摘要:

目的 探究血清黑色素瘤相关抗原A3(MAGEA3)、人附睾蛋白4(HE4)在肺癌患者辅助诊断中的应用价值。方法 选择2021年1月至2024年1月康复大学青岛中心医院收治的134例肺癌患者作为研究对象(研究组),选取同期158例体检健康人群作为对照组。采用酶联免疫吸附试验测定血清MAGEA3、HE4水平。以研究组治疗前MAGEA3、HE4水平均数为中界值,将肺癌患者分别分为MAGEA3高水平组(≥58.69 pg/ml,n=66)和低水平组(<58.69 pg/ml,n=68)、HE4高水平组(≥125.04 pmol/L,n=69)和低水平组(<125.04 pmol/L,n=65)。采用受试者操作特征(ROC)曲线评估治疗前血清MAGEA3、HE4水平对肺癌的诊断效能。结果 研究组治疗前血清MAGEA3、HE4水平分别为(58.69±16.14)pg/ml、(125.04±28.49)pmol/L,对照组分别为(43.52±14.83)pg/ml、(96.85±22.33)pmol/L,研究组MAGEA3、HE4水平均显著高于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(t=8.36,P<0.001;t=9.47,P<0.001)。研究组治疗后血清MAGEA3、HE4水平分别为(46.73±15.42)pg/ml、(113.26±24.73)pmol/L,治疗后血清MAGEA3、HE4水平均显著低于治疗前,差异均有统计学意义(t=16.07,P<0.001;t=9.27,P<0.001)。治疗前血清MAGEA3高水平组与低水平组肺癌患者的分化程度(χ2=6.20,P=0.013)、TNM分期(χ2=7.27,P=0.007)、淋巴结转移(χ2=7.07,P=0.008)差异均有统计学意义。治疗前血清HE4高水平组与低水平组肺癌患者的分化程度(χ2=4.93,P=0.026)、TNM分期(χ2=7.31,P=0.007)、淋巴结转移(χ2=9.85,P=0.002)差异均有统计学意义。ROC曲线分析显示,治疗前血清MAGEA3、HE4单独诊断肺癌的曲线下面积(AUC)分别为0.77(95%CI为0.72~0.83)、0.76(95%CI为0.70~0.81),二者联合诊断肺癌的AUC为0.87(95%CI为0.83~0.91),二者联合诊断肺癌的价值优于MAGEA3(Z=2.92,P=0.003)、HE4(Z=3.24,P=0.001)单独诊断。结论 与健康人群相比,肺癌患者治疗前血清MAGEA3、HE4水平显著升高,且治疗后血清MAGEA3、HE4水平均显著低于治疗前,二者联合诊断肺癌的效能更优,可作为肺癌患者辅助诊断的工具。

Abstract:

Objective To explore the application value of serum melanoma-associated antigen A3 (MAGEA3) and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) in the auxiliary diagnosis of lung cancer patients. Methods A total of 134 patients with lung cancer who underwent treatment at Qingdao Central Hospital, University of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences from January 2021 to January 2024 were selected as study subjects (study group), and 158 healthy people who underwent physical examination during the same period were selected as control group. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay was applied to measure the serum level of MAGEA3 and HE4. According to the median MAGEA3 and HE4 levels before treatment of the study group, lung cancer patients were divided into MAGEA3 high level group (≥58.69 pg/ml, n=66), low level group (<58.69 pg/ml, n=68) and HE4 high level group (≥125.04 pmol/L, n=69) and low level group (<125.04 pmol/L, n=65). Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum MAGEA3 and HE4 level for lung cancer before treatment. Results Serum MAGEA3 and HE4 levels before treatment in the study group were (58.69±16.14) pg/ml and (125.04±28.49) pmol/L, and those in the control group were (43.52±14.83) pg/ml and (96.85±22.33) pmol/L, respectively. The levels of MAGEA3 and HE4 in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group, with statistically significant differences (t=8.36, P<0.001; t=9.47, P<0.001). Serum MAGEA3 and HE4 levels after treatment in the study group were (46.73±15.42) pg/ml and (113.26±24.73) pmol/L, respectively, serum MAGEA3 and HE4 levels after treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, with statistically significant differences (t=16.07, P<0.001; t=9.27, P<0.001). There were significant differences in differentiation degree (χ2=6.20, P=0.013), TNM staging (χ2=7.27, P=0.007) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=7.07, P=0.008) of lung cancer patients between the MAGEA3 high level group and the low level group before treatment. There were significant differences in differentiation degree (χ2=4.93, P=0.026), TNM staging (χ2=7.31, P=0.007) and lymph node metastasis (χ2=9.85, P=0.002) of lung cancer patients between the HE4 high level group and the low level group before treatment. The ROC curve analysis showed that, the area under the curve (AUC) of serum MAGEA3 and HE4 alone for diagnosing lung cancer before treatment were 0.77 (95%CI: 0.72-0.83) and 0.76 (95%CI: 0.70-0.81), and the AUC of the above two combined for diagnosing lung cancer was 0.87 (95%CI: 0.83-0.91), and the combined diagnosis value of the two was higher than that of MAGEA3 (Z=2.92, P=0.003) and HE4 (Z=3.24, P=0.001) alone. Conclusion Compared with healthy people, serum MAGEA3 and HE4 levels before treatment of lung cancer patients are significantly increased, and serum MAGEA3 and HE4 levels are significantly lower after treatment than those before treatment. The combination of the two is more effective in diagnosis for lung cancer and can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic tool for lung cancer patients.
