Menopausal status-dependent alterations in the transcript levels of genes encoding ERα, ERβ, PR and HER2 in breast tumors with different receptor status.
Background: Breast cancer has distinct causes and prognoses in patients with premenopausal and postmenopausal status. The expression status of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) are analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) to classify molecular subtypes of breast cancer among which large differences in prognosis exist.
Methods: The mRNA expression of ESR1 (encoding ERα), ESR2 (encoding ERβ), PGR (encoding PR), and ERBB2 (encoding HER2) was analyzed based on menopausal status (pre- vs post-menopausal) in tumors from breast cancer patients with different receptor status, in R programming environment, using transcriptomics data from TCGA-BRCA project.
Results: In ER-positive or PR-positive or HER2-negative breast tumors, ESR1 transcript levels were found to be higher in tumors from postmenopausal women than those from premenopausal women; in contrast, ESR2 transcript levels were lower in tumors from postmenopausal women than those from premenopausal women. Furthermore, PGR mRNA expression was lower in breast tumors from postmenopausal women than those from premenopausal women, only in those with ER + or PR + status. The expression of these genes between tumors from pre- and post-menopausal patients with breast cancer was also analyzed based on the combination of status of three receptors.
Conclusion: Together, the results suggest that mRNA expression of ESR1, ESR2, and PGR might differ depending on menopausal status in breast tumors with certain receptor status. More importantly, the change in the expression of ESR1 and ESR2 following menopause is in the opposite directions in breast cancer patients showing the need to identify particular molecular mechanisms regulating the expression of ER isoforms post-menopause in different directions in breast cancer patients, considering the high clinical importance of these receptors in terms of the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Oncology is an international journal devoted to fostering interaction between experimental and clinical oncology. It covers all aspects of research on cancer, from the more basic discoveries dealing with both cell and molecular biology of tumour cells, to the most advanced clinical assays of conventional and new drugs. In addition, the journal has a strong commitment to facilitating the transfer of knowledge from the basic laboratory to the clinical practice, with the publication of educational series devoted to closing the gap between molecular and clinical oncologists. Molecular biology of tumours, identification of new targets for cancer therapy, and new technologies for research and treatment of cancer are the major themes covered by the educational series. Full research articles on a broad spectrum of subjects, including the molecular and cellular bases of disease, aetiology, pathophysiology, pathology, epidemiology, clinical features, and the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer, will be considered for publication.
