Pancreatic Cyst Fluid

Although intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) is thought to be a precursor lesion of pancreatic cancer, diagnosing malignant transformation of IPMN using non-invasive diagnostic methods is difficult and complicated. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) are currently recognized as biomarkers and molecular targets of various diseases, including malignancy. In this study, we investigated a potential diagnostic approach using miRNA in pancreatic cyst fluid as a marker for evaluating malignant alternation of IPMN. Cystic fluid was sampled mainly during surgical resection. The collected samples were evaluated by performing comprehensive analysis of miRNA using a highly sensitive DNA chip. miRNA expression was compared between IPM adenoma (IPMA) and IPM carcinoma (IPMC) to evaluate the related biomarkers for malignant transformation of IPMN. miRNA analysis revealed that six miRNAs (miR-711, miR-3679-5p, miR-6126, miR-6780b-5p, miR-6798-5p, and miR-6879-5p) in IPMC were significantly enriched compared to those in IPMA. The difference was validated using quantitative real-time PCR. Cyst fluid miRNA analysis might be useful for diagnosing malignant alteration of IPMN. Further evaluations of diagnostic capability as well as functional analysis using the identified miRNAs are required with larger cohorts to confirm its efficacy.

Pancreatic Cyst Fluid

The incidence of patients with pancreatic cystic lesions, particularly intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN), is increasing. Current guidelines, which primarily consider radiological features and laboratory data, have had limited success in predicting malignant IPMN. The lack of a definitive diagnostic method has led to low-risk IPMN patients undergoing unnecessary surgeries. To address this issue, we discovered IPMN marker candidates by analyzing pancreatic cystic fluid by mass spectrometry. A total of 30 cyst fluid samples, comprising IPMN dysplasia and other cystic lesions, were evaluated. Mucus was removed by brief sonication, and the resulting supernatant was subjected to filter-aided sample preparation and high-pH peptide fractionation. Subsequently, the samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS. Using several bioinformatics tools, such as gene ontology and ingenuity pathway analysis, we detailed IPMNs at the molecular level. Among the 5834 proteins identified in our dataset, 364 proteins were differentially expressed between IPMN dysplasia. The 19 final candidates consistently increased or decreased with greater IPMN malignancy. CD55 was validated in an independent cohort by ELISA, Western blot, and IHC, and the results were consistent with the MS data. In summary, we have determined the characteristics of pancreatic cyst fluid proteins and discovered potential biomarkers for IPMN dysplasia.

Route Of Infection

A 61-year-old woman with intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) infection, who was treated with antibiotics, developed IPMN reinfection with febrile epigastric pain and was febrile. CT showed that the diameter of the IPMN had grown and hardened, with thickening of the cyst wall. Endoscopic retrograde pancreatography was then performed and a nasopancreatic cyst drainage tube was placed into the cyst. Symptoms and inflammatory findings improved considerably 17 days after endoscopic drainage. Few reports and evidence have been found regarding IPMN infections, and the frequency of onset, route of infection and optimal drainage method remain unknown. This study indicated that endoscopic transpapillary pancreatic cyst drainage was effective and is highly recommended for IPMN infection.
