Abstract
Laminin, fibronectin, and collagen IV are pivotal extracellular matrix (ECM) components. The ECM environment governs the fundamental properties of tumors, including proliferation, vascularization, and invasion. Given the critical role of cell-matrix adhesion in malignant tumor progression, we hypothesize that the concentrations of these proteins may be altered in the plasma of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). This study aimed to evaluate the serum, urine, and tissue levels of laminin-5, collagen IV, and fibronectin among a control group and ccRCC patients, with the latter divided into stages T1–T2 and T3–T4 according to the TNM classification. We included 60 patients with histopathologically confirmed ccRCC and 26 patients diagnosed with chronic cystitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Collagen IV, laminin-5, and fibronectin were detected using Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging biosensors. Significant differences were observed between the control group and ccRCC patients, as well as between the T1–T2 and T3–T4 subgroups. Levels were generally higher in plasma and tissue for fibronectin and collagen IV in ccRCC patients and lower for laminin. The ROC (Receiver operating characteristic) analysis yielded satisfactory results for differentiating between ccRCC patients and controls (AUC 0.84–0.93), with statistical significance for both fibronectin and laminin in plasma and urine. Analysis between the T1–T2 and T3–T4 groups revealed interesting findings for all examined substances in plasma (AUC 0.8–0.95). The results suggest a positive correlation between fibronectin and collagen levels and ccRCC staging, while laminin shows a negative correlation, implying a potential protective role. The relationship between plasma and urine concentrations of these biomarkers may be instrumental for tumor detection and staging, thereby streamlining therapeutic decision-making.
