T1 BCa, these biomarkers achieved an AUC of 0.92 and 0.98, respectively, using ELISA and western blot data (sensitivity, 79.2% and 93.9%; specificity, 100% and 96.7%, respectively). In diagnosing T2/T3 BCa, an AUC of 0.94 and 1.0 was attained (sensitivity, 86.4% and 100%; specificity, 100%) using the same methods. Thus, our multiplex biomarker panel offers unprecedented accuracy for the diagnosis of BCa patients and provides the prospect for a non-invasive way to detect bladder cancer.</p>

<title>INTRODUCTION</title>
<p>Transitional bladder carcinoma (BCa) is the fifth-most common cancer and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Cystoscopy and voided urine cytology are still the gold standards for the detection and follow-up of BCa [
<xref rid="R1" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>
] but they cannot detect certain lesions, such as small carcinoma
<italic>in situ</italic>
, and are often employed whenever patients present with other clinical signs. BCa exhibits significant tumor heterogeneity, reflected by multiple genetic alterations and complex somatic mutational profiles [
<xref rid="R2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>
]. New biomarkers, based on DNA methylation profiling [
<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>
], point mutations [
<xref rid="R4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>
] and microRNAs [
<xref rid="R5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>
], have been established in addition to many proposed protein biomarkers.</p>
<p>Commercial tests that detect Nuclear Matrix Protein 22 (NMP22) [
<xref rid="R6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>
] or Bladder Tumor Antigen (BTA) [
<xref rid="R7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>
] are FDA-approved tests for BCa diagnosis, but these single-marker assays lack the specificity of voided urine cytology [
<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>
]. In addition, two protein signatures comprising ten [
<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>
] or eight [
<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>
] biomarkers were developed more recently for the detection of recurrent BCa. However, none of these diagnostic marker assays offer sufficient sensitivity and specificity to be routinely used in the clinic. It is thus desirable to identify an optimal number of highly specific biomarkers that, in combination, can improve the robustness of the currently available diagnostic methodologies.</p>
<p>Advanced mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics has emerged as a powerful technology that delivers accurate and unbiased information about the quantitative behavior of a wide variety of proteins in complex biological samples. Thus, the aim of our study was to establish a multi-analyte assay for non-muscle invasive (Ta/T1) and muscle invasive (T2/T3) BCa detection in urine using MS technology in combination with multiplex peptide stable isotope labeling (reductive dimethyl labeling strategy)-a novel approach for BCa biomarker discovery-to capture differentially secreted proteins in BCa patients. We identified five highly sensitive and specific biomarkers, which were validated in urine samples from a large cohort of patients with BCa, benign urological conditions, chronic diseases or other cancer types.</p>

<title>RESULTS</title>
<sec id="s2_1">
<title>Overview of candidate biomarker identification for BCa detection using quantitative MS</title>
<p>To identify potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of Ta/T1 and T2/T3 BCa, we performed MS analysis using pooled urine samples of equal volumes from four subjects. In order to minimize experimental errors, we included biological (different pools) and technical replicates (different MS runs for the same samples). We combined the entire dataset to obtain the mean fold change in proteins present in BCa urine samples as compared with healthy urine samples. Proteins with at least a two-fold and two ratio count difference were considered as over-secreted proteins, and these were then scrutinized through extensive online database literature searching. These proteins were shortlisted to 17 potential hits based on their novelty, previously published cancer association, and subcellular localization.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2_2">
<title>Identification of five candidate biomarkers for BCa in voided urine samples</title>
<p>Shortlisted, potential biomarkers were next considered for initial validation by RT-PCR with ten samples for each of the three groups: control (healthy subjects), Ta/T1, and T2/T3 BCa. Based on the results of the mRNA expression analysis (data not shown), we found a higher expression (fold change >2) of five candidate biomarkers-Coronin-1A, Apolipoprotein A4, Semenogelin-2, Gamma Synuclein and DJ-1-in Ta/T1 and T2/T3 BCa samples as compared with samples from healthy subjects (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 1</xref>
). The shortlisted potential biomarkers were also validated using western blot analysis of healthy subjects and BCa patient urine samples before determining the five biomarkers.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2_3">
<title>Validation of five candidate biomarkers for BCa in a larger cohort</title>
<p>Urine samples from 66 healthy subjects, 110 Ta/T1 BCa patients and 63 T2/T3 BCa patients were analyzed using western blotting. All BCa urine samples exhibited an elevated level in at least three out of the five biomarkers (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1</xref>
). ROC curve, established using band intensity values, showed an AUC of 0.98 and 1.0 for healthy versus Ta/T1 and healthy versus T2/T3, respectively, using the five biomarkers in combination (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
; Table
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1a">1A</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1b">1B</xref>
). The data from western blot analyses (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">1a and 1b</xref>
) showed perfect concordance with the RT-PCR data (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 1</xref>
), indicating that the five biomarkers were significantly enriched in urine samples of BCa patients as compared with that of healthy subjects. Representative MS spectra (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figure 2</xref>
) of the five potential markers were also in good agreement with RT-PCR and western blotting data.</p>

