Abstract Secreted proteins constitute a relevant source of putative cancer biomarkers. Here, we compared the secretome of a series of four genetically-related breast cancer cell lines as a model of aggressiveness using quantitative mass spectrometry. 537 proteins (59.5% of the total identified proteins) predicted to be released or shed from cells were identified. Using a scoring system based on i) iTRAQ value, ii) breast cancer tissue mRNA expression levels, and iii) immunohistochemical staining (public database), a short list of 10 candidate proteins was selected. Using specific ELISA assays, the expression level of the top five proteins was measured in a verification set of 56 patients. The four significantly differentially expressed proteins were then validated in a second independent set of 353 patients. Finally, follistatin (FST) and kallikrein 6 (KLK6) in serum were significantly higher (p-value < 0.0001) in invasive breast cancer patients compared with non-cancerous controls. Using specific cut-off values, FST distinguished breast cancer samples from healthy controls with a sensitivity of 65% and an accuracy of 68%, whereas KLK6 achieved a sensitivity of 55% and an accuracy of 61%. Therefore, we concluded that FST and KLK6 may have significance in breast cancer detection. BIOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Discovery of new serum biomarkers that exhibit increased sensitivity and specificity compared to current biomarkers appears to be an essential field of research in cancer. Most biological markers show insufficient diagnostic sensitivity for early breast cancer detection and, for the majority of them, their concentrations are elevated only in metastatic forms of the disease. It is therefore essential to identify clinically reliable biomarkers and develop effective approaches for cancer diagnosis. One promising approach in this field is the study of secreted proteins through proteomic analysis of in vitro progression breast cancer models. Here we have shown that FST and KLK6 are elevated in breast cancer patient serum compared to healthy controls. We expect that our discovery strategy will help to identify cancer-specific and body-fluid-accessible biomarkers.
