Abstract
Aim: This study aimed to demonstrate misregulation of KMT2B gene expression in breast cancer tissue. Materials & methods: Cancerous and marginal tissue samples were collected from 43 female patients. After RNA extraction and cDNA synthesis, quantitative-PCR was used to evaluate the expression level of the KMT2B gene. REST, Sigma plot and SPSS software were used to analyze data. Results: KMT2B gene expression was significantly decreased in tumor tissue compared with marginal tissue (p = 0.02). No significant correlation was found between expression levels of KMT2B and clinical parameters of patients (p > 0.05) Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that downregulation of KMT2B is associated with breast cancer and its misregulation may play an important role in tumorigenesis.
期刊介绍:
Breast Cancer Management (ISSN: 1758-1923) addresses key issues in disease management by exploring the best patient-centered clinical research and presenting this information both directly, as clinical findings, and in practice-oriented formats of direct relevance in the clinic. The journal also highlights significant advances in basic and translational research, and places them in context for future therapy. Breast Cancer Management provides oncologists and other health professionals with the latest findings and opinions on reducing the burden of this widespread disease. Recent research findings and advances clinical practice in the field are reported and analyzed by international experts. The journal presents this information in clear, accessible formats. All articles are subject to independent review by a minimum of three independent experts. Unsolicited article proposals are welcomed and authors are required to comply fully with the journal’s Disclosure & Conflict of Interest Policy as well as major publishing guidelines, including ICMJE and GPP3. Coverage includes: Diagnosis and imaging, Surgical approaches, Radiotherapy, Systemic therapies, Cancer clinical trials, Genetic aspects of disease, Personalized medicine, Translational research and biomarker studies, Management of psychological distress, Epidemiological studies, Pharmacoeconomics, Evidence-based treatment guidelines.
