Description

혈청 또는 소변에서 방광암의 진단 및 예후를 예측할 수 있는 신규한 바이오마커{A novel biomarker that can predict the diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer in serum or urine}A novel biomarker that can predict the diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer in serum or urine}

본 발명은 혈청 또는 소변에서 방광암의 진단 및 예후를 예측할 수 있는 신규한 바이오마커에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a novel biomarker that can diagnose and predict the prognosis of bladder cancer in serum or urine.

방광암은 비뇨기계 암 중에서는 가장 흔한 암이며, 사회가 점차 고령화되어감에 따라 방광암으로 진단 받는 환자들의 수는 증가되고 있다. 방광암 환자들이 진단 받을 시, 약 70%가 방광의 근육층으로 침범하지 않은 표재성 방광암으로 진단 받으며, 치료 시 5년 생존율은 70%에 달한다. 그러나 그 중 50% 이상이 재발 시 표재성 방광암으로 나타날 뿐만 아니라 일부 환자들은 근육층까지 침범한 침윤성 방광암 또는 전이성 방광암으로 나타난다. 방광암 환자들의 성공적인 치료에 가장 큰 문제점은 항암제 내성과 빈번한 재발이다. 이러한 이유로 방광암 환자들은 지속적인 모니터링이 필요하기 때문에 고비용과 검사 후 부작용이 있는 방광경 검사를 빈번하게 시행한다. 또한, 화학 항암제 요법과 같은 치료에도 불구하고 방광암 환자의 재발 문제는 계속해서 삶의 질을 저하시키고 재정적 고통을 유발한다. 따라서 방광암 진단이 보다 안전하고 간편하며, 환자의 항암제 내성 및 예후 예측까지 가능한 바이오마커 개발이 필수적이다.Bladder cancer is the most common cancer among urinary system cancers, and as society gradually ages, the number of patients diagnosed with bladder cancer is increasing. When patients with bladder cancer are diagnosed, approximately 70% are diagnosed with superficial bladder cancer that has not invaded the muscle layer of the bladder, and the 5-year survival rate with treatment reaches 70%. However, more than 50% of cases of recurrence not only manifest as superficial bladder cancer, but some patients also develop invasive bladder cancer or metastatic bladder cancer that has invaded the muscle layer. The biggest problem in successful treatment of bladder cancer patients is anticancer drug resistance and frequent recurrence. For this reason, bladder cancer patients frequently undergo cystoscopy, which is expensive and has side effects after the test because it requires continuous monitoring. Additionally, despite treatments such as chemotherapy, recurrence problems in bladder cancer patients continue to reduce quality of life and cause financial distress. Therefore, it is essential to develop a biomarker that makes bladder cancer diagnosis safer and easier and can even predict the patient's anticancer drug resistance and prognosis.

Lund 코호트(Lund cohort)에서, 평균 연령은 71세(20세 내지 96세 범위)이고, 수술 후 평균 후속 주기는 46개월(2개월 내지 127개월)이었다. 후속 주기 동안, 19명의 환자(12%)가 질환이 진행되었다. Yonsei 코호트(Yonsei cohort)에서, 평균 연령은 73세(36세 내지 100세 범위)이고, 수술 후 평균 후속 주기는 70개월(1개월 내지 103개월 범위)였다. 다만, Yonsei 코호트에서 무 진행 생존률 데이터는 공급받지 못했다. First, the gene expression level of STC1 was confirmed and compared with the expression level in primary NMIBC, bladder tissue including primary MIBC, and relapse tissue in the bladder cancer cohort. In comparison of gene expression data in various bladder cancer cohorts (Korean bladder cancer cohort, GSE13507; Lund cohort, GSE32894; Yonsei cohort, GSE120736), the expression level of STC1 in primary MIBC was significantly higher than that in primary NMIBC in all cases (P = 0.01; P < 0.001, and P = 0.05 by a two-sample t-test, Figure 2a). Figure 2b shows the baseline characteristics of 618 bladder cancer patients. In the Korean bladder cancer cohort (GSE13507), the mean age was 66 years (range 24 to 88 years) and the mean follow-up period after surgery was 53 months (range 1 to 161 months). During subsequent cycles, 34 patients (21%) had disease progression. In the Lund cohort, the mean age was 71 years (range 20 to 96 years) and the mean follow-up period after surgery was 46 months (range 2 to 127 months). During subsequent cycles, 19 patients (12%) had disease progression. In the Yonsei cohort, the mean age was 73 years (range 36 to 100 years) and the mean follow-up period after surgery was 70 months (range 1 to 103 months). However, progression-free survival data from the Yonsei cohort were not available.

