摘要:
目的 探究粪便重组人黏结蛋白聚糖2(syndecan-2,SDC2)基因甲基化检测在结直肠癌早期筛查中的临床价值。 方法 选择2021年3月至2022年10月昆明医科大学第三附属医院收治的87例受检者作为研究对象,其中结直肠正常者41例,结直肠腺瘤患者21例,结直肠癌患者25例。研究将提取研究对象的粪便DNA用于进行粪便SDC2基因甲基化检测,根据试剂盒设定的Cutoff值,确定被测标本的阴性和阳性结果,对比SDC2基因甲基化检测结果与结直肠镜诊断结果,对受检者一般资料进行卡方检验分析,对SDC2基因甲基化循环阈值(cycle threshold,Ct)进行方差分析用于评估SDC2基因甲基化在结直肠肿瘤中的表达程度,并做受试者工作特征曲线(receiver operating characteristic curve,ROC curve)计算曲线下面积(area under the curve,AUC)用于评估SDC2基因甲基化在结直肠肿瘤中的诊断价值,分析SDC2基因甲基化在结直肠肿瘤诊断中的灵敏度和特异度。 结果 在87例入组人群中检测出SDC2基因甲基化阳性35例,阴性52例,其在结直肠腺瘤患者和结直肠癌患者粪便中的阳性率分别为57.14%(12/21)、84.00%(21/25),差异具有统计学意义(P = 0.044)。ROC曲线下分析结果显示,SDC基因甲基化检测诊断结直肠腺瘤和结直肠癌的曲线下面积(AUC)分别为0.715、0.918,灵敏度分别为57.14%、88.00%,特异度分别为95.12%,92.68%,差异有统计学意义(P = 0.0107,P < 0.0001)。 结论 粪便SDC2基因甲基化对于检测结直肠癌及其癌前病变有着较高的特异度,并且随着癌变进程检测灵敏度不断升高,故在结直肠癌早期筛查中具有重要临床价值。 Abstract:Objective This study aims to investigate the clinical application of fecal recombinant human adhesin syndecan 2 (SDC2) gene methylation test in the early screening of colorectal tumors. Methods Eighty-seven subjects admitted to the hospital from March 2021 to October 2022 were selected as the study subjects, including 41 cases with normal colorectum, 21 with colorectal adenoma and 25 with colorectal cancer. In this study, the fecal DNA of the subjects was extracted for the fecal SDC2 gene methylation test, and the negative and positive results of the tested specimens were determined according to the Cutoff value set by the kit. The effects of the SDC2 gene methylation test were compared with the results of colonoscopy diagnosis. The analysis of variance on SDC2 gene methylation cycle thresholds (Ct) was performed to assess the expression of SDC2 methylation in colorectal tumors. The subject operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to evaluate the diagnostic value of SDC2 gene methylation in colorectal tumors and to analyze the sensitivity and specificity of SDC2 gene methylation in colorectal tumor diagnosis. Results Among the 87 enrolled cases, 35 were positive for SDC2 gene methylationand 52 were negative. The positive rate in the stool of colorectal adenoma patients and colorectal cancer patients was 57.14% (12/21) and 84.00% (21/25), respectively and there were statistically significant differences (P = 0.044). The results of the analysis under the ROC curve showed that the area of SDC2 gene methylation under the curve (AUC) of the test for the diagnosis of colorectal adenoma and colorectal cancer was 0.715 and 0.918, respectively, with a sensitivity of 57.14% and 88.00% and a specificity of 95.12% and 92.68%, respectively and there were statistically significant differences (P = 0.0107, P < 0.0001). Conclusion Fecal SDC2 gene methylation has a high specificity for detecting colorectal cancer and its precancerous lesions, and the sensitivity of detection increases as the cancer progresses, so it is of great clinical value in early screening of colorectal cancer. -
