  Purpose

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer and from healthy volunteers.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Levels of cathepsin D [ Time Frame: At Routine Follow-Up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measure plasma CD levels in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and non-smoker healthy controls using mass spectrometry.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Levels of fatty acid synthase (FAS) [ Time Frame: At Routine Follow-Up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measure FAS levels in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and non-smoker healthy controls using mass spectrometry.

  • Global microRNA expression [ Time Frame: At Routine Follow-Up ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Measure global microRNA expression by microarray analysis using Illumina probes.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA

Blood sample collection, one 10 ml purple top EDTA tube, will be collected from each patient and control via venipuncture or from a central line.


Enrollment: 84
Study Start Date: December 2008
Study Completion Date: October 2010
Primary Completion Date: August 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Groups/Cohorts Assigned Interventions
Healthy Volunteers
Non-smoking healthy volunteers
 Other: Mass Spectrometry
Levels of Cathepsin D (CD) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) will be measured using isobaric tag labeling coupled with mass spectrometry. RNA concentration will be measured using spectrophometer and purity will be analyzed.
Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
 Other: Mass Spectrometry
Levels of Cathepsin D (CD) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) will be measured using isobaric tag labeling coupled with mass spectrometry. RNA concentration will be measured using spectrophometer and purity will be analyzed.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Measure plasma cathepsin D levels in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and in healthy volunteers using mass spectometry.
  • Measure fatty acid synthase levels in these patients and healthy volunteers using mass spectometry.

OUTLINE: Blood samples are collected from patients and healthy volunteers to measure the levels of cathepsin D and fatty acid synthase by proteomic profiling and mass spectrometry.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   Yes
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population

Subjects who have non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be recruited from the Masonic Cancer Center at the University of Minnesota. Controls will be non-smoking individuals, age matched to the NSCLC subjects recruited through advertising. Normal controls should not be regularly exposed to second hand smoke.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients

  • Documented diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, any stage and any time point in the course of treatment (i.e., at diagnosis, during any treatment, and during post treatment surveillance)
  • Measurable disease by CT scan within the past 4 weeks

Healthy volunteer

  • Non-smoking, defined as < 5 packs/year history of smoking and cessation of smoking ≥ 6 months ago OR a never smoker

    • Not regularly exposed (i.e., daily) to second-hand smoke

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Severe underlying lung disease (i.e., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with FEV_1 < 1.0 L, pulmonary fibrosis, bronchiectasis, cystic fibrosis, etc.) as determined by enrolling researcher.

Written consent must be given for both subjects and controls.