STC1이 많은 암에서 흔히 상향조절되고 예후 마커로서 사용되므로, 방광암 환자의 생존 결과에서 STC1의 예상 수치를 추가 평가하였다. 이는 STC1 발현 수준과 직접적으로 관련된 유전자 발현 시그니처를 확인하고 질환 진행 및 생존의 가능성을 예측하기 위한 시그니처로 사용하기 위한 것이다. GSE13507 코호트에서 STC1 발현과 관련된 367개 유전자를 확인하였다(Pearson’s correlation test, P < 0.001, |r| > 0.4). 이러한 유전자의 발현 패턴의 계층 클러스터링 분석에 근거하여, 방광암 환자를 STC1-low 및 STC1-high의 2개 그룹으로 나누었다(도 2c). STC1-low 환자의 진행 생존률은 STC1-high 환자보다 상당히 높았다(log-rank test, P = 0.007; 도 2c). STC1-low 환자의 암-특이 생존률은 STC1-high 환자에 비해 상당히 높았다(log-rank test, P < 0.001; 도 2c). 본 발명에서는 또한 STC1 발현과 관련된 중요 시그널링 경로를 확인하였다. STC1 관련 367개 유전자의 GO 분석(279개 상향조절 유전자)을 DAVID software를 사용하여 실시하였다. 상향조절 유전자를 DAVID에 적용시켰을 때, 염증 반응, 세포외 매트릭스 조직화, 백혈구 이동, 세포 주화성, 시그널 트랜스덕션, 식균작용, 및 PI3K-Akt 시그널링 경로에 관련된 유전자가 상당히 풍부하였다(도 2d). 또한, STC1 발현에 밀접하게 관련된 21개 유전자도 확인하였다(도 2d). 독립적인 환자 코호트(GSE32894 및 GSE120736)로부터 유전자 발현 데이터를 사용하여 상기 발견을 입증하였다. Lund 코호트(GSE32984)에서의 시그니처-기반 계층 클러스터 분석과 동일한 과정을 통해, STC1-high 또는 STC1-low 그룹으로 방광암 환자를 계층화하였다(도 2e). STC1-low 환자의 진행 생존율은 STC1-high 환자보다 상당히 높았다(log-rank test, P = 0.001 및 P = 0.36; 도 2e). 또한, 방광암 환자를 Yonsei 코호트(GSE120736)에서의 두 그룹으로 계층화하였다. STC1-low 환자의 암-특이 생존율은 STC1-high 환자보다 상당히 더 높았다(log-rank test, P = 0.004; 도 2f).Because STC1 is commonly upregulated in many cancers and used as a prognostic marker, we further evaluated the expected level of STC1 in the survival outcomes of bladder cancer patients. This is to identify gene expression signatures directly related to STC1 expression levels and to use them as signatures to predict disease progression and likelihood of survival. In the GSE13507 cohort, 367 genes associated with STC1 expression were identified (Pearson’s correlation test, P < 0.001, |r| > 0.4). Based on hierarchical clustering analysis of the expression patterns of these genes, bladder cancer patients were divided into two groups: STC1-low and STC1-high (Figure 2c). The progression survival rate of STC1-low patients was significantly higher than that of STC1-high patients (log-rank test, P = 0.007; Fig. 2C). The cancer-specific survival rate of STC1-low patients was significantly higher than that of STC1-high patients (log-rank test, P < 0.001; Figure 2c). In the present invention, we also identified important signaling pathways related to STC1 expression. GO analysis of 367 STC1-related genes (279 upregulated genes) was performed using DAVID software. When the upregulated genes were subjected to DAVID, genes involved in inflammatory response, extracellular matrix organization, leukocyte migration, cell chemotaxis, signal transduction, phagocytosis, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway were significantly enriched (Figure 2D). Additionally, 21 genes closely related to STC1 expression were identified (Figure 2d). The findings were validated using gene expression data from independent patient cohorts (GSE32894 and GSE120736). Bladder cancer patients were stratified into STC1-high or STC1-low groups through the same process as the signature-based hierarchical cluster analysis in the Lund cohort (GSE32984) (Figure 2e). The progression survival rate of STC1-low patients was significantly higher than that of STC1-high patients (log-rank test, P = 0.001 and P = 0.36; Figure 2e). Additionally, bladder cancer patients were stratified into two groups in the Yonsei cohort (GSE120736). The cancer-specific survival rate of STC1-low patients was significantly higher than that of STC1-high patients (log-rank test, P = 0.004; Figure 2f).

