Background: Aberrant DNA methylation has been identified as biomarkers for breast cancer detection. Coiled-coil domain containing 12 gene () implicated in tumorigenesis. This study aims to investigate the potential of blood-based methylation for breast cancer detection.

Through label-free quantitative plasma proteomic analysis (data are available via ProteomeXchange with identifier PXD046731), 12 differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) in LUAD and BPN were screened. The diagnostic abilities of DEPs were validated in two independent validation cohorts.

Materials And Methods: In the present study, microarray was used to screen 2,549 miRNAs in serum samples from seven patients with LUAD and seven from healthy controls. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to validate the expression of miRNA in serum samples from 30 patients with LUAD and 30 heathy individuals.
Purpose: Previous studies have shown that DNA methylation in peripheral blood may be associated with breast cancer (BC). To explore the association between the methylation level of the Cathepsin Z gene in peripheral blood and BC, we conducted a case-control study in the Chinese population.
Methods: Peripheral blood samples were collected from 567 BC cases, 635 healthy controls, and 303 benign breast disease (BBD) cases.
As many as 90% of patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) may be undiagnosed. It is necessary to explore the potential value of autoantibodies against CRP, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in the diagnosis of OSA. ELISA was performed to detect the level of autoantibodies against CRP, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α in sera from 264 OSA patients and 231 normal controls (NCs).

Ten autoantibodies to TAAbs (TAAbs) were discovered by means of protein microarray and their serum level was also higher in 212 LC patients than that in 212 NC of validation cohort 1 (P < 0.05).

This study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanisms in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by constructing lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA networks. The whole transcriptome sequence was performed in five NSCLC tissues and their corresponding paired adjacent normal tissues.

Antibodies targeting programmed cell death-1 (PD1) and its ligand (PDL1) have transformed current cancer therapy while little is known about the expression of anti-PD1/PDL1 autoantibodies between lung cancer (LC) patients and normal controls (NC). The expression level of anti-PD1/PDL1 IgG and IgM was detected in plasma of 325 LC and 324 NC by indirect enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Western blot and indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) were used to verify the ELISA results.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), a common tumor biomarker, is applied in the detection of various tumors. To highlight the advantages of two-dimensional techniques and assist clinicians in optimizing lung cancer diagnostic schemes, we established a favorable model combining CT and CEA.
