Abstract NEKs are proteins that are involved in various cell processes and play important roles in the formation and development of cancer. However, few studies have examined the role of NEKs in the development of non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). To address this problem, the Oncomine, UALCAN, and the Human Protein Atlas databases were used to analyze differential NEK expression and its clinicopathological parameters, while the Kaplan-Meier, cBioPortal, GEPIA, and DAVID databases were used to analyze survival, gene mutations, similar genes, and biological enrichments. The rate of NEK family gene mutation was high (>50%) in patients with NSCLC, in which NEK2/4/6/8/ was overexpressed and significantly correlated with tumor stage and nodal metastasis status. In addition, the high expression of NEK2/3mRNA was significantly associated with poor prognosis in patients with NSCLC, while high expression of NEK1/4/6/7/8/9/10/11mRNA was associated with good prognosis. In summary, these results suggest that NEK2/4/6/8 may be a potential prognostic biomarker for the survival of patients with NSCLC.

Abstract Previously, using recombinant human progastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP)(31-98), we developed a RIA for ProGRP(31-98) and demonstrated that the determination of serum ProGRP(31-98) was a reliable marker for small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) (Miyake et al., Cancer Res 1994;54:2136-40). Aiming for a more convenient assay system, we have now developed and evaluated a highly sensitive and specific ELISA for ProGRP(31-98). Only 50 microL of nonextracted serum is needed, and results are obtained in only 2 h. Intraassay and between-day CVs were 1.7-4.6% and 4.2-6.8%, respectively. The log-log calibration curve was linear to 1000 ng/L, and analytical recovery was 91.5-108.7%. The detection limit of this assay, 1.9 ng/L, means that basal concentrations of ProGRP(31-98) were detectable in all healthy subjects. The cutoff value, based on the mean + 3 SD of concentrations in 247 healthy subjects, was set to 45.1 ng/L. Serum concentrations exceeded this value in 18 of 25 SCLC patients, similar to the frequency of increased values found by RIA previously. In contrast, the frequency of increased serum ProGRP(31-98) in patients with nonmalignant pulmonary diseases or non-SCLC was quite low: 0% and 5.0%, respectively. Such results may justify a clinical trial for evaluating this ELISA for the diagnosis and monitoring of SCLC patients.
