Abstract
BackgroundThe status of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) in metabolic syndrome (MetS) is unknown.ObjectiveTo investigate the association between serum CA19-9 levels and incident metabolic syndrome in obese middle-aged and older men.MethodsFrom 2007 to 2015, 1,750 participants were retrospectively reviewed. Health checkup data were obtained, and participants were divided into three groups based on CA19-9 levels. Various parameters including BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters were measured. Cox regression analysis was used to assess the association between CA19-9 levels and incident MetS. The MetS diagnostic criteria were based on the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III guidelines.ResultsThe highest CA19-9 tertile was associated with an increased risk of incident MetS, high systolic blood pressure, high waist circumference, high fasting plasma glucose, low high-density lipoprotein, and high triglyceride levels. The observation period was 9 years, during which 328 (18.7%) new-onset MetS cases were identified. Subgroup analysis showed increased risk among individuals in the highest CA19-9 tertile who were obese, male, and ≥ 50 years old.ConclusionsThere is a positive correlation between serum CA19-9 levels and incident metabolic syndrome in obese middle-aged and older men.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers with a very poor 5-year survival rate and reduced therapeutic options when diagnosed in an advanced stage. The dismal prognosis of pancreatic cancer has guided significant efforts to discover novel biomarkers in order to anticipate diagnosis, increasing the population of patients who can benefit from curative surgical treatment. CA 19-9 is the reference biomarker that supports the diagnosis and guides the response to treatments. However, it has significant limitations, a low specificity, and is inefficient as a screening tool. Several potential biomarkers have been discovered in the serum, urine, feces, and pancreatic juice of patients. However, most of this evidence needs further validation in larger cohorts. The advent of advanced omics sciences and liquid biopsy techniques has further enhanced this field of research. The aim of this review is to analyze the historical evolution of the research on novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, focusing on the current evidence for the most promising biomarkers from different body fluids and the novel trends in research, such as omics sciences and liquid biopsy, in order to favor the application of modern personalized medicine.

Association of Circulating Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 Level with Type 2 Diabetic Kidney Disease in Chinese Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study. Diabetes Metab Syndr Obes 2024; 17:467-477. [PMID: 38312210 PMCID: PMC10838495 DOI: 10.2147/dmso.s434972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Accepted: 01/16/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective Very few and conflicting data are available regarding the correlation between circulating carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and its components including albuminuria and a low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). This study aimed to examine the association of circulating CA19-9 and DKD in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 402 hospitalized T2DM patients between September 2017 and December 2021 were included in this cross-sectional study. There were 224 and 178 subjects in non-DKD and DKD groups, respectively. Serum CA19-9 was measured by chemiluminescence method, and its potential relationship with DKD was evaluated by multivariate logistic regression and correlation analyses, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results T2DM patients with DKD had significantly higher serum CA19-9 levels than those without, and serum CA19-9 levels were positively related to urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and negatively to eGFR (P<0.01). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that serum CA 19-9 was an independent factor of DKD [odds ratio (OR), 1.018; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.002-1.035; P<0.05]. Moreover, an increased progressively risk of DKD with an increase in serum CA19-9 quartiles was observed (P for trend <0.001), and T2DM patients in the highest serum CA19-9 quartile were associated with an increased likelihood of DKD when compared to those in the lowest quartile (OR: 2.936, 95% CI 1.129-7.633, P<0.05). Last, the analysis of ROC curves suggested that serum CA 19-9 at a cut of 25.09 U/mL resulted in the highest Youden index with sensitivity 43.8% and 75.4% specificity to predict the presence of DKD. Conclusion These results showed that high circulating CA19-9 was related to DKD and may serve as a useful biomarker of DKD in hospitalized Chinese T2DM patients.

