Abstract

Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) are allelic X-linked recessive diseases caused by mutations in the dystrophin (DMD) gene. To our knowledge, molecular analysis to differentiate between DMD and BMD has never been performed in Indonesia. Objective To elaborate the clinicopathologic and molecular profiles of DMD/BMD patients in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Methods Eighteen muscle biopsy specimens of patients clinically suspected to have DMD/BMD were collected. Possible associations of clinical manifestations, histopathological grading, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) results were analyzed. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to identify mutations in exon 52. Results. Positive Gower’s sign and high serum creatine kinase (CK) were observed in most patients. The IHC of dystrophin in two female patients suggested that they were manifesting carriers. Of the 16 male patients, 12 showed negative IHC staining, indicating DMD, while 4 patients demonstrated weak expression of dystrophin, indicating BMD. There was a significant association between high CK level and IHC results (P=0.005), indicating higher CK level in DMD patients. Histopathological grading of muscle biopsy was significantly associated with diagnosis of DMD/BMD using IHC (P=0.01), showing more severe tissue damage in DMD patients. None of the subjects had the single exon 52 deletion. Conclusion This is the first report of a clinicopathologic and molecular profile of DMD/BMD in an Indonesian population. Serum CK level and histopathological grading of muscle biopsy are useful in distinguishing DMD from BMD in settings where an IHC assay is not available.

Abstract

ABSTRACT BackgroundBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in women of which majority histological type is Invasive (Ductal) Carcinoma of No Special Type (NST). The prognosis in breast carcinoma is influenced by many factors such as age, tumor size, degree of histology, and lymph node metastasis. Another factor in the development and metastasis of breast cancer is the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand, CXCL12. Studies state that the expression of CXCR4 in Breast Invasive Carcinoma associated with clinicopathologic aspects remain unclear. This study aims to determine differences in the level of CXCR4 mRNA expression between clinicopathologic aspects in breast carcinoma..MethodA total of 50 samples of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissues diagnosed as invasive breast carcinoma (NST) are used in this study. Samples are divided into groups, namely with and without lymph node metastasis, age <45 years and> 45 years, small and large size, low grade and high grade. CXCR4 mRNA expression is quantitatively examined by qRT-PCR. CXCR4 mRNA expression differences between various clinicopathologic aspects were analyzed by One-Way ANOVAResultOf the 50 samples, 26 samples (52%) revealed increased expression of CXCR4 mRNA compared to normal tissue. There were no significant differences in mRNA expression of  CXCR4 between various prognostic factors (p> 0.05) such as the status of lymph node metastasis, histologic grading, size, and age. However, the expression of CXCR4 mRNA is increased in breast carcinoma when compared to normal breast tissue. Nonetheless the level of CXCR4 expression alone is not associated to clinicopathologic aspects in invasive breast carcinoma.ConclusionCXCR4 mRNA expression did not differ significantly between the various clinicopathological aspects of invasive breast carcinoma. Keyword: invasive breast carcinoma, mRNA of CXCR4, Clinicopathologic aspects

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Interaction between estrogen and estrogen receptor (ER) takes part in the regulation and differentiation of breast tumorigenesis. Some ERα polymorphisms, including ERα rs3798577, are reported to be associated with the risk and aggressiveness of breast carcinoma since the site was reported to be targeted by microRNA, which can further modulate the ERα expression. Hence, this study was conducted to disclose the possible role of ERα SNP rs3798577 on breast carcinoma patients.METHODS: Samples were taken from the post-mastectomy breast carcinoma tissues of female patients and screened based on the completeness of medical and histopathological records. DNA isolation was proceeded using real time-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) then analyzed for high resolution melting (HRM). The nucleotide base sequence was then analyzed based on rs3798577 ERα polymorphism. ER immunohistochemistry test was carried out and counted quantitatively based on the staining intensity and the percentage of the stained cells.RESULTS: Out of 65 samples, there were 33 samples as wild type and 32 samples as variant type. Most variant and wild type had >80% ERα percentage. Most variant type had middle ERα intensity, while wild type had strong ERα intensity. Higher percentage of variant type (52.2%) was found with weak ERα histoscore, meanwhile higher percentage of wild type (52.4%) was found with strong ERα histoscore, but not significant (p=0.725).CONCLUSION: ERα rs3798577 variant type had a lower ERα intensity and weaker ERα histoscore compared to the wild type, suggesting that ERα rs3798577 polymorphism might play a role in breast carcinoma risk determination.KEYWORDS: breast cancer, ERα, rs3798577, polymorphism, immunoexpression
