早期肺癌诊断：基于深度学习的循环外泌体光谱分析

Abstract

摘要

Lung cancer has a high mortality rate, but an early diagnosis can contribute to a favorable prognosis. A liquid biopsy that captures and detects tumor-related biomarkers in body fluids has great potential for early-stage diagnosis.Exosomes, nanosized extracellular vesicles found in blood,have been proposed as promising biomarkers for liquid biopsy. Here, we demonstrate an accurate diagnosis of early-stage lung cancer, using deep learning-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of the exosomes. Our approach was to explore the features of cell exosomes through deep learning and figure out the similarity in human plasma exosomes, without learning insufficient human data. The deep learning model was trained with SERS signals of exosomes derived from normal and lung cancer cell lines and could classify them with an accuracy of 95%. In 43 patients, including stage I and II cancer patients, the deep learning model predicted that plasma exosomes of 90.7% patients had higher similarity to lung cancer cellexosomes than the average of the healthy controls. Such similarity was proportional to the progression of cancer. Notably, the model predicted lung cancer with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.912 for the whole cohort and stage I patients with an AUC of 0.910. These results suggest the great potential of the combination of exosome analysis and deep learning as a method for early-stage liquid biopsy of lung cancer.

肺癌的死亡率很高，但早期诊断可以带来较好的预后。液体活检通过捕获和检测体液中的肿瘤相关生物标志物，对早期诊断具有巨大潜力。外泌体是在血液中发现的纳米级细胞外囊泡，已被提议作为液体活检的有希望的生物标志物。在这里，我们展示了一种使用基于深度学习的表面增强拉曼光谱（SERS）分析外泌体进行早期肺癌准确诊断的方法。我们的方法是通过深度学习探索细胞外泌体的特征，并找出人体血浆外泌体的相似性，而不需要依赖人类数据的充分学习。深度学习模型训练了来自正常和肺癌细胞系的外泌体的SERS信号，并能以95%的准确率进行分类。在包括I期和II期癌症患者在内的43位患者中，深度学习模型预测90.7%的患者的血浆外泌体与肺癌细胞外泌体的相似性高于健康对照组的平均水平。这种相似性与癌症的进展成正比。值得注意的是，该模型预测肺癌的整个队列的曲线下面积（AUC）为0.912，I期患者的AUC为0.910。这些结果表明，外泌体分析与深度学习结合作为肺癌早期液体活检的方法具有巨大潜力。

Conclusions

结论

In conclusion, we demonstrate that the deep learning analysis of the nanoplasmonic sensing technique can be used to identify early-stage lung cancer patients, with high accuracy. Without specific biomarkers, our method was able to detect the signal feature of lung cancer cell-derived exosomes among plasma exosomes. The deep learning model supervised by cellular exosomes successfully identified the lung cancer patients and even detected stage I patients. Our method basically relies on anoninvasive, safe, and sensitive analytic method for detecting lung cancer cell-derived exosomes in blood. These suggest that our method can be used as a routine prescreening tool for lungcancer.

综上所述，我们证明了纳米光学感知技术的深度学习分析可以用于高准确度地识别早期肺癌患者。在没有特定生物标志物的情况下，我们的方法能够在血浆外泌体中检测到肺癌细胞来源的外泌体的信号特征。由细胞外泌体监督的深度学习模型成功地识别了肺癌患者，甚至检测到了 I 期患者。我们的方法基本上依赖于一种非侵入性、安全和敏感的分析方法，用于检测血液中的肺癌细胞来源的外泌体。这些结果表明，我们的方法可以作为肺癌的常规筛查工具使用。

Evaluation of Isolated Exosomes. To characterize SERS signals of exosomes from lung-related cells, we employed human pulmonary alveolar epithelial cells (HPAEpiC) for normal cellexosome and A549, H460, H1299, H1763, and PC9 cells for cancer cell exosomes. To differentiate cancer patients from healthy controls, we collected human plasma samples from 20 healthy controls and 43 lung adenocarcinoma patients, with 22 patients in stage IA, 16 in stage IB, and 5 in stage IIB (Table S1). Since all patients have undergone surgical resection, the pathological stage was confirmed.

孤立外泌体的评估。为了表征与肺相关的细胞产生的外泌体的 SERS 信号，我们利用人肺泡上皮细胞（HPAEpiC）作为正常细胞外泌体的来源，以及 A549、H460、H1299、H1763 和 PC9 细胞作为癌细胞外泌体的来源。为了区分癌症患者和健康对照者，我们收集了20名健康对照者和43名肺腺癌患者的人血浆样本，其中22名患者处于IA期，16名处于IB期，5名处于IIB期（表 S1）。由于所有患者均接受了手术切除，因此病理分期得以确认。
