Nerve Fibers in Breast Cancer Tissues Indicate Aggressive Tumor Progression
Emerging evidence has indicated nerve fibers as a marker in the progression of various types of cancers, such as pancreatic cancer and prostate cancer. However, whether nerve fibers are associated with breast cancer progression remains unclear. In this study, we evaluated the presence of nerve fibers in 352 breast cancer specimens and 83 benign breast tissue specimens including 43 cases of cyst...
متن کاملProhibitin 2 mRNA downregulation in breast cancer tumor tissues
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most important cause of cancer mortality among women, therefore the study of its causative or aggravating factors seems necessary. In this study, the mRNA levels of the PHB2 gene were evaluated in tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues of 50 women diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast. Methods: RNX-Plus solution was used to isolate total RNA fro...
متن کاملAggressive Desmoid Tumor Mimicking Breast Cancer
sive disease (1). An accurate diagnosis is difficult because of the similar clinical and imaging findings to a breast malignancy. Desmoid tumors are found mainly in young women and in patients with previous surgical trauma or reconstruction. We report the case of a 72year-old female presenting with an aggressive desmoid tumor that mimicked breast carcinoma but was not associated with previous t...
متن کاملDNMT3B7 Expression Promotes Tumor Progression to a More Aggressive Phenotype in Breast Cancer Cells
Epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, have been shown to promote breast cancer progression. However, the mechanism by which cancer cells acquire and maintain abnormal DNA methylation is not well understood. We have previously identified an aberrant splice form of a DNA methyltransferase, DNMT3B7, expressed in virtually all cancer cell lines but at very low levels in normal cells. Further...
متن کاملThe Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-3 Functional 5A/6A Promoter Polymorphism in Tumor Cell Progression and Metastasis of Breast Cancer
In the human genome, chromosome 11 contains a cluster of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) genes. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of MMP genes are important for MMP expression. A common adenine deletion polymorphism (5A) at position -1171 of the MMP-3 gene promoter (5´-AAAAAACCAT-3´ change to 5´-AAAAACCAT-3´) facilitates transcriptional factor binding and MMP-3 promoter acti...
