Introduction: The lymphatic vasculature is an important route for the metastatic spread of human cancer. However, the extent to which this depends on lymphangiogenesis or on invasion of existing lymph vessels remains controversial. The goal of this study was to investigate the existence of lymphangiogenesis in invasive breast carcinoma: by measuring the lymphatic vessels density (LVD) and lymphatic endothelial cell proliferation (LECP) and their correlation with various prognostic parameters in breast cancer, including lymphovascular invasion (LVI).Methods: Lymphatic vessels density was investigated in 75 specimens of invasive breast carcinoma by immunostaining for D2-40 using the Chalkley counting method. Endothelial proliferation in lymphatic vessels was analyzed by dual-color immunohistochemistry with D2-40 and Ki-67.Results: Decrease of intra and peritumoral LVD in invasive breast carcinoma compared to fibrocystic breast disease was detected (p=0.002). Lymphatic endothelial cell proliferation was significantly higher in invasive breast cancer (p=0.008) than in the fibrocystic breast disease. LECP showed a correlation with histological grade of the tumor (p=0.05). Involvement of axillary lymph nodes with metastatic tissue was in strong correlation only with existence of lymphatic vascular invasion (p=0.0001).Conclusion: These results suggest that development of breast cancer promotes proliferation of lymphatic endothelial cells whose level correlates with histological grade of tumor, but in a scope that is insufficient to follow growth of tumor tissue that invades them and destruct them. This might explain the decrease of lymphatic vessels density.

AbstractGermline single nucleotide polymorphisms in the promoter region of the DCBLD1 gene are associated with non-smoking cases of both non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and human papillomavirus-negative head and neck cancer. However the clinical relevance and function of DCBLD1 remain unclear. This multicenter retrospective study was designed to evaluate the prognostic value and function of DCBLD1 in the four main solid cancers: NSCLC, invasive breast carcinoma, colorectal adenocarcinoma and prostate adenocarcinoma. We included the following cohorts: GSE81089 NSCLC, METABRIC invasive breast carcinoma, GSE14333 colorectal adenocarcinoma, GSE70770 prostate adenocarcinoma and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) Firehose Legacy cohorts of all four cancers. DCBLD1 gene expression was associated with a worse overall survival in multivariate analyses for both NSCLC cohorts (TCGA: P = 0.03 and GSE81089: P = 0.04) and both invasive breast carcinoma cohorts (TCGA: P = 0.02 and METABRIC: P < 0.001). Patients with high DCBLD1 expression showed an upregulation of the integrin signaling pathway in comparison to those with low DCBLD1 expression in the TCGA NSCLC cohort (FDR = 5.16 × 10–14) and TCGA invasive breast carcinoma cohort (FDR = 1.94 × 10–05).

BACKGROUND: The immune system is known to play an important role in tumor cell eradication. Although cancer cells were able to escape from the immune system, many studies showed mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrates known as tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) on breast cancer histopathology specimens showed better prognosis, including in disease-free survival (DFS) and chemotherapy responses. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to reveal the predictive value of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) levels and CD8 expression in invasive breast carcinoma of no special type patients’ samples on response to anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS: 75 pre-treatment biopsy samples that were diagnosed as invasive breast carcinoma of no special type were evaluated. TILs level determined following recommendations of International TILs Working Group 2014, CD8 expression assessed semiquantitatively after immunohistochemistry staining. Response to anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy evaluated clinically using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria and pathologically by evaluating hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slides from mastectomy specimens after 3 or 4 cycles of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS: Chi-squared analysis showed a significant relationship between TILs level and CD8 expression with chemotherapy responses clinically (p = 0.011 and p = 0.017 respectively) but not pathologically. Furthermore, the logistic regression test exhibit the predictive value of TILs level was 66.7% and CD8 expression was 64%. CONCLUSIONS: This study results suggest that TILs level and CD8 expression may be added as predictive factors to the response of anthracycline-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and oncologists may take benefit in breast cancer patient’s management.
