Background of Anti-c-myc Antibodies

Myc is a family of regulator genes, and proto-oncogenes are involved in coding transcription factors. The myc family composed of three related human genes: c-myc, l-myc, and n-myc. c-myc was the first discovered gene in this family that homologous to the viral gene v-myc. c-myc is often constitutively expressed in cancers, which causes the increased expression of many genes, some of which play a role in cell proliferation and contribute to the formation of cancer. c-myc is a type of tumor-associated antigen (TAA). Abnormal expression of c-myc in tumors can be perceived as foreign antigens and autoantibodies, which are subsequently produced. Previous studies showed that anti-c-myc autoantibodies could serve as diagnostic biomarkers in solid tumors, including lung cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

The Role of Anti-c-myc Antibodies in Lung Cancer

Lung cancer, also referred to as lung carcinoma, is a malignant lung tumor characterized by uncontrolled cell growth of lung tissue cells. This growth can spread from the lung to nearby tissue or other parts of the body by the process of metastasis. Small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) and non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) are the two primary types of lung cancer. The most general symptoms are coughing, weight loss, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Evidence showed that c-myc protein was overexpressed in lung cancer tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. Besides, significantly higher levels of serum autoantibodies against c-myc were found in lung cancer compared to normal healthy control (NHC) both in research and validation groups. Further analysis results showed that anti-c-myc autoantibodies can discriminate stage I lung cancer patients from NHC. Furthermore, results found that higher level of serum anti-c-Myc autoantibodies was significantly associated with shortened disease-free survival (DFS). These findings suggested that serum c-myc autoantibodies may have the potential to serve as non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers in patients with lung cancer.