<title>Hematuria had no effect on urinary biomarker levels</title>
<p>Hematuria occurs in numerous patients with urinary tract disease. We wanted to ascertain whether hematuria could affect a BCa diagnosis using our selected biomarkers, as these proteins can also be found in blood; albeit, at low levels.
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 5</xref>
, based on a database search, provides the prevalence and, in some cases, the large concentration range of four of our five biomarkers in plasma. We tested for the expression of these five biomarkers in plasma and in white blood cells from four blood samples using western blot analysis. We found the expression of all five biomarkers in plasma but only Coronin-1A in white blood cell extracts.</p>
<p>To compute the correlation of these biomarkers within plasma, we quantified the western blot intensity of the biomarkers in blood and urine samples and normalized them to human serum albumin (HSA) values in each respective sample. The Box-and-Whisker plot shows that all five biomarkers were significantly expressed in Ta/T1 and T2/T3 urine samples relative to that in samples from healthy subjects or in the blood plasma from four individual samples (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>
). Moreover, only Coronin-1A showed marginal correlation with HSA levels using a Pearson correlation test (Table
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T2">2</xref>
). From these results, we conclude that our biomarkers were not expressed in urine as a result of hematuria.</p>

<p>We next sought to correlate Coronin-1A expression with white blood cell count, making the assumption that HSA originated only from blood rather than from defective kidney filtration.

<title>Minimal biomarker prevalence in urine samples from non-bladder cancer patients</title>
<p>To further evaluate the specificity of our biomarkers in BCa, we performed western blotting analysis of 91 urine samples from non-bladder cancer patients and 121 urine samples from patients suffering from diverse chronic ailments (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
). The vast majority of samples were completely negative for these five biomarkers; albeit, in approximately 5% of the samples, we noticed variable expression of only one or, rarely, two biomarkers (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Figures 3 and 4</xref>
).</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s2_6">
<title>Validation of the high sensitivity and specificity of our diagnostic model</title>
<p>Finally, we developed a diagnostic model using Lasso regression to evaluate the clinical utility of different combinations of all five urine biomarkers. The diagnostic performances of each of the five biomarkers were computed separately and in various combinations using ELISA and western blotting data (Table
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1a">1A</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1b">1B</xref>
). Sensitivity and specificity, along with the cut-off values, for each biomarker are listed in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Tables 6A and 6B</xref>
. Using ELISA expression data, we found that a diagnostic model that combined all five biomarkers was the most accurate, achieving an AUC of 0.92 and an overall accuracy of 85.3% (sensitivity, 79.2%; specificity, 100%) in differentiating Ta/T1 BCa patients from healthy subjects. Similarly, for diagnosing T2/T3 BCa, the diagnostic model achieved an AUC of 0.94 and an overall accuracy of 90.6% (sensitivity, 86.4%; specificity, 100%); as shown in Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
and Tables
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1a">1A</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1b">1B</xref>
. Likewise, using western blotting data, we obtained an AUC of 0.98 and an overall accuracy of 94.8% (sensitivity, 93.9%; specificity, 96.7%) for a Ta/T1 BCa diagnosis, and, surprisingly, an AUC of 1.0 and an overall accuracy of 100% for a T2/T3 BCa diagnosis (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">3</xref>
and Tables
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1a">1A</xref>
and
<xref ref-type="table" rid="T1b">1B</xref>
). Thus, our diagnostic model combining all five biomarkers is highly sensitive and specific, outperforming conventional cytology or any existing biomarkers reported to date for a Ta/T1 BCa diagnosis [
<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>
]. Our biomarker panel proved to be superior to the cytology data we obtained from clinics for the healthy subject and BCa patients (

