Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the expression of macrophage migration inhibition factor(MIF) gene in breast cancer by evaluating the expression levels of MIF-mRNA in breast cancer and normal breast tissues.

Methods

Total RNA was extracted from breast cancer tissue and beside-cancer tissue.The MIF- mRNA expressions of breast cancer tissue and beside-cancer tissue of 38 patients were tested by RTPCR,and the relation between them was analyzed.

Results

The MIF- mRNA level in the breast cancer tissue (0.82 ±0.07)was significantly higher than that of beside-cancer tissue (0.57 ±0.03),(P <0.05),and significantly higher in patients with positive metastasis of axillary lymph nodes than in patients with negative metastasis of axillary lymph nodes.

Conclusion

MIF,as a cytokine,whose expression increases significantly in breast cancer,might be involved in pathogenesis and metastasis of breast cancer.

Key words: Breast carcinoma, Macrophage migration inhibition factor gene
