Abstract
Introduction Breast cancer is the most frequently seen cancer type in women, and it is the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths (1). Multiple number of factors play important [...]
Objective: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide. Adenine thymine-rich interactive domain 1A (ARIDIA) is a tumor suppressor gene involved in chromatin remodeling and it encodes the ARIDIA protein. Recent studies have shown the loss of ARIDIA protein expression in different carcinomas may have a prognostic significance. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the interactions between ARIDIA loss and molecular subtypes of breast carcinomas. Materials and Methods: ARIDIA expressions were studied in 292 formalin- fixed, paraffin- embedded breast carcinoma specimens and its association with different pathological and clinical parameters was evaluated. Results: Loss of ARIDIA expression was detected in 123 cases. There was no statistically significant association between ARID-1A expression and molecular subtype of breast carcinomas (p=0.110) or HER2 amplification (p=0.909). Contrarily, there was a significant association between ARIDIA expression and presence of estrogen (p=0.047) or progesterone receptors (p=0.023). Besides a statistically significant relationship was found between loss of ARIDIA, and the presence of both in situ component (p=0.016) and lymph node metastasis (p=0.001). Conclusion: In this study, we have demonstrated that loss of ARIDIA expression positively correlates with hormone receptor status as well as tumor aggressiveness.
