Abstract
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are involved in cell growth, motility, and differentiation. Deregulation of RTKs signaling is associated with tumor development and therapy resistance. Potential RTKs like TAM (TYRO3, AXL, MERTK), RON, EPH, and MET have been evaluated in many cancers like lung, prostate, and colorectal, but little is known in breast tumors. In this study, 51 luminal breast cancer tissue and 8 triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtypes were evaluated by qPCR for the expression of TAM, RON, EPHA2, and MET genes. Statistical analysis was performed to determine the correlation to clinical data. TYRO3 is related to tumor subtype and stage, patient's age, smoking habits, and obesity. MET expression is correlated to EPHA2 and TAM gene expression. EPHA2 expression is also related to aging and smoking habits. The expression levels of the TAM and EPHA2 genes seem to play an important role in breast cancer, being also influenced by the patient's lifestyle.
期刊介绍:
Cell Biochemistry and Function publishes original research articles and reviews on the mechanisms whereby molecular and biochemical processes control cellular activity with a particular emphasis on the integration of molecular and cell biology, biochemistry and physiology in the regulation of tissue function in health and disease.
The primary remit of the journal is on mammalian biology both in vivo and in vitro but studies of cells in situ are especially encouraged. Observational and pathological studies will be considered providing they include a rational discussion of the possible molecular and biochemical mechanisms behind them and the immediate impact of these observations to our understanding of mammalian biology.