3. STC1의 방광암에서 세포의 증식, 이동 및 침습 능력을 촉진 확인3. Confirmation of STC1 promoting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion ability in bladder cancer

증가된 STC1 발현은 다양한 유형의 암 환자에서 불량한 예후와 관련되어 있다. STC1이 방광암에서 세포 증식에 기여하는지 여부를 확인하기 위해, P0 세포주에 STC1 과발현 벡터(pSTC1) 또는 STC1의 small-interference RNA(siSTC1)로 트랜스펙션 시킨 세포주로 우선 발현 증가 및 감소를 확인했다 (도 3a). STC1 과발현 및 녹다운 시킨 세포주를 이용하여 MTT(도 3b) 실험을 통한 세포 증식과 클론원성 검정(도 3c)을 통한 콜로니 형성 능력을 확인하였다. 두 결과에서 모두 STC1의 발현에 따라 세포의 증식을 조절하는 것을 확인하였다(도 3b, c). 또한 STC1 과발현 안정(STC1 overexpressing stable; STC1 OE) 세포주에서도 대조군 세포와 비교하여 STC1의 mRNA, 단백질 발현 및 세포의 증식, 콜로니 형성 능력, 침습 및 이동 능력모두 증가한 결과를 확인하였습니다(도 4a, b, c). 이러한 결과들을 통해 STC1가 방광암에서 세포 증식뿐만 아니라 이동 및 침습 능력도 촉진시킨다는 것을 제시한다. Increased STC1 expression is associated with poor prognosis in patients with various types of cancer. To determine whether STC1 contributes to cell proliferation in bladder cancer, the increase and decrease in expression was first confirmed in the P0 cell line transfected with the STC1 overexpression vector (pSTC1) or the small-interference RNA of STC1 (siSTC1) ( Figure 3a). Using cell lines overexpressing and knocking down STC1, cell proliferation through MTT (Figure 3b) experiment and colony formation ability through clonogenic assay (Figure 3c) were confirmed. Both results confirmed that cell proliferation was controlled by the expression of STC1 (Figures 3b, c). In addition, in the STC1 overexpressing stable (STC1 OE) cell line, the mRNA and protein expression of STC1, cell proliferation, colony formation ability, invasion and migration ability were all increased compared to control cells (Figures 4a, b, c). These results suggest that STC1 promotes not only cell proliferation but also migration and invasion ability in bladder cancer.

