用于肺癌诊断的皮肤素衍生肽

Dermcidin-derived peptides for lung cancer diagnostics
Abstract:
Methods for diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancers by detection of endogenous peptides in exhaled breath condensate (EBC) are provided. Diagnostic peptides derived from dermcidin (DC) are provided. A specific dermcidin-derived peptide E-R11, having the sequence ENAGEDPGLAR (SEQ ID NO:2), is provided. E-R11 peptide levels in EBC, as measured by mass spectrometry (MS), are highly diagnostic of non-small cell lung cancers. A method for inhibiting growth of lung cancer cells by inhibiting DCD expression by RNA interference also is provided.