Abstract
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA 19-9) is a commonly used tumor marker for pancreatic cancer. However, CA 19-9 can be overexpressed in several benign inflammatory diseases. We investigated the relationship between high CA 19-9 level and low muscle mass (LMM) in healthy adults without cancer. Participants who underwent evaluation of muscle mass and CA 19-9 were included. Exclusion criteria were any malignancy, cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, and chronic lung/liver disease. Participants were classified into "normal", "mild LMM", and "severe LMM" groups based on the skeletal muscle mass index. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to assess the association of high CA 19-9 with muscle mass status. A total of 263,061 adults were included. The mean age and SMI were 41.03 years and 7.13 kg/m2. After adjustments for various confounders, high CA 19-9 was independently associated with mild LMM (adjusted odds ratio, 1.677 [95% confidence interval, 1.533-1.834]) and severe LMM (2.651 [2.126-3.306]) compared to the normal group. Furthermore, the association between high CA 19-9 and severe LMM was stronger in men than in women. Elevated CA 19-9 levels were independently associated with a higher prevalence of LMM in healthy adults without cancer. Therefore, increased CA 19-9 could be utilized as a novel biomarker for sarcopenia.

Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Accompanied by Elevated Serum CA19-9 Associated Not with Pancreatic Cancer but Interstitial Lung Disease. DUBAI DIABETES AND ENDOCRINOLOGY JOURNAL 2022. [DOI: 10.1159/000524603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> CA19-9 is the most reliable tumor marker for pancreatic cancer, with 70–90% sensitivity, 90% specificity, 69% positive predictive value, and 90% negative predictive value. However, increased CA19-9 levels have been observed in benign conditions, pancreatitis, pulmonary disease, smoking, and hepatobiliary system disease. Numerous studies have reported that circulating CA19-9 levels are elevated during hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus (DM) and have been associated with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). However, the precise mechanism behind increased serum CA19-9 levels in diabetes remains still unclear. Here, we report a case of type 2 DM (T2DM) accompanied by elevated serum CA19-9 levels due to not pancreatic cancer but interstitial pneumonitis. <b><i>Case Report:</i></b> The patient, a 73-year-old Japanese woman, was taking metformin (1,500 mg/day), repaglinide (1.5 mg/day), and sitagliptin (50 mg/day). Over the past year, she also took atorvastatin (5 mg/day) and azilsartan (40 mg/day). The patient had been followed up for systemic scleroderma (with low-dose steroid therapy) and mild interstitial lung disease (ILD) (without treatment) for a number of years at a different hospital. The patient’s peripheral blood laboratory findings were normal range. Her HbA1c level fluctuated between 7.0% and 8.0% in the past 6 months. Her CA19-9 level was fluctuated between 562.7 and 823.2 U/mL (normal <37), and her KL-6 level was fluctuated between 516 and 557 U/L (normal <500) in the past 6 months. Due to the marked increase in the CA19-9 level, an extensive screening examination was performed for malignancy, including abdominal ultrasound scan, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, revealing no malignancy. We observed bilateral pulmonary lesions (bottom of lungs) and ground-glass opacity on the chest CT. The pancreatic monoclonal antigen type 2 (DU-PAN-2) level was <25 U/mL. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> In our case, CA19-9 levels were increased in association not with pancreatic cancer but with ILD. Thus, when T2DM is accompanied by elevated serum CA19-9 levels, attention needs to be paid not only to the presence of pancreatic cancer but also to the possible ILD. Especially, when diabetes and ILD are treated in different hospitals, diabetologists need to pay attention about the presence of hidden ILD besides DM.

[PMID: 32827580 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbcan.2020.188409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 182] [Impact Index Per Article: 45.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2020] [Revised: 06/29/2020] [Accepted: 07/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is the best validated biomarker and an indicator of aberrant glycosylation in pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 functions as a biomarker, predictor, and promoter in pancreatic cancer. As a biomarker, the sensitivity is approximately 80%, and the major challenges involve false positives in conditions of inflammation and nonpancreatic cancers and false negatives in Lewis-negative Individuals. Lewis antigen status should be determined when using CA19-9 as a biomarker. CA19-9 has screening potential when combined with symptoms and/or risk factors. As a predictor, CA19-9 could be used to assess stage, prognosis, resectability, recurrence, and therapeutic efficacy. Normal baseline levels of CA19-9 are associated with long-term survival. As a promoter, CA19-9 could be used to evaluate the biology of pancreatic cancer. CA19-9 can accelerate pancreatic cancer progression by glycosylating proteins, binding to E-selectin, strengthening angiogenesis, and mediating the immunological response. CA19-9 is an attractive therapeutic target for cancer, and strategies include therapeutic antibodies and vaccines, CA19-9-guided nanoparticles, and inhibition of CA19-9 biosynthesis.

