Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation of phosphorylation AS160 (Thr642) regulation with tumor cell proliferative activity in breast cancer tissue. Methods The clinical data of 152 patients with breast cancer in 85 Hospital of People's Liberation Army from January 2003 to January 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. Immunohistochemical method was used to determine phosphorylation AS160(Thr642) and proliferation Ki-67(MIB-1) levels. Mitotic index was evaluated,and the expression characteristics of phosphorylation AS160(Thr642) was investigated in breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. The correlations of phosphorylation AS160(Thr642) with mitotic index and Ki-67(MIB-1) were analyzed by Spearman nonparametric test. Results The phosphorylation AS160 (Thr642) was positively correlated with mitotic index (r=0.493,P<0.001) and Ki-67 (MIB-1) (r=0.472,P<0.001). The phosphorylation AS160(Thr642) in mitotic tumor cells was strongly positive in cell line and breast cancer tissue. Conclusions The phosphorylation AS160 is correlated with tumor cell proliferative activity and might be useful as a marker and a potential treatment target for breast cancer.
