- Abstract
Background: Micropapillary (MIP) component was a major concern in determining surgical strategy in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). We sought to develop a novel method for detecting MIP component during surgery. Methods: Differentially expressed proteins between MIP-positive and MIP-negative LUAD were identified through proteomics analysis. The semi-dry dot-blot (SDB) method which visualises the targeted protein was developed to detect MIP component. Results: Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2) was significantly upregulated in MIP-positive LUAD (P < 0.001), and the high CRABP2 expression zone showed spatial consistency with MIP component. CRABP2 expression was also associated with decreased recurrence-free survival (P < 0.001). In the prospective cohort, the accuracy and sensitivity of detecting MIP component using SDB method by visualising CRABP2 were 82.2% and 72.7%, which were comparable to these of pathologist. Pathologist with the aid of SDB method would improve greatly in diagnostic accuracy (86.4%) and sensitivity (78.2%). In patients with minor MIP component (≤5%), the sensitivity of SDB method (63.6%) was significantly higher than pathologist (45.4%). Conclusions: Intraoperative examination of CRABP2 using SDB method to detect MIP component reached comparable performance to pathologist, and SDB method had notable superiority than pathologist in detecting minor MIP component.