Deng GC, Yan H, Guo ZP, Dai G. Correlation Between Baseline Serum Tumor Markers and Clinical Characteristic Factors in Patients with Advanced Pancreatic Cancer. Onco Targets Ther 2020; 13:11151-11163. [PMID: 33173307 PMCID: PMC7646411 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s269720] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE In pancreatic cancer (PC), CA 19-9, CEA and CA 125 are the most widely used tumor markers. The aim of this study was to explore the prognostic significance of baseline levels of serum CA 19-9, CEA, and CA 125, and to evaluate the clinical significance of these markers in PC patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 278 patients with advanced PC that had received first-line chemotherapy treatments were examined. Correlation analysis between the tumor markers and clinical characteristics was performed using a Pearson's Chi-squared test or Fisher's exact test. A Pearson's correlation test was utilized to investigate the relationship between tumor markers and peripheral blood parameters. Univariate analysis was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared using a Log rank test. Multivariate analysis was performed using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. RESULTS Both individually and collectively, the baseline CA 19-9, CEA and CA 125 levels were positively associated with the primary tumor site (p < 0.01), liver metastasis (p < 0.05), and number of organ metastases (p < 0.05). Furthermore, CA 19-9, CEA and CA 125 were correlated to baseline WBC (p < 0.001) and LDH (p < 0.01) levels. Additionally, CA 19-9 was correlated with years of smoking (p = 0.024); diabetes and years of diabetes (p = 0.012); baseline glycemic levels (p = 0.004); and neutrophil counts (p < 0.001). Moreover, CA 125 levels were associated with the baseline neutrophil counts (p < 0.001) and peritoneal metastasis (p = 0.008). When examining neutrophil, LDH, CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels were found to be associated with overall survival (OS) and shown to be independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION CA 19-9, CEA and CA 125 are correlated with multiple clinical factors. Baseline neutrophil, LDH, CA 19-9 and CA 125 levels are associated with OS and may potentially serve as prognostic factors.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Elevated serum cancer antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) levels have been found in diabetes patients in most observational studies; however, whether there is a causal association between CA19-9 and diabetes mellitus is unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS Our study was carried out based on the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort comprising 27,009 individuals. We first investigated the associations between serum CA19-9 levels and incident diabetes mellitus risk in a prospective cohort study (12,700 individuals). Then, we explored the potential causal relationship between CA19-9 and diabetes mellitus risk in a cross-sectional study (3,349 diabetes mellitus patients and 8,341 controls) using Mendelian randomization analysis. A weighted genetic risk score was calculated by adding the CA19-9 increasing alleles in five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (rs17271883, rs3760776 and rs3760775 in FUT6, rs11880333 in CA11, rs265548 in B3GNT3, and rs1047781 in FUT2), which were identified in a previous genome-wide association study on serum CA19-9 levels. RESULTS In the prospective study, a total of 1,004 incident diabetes mellitus patients were diagnosed during a mean 4.54-year follow-up period. Elevated serum CA19-9 level was associated with a higher incident diabetes risk after adjustment for confounders, with a hazard ratio of 1.20 (95% confidence interval 1.11-1.30) per standard deviation (12.17 U/mL) CA19-9 increase. Using the genetic score to estimate the unconfounded effect, we did not find a causal association of CA19-9 with diabetes risk (odds ratio per weighted CA19-9-increasing allele: 0.99, 95% confidence interval 0.94-1.04; P = 0.61). CONCLUSIONS The present study did not support a causal association of serum CA19-9 with diabetes risk. CA19-9 might be a potential biomarker of incident diabetes mellitus risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) are tumor-associated antigens. An increased serum level of CEA and CA19-9 separately has been reported in diabetes. In this study, we examined the composite effect of elevated serum levels of both CEA and CA19-9 on subjects with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 3568 adults who attended a health examination were enrolled into this cross-sectional study. Subjects were grouped into four groups according to the median serum CEA and CA19-9 levels. RESULTS Subjects with high CEA and high CA19-9 levels had the highest proportions of diabetes (43.9%) and prediabetes (33.04%). There was a statistically significant trend in the proportion of diabetes across the four groups (P < 0.001). Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed higher risks of type 2 diabetes in subjects with high CEA and low CA19-9 levels (odds ratio [OR] = 2.10, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.39-3.18, P < 0.001) and in those with high CA19-9 and low CEA levels (OR = 2.18, 95% CI: 1.42-3.34, P < 0.001) than in those with low CEA and low CA19-9 levels; among these four groups, the highest risk of type 2 diabetes was observed in subjects with high CEA and high CA19-9 levels (OR = 2.65, 95% CI: 1.81-3.88, P < 0.001). The risk of prediabetes was significantly higher only in subjects with high CEA and high CA19-9 levels compared to those with low CEA and low CA19-9 levels (OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.08-1.61, P = 0.006). CONCLUSION CEA and CA19-9 had a synergistic ability to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a highly lethal malignancy. CA19-9 is a well-known marker for diagnosis of pancreatic cancer, but the serum CA19-9 level is reported to be elevated in patients with poorly controlled diabetes. This study evaluated the sensitivity, specificity, and cut-off value of serum CA19-9 for detection of pancreatic cancer in patients with diabetes. A case-control study of 236 patients was performed. The case group was selected from diabetic patients with pancreatic cancer, while one control was selected for each case from among diabetic patients without pancreatic cancer during the same period. The case group (n = 118) and the control group (n = 118) were matched for age, sex, and pancreatic cancer risk factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to determine the serum CA19-9 level that predicted pancreatic cancer. Then the sensitivity and specificity of CA19-9 were calculated for the threshold value. There were no significant differences of age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol intake, and HbA1c between the case and control groups. According to ROC analysis, a serum CA19-9 level of 75 U/mL had the maximum sensitivity and specificity for separating diabetic patients with or without pancreatic cancer. Using this cut-off value, the sensitivity and specificity of CA19-9 for pancreatic cancer was 69.5% and 98.2%, respectively, while the area under the ROC curve was 0.875 [95%CI: 0.826-0.924]. We propose that a serum CA19-9 level of 75 U/mL should be used as the cut-off value when screening patients with diabetes for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Increasing evidence suggests that serum CA 19-9 is associated with abnormal glucose metabolism. However, data on the association between CA 19-9 and metabolic syndrome is limited. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between serum CA 19-9 and metabolic syndrome. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted on 3641 participants aged ≥40 years from the Songnan Community, Baoshan District in Shanghai, China. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between serum CA 19-9 and metabolic syndrome. RESULTS Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with participants in the first tertile of serum CA 19-9, those in the second and third tertiles had increased odds ratios (OR) for prevalent metabolic syndrome (multivariate adjusted OR 1.46 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.11-1.92] and 1.51 [95% CI 1.14-1.98]; P trend = 0.005). In addition, participants with elevated serum CA 19-9 (≥37 U/mL) had an increased risk of prevalent metabolic syndrome compared with those with serum CA 19-9 < 37 U/mL (multivariate adjusted OR 2.10; 95% CI 1.21-3.65). CONCLUSION Serum CA 19-9 is associated with an increased risk of prevalent metabolic syndrome. In order to confirm this association and identify potential mechanisms, prospective cohort and mechanic studies should be performed.

Abstract
AIMS Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 is a tumor marker for gastrointestinal and pancreatic cancers. Previous studies found that CA 19-9 was elevated in patients with diabetes, but little is known about its relationship with diabetes risk in prospective studies. Our objective was to evaluate the association between serum CA 19-9 and the risk of incident diabetes in Chinese population. METHODS Data were obtained from a prospective cohort study among 2391 middle-aged and elderly Chinese with a median follow-up of 3.8 years. The measurement for the study outcome was incident diabetes. RESULTS Compared with individuals in the lowest quartile, those in the highest quartile of CA 19-9 had significantly higher incidence of diabetes (12.54 vs. 8.86%, P = 0.04). In the fully adjusted logistic regression model, compared with the lowest quartile, the highest quartile of CA 19-9 was significantly associated with 58% increased risk of incident diabetes [odds ratio (OR), 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.58, 1.02-2.44]. Stratified analysis suggested that the increased risk was seen only in women (OR, 95% CI 1.96, 1.10-3.48), or participants aged ≥65 (OR, 95% CI 2.32, 1.03-5.19), or those with body mass index ≥24 (OR, 95% CI 2.09, 1.20-3.63), or current nondrinkers (OR, 95% CI 1.79, 1.09-2.92), or those with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) (OR, 95% CI 2.49, 1.33-4.67). Significant interaction was detected between IGR and serum CA 19-9 (P for interaction <0.0001). CONCLUSIONS Serum CA 19-9 is associated with a significantly increased risk of diabetes among the middle-aged and elderly Chinese population. Further investigations are needed to confirm this association and disclose potential mechanisms.

