Abstract:
Objective To observe and analyze the expression of programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4) gene and apoptosis inhibitor Livin in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) tissues and its relationship with prognosis.Methods One hundred cases of TNBC tumor tissue,50 cases of adjacent carcinoma tissue,50 cases of normal breast tissue were selected as the research data.The immunohistochemical technique was applied to detect and compare the expression positive rates of PDCD4 and Livin protein in three kinds of tissues.The patients were followed up.The overall survival (OS) and the progression free survival (PFS) were observed and compared.Results The expression positive rate of PDCD4 in TNBC tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent carcinoma tissue or normal breast tissue,the differences were statistically significant (x2=26.613,32.000,P＜0.05).The expression was correlated with the clinical pathological features of tumor size,lymph node metastasis,clinical stage,axillary lymph node metastasis and cancer embolus (x2=26.936,13.210,22.774,27.463,5.803,P＜0.05);the expression positive rate of Livin protein in TNBC tissue was significantly higher than that in adjacent carcinoma tissue or normal breast tissue and the expression positive rate of Livin protein in adjacent carcinoma tissue was significantly higher than that in normal breast tissue,the differences were statistically significant (x2 =14.614,57.353,19.048,P＜0.05).The expression was correlated with the clinical pathological features of lymph node metastasis,clinical stage,axillary lymph node metastasis and cancer embolus (x2 =10.788,6.160,27.350,8.914,P＜0.05);OS,PFS in the patients with PDCD4 negative expression were significantly lower than those in the patients with PDCD4positive expression.OS,PFS in the patients with Livin positive expression were significantly lower than those in the patients with Livin negative expression,the above differences were statistically significant (x2 =23.931,19.163,22.649,17.213,P＜0.05).OS in the TNBC patients was correlated with age (RR=1.405),clinical stage (RR =2.897),tumor diameter (RR=2.722),axillary lymph node metastasis (RR=2.516),vascular invasion (RR=3.020),PDCD4 Expression (RR=1.752) and Livin expression (RR=2.051) (P＜0.05).PFS in the patients was correlated with clinical stage (RR =2.756),axillary lymph node metastasis (RR =2.437),PDCD4 expression (RR =1.649) and Livin expression (RR=1.804) (P＜0.05).Conclusion The PDCD4 low expression and Livin protein over-expression exist in TNBC tissues.Their abnormal expressions are correlated with the clinicopathological features of tumor and the prognosis of patient,and could be used as the auxiliary indexes in evaluation of progression and prognosis of TNBC.
