Serum Periostin Predicts Survival in Lung Cancer Patients
Biomedica´s Periostin ELISA kit has recently been featured in a clinical study for lung cancer: Serum Periostin Predicts Survival in Lung Cancer Patients.
Lung adenocarcinoma is the most common type of lung cancer. When first diagnosed, between 30-50% of patients have bone metastasis with poor survival outcome. The extracellular matrix protein Periostin mediates the spreading of lung cancer. In vivo data suggest that bone metastatic lung cancer cells induce Periostin expression that may enhance cancer aggressivity. A recent report in patients with lung adenocarcinoma demonstrates that serum Periostin levels may be used as a prognostic biomarker to predict survival in lung cancer.

Abstract
More than 35% of lung adenocarcinoma patients have bone metastases at diagnosis and have a poor survival. Periostin, a carboxylated matrix protein, mediates lung cancer cell dissemination by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and is involved in bone response to mechanical stress and bone formation regulation. This suggests that periostin may be used as a biomarker to predict survival in lung cancer patients. Serum periostin was assessed at diagnosis in a prospective cohort of 133 patients with lung adenocarcinoma of all stages. Patients were divided into localized and bone metastatic groups. Both groups were matched to healthy controls. Survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards models were conducted in the total population and in bone metastatic group. The median serum periostin level was higher in bone metastatic (n = 67; median: 1752 pmol/L) than in the localized group (n = 66; 861 pmol/L; p < 0.0001). Patients with high periostin (>median) had a poorer overall survival in the whole population (33.3 weeks vs. NR; p < 0.0001) and the bone metastatic group (24.4 vs. 66.1 weeks; p < 0.001). In multivariate analysis, patients with high periostin had increased risk of death (HR = 2.09, 95%CI [1.06-4.13]; p = 0.03). This was also found in the bone metastatic group (HR = 3.62, 95%CI [1.74-7.52]; p = 0.0005). Immunohistochemistry on bone metastasis biopsies showed periostin expression in the bone matrix and nuclear and cytoplasmic staining in cancer cells. Serum periostin was an independent survival biomarker in all-stage and in bone metastatic lung adenocarcinoma patients. IHC data suggest that periostin might be induced in cancer cells in bone metastatic niche in addition to bone microenvironment expression.

Abstract
Purpose: Periostin is a secreted extracellular matrix protein, which was originally described in osteoblasts. It supports osteoblastic differentiation and bone formation and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several human malignancies, including breast cancer. However, little is known about the prognostic value of serum periostin levels in breast cancer. Methods: In this study, we analyzed serum levels of periostin in a cohort of 509 primary, non-metastatic breast cancer patients. Disseminated tumor cell (DTC) status was determined using bone marrow aspirates obtained from the anterior iliac crests. Periostin levels were stratified according to several clinical parameters and Pearson correlation analyses were performed. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were assessed by using the log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. To identify prognostic factors, multivariate Cox regression analyses were used. Results: Mean serum levels of periostin were 505 ± 179 pmol/l. In older patients (> 60 years), periostin serum levels were significantly increased compared to younger patients (540 ± 184 pmol/l vs. 469 ± 167 pmol/l; p < 0.0001) and age was positively correlated with periostin expression (p < 0.0001). When stratifying the cohort according to periostin serum concentrations, the overall and breast cancer-specific mortality were significantly higher in those patients with high serum periostin (above median) compared to those with low periostin during a mean follow-up of 8.5 years (17.7% vs. 11.4% breast cancer-specific death; p = 0.03; hazard ratio 1.65). Periostin was confirmed to be an independent prognostic marker for breast cancer-specific survival (p = 0.017; hazard ratio 1.79). No significant differences in serum periostin were observed when stratifying the patients according to their DTC status. Conclusions: Our findings emphasize the relevance of periostin in breast cancer and reveal serum periostin as a potential marker for disease prediction, independent on the presence of micrometastases.

Abstract
The periostin protein, encoded by the POSTN gene, is a component of the extracellular matrix, which is expressed by fibroblasts and has been observed in a variety of human malignancies. The present study aimed to detect the expression of periostin in the tissues of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and benign lung tumors, and to correlate the results with the clinicopathological data of the subjects, in order to evaluate periostin as a potential prognostic marker. In total, 49 NSCLC patients and 6 benign lung tumors were included in this study. The protein level of periostin was detected in paired normal/paratumor/cancer tissues by a western blot analysis and the mRNA level in paired normal/cancer tissues was detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). The results were then correlated with established biological and prognostic factors. Immunohistochemistry was used to confirm the location of periostin in the NSCLC tissues. Uni- and multivariate analyses were performed using Cox’s proportional hazards regression model. The protein level of periostin was elevated in the cancer tissue of the NSCLC patients compared with the normal (P=0.017) and paratumor (P=0.000) tissues. The expression level in the male patients was much higher than in the female patients at the protein (P=0.001) and mRNA (P=0.010) levels. The mRNA level in the non-adenocarcinoma (non-ADC) patients was much higher than in the adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients (P=0.029). Periostin was demonstrated higher expression at the protein level in the pseudotumors and tuberculosis patients than in the adjacent (P=0.016) and surrounding tissues (P=0.001). Immunostaining indicated that high levels of periostin were present in the mesenchymal areas, but not in the cancer cells themselves. The patients with tumors exhibiting high-level periostin expression showed a significantly shorter survival time (P=0.036, log-rank test). The 3-year survival rate was 81.5% for patients with low-level periostin expression (periostin-L; n=27) and 45.4% for patients with high-level periostin expression (periostin-H; n=22). Similarly, pathological node (pN) status was a significant prognostic marker in the univariate Cox survival analysis. Notably, periostin-H expression was also identified as an independent prognostic factor by the multivariate analysis (P=0.011). These results showed that the overexpression of periostin predicts a poor prognosis, therefore it may be regarded as a novel molecule in the progression and development of NSCLC. The results provide an additional target for the adjuvant treatment of NSCLC.
