γ-h2ax as a protein biomarker for radiation exposure response in ductal carcinoma breast tumors: experimental evidence and literature review
Authors
abstract
background: h2ax is a histone variant that is systematically found and ubiquitously distributed throughout the genome. dna double-strand breaks (dsbs) induce phosphorylation of h2ax at serine 139 (γh2ax), an immunocytochemical assay with antibodies recognizing γh2ax has become the gold standard for the detection of dsbs. the importance of this assay to investigate different individual responses to gamma irradiation was reviewed and an example of different radiation responses of ductal carcinoma tumors with different expression levels of atm and her-2 was discussed. materials and methods: the ductal carcinoma breast tissues were exposed to 4 gy gamma rays and after 24 hours incubation in modified rpmi 1640 medium in 37 °c with co2, the frequency of residual induced dsb was assessed using γh2ax assay compared to pair normal adjacent and control breast tissues. results: results showed that the frequency of dsb dramatically increased in both tumor and normal irradiated tissues, compared to sham non-irradiated controls. tumors with her-2 over expression showed significantly lower residual dsb frequencies after 24 hours post irradiation incubation time, whereas this frequency dramatically increased in atm under expressed tissues. conclusion: our data showed that different tissues may have different radio-sensitivity and atm under- and her-2 over-expression may lead to higher and lower sensitivity to ionizing radiation, respectively. this may be due to the role of atm in dsb repair and her-2 in egfr downstream signaling pathway that with the use of cell survival mechanisms ends to resistance against radiation effects and activation of pi3k/act that leads to dsb repair.

Radiotherapy is an effective cancer treatment, but, there are individualized variable responses and also even with highly conformal treatment planning, associated radiation toxicities in neighboring normal tissues remain the major limiting factor for delivering tumoricidal doses. Clear differences exist between patients regarding their individual tissue responses after radiotherapy. Even after ...

Background: Medullary breast carcinoma (MBC) is a unique histological subtype of breast cancer. The present study aimed to evaluate the classic and non-classic characteristics of MBC and its differences with IDC. The present review study incorporates 22 years of practical experience from a breast disease research center-based series of cases.Methods: Retrospectively, the medical records of 3,24...

Breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a preinvasive form of breast cancer. It typically presents as microcalcifications which are picked up on screening mammogram. We report an atypical case of breast DCIS presenting with recurrent non-puerperal mastitis with a normal mammogram and perform a literature review.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide. Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) is the most frequent invasive form of breast cancer followed by metastasis. There is no accepted marker for distinguishing this form from other less aggressive forms of breast cancer. Therefore, finding new markers especially molecularly detectable ones are noteworthy. It has been show...
