Expression of tropomyosin isoforms in benign and malignant human breast lesions

British Journal of Cancer

Abstract

High molecular weight tropomyosins (tms) are commonly down-regulated in fibroblasts transformed by oncogenes. Previous studies have also demonstrated that specific tm isoforms are down-regulated in human breast carcinoma cell lines. We examined tropomyosin isoforms in cells prepared from non-cancerous breast lesions and primary human breast carcinomas. The average level of expression of all three high molecular weight tm isoforms (tm 1-3) in carcinomas was generally found to be less than 25% of that observed in non-cancerous breast lesions. Interestingly, the expression of tm 1 was found to be 1.7-fold higher in primary tumours with metastatic spread to axillary lymph nodes compared with primary tumours with no evidence of metastasis (p<0.05). Similarly, tm 1 expression was higher in two 12V-H-ras transformed fibroblast cell lines capable of experimental metastasis compared with three weakly metastatic cell lines. We conclude from these studies that expression of high molecular weight tm isoforms is low in primary breast carcinomas, and that metastatic tumours express relatively high levels of tm 1.