<title>DISCUSSION</title>
<p>Advanced, MS-based, quantitative proteomics allowed us to identify a panel of novel biomarkers with high precision for BCa diagnosis. The five potential candidates were shortlisted from MS data through extensive published literature filtering followed by RT-PCR, western blotting analyses and ELISA validation. The results showed elevated urinary concentrations of these five biomarkers in patients with BCa, with equally enriched expression found in immunohistochemically stained BCa tissues (Figure
<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">4</xref>
). Each of these five proteins has an important biological function, as shown by the relevant literature in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 7</xref>
. Coronin-1A is a crucial component of the actin cytoskeleton and promotes cellular processes including endocytosis and cell motility. It is expressed in brain, thymus, spleen, bone marrow and lymph nodes, and selective cytoplasmic expression has been reported in leukocytes and microglia.</p>

<p>Apolipoprotein A4 (APOA4), a critical mediator of lipid metabolism, is also proposed to be a mediator of reverse cholesterol transport (removes cholesterol from peripheral cells and directs it to the liver for metabolism). In addition, it is regarded as an antioxidant, a mediator of gut inflammation, and has been linked to β-amyloid clearance in the brain. Serum APOA4 is a reported marker of pancreatic [
<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
] and ovarian [
<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>
] cancers, and it is differentially expressed in the sera of gastric cancer patients [
<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>
]. APOA4 is elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease [
<xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>
], and APOA1 in diabetic rat bladders [
<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>
].</p>
<p>The third biomarker, Gamma synuclein belongs to a family of small, soluble proteins consisting of α-, β- and γ-synuclein. Synucleins have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, but the function of γ-synuclein is not completely understood. γ-Synuclein overexpression is known to cause an increase in proliferation, invasiveness and metastasis [
<xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>
], and γ-synuclein, along with calreticulin and catechol-o-methyltransferase, is reported to be a tumor marker in BCa [
<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>
].</p>
<p>Semenogelin-2, the fourth marker, is a major coagulating protein in human semen. Although semenogelin expression is normally restricted to males, two small cell lung carcinoma cell lines from female patients have been reported positive for semenogelin II expression [
<xref rid="R20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>
]. The role of semenogelins in human malignancy is poorly understood; however, various studies have reported the expression of semenogelins in lung carcinomas, melanoma and leukemias. Semenogelin II has been shown to have prognostic significance in the prediction of cancer progression after radical prostatectomy [
<xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>
].</p>
<p>Finally, DJ-1 is a conserved protein, coded by the gene Parkinson disease 7 (PARK7). DJ-1 was originally identified as an oncogene that can transform mouse NIH3T3 cells in cooperation with H-RAS [
<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>
]. DJ-1 protein affects cell survival by modulating cellular signaling cascades, such as the PTEN–phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase–Akt pathway [
<xref rid="R23" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>
], and can alter the activity of p53 [
<xref rid="R24" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>
]. The elevation of serum DJ-1 levels in patients with pancreatic cancer has led to the identification of DJ-1 as a potential diagnostic marker [
<xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">25</xref>
]. DJ-1 expression is correlated with the pathological stages of invasive urothelial carcinoma of the urinary bladder [
<xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">26</xref>
].</p>
<p>The diagnostic performance of these five biomarkers indicated a necessity to combine all five for an accurate diagnosis. FDA-approved Complement factor H, which has been reported for the diagnosis of patients with benign renal diseases and urinary tract infections as well as other cancer types, provides only 60% specificity [
<xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">27</xref>
]. Our five urine biomarkers were able to differentiate patients with BCa from those with benign conditions (such as inflammation of the bladder, benign prostatic hyperplasia or nephrolithiasis possibly associated with hematuria) with 100% specificity, and were rarely detected in the urine of patients affected by chronic diseases or other cancer types.</p>
<p>The FDA-approved biomarker NMP22 is reported to be affected by hematuria in urine [
<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">28</xref>
]. Hence, we took this issue into consideration during our validation tests. Normal HSA levels in urine vary considerably and can be detected in samples from otherwise healthy subjects. Notably, urine from patients with chronic diseases, such as diabetes, has a much higher level of HSA than that from many of our BCa patients. Therefore, HSA does not always reflect blood contamination. In addition, plasma or white blood cell contamination cannot account for the levels of these biomarkers detected following low-speed centrifugation of urine.</p>
<p>A follow-up study during the course of treatment or with post-treatment patients will be needed to test whether the combination of these five biomarkers can predict patient outcome or detect BCa recurrence. This is particularly critical in patients with superficial BCa who are treated with trans-urethral resection or who undergo Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) treatment.</p>
</sec>
<sec id="s4">
<title>CONCLUSIONS</title>
<p>We established a robust, urinary protein biomarker panel for BCa diagnosis. This panel consists of five biomarkers with significantly higher sensitivity and specificity than that of the currently available, non-invasive diagnostic assays for the detection of BCa. This panel has the potential to be used to not only monitor and follow-up patients with BCa, but also as a tool for screening asymptomatic subjects who are at a high risk of developing BCa. This study is likely to be immensely beneficial to patients as a companion diagnostic in the standard of care or as a potential novel therapeutic.</p>

