BackgroundGrowth arrest and DNA-damage-inducible protein 45 alpha (GADD45A) was previously found to be associated with risk of several kinds of human tumors. Here, we studied the expression and clinical significance of GADD45A in breast cancer.MethodsWe performed an immunohistochemical study of GADD45A protein from 419 breast cancer tissues and 116 adjacent non-neoplastic tissues.ResultsSignificantly high GADD45A expression were observed in breast cancer tissues compared with adjacent non-neoplastic tissues (P < 0.001) and were independently correlative with estrogen receptor negative (P = 0.028) and high Ki-67 index (P < 0.001). Kaplan–Meier survival analysis revealed that patients with high GADD45A expression levels had a worse long-term prognosis in triple negative breast cancer (P = 0.041), but it was not an independent prognostic factor in multivariate analysis (P = 0.058).ConclusionsGADD45A expression levels are significantly correlative with estrogen receptor status and Ki-67 index in human breast cancer. Patients with triple negative breast cancer might be stratified into high risk and low risk groups based on the GADD45A expression levels.

Background: Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor, threatening the general health of women worldwide. Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) is a member of nuclear receptor family and has been shown to involve in the pathophysiology of breast cancer. However, the specific relationship between ERRα and the triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), is not clear yet. Objective: This study examined the relevance between ERRα expression and different clinical features of breast cancer patients. Methods: The expression level of ERRα in 150 human breast cancer tissues (which contains 48 human triple negative breast cancer tissues) and 53 human benign breast tumor tissues using immunohistochemical staining. Results: ERRα protein level was significantly higher in breast cancer tissues than that in benign tumors. High expression of ERRα was significantly associated with the high grade but not the clinical stage and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 of the breast cancer tissues. Its high expression was also positively correlated with triple negative breast cancer in pathological grade 2 and 3, but not in grade 1. high expression of ERRα was positively correlated with triple negative breast cancer in each clinical stage. In addition, high expression of ERRα was associated with shorter overall survival of breast cancer patients. Conclusion: In conclusion, highly expressed ERRα was associated with higher pathological grades triple-negative breast cancer and shorter overall survival. Future studies were required to recruit more patients to consolidate the current findings.

Summary Introduction. MicroRNAs are a class of small, non-coding RNA molecules able to regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level through binding to the 3’-UTR of the targeted mRNA, thus suppressing translation of the mRNA. In various diseases, including malignancies, expression of microRNAs is altered. Moreover, the altered expression of the microRNAs correlates with clinical and pathophysiological features of cancer thus making them good candidates for prognostic/predictive markers. Aim of the study. The aim of this study was to determine expression level of five different microRNAs (miR-10b, miR-21, miR-29a, miR-31, and miR-214) in breast cancer tissues and to look for the differences in microRNA expression between distinct subtypes of breast cancer. Material and methods. Forty five breast cancer and corresponding resection line tissues (control tissues) were studied. Breast cancer tissues were classified into the subtypes of triple-negative (23), luminal-A (13), luminal-B (7), and HER2+ (2). Quantitative analysis of miR-10b, miR-21, miR-29a, miR-31, and miR-214 was performed by real-time PCR. The expression levels of microRNAs were normalized by the expression of the reference gene RNU6B. The event-free survival in regard of high and low expression levels of microRNAs were analyzed by Log-rank (Mantel Cox) and Gehan-Breslow-Wilcoxon tests. Results. Expression levels of four microRNAs (miR-21, miR-29a, miR-31, and miR-214) were significantly higher in cancer tissues than in corresponding resection line tissues. Breast cancer patients with low expression level of miR-21 showed a trend of better event-free survival than breast cancer patients with high expression level of miR-21; however, this trend did not reach statistical significance. In triple-negative tumor tissues, miR-21, miR-29a, and miR-31 showed significantly higher expression level than in luminal-A tumor tissues. Expression levels of miR-21 and miR-29a were significantly higher in triple-negative tumor tissues than in luminal-B tumor tissues. Conclusions. Breast cancer patients with high expression level of miR-21 in tumor tissues show a trend of worse event-free survival, though; this trend did not reach statistical significance. Different microRNA expression in distinct subtypes of breast cancer points to the genetic heterogeneity of breast cancer, different regulatory targets and signaling pathways
