Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding betaine--homocysteine S-methyltransferase 2, BHMT2, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. BHMT2 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of BHMT2 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with distant metastasis-free survival in patients with luminal B subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. BHMT2 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding tescalcin, TESC, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. TESC was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. TESC mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of TESC in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. TESC may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding transformer 2 alpha homolog, TRA2A, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. TRA2A was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. TRA2A mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of TRA2A in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding centrosomal protein 112, CEP112, also known as FAM126A, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. CEP112 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of CEP112 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with post-progression survival in patients with luminal B subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. CEP112 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding p21 (RAC1) activated kinase 3, PAK3, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. PAK3 was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. PAK3 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of PAK3 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with post-progression survival in patients with luminal B subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by molecular subtype. PAK3 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding angiopoietin 1, ANGPT1, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. ANGPT1 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of ANGPT1 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with luminal B and normal-like subtype cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. ANGPT1 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.

We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the systems level genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with breast cancer. We report here significant differential expression of the gene encoding plexin A4, PLXNA4, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast. PLXNA4 mRNA was present at significantly lower quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue.
