Abstract
Introduction
ALDH2, IGSF9, and PRDM16 play crucial roles in regulating diverse cellular pathophysiologic
functions. The current study was to evaluate the effect of the 3 proteins on clinicopathologic
features and prognosis of patients with breast cancer.
Materials and Methods
The formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue specimens were collected from breast
cancer patients by immunohistochemistry (IHC) were analyzed.
Results
Of the 216 patients enrolled, ALDH2 high expression was significantly correlated with
the age (p = .040), larger tumor size (p = .001), LVI (p < .001), LNM (p < .001), advanced TNM staging (p < .001), PR (p = .027), HER2 status (p = .002), and molecular subtype (p = .003). IGSF9 low expression was significantly correlated with the LV1 (p = .024), LNM (p = .024), advanced TNM staging (p = .001). The low expression of PRDM16 was significantly correlated with age (p = .023), and LNM (p = .014). The A+I−P− expression (13.4%) were markedly correlated with lymphatic vessel invasion (LVI)
(p < .001), lymph node metastasis (LNM) (p < .001), advanced TNM staging (p < .001). Furthermore, patients with A+I−P− expression had significantly advanced-stage breast cancer [stage III (72.4%) vs.
(23.0%)]. Univariate and multivariate analysis identified variables (ie, larger tumor
size, lymph node involvement, and A+I−P− expression) as independent prognostic factors for survival.
Conclusion
Our results reveal ALDH2 high expression, IGSF9 and PRDM16 low expression, A+I−P− expression was associated with advanced clinicopathological characteristics, and
shorter OS and DFS in breast cancer patients. The 3 proteins may be potential prognosis
markers and therapeutic targets for breast cancer patients.