Unexpected distribution of CA19.9 and other type 1 chain Lewis antigens in normal and cancer tissues of colon and pancreas: Importance of the detection method and role of glycosyltransferase regulation. Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2016; 1861:3210-3220. [PMID: 27535614 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbagen.2016.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/22/2016] [Revised: 07/29/2016] [Accepted: 08/12/2016] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND CA19.9 antigen has been assumed as an abundant product of cancer cells, due to the reactivity found by immunohistochemical staining of cancer tissues with anti-CA19.9 antibody. METHODS Expression and biosynthesis of type 1 chain Lewis antigens in the colon and the pancreas were studied by immunodetection in tissue sections and lysates, quantification of glycosyltransferase transcripts, bisulfite sequencing, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. RESULTS CA19.9 was poorly detectable in normal colon mucosa and almost undetectable in colon cancer, while it was easily detected in the pancreatic ducts, together with Lewis b antigen, under both normal and cancer conditions. B3GALT5 transcripts were down-regulated in colon cancer, while they remained expressed in pancreatic cancer. Even ST3GAL3 transcript appeared well expressed in the pancreas but poorly in the colon, irrespective of normal or cancer conditions. CpG islands flanking B3GALT5 native promoter presented an extremely low degree of methylation in pancreatic cancer with respect to colon cancer. In a DNA region about 1kb away from the B3GALT5 retroviral promoter, a stretch of CG dinucleotides presented a methylation pattern potentially associated with transcription. Such a DNA region and the transcription factor binding site provided overlapping results by chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, corroborating the hypothesis. CONCLUSIONS CA19.9 appears as a physiological product whose synthesis strongly depends on the tissue specific and epigenetically-regulated expression of B3GALT5 and ST3GAL3. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE CA19.9 and other Lewis antigens acquire tumor marker properties in the pancreas due to mechanisms giving rise to reabsorption into vessels and elevation in circulating levels.

The relation between CA 19-9 level and early-phase insulin secretion in normoglycemic and prediabetic subjects. Int J Biol Markers 2015; 30:e169-73.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 is used as a clinical tumor marker of pancreatic cancer; recent studies report that CA 19-9 is also associated with changes in blood glucose levels. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between serum CA 19-9 levels and early-phase insulin secretion in nondiabetic individuals. METHODS We enrolled 269 normoglycemic participants and 172 prediabetic participants who had undergone the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test during their annual health examination. Insulin secretion was estimated using the disposition index (DI) [(Δinsulin(0-30 min)/Δglucose(0-30 min) × (1/HOMA-IR)], which is an adjusted measure of relationship between β-cell sensitivity and insulin sensitivity. RESULTS Serum CA 19-9 level was significantly higher in the prediabetic participants than in the normoglycemic participants. Simple linear regression analysis showed a negative correlation between CA 19-9 levels and DI for all participants and prediabetic participants (r = -0.126, p = 0.009, and r = -0.189, p = 0.002, respectively). However, in the normoglycemic participants, CA 19-9 levels did not correlate with DI. For all participants, and prediabetic subjects, multivariate linear regression analysis revealed that serum CA 19-9 levels were one of the independent predictors of DI (adjusted β = -0.098, p = 0.025, and adjusted β = -0.177, p = 0.004, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Serum CA 19-9 levels significantly correlate with early-phase insulin secretion in the prediabetic individuals. Our results indicate that CA 19-9 may be involved in the endocrine function of pancreas.

