IL17B, is produced by induction of memory T lymphocytes and plays an important role in inflammatory responses by binding to the membrane receptor IL17RB. IL17B levels were significantly higher in our DCIS and invasive mammary carcinoma patients and diminished in benign and control groups.

The protein SDC1 was also significantly increased in our BC cases, on par with previous findings which have demonstrated that high serum levels of SDC1 were associated with aggressive phenotype, poor prognosis and decreased response to chemotherapy 50 , 51 , In contrast, our results indicate decreased levels of the adipokines, CFD and LEP in BC tissues as well as plasma when compared to controls but it is similar to a transcriptome profiling study in Arabian women that has reported the downregulation of leptin and other downstream leptin metabolism genes in BC Our data depicts decreased plasma levels of DKK3 in cases which correlate with the previous gene expression data but the median protein levels of WIF1 were higher in BC tissues and plasma, contrary to our microarray results.

Univariate ROC analysis of the markers showed limited sensitivity and specificity, so markers which had AUC above or below 0. The multi-protein panel possessed higher discriminant performance than single markers but did not achieve the desired sensitivity and specificity.

All three genes are known negative modulators of the canonical Wnt signalling cascade. Epigenetic inactivation of WIF1 contributes to constitutive activation of WNT signalling pathway in breast tumorigenesis The differential methylation of WIF1 was also able to predict the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy docetaxel, pirarubicin and cyclophosphamide in sera of locally advanced BC patients Although these 3 genes were known to be frequently methylated in breast tumour tissues, their methylation status in circulating DNA remained unknown.

Our data showed reduced mRNA levels and methylation of the 3 genes in breast cancer cell lines and tumour tissues consistent with previous studies which have reported that promoter methylation mediated silencing of WIF1 and DACT2 was observed in BSP analysis was then carried out to confirm the methylation status in a methylation-independent manner.

Consequently, the putative promoter methylation of the 3 markers was analysed in cfDNA isolated from plasma of patients diagnosed with either non-invasive or invasive BC, benign breast diseases and healthy individuals. The clinicopathological correlation revealed that rise in methylation intensity of the said genes were significantly associated with advanced tumour stage, high grade, nodal status, and metastases. These results signify the putative tumour suppressive role of the markers and possible role in progression and severity of BC.

The receptor status of breast tumours did not show any influence on the methylation levels except for DACT2 which displayed significant variation among tumours which were HER2 positive and negative. Hence, the predicted diagnostic model was robust and reliable since it could discriminate BC non-invasive and invasive from plasma obtained from patients with benign breast disease and healthy controls with a better sensitivity than the previously proposed models.

Despite, the promising results of various biomarker panels reported previously, the current study has some strengths.

Although multiple markers show better diagnostic potential than single markers, it is imperative to establish an assay comprising of minimal number of markers with high diagnostic ability. In addition, the assay platform should also be cost-effective and easily adaptable in a clinical setting.

We have used MSP, a PCR based semi-quantitative platform which is simple and cost-effective compared to sequencing and mass spectrometric approaches. Pre-analytical parameters such as use of plasma instead of serum [plasma is preferred for cfDNA assays since serum cfDNA has increased genomic DNA levels 63 , 64 and a three-step centrifugation step to avoid lymphocyte contamination was incorporated.

Unlike many of the existing studies the specificity of our panel was also tested in benign breast abnormalities and DCIS and validated in an independent sample set. The differential methylation of the said epigenetic markers, between the benign, DCIS and invasive groups suggest that these markers shall be able to differentiate benign lesions from malignant.

The shortcoming of our study is the limited number of DCIS and early-stage BC samples which can contribute to the lack of statistical significance in the differential methylation intensity between controls, benign and early-stage tumours DCIS and stage I.

Hence, validation of these markers in a larger number of DCIS and early-stage breast tumour patients is necessary before it is considered as a complementary tool for BC diagnosis.

The study population primarily consisted of Indian women. The patient samples were collected after informed consent and all methods were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations set by the committee. The frequency of women opting for reduction mammoplasty or for prophylactic mastectomy is very rare in India, hence it is difficult to procure normal breast tissue samples.

Our work hence used samples well away from the benign lesions and confirmed to be morphologically normal, from women with benign breast disease. Further, an age-matched case—control study age distribution with 5-year intervals was performed with BC patients and healthy controls. The inclusion and exclusion criteria are provided in Supplementary Table S6. Additionally, 16 patients with ductal carcinoma in-situ DCIS and 37 patients with benign breast disease were included in the study.

The samples were randomly split into training set and test set for validation Supplementary Fig. The tissue lysates were prepared according to Rajkumar et al. Post clinical examination, 10 ml blood sample was collected in ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid EDTA coated tubes from each individual.

The microarray experiments were done as described previously The cDNA was amplified, labelled, hybridized and slides scanned as described earlier.

In addition, a two-fold difference in gene expression was required between the different classes [T vs. PN vs. The protocol for validation was adapted from literature The raw data from the Prism HT sequence detection system was imported into Microsoft Excel for statistical analysis of the data.

The AN tissue samples were used as calibrators and the relative quantitation values were calculated for all the genes and the samples. Geometric mean was calculated for each of the 67 genes excluding the 3 endogenous controls. The relative quantitation values for all the samples and genes were imported into BRB Array Tools and Class Comparison analysis was done comparing the different clinicopathological parameters with the gene expression values.

Fifteen genes which were secreted or potentially secreted were short-listed, based on our data as well as corroborated with GEO Microarray Dataset primary breast tumors and 10 normal breast samples [from reduction mammoplasties] [GSE]. An additional requirement was that the protein could be assayed in the multiplexed sandwich-ELISA platform. A user defined reference array was used, to which the signals of other arrays were normalized. The amount of input DNA was adjusted to be uniform for each sample.

MethPrimer 2. The clones were screened using PCR and restriction enzyme digestion. Densitometric analysis was used to quantify Image Lab 6. Ratio of methylated and unmethylated band intensity was calculated for each sample in cases and controls. At these scanner settings the signals from the highest standard concentration did not reach saturation. Image Lab version 4. The image exposure and image area were set as default. For relative quantification of band intensity, Promega kb DNA ladder was used as reference standard.

Kruskal Wallis Test was employed to test significance of differential protein levels and methylation intensity. Unpaired t-test and One-way analysis of variance was used to assess association of relative methylation levels of BC patients with clinicopathological parameters. Patient samples were collected after informed consent and the study was performed in compliance to the National Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical Health Research involving Human Participants and conditions of Indian Council of Medical Research.