4. STC1의 epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) 유전자들과의 상관관계 확인4. Confirmation of correlation of STC1 with epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) genes

GSE13507 데이터에서 STC1와 연관된 EMT-관련 유전자인 VIM, ZEB1, ZEB2, SNAI1, TWIST1, TWIST2, MMP1, MMP3, MMP9, NCAD, 및 CD44는 STC1와 양의 상관관계를 보였으며 (도 5a), mesenchymal-epithelial transition(MET)-관련 유전자인 SDC1 및 ECAD은 STC1와 음의 상관관계를 보였다(도 5b). 다음으로는 STC1가 방광암 세포에서 이동 및 EMT 관련 유전자간의 발현 조절 여부를 확인하기 위해, MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, NCAD, VIM, SNAIL, SLUG, ZEB1, ZEB2TWIST의 mRNA 발현이 증가됨을 확인하였다(도 6a). 웨스턴 블롯팅 결과를 통해, MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, NCAD, VIM, 및 SNAIL의 단백질 수준이 증가됨을 확인하였으며, 반대로 MET 관련 ECAD 단백질 수준이 감소됨을 확인하였다(도 6b).In the GSE13507 data, the EMT-related genes VIM, ZEB1, ZEB2, SNAI1, TWIST1, TWIST2, MMP1, MMP3, MMP9, NCAD, and CD44, which were associated with STC1, showed positive correlation with STC1 (Fig. 5a), and mesenchymal- The epithelial transition (MET)-related genes SDC1 and ECAD showed a negative correlation with STC1 (Figure 5b). Next, to determine whether STC1 regulates the expression of genes related to migration and EMT in bladder cancer cells, it was confirmed that the mRNA expression of MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, NCAD, VIM, SNAIL, SLUG, ZEB1, ZEB2, and TWIST was increased ( Figure 6a). Through Western blotting results, it was confirmed that the protein levels of MMP1, MMP2, MMP9, NCAD, VIM, and SNAIL were increased, and conversely, the MET-related ECAD protein level was confirmed to be decreased (Figure 6b).

5. STC1의 생체 내에서 방광암 종양 성장 및 폐 전이 증가 확인5. Confirmation of STC1 increased bladder cancer tumor growth and lung metastasis in vivo

대조군 세포 및 STC1 과발현 안정 세포를 수컷 BALB/C 누드 마우스의 옆구리 영역에 피하 주입하여 전체적인 실험 개략도는 다음과 같다(도 7a). STC1 과발현 안정 세포를 주입한 마우스 그룹의 체중은 대조군 마우스 그룹에 비해 유의하진 않지만 증가하였으며, 종양 크기는 급격히 증가하였다(도 7a, b). 도 9b는 대조군 및 STC1 과발현 안정 세포가 주입된 마우스의 옆구리에 형성된 종양의 대표 사진을 나타낸 것이다. STC1의 mRNA 발현은 대조군 세포 주입 마우스 그룹의 종양에서보다 STC1 과발현 안정 마우스 그룹에서 증가하였다(도 7c). 그러므로, IHC에 의해 확인된 STC1의 단백질 발현은 STC1 과발현 안정 세포주 주입 마우스 종양에서 증가하였다(도 7c). 이러한 결과들은 STC1가 생체 내에서 종양 성장을 증가시킴을 보인다. Control cells and STC1-overexpressing stable cells were injected subcutaneously into the flank area of male BALB/C nude mice. The overall experimental schematic is as follows (Figure 7a). The body weight of the mouse group injected with stable STC1-overexpressing cells increased, although not significantly, compared to the control mouse group, and the tumor size increased rapidly (Figure 7a, b). Figure 9b shows representative photographs of tumors formed on the flanks of mice injected with control and STC1-overexpressing stable cells. The mRNA expression of STC1 was increased in the STC1 overexpression stable mouse group than in the tumors of the control cell-injected mouse group (Figure 7c). Therefore, protein expression of STC1 confirmed by IHC was increased in mouse tumors injected with STC1 overexpressing stable cell line (Figure 7c). These results show that STC1 increases tumor growth in vivo.

