Apoptosis is an established cell stress response to NAC in preclinical models; however, there is limited understanding of its role in clinical cancer, specifically, its contribution to favorable pathologic responses in breast cancer therapy. Here, we aimed to characterize the change in protein expression of 3 apoptosis-associated biomarkers, namely, BCL-X L , MCL-1, and BAX in breast cancer in response to NAC. For this, we utilized a set of 68 matched invasive breast cancer FFPE samples that were collected before (pre) and after (post) the exposure to NAC therapy that were characterized by incomplete pathologic response. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis suggested that most of the samples show a decrease in the protein expression of all 3 markers following exposure to NAC as 90%, 69%, and 76% of the matched samples exhibited a decrease in expression for BCL-X L , MCL-1, and BAX, respectively. The median H-score of BCL-X L post-NAC was 150/300 compared with 225/300 pre-NAC ( P value <0.0001). The median H-score of MCL-1 declined from 200 pre-NAC to 160 post-NAC ( P value <0.0001). The median H-score of BAX protein expression decreased from 260 pre-NAC to 190 post-NAC ( P value <0.0001). There was no statistically significant association between the expression of these markers and stage, grade, and hormone receptor profiling (luminal status).

Despite the advances in surgical and therapeutic management, tumor metastases and poor prognosis are still major problems. Tumor budding is a relevant prognostic factor in CRC, and it can predict tumor metastasis. Galectin3 is responsible for the development and progression of many cancers through the regulation of cell-cell/cell-matrix interactions and tumor cell invasion. Tubulin is a microtubule protein, and maspin is a serine protease inhibitor; both induce tumor cell invasion through the stimulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the expression of galecin3, tubulinβ, and maspin in CRC and clinicopathological features, including tumor budding, their prognostic roles, and clinical implications using immunohistochemistry. Galectin3, tubulinβ, and maspin were detected in tumor cells in 95%, 65%, and 87.5% of cases and in stromal cells in 28.8%, 40%, and 0% of cases. High expression of galectin3 and tubulinβ expression either in tumor cells or stroma was significantly associated with aggressive tumor features such as lymph node metastasis, lymphovascular invasion, tumor budding, and advanced tumor stage. The nucleocytoplasmic expression of maspin in tumor cells showed a significant association with deeper tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, tumor budding, and advanced tumor stage. Significant associations were found between high galectin3 tumor cell expression and nucleocytoplasmic maspin and shorter survival. High expression of galectin3, tubulinβ, and nucleocytoplasmic maspin were significantly associated with aggressive tumor features such as tumor invasion, metastasis, high tumor budding, and short survival in CRC.
