Abstract:
Objective To explore the expression of Ang -2 and CD105 in breast cancer and their po-tential associations with the cancerization and progression of breast cancer .Methods Thirty patients with breast cancer ( cancerous tissue ) ,15 intraductal papilloma cases ( precancer tissue ) and 15 normal breast tissue were col-lected for each group ,respectively .Immunohistochemistry ,western blot and RT-PCR techniques were used to ex-amine the expressions of Ang -2 and CD105 in cancerous breast tissue ,precancer breast tissue and normal breast tissue at both protein and mRNA levels .The possible correlations of Ang -2 and CD105 expression with clinico-pathological characteristics of the breast cancer were analyzed .Results The expressions of CD105 and Ang-2 in cancer and precancer tissues were higher than in normal tissues at both protein and mRNA levels ,and the trend of their expressions was increased from normal to precancer ,and cancer tissue .The expressions of CD 105 and Ang-2 protein and mRNA were positively correlated with tumor size ,invasion,lymph node metastasis,and negatively correlated with the differentiation of the cancer .Conclusion CD105 and Ang-2 are involved in the canceriza-tion and pregression of breast cancer .These two biomarkers can serve as two useful indicators in assisting diagno-sis and prognosis of breast cancer .
