Urine proteomics defines an immune checkpoint-associated nephritis signature by Cassian Yee, Jamie S Lin, James P Long, Shailbala Singh, Yanlan Dong

“…We identified several novel urine biomarkers, including IL-5, Fas, TNFSF4, CD274, IL-20, TNFSF15, TSLP, TREM1 and CCL1 while confirming previously reported markers such as CXCL9 and TNF-α. Using statistical and machine learning methods, we constructed a novel urine biomarker signature—IL-5+Fas—that achieved an area under the curve of 0.94 for diagnosing ICI-AIN.By leveraging high-sensitivity proteomics, we developed a non-invasive strategy for diagnosing ICI-AIN. …”
