Abstract:
Objective To determine the relationship between CCDC8 gene and breast cancer.Methods 40 cancerous breast tissue and 22 benign breast tissue were included.qRT-PCR was performed to investigate the expression level of CCDC8 in breast tissue.The correlation between CCDC8 level and the age of patients,tumor size,clinical staging,and the expression levels of estrogen and progesterone receptors,CerbB2,Ki-67,p53 and nm23 were analyzed.Results The expression level of CCDC8 in benign breast tissue (1685±755) was significantly higher than that in cancerous tissues (502.1 ±223.2).Tissues obtained from patients over age 50 showed an increased level of CCDC8 (789.8±367) in comparison to those from patients age 50 or younger (452.5±170.3).The level of CCDC8 expression was negatively correlated with nm23 level (Correlation Coefficient =-0.400,P =0.039),while no correlation was found between CCDC8 and cancer stages,estrogen and progesterone receptor,CerbB2,Ki-67and p53.Conclusion The negative correlations between CCDC8 and age,tumor size and nm23 indicate that CCDC8 is a potential tumor suppressor,influencing the occurrence and progression in breast cancer.
