Abstrakt: Vestibular schwannoma (VS) is intracranial tumor arising from neoplastic Schwann cells, causing hearing loss in about 95% of patients. The traditional belief that hearing deficit is caused by physical expansion of the VS, compressing the auditory nerve, does not explain the common clinical finding that patients with small tumors can have profound hearing loss, suggesting that tumor-secreted factors could influence hearing ability in VS patients. Here, we conducted profiling of patients' plasma for 67 immune-related factors on a large cohort of VS patients (N>120) and identified candidate biomarkers associated with tumor growth (IL-16 and S100B) and hearing (MDC). We identified the 7-biomarker panel composed of MCP-3, BLC, S100B, FGF-2, MMP-14, eotaxin, and TWEAK that showed outstanding discriminatory ability for VS. These findings revealed possible therapeutic targets for VS-induced hearing loss and provided a unique diagnostic tool that may predict hearing change and tumor growth in VS patients and may help inform the ideal timing of tumor resection to preserve hearing.