그런 다음, STC1가 폐 전이를 조절하는지를 확인하기 위해, 대조군 및 STC1 과발현 안정 세포를 마우스 꼬리 정맥에 주입하여 전체적인 실험 개략도는 다음과 같다(도 8a). 두 그룹간의 체중 변화 및 폐 전이가 대조군의 마우스 그룹에 비해 STC1 과발현 안정 세포 마우스 그룹 모두 시간이 지남에 따라 증가됨을 관찰되었다(도 8a). STC1 과발현 안정 세포주가 주입된 마우스 그룹에서 대조군 세포 마우스 그룹에 비해 더 많고 큰 폐 결절이 확인되었다(도 8b). Ki67 및 STC1의 더 높은 발현이 STC1 과발현 안정 세포가 주입된 마우스의 폐 조직에서 확인되었다(도 8b). 또한, STC1 단백질 발현은 방광암 환자의 조직 샘플에서 Grade 1, 2, 3으로 나누어 확인하였으며, grade가 증가할수록 STC1의 발현 또한 증가하였다(도 8c). 이러한 결과들은 STC1은 종양 형성 및 폐 전이를 촉진시키는 중요한 역할을 시사한다.Then, to determine whether STC1 regulates lung metastasis, control and STC1-overexpressing stable cells were injected into the mouse tail vein. The overall experimental schematic is as follows (Figure 8a). It was observed that body weight change and lung metastasis between the two groups increased over time in both STC1-overexpressing stable cell mouse groups compared to the control mouse group (Figure 8a). More and larger lung nodules were identified in the mouse group injected with the STC1 overexpressing stable cell line compared to the control cell mouse group (Figure 8b). Higher expression of Ki67 and STC1 was confirmed in the lung tissue of mice injected with STC1-overexpressing stable cells (Figure 8B). In addition, STC1 protein expression was confirmed in tissue samples from bladder cancer patients divided into grades 1, 2, and 3, and as the grade increased, the expression of STC1 also increased (Figure 8c). These results suggest that STC1 plays an important role in promoting tumorigenesis and lung metastasis.

6. STC1 과발현 안정 세포의 조정 배지(CM)에서 확인된 분비성 STC1의 암 세포의 세포 성장, 침습, 및 이동을 유도 확인6. Confirmed secretory STC1 induced cell growth, invasion, and migration of cancer cells in conditioned medium (CM) of STC1-overexpressing stable cells

