Investigating the role of biomarkers using liquid biopsy in diagnosis for meningiomas Stj. Dr Hasiba Karimi Mentor: Prof. Dr. Mustafa Aziz Hatibo lu 14.03.22
Presentation plan Meningiomas Challenges in Diagnosis & Management Liquid biopsy The Gap in Knowledge Aim of the study Method Results Conclusion
Meningioma The most common primary brain tumor in adults The majority of meningiomas are benign tumors (WHO I) Diagnosed with radiological methods No effective pharmacological intervention has been established to date Differentiation of meningiomas from other malignancies is challenging Imaging may not provide information on the grade of meningiomas
Challenges in Diagnosis Challenges in selecting treatment choice (follow up, surgical resection, Gamma Knife) and extent of tumor resection Only help identify the tumors when they reach a certain size Increasing the risk of malignancy overtime Slow growing tumors and might go undetected for years. Tissue biopsy; for the definitive diagnosis and histological classification of meningioma; Invasive method with effectiveness limited to stage of the tumor detected and the area that s biopsied. Potential morbidity
Liquid biopsy Liquid biopsy is: less invasive more feasible easier to repeat ME;, K. A. W. H. P. C. W. (n.d.). The use of microfluidic technology for cancer applications and liquid biopsy. Micromachines. Retrieved March 4, 2022, from https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30424330/ providing valuable information about the tumor molecular structure and genomic dynamics.
Gap in Knowledge c-MYC, FABP7, GATA4 and MAOB; implicated with meningioma grades using tumor tissue samples; Their roles in diagnosing, staging and prognosis of meningioma is unclear yet. Have not been studied from liquid biopsy samples before.
Aim of the study To identify diagnostic and prognostic potential of c-MYC, FABP7, GATA4 and MAOB in liquid biopsy samples of patients with meningioma.
Materials & Method 20 patients undergoing surgery for meningioma included May 2017 March 2021 Tumor and serum samples from 20 meningioma patients who underwent surgical resection in Bezmialem Vak f university Hospital Stored at -80 C
Materials & Method 15 healthy individuals used for controls. The expression level of FABP7, GATA-4, c-MYC, and MAOB genes were evaluated with real time PCR Patient s clinical data including age, gender, radiological findings, simpson grade, post surgical complication and recurrence were retrospectively collected. GraphPad Prism 3.0 was used for data analysis
DemographicInformation Characteristic Value Cases Total (F/M) 20 (12/8) Median age (range), years 53 (41-75) Histological type, Grade; Atypical/Clear cell, Grade 2 9 patients Transitional,Grade 1 8 patients Angiomatosis,Grade 1 1 patient Fibrous,Grade 1 1 patient Meningothelial,Grade 1 1 patient
Results Comparision of gene expressions in serum samples between control and meningioma pateints p=0.036 P=0.412 p=0.0425 P=0.614
Comparision of gene expressions in serum samples between Control, Grade 1, and Grade 2 meningioma pateints p=0.032 control and grade 2
Comparision of gene expressions in Tumor samples between Grade 1 and Grade 2 meningioma pateints p=0.003 P=0.120 p=0.041 p=0.0310
Conclusion The expression level of GATA-4, c-MYC and MAOB were statistically significant in grade II meningioma tumor samples The expression level of MAOB was statistically significant in grade II serum samples Our results suggested that serum expression of FABP7, GATA4, c-MYC and MAOB gene could be implemented as diagnostic marker for meningiomas Further studies are required ; With larger sample sizes The implementation of biomarkers in evaluating: recurrence probability course of the disease
