Objective To investigate the expression of nuclear receptor interacting protein 1(NRIP1)and dual specificity phosphatase(DUSP14)in breast cancer tissues and their correlation with the prognosis of breast cancer patients.Methods A total of 124 patients with breast cancer admitted to this hospital from June 2015 to January 2018 were selected as the research objects,and were followed up for 60 months after surgery.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of NRIP1 and DUSP14 in breast cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues.The relationship between NRIP1 and DUSP14 expression and clinicopathological fea-tures of breast cancer was analyzed.Multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the prognostic factors of breast cancer patients.Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to analyze the 5-year survival rate of breast canc-er patients.Results Compared with the adjacent tissues,the breast cancer tissues had a significantly higher positive expression rate of NRIP1 and a significantly lower positive expression rate of DUSP14(P＜0.05).The expression level of NRIP1 in breast cancer tissues was related to histological grade,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis,estrogen receptor and Ki-67(P＜0.05).The expression level of DUSP14 was correlated with histological grade,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis and Ki-67 expression(P＜0.05).The 5-year survival rate of patients with negative NRIP1 expression was significantly higher than that of patients with positive NRIP1 expression(P＜0.05),and the 5-year survival rate of patients with negative DUSP14 expression was significantly lower than that of patients with positive DUSP14 expression(P＜0.05).NRIP1,clinical stage,and lymph node metastasis were risk factors for poor prognosis of breast cancer patients(P＜0.05),and DUSP14 was a protective factor(P＜0.05).Conclusion High expression of NRIP1 and low expression of DUSP14 are associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer.
