Abstract:
:Most patients with paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis/sensory neuronopathy PEM/SN have small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) and develop antibodies against neuronal-specific Hu proteins, which are abnormally expressed in the tumor. Anti-Hu reactivity is present in ~16% of SCLC patients without PEM/SN. Here we test the hypothesis that engineered SCLC-prone mice may exhibit anti-Hu reactivity. We show that tumors from SCLC-prone mice misexpress Hu proteins, and 14% of mice harbor anti-Hu antibodies. Mice appear to show reactivity prior to clinical diagnosis of SCLC. This mouse model system will be useful to study SCLC-associated autoimmunity, its diagnostic value, and the potential protective role of oncoantigen-directed autoantibodies.
