Objective: This study aimed to analyze the function of metastasis suppressor 1 ( MTSS1) in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Methods: MTSS1 expression in 30 TNBC and paracancerous tissues was measured by quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The prognostic value of MTSS1 was assessed by Kaplan–Meier analysis followed by the log-rank test. MCF7 cells were transfected with si- MTSS1, while MDA-MB-231 cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1- MTSS1. Cell proliferation assay and transwell assay were performed to investigate the effects of MTSS1 on the biological behavior of breast cancer cells. Immunofluorescence and western blot were used to detect the influence of MTSS1 on epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. Results: MTSS1 expression was significantly lower in TNBC tissues compared with that in paracancerous tissues (0.012 vs. 0.370; P = 0.006). A lower MTSS1 expression level was also found in tumor tissues of patients with lymph node metastasis ( P = 0.002) or tumor node metastasis stage ( P = 0.010). Patients with low expression of MTSS1 (⩽ 0.009) had shorter disease-free survival (47.4 vs. 56.0 months; P = 0.012). The knockdown of MTSS1 in MCF7 cells inhibited cell proliferation, enhanced cell migration and invasion capacities, decreased the E-cadherin level, and increased the vimentin level, whereas overexpression of MTSS1 in MDA-MB-231 cells had the opposite effects ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that MTSS1 regulates proliferation, invasion, migration, and EMT in TNBC, and that decreased MTSS1 is associated with shorter disease-free survival.

Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive disease. Nomograms can predict prognosis of patients with TNBC. Methods: A total of 745 eligible TNBC patients were recruited and randomly divided into training and validation groups. Endpoints were disease-free survival and overall survival. Concordance index, area under the curve and calibration curves were used to analyze the predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of nomograms. Results: Based on the training cohort, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, positive lymph nodes, tumor size and tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes were used to construct a nomogram for disease-free survival. In addition, age was added to the overall survival nomogram. Conclusion: The current study developed and validated well-calibrated nomograms for predicting disease-free survival and overall survival in patients with TNBC.

The dietary inflammatory index (DII) has been associated with breast cancer incidence and survival. However, the association between DII and cancer recurrence and mortality among patients with breast cancer has not been investigated. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate whether DII was positively associated with risk for cancer recurrence and overall mortality among patients with breast cancer. Among 511 women (51.9 ± 10.7 years; stage 0–3) who underwent breast cancer surgery, 88 had cancer recurrence, and 44 died during follow–up until 213 months (average disease free survival of 84.3 ± 42.4 months and overall survival of 69.3 ± 38.9 months). The DII assessed after surgery (5.4 ± 5.2 months after diagnosis) was significantly higher in patients with recurrence than those without recurrence, and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that it was positively associated with the risk for cancer recurrence (hazard ratio (HR) 2.347, confidence interval (CI) 1.17–4.71) and overall mortality (HR 3.049, CI 1.08–8.83) after adjusting for confounding factors. Disease-free survival and overall survival rates were significantly lower in patients with higher DII scores. In addition, the DII was positively associated with the risk for cancer recurrence according to prognostic factors, such as age (<50 years), premenopausal status, body mass index (≥25 kg/m2), HR+, tumor size (>2 cm), and presence of lymph node metastasis. The present study showed that anti-inflammatory diets may decrease the risk of cancer recurrence and overall mortality in patients with breast cancer, particularly those with prognostic factors, such as younger age, premenopausal status, obesity, HR+ breast cancer, tumor size >2 cm, and presence of lymph node metastasis.

3546 Background: The insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) is involved in progression and sensitivity to systemic treatment of breast cancer. Moreover, targeted inhibition of IGF-1R is likely to be beneficial in systemic treatment. However, it is unknown how to select patients for IGF-1R targeted therapy. Therefore, we studied the relation between IGF-1R expression and prognosis in invasive ductal breast carcinomas. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed on tumor tissue of a consecutive cohort of 429 female patients treated for operable primary invasive ductal breast carcinoma. TMA sections were stained with antibodies against IGF1-R, insulin receptor (IR), ER, PR, HER-2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt). Cytoplasmic and membranous IGF-1R staining were scored separately, as the relevance of IGF-1R cellular localization is yet unknown. Associations between IGF-1R expression with clinical and tumor characteristics were evaluated in a multivariate Cox regression model. To study in more detail the prognostic role of IGF-1R expression in triple negative invasive ductal carcinomas (TN IDCs), 51 TN IDCs from the series described above were combined with 64 TN IDCs from an independent dataset with similar patient and clinico-pathological characteristics. Results: Patients with tumors expressing both ER and cytoplasmic IGF-1R have a longer disease free survival (HR = 0.20; 95% CI 0.07 - 0.63; p-value = 0.006) and breast cancer specific survival (HR = 0.20, 95% CI 0.07 - 0.63, p-value = 0.002), independent of other known prognostic factors. Conversely, in the combined series of 105 TN IDCs, cytoplasmic IGF-1R expression was associated with a shorter disease free survival (HR = 2.29; 95% CI 1.08 - 4.48, p-value = 0.03). In a multivariate model including known prognostic factors, cytoplasmic IGF-1R expression was nearly significantly related to a shorter disease free survival (HR 2.06; 95% CI 0.95 - 4.47; p = 0.07). Conclusions: The favorable versus unfavorable association with prognosis of IGF-1R expression in ER positive versus TN IDCs may provide new opportunities to select patients for IGF-1R targeted therapy.

e22219 Background: Triple-negative (ER-negative, PR-negative, HER2/neu negative) breast cancer has distinct clinical and pathologic features, and is a clinical problem because of its typically high grade, relatively poor prognosis, aggressive behavior and lack of targeted therapies leaving chemotherapy as the mainstay of treatment. This study envisaged to analyse the influence of triple negativity status on survival and disease free survival in prospective cohort of breast cancer patients. Methods: Breast tumors of 215 women aged 30–75, diagnosed from 2004 were tested for ER, PR and HER2 positivity by immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinical outcomes such as recurrence, disease free survival and overall survival using Kaplan Meiers Survival analysis and Coxs regression analysis. The study cohort was followed up for 60 months or until death whichever was earlier. Results: Triple negativity significantly influenced disease free survival (46 ± 3, 41, 52) vs. non triple negative cohort (mean ± SE; 95%CI, 37 ± 2; 32, 40) and log rank = 2.1, p = 0.04. However triple negativity did not influence overall survival in months (56 ± 0; 55, 56) vs. non triple negative cohort (43 ± 1; 42, 45), (log rank = 1.78, p = 0.16). However, the mean disease free survival was (45 ± 7; 32, 58) months for patients >40 years age vs (37 ± 4; 33, 39) for patients < 40 years of age (log rank = 2.87, p =0.02). Stage of disease, node status, grade and menopausal status did not influence disease free survival significantly. However, Cox regression analysis did not predict significant effects of triple negativity on overall survival or disease free survival when controlled for confounding factors such as age, node status, stage etc Conclusions: Our observations suggest that triple negativity can significantly affect progression of breast cancer in Indian breast cancer patients and longer follow up is necessary (10 years) to determine its effects on survival.
