Abstract | Wilms tumor is the most common pediatric tumor of the kidney. Previous studies have identified several serum biomarkers for Wilms tumor; however, they lack sufficient specificity and may not adequately distinguish Wilms tumor from confounding conditions. To date, no specific protein biomarker has been confirmed for this pediatric tumor. To identify novel serum biomarkers for Wilms tumor, we used proteomic technologies to perform protein profiling of serum samples from pre-surgery and post-surgery patients with Wilms tumor and healthy controls. Some common systemic inflammatory factors were included to control for systemic inflammation. By comparing protein peaks among the three groups of sera, we identified two peaks (11,526 and 4,756 Da) showing significant differential expression not only between pre-surgery and control sera but also between pre-surgery and post-surgery sera. These two peaks were identified as serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) and apolipoprotein C-III (APO C-III). Western blot analysis confirmed that both proteins were expressed at higher levels in pre-surgery sera than in post-surgery and control sera. Using the method of leave-1-out for cross detection, we demonstrate that detection of these two candidate biomarkers had high sensitivity and specificity in discriminating pre-surgery sera from post-surgery and normal control sera. Taken together, these findings suggest that SAA1 and APO C-III are two potential biomarkers for Wilms tumor. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