<sec id="s5_1">
<title>Urine samples</title>
<p>Voided urine samples and associated clinical information (
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 1</xref>
) were collected following Institutional Review Board approval and informed consent. Samples were obtained from Department of Urology, National University Hospital (IRB #02 235); National University Health System Tissue Repository (IRB B-14-015E); Department of Urology, Singapore General Hospital (IRB 2012-525); Department of Urology, CHU Henri Mondor Creteil, France (IRB 07284); Department of Urology, Hospital Lyon CHU Edouard Herriot Hospital (IRB 2008-073); Department of Urology, Medical School Hamburg, Germany (IRB PV3652) and Department of Urology, Pusan National University Hospital, Pusan, South Korea (IRB PNUH-E-2014118).</p>
<p>For the initial screening, 20 ml of voided urine was collected from healthy subjects and BCa patients in preservation tubes (Norgen Biotek Corporation, Canada) and stored at −80°C. The voided urine was clean-catch, midstream urine, and the samples did not contain squamous cells or microbes. The samples were from three separate groups: the control group, corresponding to healthy subjects with no previous history of urothelial cell carcinoma, gross haematuria, active urinary tract infection or urolithiasis; a second group, formed by Ta/T1 BCa patients, characterized as having non-muscle invasive (NMI) BCa; and a third group, comprising T2/T3 BCa patients, characterized as having muscle invasive (MI) BCa. Each urine aliquot was assigned a unique identifier before laboratory processing. Urine samples were excluded if they had significant blood contamination, as determined by visual inspection and based on the Dip-stick urine test (Combur9, Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland) [results tabulated in
<xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="SD1">Supplementary Table 2</xref>
]. Samples were stored at −80°C until further processing. For validation screens, an additional 5 ml of voided urine was collected from patients affected by chronic diseases, BCa, and other cancer types. Control urine samples were obtained from healthy, community-dwelling participants of the Singapore Consortium of Cohort Studies.</p>

<p>Concentrated urine samples were subjected to on-column stable isotope dimethyl labeling followed by nLC-MS analysis. Urine proteins were concentrated using a 3-kDa centrifugal filter, according to the manufacturer's instructions (Millipore, Carrigtwohill, Ireland). Four samples from each cohort, i.e., healthy, Ta/T1 and T2/T3 BCa, were pooled and centrifuged at 8000 ×
<italic>g</italic>
for 30–60 min at 4°C. Acetone-precipitated samples were reconstituted in 120 μl of 8 M urea in 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate. Samples were reduced by the addition of 1 M dithiothreitol to a final concentration of 5 mM in each sample, and then incubated at room temperature for 30 min. Alkylation was performed by the addition of 0.5 M iodoacetamide to a final concentration of 10 mM, and the samples were incubated in the dark for 30 min. All samples were then diluted from the initial 8 M urea to 6 M urea using 100 mM ammonium bicarbonate and then incubated with Lys-C (enzyme-to-protein ratio of 1:100) at 37°C overnight. Digestion mixtures were adjusted to a final concentration of 1 M urea by the addition of 50 mM ammonium bicarbonate followed by incubation with trypsin (enzyme-to-protein ratio of 1:50) at 37°C for 4 h.</p>
<p>The tryptic peptide mixtures were subjected to on-column stable isotope dimethyl labelling, as described elsewhere [
<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>
], using a triple-labelling approach. Differentially labelled urine samples were mixed and fractionated using isoelectric focusing electrophoresis on an Agilent 3100 OFFGEL Fractionator (12 fractions). The samples were cleaned up using self-packed C18 stage tips and subjected to mass spectrometry analysis, also as previously described [
<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>

<p>MS data were analyzed by MaxQuant version 1.3.0.5 using the 2013-07_uniprot human FASTA database (88354 entries) [
<xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>
]. Maximum false discovery rates were set to 0.01 for both protein and peptide. Proteins were considered identified when supported by at least one unique peptide with a minimum length of 7 amino acids.</p>
