The urinary volatomic profiling of Indian cohorts composed of 28 lung cancer (LC) patients and 27 healthy subjects (control group, CTRL) was established using headspace solid phase microextraction technique combined with gas chromatography mass spectrometry methodology as a powerful approach to identify urinary volatile organic metabolites (uVOMs) to discriminate among LC patients from CTRL. Overall, 147 VOMs of several chemistries were identified in the intervention groups—including naphthalene derivatives, phenols, and organosulphurs—augmented in the LC group. In contrast, benzene and terpenic derivatives were found to be more prevalent in the CTRL group. The volatomic data obtained were processed using advanced statistical analysis, namely partial least square discriminative analysis (PLS-DA), support vector machine (SVM), random forest (RF), and multilayer perceptron (MLP) methods. This resulted in the identification of nine uVOMs with a higher potential to discriminate LC patients from CTRL subjects. These were furan, o-cymene, furfural, linalool oxide, viridiflorene, 2-bromo-phenol, tricyclazole, 4-methyl-phenol, and 1-(4-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-2-methyl-3-morpholinopropan-1-one. The metabolic pathway analysis of the data obtained identified several altered biochemical pathways in LC mainly affecting glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, pyruvate metabolism, and fatty acid biosynthesis. Moreover, acetate and octanoic, decanoic, and dodecanoic fatty acids were identified as the key metabolites responsible for such deregulation. Furthermore, studies involving larger cohorts of LC patients would allow us to consolidate the data obtained and challenge the potential of the uVOMs as candidate biomarkers for LC.

Aberrant glycosylation is a hallmark of cancer found during tumorigenesis and tumor progression. Lung cancer induced by oncogene mutations has been detected in the patient's saliva, and saliva glycosylation has been altered. Saliva contains highly glycosylated glycoproteins, the characteristics of which may be related to various diseases. Therefore, elucidating cancer-specific glycosylation in the saliva of healthy, non-cancer, and cancer patients can reveal whether tumor glycosylation has unique characteristics for early diagnosis. In this work, we used a solid-phase chemoenzymatic method to study the glycosylation of saliva glycoproteins in clinical specimens. The results showed that the alpha1,6-core fucosylation of glycoproteins in cancer patients was significant increased. The fucosylation of alpha1,2 or alpha1,3 is also increased in cancer patients. We further analyzed the expression of fucosyltransferases responsible for alpha1,2, alpha1,3, alpha1,6 fucosylation. The fucosylation of the saliva of cancer patients is drastically different from that of non-cancer or health controls. These results indicate that the glycoform of saliva fucosylation distinguishes lung cancer from other diseases, and this feature has the potential to diagnose lung adenocarcinoma.

Previous studies reported some associations between class A antibodies specific for benzo[a]pyrene (IgA-Bp), estradiol (IgA-Es) and progesterone (IgA-Pg) and breast cancer (BC) in women like as with lung cancer (LC) in men. It was suggested that IgA-Bp and IgA-Es may stimulate tumor initiation and promotion, whereas IgA-Pg may inhibit the in vivo human carcinogenesis.The purpose of this study was to identify the suggested associations of such immunological imbalance with BC and LC in postmenopausal women.The serum A-class antibodies specific to benzo[a]pyrene, estradiol and progesterone (IgA-Bp, IgA-Es, IgA- Pg) were studied in 335 healthy women, 824 breast cancer (BC) patients and 127 cases of lung cancer (LC) by means of non-competitive solid phase immunoassay. The following results were obtained: Increased ratio of IgA-Bp and IgA-Es amounts exceeding the IgA-Pg levels was associated with a higher risk of breast cancer (OR = 2.8 and 2.4 respectively, p < 0.0001), and higher risk of LC (OR = 2.9 and 2.8, respectively, p < 0.0001). Conversely, the OR values decreased to 0.3-0.4 for BC and LC if IgA-Pg levels were higher than IgA-Bp and IgA-Es levels (p < 0.0001). These findings confirm the hypothesis that IgA-Bp and IgA-Es are capable to stimulate, and IgA-Pg, to inhibit the BC and LC occurrence n postmenopausal women. The balance between IgA-Bp and IgA-Es, on the one hand, and IgA-Pg, on the other hand, is much more important than individual contents of these antibodies.In conclusion, the phenomenon of “immunological interference” is revealed, i.e., the mutual enhancement of IgA-Bp and IgA-Es effects, thus, probably, stimulating the initial and subsequent events of carcinogenesis initiation and promotion, with a weak anticancer effect of IgA-Pg, and by weakening the mutual procarcinogenic effects of IgA-Bp and IgA-Es by the marked effect of IgA-Pg.

