Moscow Research Institute of Medical Ecology Elaboration of new method for the early non-invasive prostate cancer diagnostic
Disadvantages of the PSA diagnostics • “Grey zone” – 4-10 ng/ml • Biopsy verification
Hepsin structure Normal prostate Benign prostate hyperplasia Prostate cancer Prostate cancer gr. II gr. IV-V purple – protease domain, blue - SRCR domain, green – active senter Immunohistochemical detectionof hepsin in tissue sections Antibodies Neutralizing Hepsin Protease Activity Do Not Impact Cell Growth but Inhibit Invasion of Prostate and Ovarian Tumor Cells in Culture J. Xuan et al . Cancer Research 2006; 66(7): 3611-3619
Principle of the method • Kinetic enzymatic assay • Urea cells after prostate massage • Chromogen staining
Kit composition PBS – 50tab. Lysis buffer – 25ml. Protease inhibitors cocktail – 1 bot. Incubation buffer solution – 10ml. Substrate – 100 mg. Hepsinrecombinant– 1,5nmol/l*min +/- 10%. • Bacterial strain producing human recombinant hepsin was deposited in Russian National Collection of Industrial Microorganisms (VKPM), accession number B-10098 • Patents: • Bacterial strain producing human recombinant hepsin soluble form (HPNTM-A) • Prostate cancer diagnostic kit and prostate cancer diagnostic technique.

Specificity of the method Tumor cell lines
Linearity and sensitivity of the method Minimaldetecting activity – 0,05 nmol/l*min
Hepsin purification 2nd step – ion-exchange chromatography 1st step - affinity chromatography М 1 2 3 4 1 – E.coli lysate 2 – 1st step chromatography, peak #2 3 – 2nd step chromatography, peak #3 4 - 2nd step chromatography, peak #3 after incubation with thrombin
Substrate specificity of PSA and Hepsin PSA hydrolyzes substrate in high efficacy (2200-3100 М-1s-1) in: Ser SerTyr Ser Gly Gln His Asp Leu Ser Asn Hepsin hydrolyzes substrate in: Lys Asn Lys ArgSer
Substrate selection KPR AAR (H-D-Lys-(γ-Cbo)-Pro-Arg-pNA.2AcOH (Cbo- Ala-Ala-Arg-pNA.2AcOH)
Inhibition of hepsin activity – the possible direction of anti-cancer therapy Anthralin (dithranol) Recombinant hepsin activity according to anthralin consentration
Conclusions • Hepsin is a marker of high specificity for the prostate cancer • Sensitivity of the method – 0,05 nmol/l*min and linearity of the method is between 0,05 nmol/l*min and 4,5 nmol/l*min • Hepsin activity in prostate cancer patients and other patients with benign prostate disorders has statistically significant difference • Hepsin activity has very poor correlation with the age of patients
