Abstract:

Objective

To explore the expression of chemokine CXCL16 in human breast cancer and its clinical significance.

Methods

The tissue samples were collected from 94 cases of invasive breast cancer,20 cases of carcinoma in situ and 20 cases of breast benign lesions in Shenzhen Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital from March 2012 to December 2013. The expressions of CXCL16 protein in samples were detected by immunohistochemical method. The relationships between the expression of CXCL16 and the clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer patients including patients’ age, tumor size, histological grade, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis status were also analyzed. The data was processed using χ2 test and rank sum test.

Results

The expression of CXCL16 protein was statistically different among invasive breast cancer group,carcinoma in situ group and benign lesion group (χ2 =22.058,P=0.000). CXCL16 protein expression in invasive breast cancer was significantly higher than that in carcinoma in situ or in benign lesions (P=0.007,0.000). CXCL16 protein expression showed a statistical difference among invasive breast cancer patients with different tumor sizes, TNM stages and with or without lymph node metastasis (Z=-2.013,-2.166,-2.222;P=0.035,0.030,0.026), but no significant difference was observed between different age groups and between the patients with different histological grades (Z=-0.418, P=0.676; χ2=0.011,P=0.995).

Conclusion

CXCL16 may play a certain role in the development and metastasis of breast cancer.
