Abstract:
Objective To find out the correlation between MMP-13 and clinicopathological parameters of breast cancer and identify clinical significance of MMP-13 overexpression on overall survival of breast cancer.Methods Immunohistochemistry was performed on paraffin-embedded tissue microarray containing 159 tissue dots from breast cancer patients.The intensity and the extent of IHC were scored by pathologists blind to clinicopathological parameters of the specimens.Different expression profiles of MMP-13 in breat cancer tissues and paraneoplastic tissues,and correlation between MMP-13 and breast cancer clinicopathological parameters were analyzed for statistical significance respectively.The impact of MMP-13 overexpression on overall survival of breast cancer.Results MMP13 expression were significantly higher in breast cancer tissues(54.4％) than in their corresponding paraneoplastic tissues(27.5％)(P =0.003).Expression of MMP-13 in breast cancer positively correlated with lymphma node metastasis(r =0.257,P =0.006),clinical TNM classification (r =0.310,P =0.001),HER2 expression (r =0.192,P =0.041).However,no significant correlation were oberserved between MMP-13 expression and tumor size,MMP-13 expression and tumor grade,MMP-13 expression and ER expression,MMP-13 expression and PR expression respectively.Conclusions Overexpress of MMP-13 is more common in breast cancer tissues than in their corresponding paraneoplastic tissues,and is an independent prognosis indicator of breast cancer.
