Expression of prospero-related homeobox 1 in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with prognosis
Background and purpose: Prospero-related homeobox 1 (PROX1)
a member of the homeodomain transcription factor family
is involved in the development and progression of a variety of malignant tumors
and is closely related to tumo
r cell proliferation
differentiation
apoptosis
migration and invasion. This study explored the expression of PROX1 in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with prognosis. Methods: A total of 85 patients with breast cancer underwent elective surgery
and complete data were collected from Mar. 2011 to Mar. 2013. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein level of PROX1 in breast cancer and adjacent tissues. All patients were followed up
and 4 patients were lost during follow-up. Follow-up deadline was Mar. 31
2018. Kaplan-Meier method and Log-rank test were used for survival analysis. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the prognostic factors of breast cancer. Results: The positive rate of PROX1 protein was 71.76% in breast cancer tissues and 28.57% in adjacent tissues (χ

P0.001). The expression of PROX1 protein in breast cancer tissues was significantly different in the degree of differentiation
TNM stage
estrogen receptor (ER)
Ki-67 labeling index and lymph node metastasis compared with adjacent tissues (P0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the mean survival time of the PROX1 positive expression group was (36.73±2.73) months
and that of the PROX1 negative expression group was (56.36±2.13) months. The Log-rank test howed the difference in mean survival time was statistically significant between the two groups (χ

=11.803
P=0.001). The Cox proportional hazards regression model showed that the degree of differentiation
TNM stage
lymph node metastasis and PROX1 protein expression were risk factors for the prognosis of breast cancer patients (P0.05). Conclusion: PROX1 is highly expressed in breast cancer tissues
and is closely related to the occurrence and progression of breast cancer and prognosis of patients. It is a risk factor affecting the prognosis of patients.
