Epigenetic information and estrogen receptor alpha expression in breast cancer.
In industrialized countries, breast cancer is the most common tumor in women. The tumor expression of estrogen receptors (ERs) is a very important marker for prognosis and a marker that is predictive of response to endocrine therapy. The loss of ER expression portends a poor prognosis and, in a significant fraction of breast cancers, this repression is a result of the hypermethylation of CpG is...
متن کاملThe BCL9-2 proto-oncogene governs estrogen receptor alpha expression in breast tumorigenesis
The majority of human breast cancers express estrogen receptor alpha (ER), which is important for therapy with anti-estrogens. Here we describe the role of BCL9-2, a proto-oncogene previously characterized as co-activator of Wnt/ß-catenin signaling, for mammary tumorigenesis in mice and human. ER positive human breast cancers showed overexpression of BCL9-2 and tamoxifen treated patients with h...
متن کاملpromoter hypermethylation of estrogen receptor alpha gene is correlated to estrogen receptor negativity in iranian patients with sporadic breast cancer
objective: breast cancer is the most common cancer in iranian women. breast tumors are classified based on the estrogen receptor alpha (erα) expression status into er negative and er positive tumors. er negative tumors tend to have worse prognosis and less likely to respond to endocrine therapy. aberrant methylation of gene promoter is one of the mechanisms for gene silencing in breast tumors. ...
متن کاملSteroidal Hormone Receptor Expression in Male Breast Cancer
Introduction: The etiology of male breast cancer is unclear, but hormonal levels may play a role in development of this disease. It seems that the risk of male breast cancer related to increased lifelong exposure to estrogen or reduced androgen. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of the steroid hormone receptors including estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR...
متن کاملExpression of Androgen Receptor in Estrogen Receptor–positive Breast Cancer
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to estimate the implications of androgen receptor (AR) expression in estrogen receptor (ER)-positive subset of invasive breast carcinoma patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We assessed the AR expression in a subset of 96 predominantly ER-positive invasive breast carcinomas and correlated this expression pattern with several clinical and pathologic parameters: hi...