AbstractA fast and efficient process for the production of the PET radionuclide73Se was developed using75Se as a surrogate.75Se was separated from proton irradiated arsenic trioxide by reaction with 2,3-diaminonaphthalene to 4,5-[75Se]benzopiazelenol. This compound was purified using SPE column chromatography and subsequently decomposed with hydrogen peroxide. For further chemical conversions [75Se]selenite was reduced to elemental [75Se]selenium by either using thiosulfate or sulfur dioxide. The recovery yield of75Se from the target amounted to 43%. The utility of the isolated75Se for radiosyntheses was demonstrated by the successful preparation of [75Se]selenomethionine. The methodology developed using75Se was successfully transformed to73Se.

IntroductionLung cancer is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in China, as well as in the world. Late diagnosis is the main obstacle to improving survival. Currently, early detection methods for lung cancer have many limitations, for example, low specificity, risk of radiation exposure and overdiagnosis. Exhaled breath analysis is one of the most promising non-invasive techniques for early detection of lung cancer. The aim of this study is to identify volatile organic compound (VOC) biomarkers in lung cancer and to construct a predictive model for lung cancer based on exhaled breath analysis.Methods and analysisThe study will recruit 389 lung cancer patients in one cancer centre and 389 healthy subjects in two lung cancer screening centres. Bio-VOC breath sampler and Tedlar bag will be used to collect breath samples. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry coupled with solid phase microextraction technique will be used to analyse VOCs in exhaled breath. VOC biomarkers with statistical significance and showing abilities to discriminate lung cancer patients from healthy subjects will be selected for the construction of predictive model for lung cancer.Ethics and disseminationThe study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Sichuan Cancer Hospital on 6 April 2017 (No. SCCHEC-02-2017-011). The results of this study will be disseminated in presentations at academic conferences, publications in peer-reviewed journals and the news media.Trial registration numberChiCTR-DOD-17011134; Pre-results.

e21027 Background: Early detection and treatment of cancer is an important issue that affect the prognosis of cancer patients. Photodynamic screening with 5-aminorevrinic acid (ALA-PDS) is simple and non-invasive procedure for risk screening of cancer, and it is gradually recognized as the predictable biomarkers for cancer in Japan. In this study, we examined the predictability of lung cancer by ALA-PDS and its usefulness as a supportive parameter for preoperative diagnosis. Methods: Eighty-five lung cancer patients (48 males and 37 females) just before lung resection were enrolled. 5-aminolevulinic acid phosphate 150mg was taken at night and urine samples were collected in the next morning. The porphyrin metabolites in the urine samples were detected by solid phase extraction method, previously reported from our group. Afterwards, the data was adjusted depending renal function. The data was compared with that from healthy volunteer without any abnormal symptom and physical disorder. Results: The average age of 85 patients was 70 years (46-85). The number of patients in each pathological stage was 2 in Stage 0, 58 in Stage IA and IB, 15 in Stage IIA and IIB, 8 in Stage IIIA and IIIB, and 2 in Stage IV, respectively. The diagnosis was 61 cases of adenocarcinoma and 22 cases of squamous cell carcinoma. Urinary porphyrin metabolites in lung cancer patients increased significantly as compared to those of healthy volunteers (2,847nM/gCRE vs 1,668nM/gCRE, p < 0.001). Increase of urinary porphyrin metabolites was observed even in stage 0 or I patients, but the correlation with stage progression was not clear (Stage 0 and I vs Stage II vs Stage III and IV: 2,757nM/gCRE vs 3,099nM/gCRE vs 3,010nM/gCRE). Furthermore, urinary porphyrin metabolites were confirmed to be significantly increased even in PET-negative cancer patients, compared to healthy volunteers (p < 0.001). Conclusions: ALA-PDS was able to predict lung cancer in our cohort. Moreover, it was also suggested that it may be useful as a supportive parameter for diagnosis of early stage lung cancer or PET negative lung cancer.
