Expression of Delta-catenin protein in breast invasive ductal carcinoma and relationship between its expression and prognosis of patients
Background and purpose: As a member of Catenin family
little is known about expressive significance and mechanism of Delta-catenin in numerous tumors. In present study
we investigated the expression of Delta-catenin in breast cancer tissues and its correlation with the prognosis of patients. Methods: We examined the expression of Delta-catenin and its correlation with clinicopathological factors of patients by immunohistochemistry in 92 cases of breast cancer tissues with tissue micro-array. The mRNA and protein expression of Delta-catenin were also detected in another 32 cases of frozen paired breast cancer tissues and normal breast tissues. Results: Compared with normal breast tissues
the mRNA and protein expression of Delta-catenin were increased in breast cancer tissues
and expression of Delta-catenin was closely associated with histological grade and lymph node metastasis (P=0.016 and 0.022
respectively). Moreover
Kaplan-Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high Delta-catenin expression had shorter survival than patients with low expression (P=0.015)
and multivariate Cox analysis revealed that high Delta-catenin expression was also an independent prognostic factor (P=0.017). Conclusion: Our results suggest that Delta-catenin acts as an oncoprotein when overexpressed in breast cancer
and its expression is associated with poor prognosis of patients.
