Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical significance of peripheral blood metastasis in breast cancer and its relationship with the metastasis suppressor gene BRMS1.Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of micrometastatic marker hMAM-RNA in the peripheral blood of 149 cases of invasive breast carcinoma.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of BRMS1 protein in breast cancer tissues after surgery.The recurrence was followed up.SPSS19.0 statistics software was used to analyze the data.Results Among the 149 cases of invasive breast carcinoma patients with preoperative peripheral blood,expression of hMAM-RNA was found in 71 cases,and the micrometastasis rate was 47.65％.Peripheral blood micrometastasis rate in breast cancer was closely related to tumor TMN stage,lymph node metastasis and postoperative recurrence (P＜0.05);while it had nothing to do with patients' age,tumor size,pathological types or tumor tissue typing (P＞0.05).The expression of BRMS1 in postoperative breast cancer tissue was detected in 56 cases,and the positive rate was 37.58％.For BRMS1 positive cases,16 cases had peripheral blood micrometastasis (the positive rate was 28.57％);For BRMS1 negative cases,55 cases had peripheral blood micrometastasis (the positive rate was 51.93％).The difference had statistical significance and the two showed a significant negative correlation(r=-0.296,P＜0.01).With the gradual increase of positive staining intensity of BRMS1 protein,the micrometastasis rate of peripheral blood of breast cancer showed a significant decrease (P＜0.05).At the same time,among patients with positive peripheral blood micrometastasis,the recurrence rate of patients with positive BRMS1 (12.5％) was significantly lower than that of patients with negative BRMS1 (43.64％),and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusions BRMS 1 expression and breast cancer micrometastasis in peripheral blood is closely related.BRMS1 can also be used as an important molecular marker for determining micrometastasis in peripheral blood of breast cancer.Routine detection of BRMS1 expression in breast cancer tissue is helpful for clinical understanding of breast cancer patients,peripheral blood micrometastasis and postoperative recurrence,thus guiding clinical individualized treatment and prognosis.
