The overexpression of cyclin B1 and livin in breast carcinoma and its clinical significance
Objective:To study the expression of livin and its correlation with cyclin B1 in breast cancer.Methods:The expressions of livin and cyclin B1 in breast cancer paraffin embedded specimens were detected by immunohistochemical technique.The relationship between livin and cyclin B1 and clinicopathological characteristics was analyzed.Results:The rates of positive expression of livin and cyclin B1 protein in breast cancer were 77.2%and 68.4%
respectively
and the correlation was psitive(γ=0.701
P<0.001).The significant correlation of cyclin B1 with lymphnode metastasis expression was found in breast cancer.Conclusions:Our findings suggest that upregulated expression of livin and cyclin B1 proteins may play an important role in the development of breast cancer.The relationship between cyclin B1 and lymphnode metastasis expression indicates that higher cyclin B1 expression may imply patient’s poor prognosis.
