Expression and significance of estrogen receptor isoforms in different breast tissues
Objective To investigate the estrogen receptor (ER) isoforms ERα and ERβ expressions and their relationship with clinicopathological parameters in normal breast tissue
benign breast diseases
breast cancer in situ and invasive breast cancer tissue. Methods Breast tissue samples were obtained
including normal breast tissue (14 cases)
benign breast diseases (35 cases)
breast cancer in situ (8 cases) and invasive breast cancer (37 cases). Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expressions of ERα and ERβ in the breast tissues. Results The profiles of the ERα and ERβ expressions in normal tissues and the tissues of benign breast diseases were similar. Compared with normal breast tissues and benign breast diseases
ERα protein level was down-regulated in the tissues of breast cancer in situ and invasive breast cancer significantly (P0.01); ERβ protein level was down-regulated in the tissues of invasive breast cancer notably (P0.01); The coexpression of ERα and ERβ was decreased in the tissues of breast cancer in situ and invasive breast cancer remarkably (P0.01). Conclusion ERβ may play a role in the human breast cancer probably by modulating ERα activity.
