Item Circulating Thrombospondin-2 enhances prediction of malignant intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm(Elsevier, 2018) Simpson, Rachel E.; Yip-Schneider, Michele T.; Wu, Huangbing; Fan, Hao; Liu, Ziyue; Korc, Murray; Zhang, Jianjun; Schmidt, C. Max; Surgery, School of MedicineBackground IPMNs are cystic pancreatic lesions with variable malignant potential. Thrombospondin-2 (THBS2)—an endogenous, anti-angiogenic matrix glycoprotein—may modulate tumor progression. We hypothesized that circulating levels of THBS2 could aid in preoperative prediction of malignant IPMN. Methods Preoperative serum/plasma samples were procured from patients undergoing surgery. Circulating levels of THBS2 were measured (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) and compared to surgical pathology IPMN dysplastic grade. Results 164 patients underwent THBS2 testing (100 Low/Moderate-IPMN; 64 High-Grade/Invasive-IPMN). Circulating THBS2 (mean ± SD) was greater in High-Grade/Invasive-IPMN than Low/Moderate-grade IPMN (26.6 ± 12.7 ng/mL vs. 20.4 ± 8.2 ng/mL; P < 0.001). THBS2 (AUC = 0.65) out-performed CA19-9 (n = 144; AUC = 0.59) in predicting IPMN grade. The combination of THBS2, CA19-9, radiographic main-duct involvement, main-duct diameter, age, sex, and BMI (AUC 0.82; n = 137) provided a good prediction model for IPMN grade. Conclusion Circulating THBS2 is correlated with IPMN dysplasia grade. THBS2 alone did not strongly predict IPMN grade but rather strengthened prediction models for High-Grade/Invasive IPMN when combined with other clinical/biomarker data.Item DNA profile components predict malignant outcomes in select cases of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm with negative cytology(Elsevier, 2018-10) Simpson, Rachel E.; Cockerill, Nathan J.; Yip-Schneider, Michele T.; Ceppa, Eugene P.; House, Michael G.; Zyromski, Nicholas J.; Nakeeb, Attila; Al-Haddad, Mohammad A.; Schmidt, C. Max; Surgery, School of MedicinePredicting malignancy in intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm remains challenging. Integrated molecular pathology combines pancreatic fluid DNA and clinical factors into a malignant potential score. We sought to determine the utility of DNA components alone in predicting high-grade dysplasia/invasive disease. Methods We reviewed prospectively the records from 1,106 patients with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm. We excluded non-intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm cases and cases with definitive malignant cytology. A total 225 patients had 283 DNA profiles (98 followed by surgery, 185 followed by ≥23-month surveillance). High-grade dysplasia/invasive outcomes were high-grade dysplasia, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm-invasive, and adenocarcinoma on surgical pathology or mesenteric or vascular invasion, metastases, or biopsy with high-grade dysplasia or adenocarcinoma during surveillance. Results High-quantity DNA predicted (P = .004) high-grade dysplasia/invasive disease outcomes with sensitivity of 78.3%, but 52.7% specificity, indicating benign cases may exhibit high-quantity DNA. High clonality loss of heterozygosity of tumor suppressor genes was 98.0% specific, strongly predicted high-grade dysplasia/invasive disease but lacked sensitivity (20.0%). High-quantity DNA + high clonality loss of heterozygosity had 99.0% specificity for high-grade dysplasia/invasive disease. KRAS mutation alone did not predict high-grade dysplasia/invasive disease, but, when combined with high-quantity DNA (specificity 84.7%) and high clonality loss of heterozygosity (specificity 99.0%) strongly predicted high-grade dysplasia/invasive outcomes. Conclusion Certain DNA components are highly specific for high-grade dysplasia/invasive disease and may indicate aggressive lesions, requiring resection when cytology fails.Item Pancreatic Fluid Interleukin-1β Complements Prostaglandin E2 and Serum Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 in Prediction of Intraductal Papillary Mucinous Neoplasm Dysplasia(Wolters Kluwer, 2019-09-01) Simpson, Rachel E.; Yip-Schneider, Michele T.; Flick, Katelyn F.; Wu, Huangbing; Colgate, Cameron L.; Schmidt, C. Max; Surgery, School of MedicineObjectives: We sought to determine if interleukin (IL)-1β and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (inflammatory mediators in pancreatic fluid) together with serum carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19–9 could better predict intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) dysplasia than individual biomarkers alone. Methods: Pancreatic cyst fluid (n = 92) collected via endoscopy or surgery (2003–2016) was analyzed for PGE2 and IL-1β (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). Patients had surgical pathology-proven IPMN. Threshold values (PGE2 [>1100 pg/mL], IL-1β [>20 pg/mL], serum CA 19–9 [>36 U/mL]) were determined. Results: Levels of IL-1β were higher in high-grade (HGD)/Invasive-IPMN (n = 42) compared to Low/Moderate-IPMN (n = 37) (median [range], 54.6 [0–2671] vs 5.9 [0–797] pg/mL; P < 0.001; Area Under Curve [AUC], 0.766). Similarly, PGE2 was higher in HGD/Invasive-IPMN (n = 45) compared to Low/Moderate-IPMN (n = 47) (median [range], 1790 [20–15,180] vs. 140 [10–14,630] pg/mL; P < 0.001; AUC, 0.748). Presence of elevated PGE2 and IL-1β (AUC, 0.789) provided 89% specificity and 82% positive predictive value (PPV) for HGD/Invasive-IPMN. Elevated levels of all three provided 100% Specificity and PPV for HGD/Invasive-IPMN. Conclusion: Cyst fluid PGE2, IL-1β, and serum CA 19–9 in combination optimize specificity and PPV for HGD/Invasive-IPMN and may help build a panel of markers to predict IPMN dysplasia.Item Performance of Candidate Urinary Biomarkers for Pancreatic Cancer - Correlation with Pancreatic Cyst Malignant Progression?(Elsevier, 2019) Yip-Schneider, Michele T.; Soufi, Mazhar; Carr, Rosalie A.; Flick, Katelyn F.; Wu, Huangbing; Colgate, Cameron L.; Schmidt, C. Max; Surgery, School of MedicineBackground Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) are precursors of pancreatic cancer. Potential biomarkers of IPMN progression have not been identified in urine. A few urinary biomarkers were reported to be predictive of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we seek to assess their ability to detect high-risk IPMN. Methods Urine was collected from patients undergoing pancreatic resection and healthy controls. TIMP-1(Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinase-1), LYVE-1(Lymphatic Vessel Endothelial Receptor 1), and PGEM(Prostaglandin E Metabolite) levels were determined by ELISA and analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis. Results Median urinary TIMP-1 levels were significantly lower in healthy controls (n = 9; 0.32 ng/mg creatinine) compared to PDAC (n = 13; 1.95) but not significantly different between low/moderate-grade (n = 20; 0.71) and high-grade/invasive IPMN (n = 20; 1.12). No significant difference in urinary LYVE-1 was detected between IPMN low/moderate (n = 16; 0.37 ng/mg creatinine) and high/invasive grades (n = 21; 0.09). Urinary PGEM levels were not significantly different between groups. Conclusions Urinary TIMP-1, LYVE-1, and PGEM do not correlate with malignant potential of pancreatic cysts.
