We implemented a protein microarray approach to identify proteins that induce a humoral response in colon cancer. Solubilized proteins from the LoVo colon adenocarcinoma cell line were separated into 1760 fractions, arrayed onto nitrocellulose-coated slides, and hybridized with individual sera from 15 newly diagnosed patients with colon cancer, 15 with lung cancer, and 15 healthy subjects. 39/1760 fractions showed enhanced reactivity with sera from patients with colon cancer (P < 0.01) relative to healthy controls. A distinct pattern of reactivity was observed with sera from colon cancer relative to lung cancer. One fraction that exhibited reactivity with 9/15 colon cancer sera was subjected to mass spectrometry leading to the identification of ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase isozyme 3 (UCH-L3) as a constituent. To validate the occurrence of autoantibodies to UCH-L3, independent analysis was done by means of Western blots. UCH-L3 antibodies were detected in 19/43 sera from patients with colon cancer, and in 0/54 sera from subjects with lung cancer (24), colon adenoma (15) or otherwise healthy (15). Our findings indicate the occurrence of an immune response to a broad set of antigens in colon cancer and the feasibility of identifying the antigenic targets using a combination of protein microarrays; and mass spectrometry.