대조군 세포의 조정배지와 비교하여 STC1 과발현 안정 세포의 조정배지에서의 분비된 STC1 단백질의 양이 더 많은 것을 확인하였다(도 9a). 기능적 효과에 대해 세포 증식 및 콜로니 형성 검정을 실시하였으며, STC1 과발현 안정 세포의 조정배지를 방광암 세포에 처리했을 때 증식 및 콜로니 형성 능력이 상당히 가속화됨을 확인하였다(도 9a, b). 또한 세포 침입 및 이동 분석에서, STC1 과발현 안정 세포의 조정 배지에서 배양된 방광암 세포는 더 높은 세포 이동 및 침습 능력을 보였다(도 9c). 또한, 상처 회복 능력도 증가하였으며, STC1 과발현 안정 세포의 조정 배지를 농축하여 확인한 웨스턴 블롯팅 결과에서는 MMP1의 단백질 수준을 감소시켰으나 MMP2 및 9의 발현은 증가시켰으며, 이는 분비된 STC1 단백질이 방광암 세포에서 EMT 관련 유전자 발현을 촉진한다는 것 제시한다(도 9d). 또한, P15 세포의 조정 배지에서 분비된 STC1의 양은 P0 세포의 조정 배지에 보다 더 증가되었다(도 9e). 또한, 분비성 STC1 단백질의 양이 STC1 과발현 벡터를 형질주입한 세포와 STC1 과발현 안정 세포의 조정 배지에서 더 증가되었다(도 9e). 도 9f는, 도 8에서 진행한 실험의 마우스 혈액을 수집하여 혈청을 분리하고 혈청에 대해 인간 STC1 ELISA 검정을 실시한 결과를 나타낸 것으로, 대조군 세포를 주입한 마우스 그룹에 비해 STC1 과발현 안정 세포를 주입한 마우스 그룹의 혈청에서 더 많은 분비성 STC1 단백질이 발견되었다. STC1 분비 단백질이 방광암 세포에서 검출되는지를 확인하기 위해, P0 및 P15 세포의 조정 배지에 대해 인간 STC1 단백질의 ELISA 검정을 실시하였다. 즉, 분비된 STC1이 방광암 세포의 성장, 침습, 및 이동을 촉진한다.It was confirmed that the amount of secreted STC1 protein was greater in the conditioned medium of STC1 overexpressing stable cells compared to the conditioned medium of control cells (Figure 9a). Cell proliferation and colony formation assays were conducted for functional effects, and it was confirmed that when bladder cancer cells were treated with the conditioned medium from STC1-overexpressing stable cells, proliferation and colony formation abilities were significantly accelerated (Figures 9a, b). Additionally, in cell invasion and migration assays, bladder cancer cells cultured in conditioned medium from STC1-overexpressing stable cells showed higher cell migration and invasion abilities (Figure 9c). In addition, the wound recovery ability was also increased, and Western blotting results confirmed by concentrating the conditioned medium of STC1-overexpressing stable cells showed that the protein level of MMP1 was decreased, but the expression of MMP2 and 9 was increased, which means that the secreted STC1 protein is absorbed by bladder cancer cells. suggests that it promotes EMT-related gene expression (Figure 9d). Additionally, the amount of STC1 secreted in the conditioned medium of P15 cells was more increased than that in the conditioned medium of P0 cells (FIG. 9e). Additionally, the amount of secretory STC1 protein was further increased in the conditioned medium of cells transfected with the STC1 overexpression vector and STC1 overexpression stable cells (Figure 9e). Figure 9f shows the results of collecting mouse blood from the experiment conducted in Figure 8, separating serum, and performing a human STC1 ELISA assay on the serum. Compared to the mouse group injected with control cells, the group of mice injected with stable cells overexpressing STC1 was injected. More secretory STC1 protein was found in the serum of the mouse group. To determine whether STC1 secreted protein was detected in bladder cancer cells, an ELISA assay of human STC1 protein was performed on conditioned media from P0 and P15 cells. That is, secreted STC1 promotes the growth, invasion, and migration of bladder cancer cells.

7. 방광암 환자의 혈청 및 소변에서 확인된 분비성 STC1 단백질을 통해 방광암 환자의 진단 및 예후 예측 가능성 확인7. Confirmation of the possibility of diagnosing and predicting prognosis of bladder cancer patients through the secretory STC1 protein identified in the serum and urine of bladder cancer patients.

