Mesothelin, also known as MSLN, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MSLN gene.[1][2]

Function

Mesothelin is a 40 kDa protein that is expressed in mesothelial cells.[3] The protein was first identified by its reactivity with monoclonal antibody K1.[4] Subsequent cloning studies showed that the mesothelin gene encodes a precursor protein that is processed to yield mesothelin which is attached to the cell membrane by a glycophosphatidylinositol linkage and a 31-kDa shed fragment named megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF). Although it has been proposed that mesothelin may be involved in cell adhesion, its biological function is not known.[5] A knockout mouse line that lacks mesothelin reproduces and develops normally.[6]

Mesothelin is over expressed in several human tumors, including mesothelioma, ovarian cancer, pancreatic adenocarcinoma[3] and cholangiocarcinoma.[7][8] The interaction between mesothelin and MUC16 (also known as CA125) may facilitate the implantation and peritoneal spread of tumors by cell adhesion. Dr. Mitchell Ho and colleagues at the National Cancer Institute identified the region (residues 296-359) consisting of 64 amino acids at the N-terminus of cell surface mesothelin as the functional binding domain for MUC16.[9]

Medical applications

Mesothelin is a tumour differentiation antigen that is normally present on the mesothelial cells lining the pleura, peritoneum and pericardium.[10] Since mesothelin is overexpressed in several cancers and is immunogenic, the protein could be exploited as tumor marker or as the antigenic target of a therapeutic cancer vaccine.[5][10] A 2016 review indicates that some immunotherapeutic strategies have shown encouraging results in early-phase clinical trials. [11] Elevations of serum mesothelin specific to ovarian and other cancer patients may be measured using ELISA assays.[12] Soluble mesothelin is the extracellular domain of membrane-bound mesothelin shed from tumor cells as demonstrated by mass spectrometry analysis of soluble mesothelin purified from cell culture supernatant.[13] Assays for blood-borne mesothelin and MPF for tumor diagnosis, especially applied to asbestos-related mesothelioma have been developed.[14] Elevated serum mesothelin was found in most patients with mesothelioma (71%) and ovarian cancer (67%).[15] Blood MPF and mesothelin levels were correlated, with modest accuracy for malignant pleural mesothelioma and lung cancer (sensitivity 74% and 59%, specificity 90% and 86%, respectively for MPF and mesothelin assays).[16] Circulating mesothelin is reported in nearly all pancreatic cancers,[17] however the levels in healthy persons often exceed 80 ng/mL (using 40 kD molecular weight as the conversion factor) and to widely overlap the values in the pancreatic cancer patients.[18] It was noted that the cutoff levels for normal could differ as much as 10-fold among publications, depending on the assay used[18][16][15] and thus that normal levels must be determined anew when new assays are introduced. Therapeutic antibodies to mesothelin have been developed by phage display[19] [20]and humanization of rabbit monoclonal antibodies[21][22].