Decreased serum CA19-9 is associated with improvement of insulin resistance and metabolic control in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. J Diabetes Investig 2014; 5:694-700. [PMID: 25422770 PMCID: PMC4234233 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.12200] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2013] [Revised: 12/02/2013] [Accepted: 12/24/2013] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Aims/Introduction Patients with type 2 diabetes are known to show elevated serum levels of carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9). The aim of the present study was to investigate the possible relationships of CA19-9 with metabolic control, insulin resistance (IR), and pancreatic β-cell function in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes who underwent Roux-En-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). Materials and Methods The present study included 81 healthy volunteers, and 33 patients diagnosed with obesity and type 2 diabetes who underwent RYGB. Anthropometry, serum levels of CA19-9, glucose and lipid metabolic profiles, and serum insulin levels were determined at baseline and at 12 weeks after RYGB. Results Changes in CA19-9 were significantly and positively correlated with changes in fasting plasma glucose (r = 0.552, P = 0.001), 2-h post-challenge plasma glucose levels (r = 0.623, P = 0.000), glycated hemoglobin levels (r = 0.819, P = 0.000), glycated albumin levels (r = 0.711, P = 0.000), total cholesterol (r = 0.449, P = 0.009) and the Homeostasis Model of Assessment-IR index (r = 0.407, P = 0.019). Furthermore, a multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the changes in serum levels of CA19-9 were independently and significantly associated with changes in glycated hemoglobin (β = 0.598, P = 0.000), fasting plasma glucose (β = 0.309, P = 0.000) and Homeostasis Model of Assessment-IR (β = 0.235, P = 0.010) after adjusting for confounding factors. Conclusions CA19-9 could be an effective indicator of IR, and glycemic and lipid metabolism in patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes after rapid metabolic control by RYGB. Additionally, CA19-9 might be a marker with which to evaluate the short-term effects of glycolipid toxicity on IR in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is frequently tested in cancer patients. However, elevated CA19-9 can be found in many benign diseases. We investigated the relationship between elevated CA19-9 and diseases, and presented suggestions for its utility in a health check-up cohort. METHODS From June 2008 to December 2008, we enrolled consecutive health check-up individuals with elevated CA19-9 (>37 U/mL). They were divided into three groups: group A (malignant diseases), group B (decreasing concentrations), and group C (increasing concentrations) according to the following criteria: (i) CA19-9 was rechecked monthly in the first 3 months; (ii) follow-up was completed if malignancy was found or if CA19-9 concentration dropped to normal; (iii) if CA19-9 kept increasing, it was monitored every 3 months; (4) total duration was 1 year. RESULTS Among 33,867 individuals, 572 (1.7%) individuals showed elevated CA19-9 concentration. A total of 509 (90.0%) individuals finished at 1-year follow-up. In total, nine (1.8%) individuals were diagnosed with malignancies. For 336 (66.0%) individuals CA19-9 concentrations dropped to normal, whereas for 164 (32.2%) individuals it kept rising. Interestingly, we did not find any differences in concentration levels between group A and group C. The main associated benign diseases included fatty liver (25.3%), cholecystolithiasis (13.9%), and chronic hepatitis B (13.9%). CONCLUSIONS Dynamic monitoring of CA19-9 is recommended in asymptomatic populations with elevated CA19-9 concentrations.

Abstract
Background Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental conditions with symptoms manifesting before the age of 3, generally persisting throughout life and affecting social development and communication. Here, we have investigated changes in protein biomarkers in blood during childhood and adolescent development. Methods We carried out a multiplex immunoassay profiling analysis of serum samples from 37 individuals with a diagnosis of ASD and their matched, non-affected siblings, aged between 4 and 18 years, to identify molecular pathways affected over the course of ASDs. Results This analysis revealed age-dependent differences in the levels of 12 proteins involved in inflammation, growth and hormonal signaling. Conclusions These deviations in age-related molecular trajectories provide further insight into the progression and pathophysiology of the disorder and, if replicated, may contribute to better classification of ASD individuals, as well as to improved treatment and prognosis. The results also underline the importance of stratifying and analyzing samples by age, especially in ASD and potentially other developmental disorders.
