Clinical Significance of Soluble LAG-3 (sLAG-3) in Patients With Cervical Cancer Determined via Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay With Monoclonal Antibodies

Background: The tumor microenvironment and tumor immunity have become the focus of research on tumor diagnosis and treatment. Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3, CD223) is a newly discovered immunosuppressive receptor that is abnormally expressed in various tumor microenvironments and plays an important role as an immune checkpoint in the tumor immune response. Objective: We developed a novel enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit, examined the levels of soluble LAG-3 (sLAG-3) in the serum of patients with cervical cancer, and identified new biomarkers for cervical cancer development. Methods: To investigate the potential biological function of sLAG-3, we generated and characterized 2 novel anti-LAG-3 monoclonal antibodies, namely 4F4 and 4E12. We performed western blotting, immunofluorescence, and immunohistochemistry using hybridoma technology and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit for detecting human sLAG-3 based on an improved double-antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. The stability and sensitivity of these kits were also assessed. Results: We screened and characterized 2 novel monoclonal antibodies against human LAG-3. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit also includes a wide range of tests. Using this enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system, we found that the expression level of sLAG-3 in the peripheral blood of patients with cervical cancer significantly decreased as the disease progressed (P < .0001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that low sLAG-3 expression was an independent predictor of cervical cancer and related diseases (P < .05). Furthermore, receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that sLAG-3 had diagnostic value for cervical cancer metastasis (P < .0001). Conclusion: These data suggest that sLAG-3 is a potential biomarker for cervical cancer development. Therefore, this kit has a certain application value in the diagnosis of cervical cancer.