본 발명에서 분비된 STC1 단백질이 방광암의 전이와 관련됨을 확인하였다. 방광암 세포의 조정배지에서 분비된 STC1 단백질을 확인하고, 효과를 확인하기 위해, P0 및 P15 세포에 0, 100, 및 200 ng/mL의 재조합 인간 STC1 (rhSTC1) 단백질을 각각 0, 24, 48, 및 72시간 동안 처리하였다. rhSTC1 처리에 의한 세포 생존력은 72시간에 P0 세포에서 rhSTC1 처리에 의해 증가되었다. 그러나, P15 세포에는 효과가 없었다(도 10a). 방광암 세포에서 rhSTC1를 처리하여 확인한 세포 증식 능력도 100, 200 ng/mL rhSTC1가 처리된 P0 세포에서 콜로니 형성 능력 및 세포 이동 및 침습 능력 또한 증가하였다(도 10b). 이후, STC1 항체로 rhSTC1을 차단하여, rhSTC1의 전이 효과가 방광암 세포에서 없어지는 것을 확인하였다(도 10c). rhSTC1을 세포에 처리한 후에, 확인한 phosphorylated-FAK (p-FAK)의 발현이 증가하였다(도 10c). In the present invention, it was confirmed that the secreted STC1 protein is related to the metastasis of bladder cancer. To identify the STC1 protein secreted in the conditioned medium of bladder cancer cells and confirm the effect, 0, 100, and 200 ng/mL of recombinant human STC1 (rhSTC1) protein was added to P0 and P15 cells, respectively. and treated for 72 hours. Cell viability was increased by rhSTC1 treatment in P0 cells at 72 hours. However, there was no effect on P15 cells (Figure 10a). Cell proliferation ability, confirmed by treating bladder cancer cells with rhSTC1, also increased colony formation ability and cell migration and invasion ability in P0 cells treated with 100 and 200 ng/mL rhSTC1 (FIG. 10b). Afterwards, by blocking rhSTC1 with STC1 antibody, it was confirmed that the metastatic effect of rhSTC1 was lost in bladder cancer cells (FIG. 10c). After treating cells with rhSTC1, the expression of phosphorylated-FAK (p-FAK) increased (Figure 10c).

방광암 환자의 진단 및 예후를 예상하기 위한 STC1의 바이오마커로서의 유효성을 확인하기 위해, 건강한 대조 환자 및 방광암 환자의 혈청 및 소변에서 STC1의 발현을 확인하였다(도 11). 분비성 STC1의 증가된 수준이 건강한 대조 환자들에 비해 방광암 환자의 혈청에서 검출되었다(도 11a). 분비된 STC1 검출 또한 대조군 환자들에 비해 방광암 환자의 소변에서 확인되었으며, 환자의 등급 및 T 단계에 따라 달라지는 경향을 확인하였다. 재발이 확인된 샘플에서는 차이를 나타내지 않았다(도 11b). 이러한 결과들은 방광암 환자의 소변 및 혈청에서 분비된 STC1 단백질로 방광암을 확인할 수 있음을 제시한다. 이러한 결과들은 STC1가 바이오마커 후보로서 활용될 수 있음을 확인해 주었다.To confirm the effectiveness of STC1 as a biomarker for predicting the diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer patients, the expression of STC1 was confirmed in the serum and urine of healthy control patients and bladder cancer patients (FIG. 11). Increased levels of secretory STC1 were detected in the serum of bladder cancer patients compared to healthy control patients (Figure 11A). Detection of secreted STC1 was also confirmed in the urine of bladder cancer patients compared to control patients, and a tendency to vary depending on the patient's grade and T stage was confirmed. Samples with confirmed recurrence showed no differences (Figure 11B). These results suggest that bladder cancer can be identified using the STC1 protein secreted in the urine and serum of bladder cancer patients. These results confirmed that STC1 can be used as a biomarker candidate.

따라서, 본 발명의 방광암 바이오마커인 STC1은, 방광암 환자에서 고발현 되면, 환자의 불량한 예후와 관계된 것을 확인하였다. 또한, STC1의 발현이 증가할수록, 방광암 세포의 증식, 침윤 및 전이가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, STC1이 방광암 환자의 혈청 또는 소변에서 검출되고, 환자의 임상 병기에 따른 발현 차이를 확인하여, 효과적으로 방광암의 진단 및 예후 예측에 이용될 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.Therefore, it was confirmed that STC1, the bladder cancer biomarker of the present invention, is associated with poor prognosis of patients when expressed at high levels in bladder cancer patients. In addition, it was confirmed that as the expression of STC1 increased, the proliferation, invasion, and metastasis of bladder cancer cells increased. In addition, it was confirmed that STC1 was detected in the serum or urine of bladder cancer patients, and that expression differences depending on the patient's clinical stage were confirmed, and that it can be effectively used to diagnose and predict the prognosis of bladder cancer.
