摘要
目的探讨乳腺癌干细胞样标志物CD44+CD24-/low在基底样乳腺癌(basal—like breast carcinoma,BLBC)中过表达与BLBC恶性预后的相关性。方法在乳腺癌基因表达分型的基础上,根据雌激素受体(ER)、孕激素受体(PR)、人类表皮生长因子受体2(Her-2)免疫表型的表达选取乳腺癌组织四组:管腔A组、管腔B/C组、Her-2高表达组及三阴性组;对三阴性组检测CK5/6、EGFR,分为正常乳腺样型和BLBC型两组;对上述5组进行免疫组化Envision法染色,选用抗体为CD44、CD24,观察CD44+CD24-/low表型表达并比较BLBC组与其它各组的差异。结果(1)三阴性组共60例,CK5/6和或EGFR阳性者41例(68.3%),确定为BLBC;CK5/6、EGFR阴性者19例(31.7%),确定为正常乳腺样组;(2)CD44+CD24-/low表型在BLBC组中占78.0%(32/41),相对于管腔A组37.9%(11/29)、管腔B组25.9%(7/27)、Her-2高表达组17.2%(5/29)、正常乳腺样组26.3%(5/21),表达增高并具有显著性(P〈0.05);(3)所有150例乳腺癌中(可评价145例)具有CD44+CD24-/low免疫表型者其Ki-67指数增高相对于非CD44+CD24-/low表型具有统计学差异(P〈0.001)。结论BLBC型乳腺癌表达乳腺癌干细胞样标志物CD44+CD24-/low显著高于其它各型乳腺癌,CD44+CD24-/low与BLBC独特的恶性生物学行为相关。
Objective To study the expression of breast cancer stem cell - like markers CD44+CD24-/lownow in basal - like breast carcinoma(BLBC) and their relation with the prognosis of BLBC. Methods We classified breast carcinomas into 4 groups :luminal A ,luminal B/C, Her -2 over -expressing and triple -negative subtype with the expressions of ER, PR and Her - 2, respectively. We classified triple - negative subtype into 2 groups : BLBC and normal breast - like group with the expression of CK5/6 and EGFR, respectively. Immunohisto- chemical( Envision method)was performed to all of the 5 groups, with the selection of antibodies for CD44 and CD24. Results ( 1 ) triple - negative group were 60 cases in all, expressed CK5/6 and EGFR in 41cases ( 68.3 % ), which was identified as BLBC ;low expressed CK5/6 and EGFR in 19 cases ( 31.7 % ), which identi- fied as the normal breast - like group. ( 2 ) 32 cases expressed CD44 + CD24 phenotype in 41 cases of BLBC78.0% ( 32/41 ), compared with luminal A group of 37.9% ( 11/29 ), luminal B of 25.9% ( 7/27 ), Her - 2 over - expression group of 17.2% ( 5/29 ) and normal breast - like group of 26.3% ( 5/21 ) in BLBC ( P 〈 0.05 ). ( 3 ) In all cases of breast cancer which can be evaluated in 145 cases with CD44+CD24-/low immun - phenotype, Ki - 67 index was higher and statistically significant ( P 〈 0.05 ). Conclusion The expression of human breast cancer stem cell markers CD44 + CD24-/Low in BLBC was significantly higher than other types of breast cancer. Then ,we can suppose an association between the prognosis of BLBC and the presence of CIM4 + CD24 -now cell.
