Abstract
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome arm 3p, where the gene of thyroid hormone receptor beta (THRB) is located, has been reported in breast cancer. Although some studies performed in vitro have suggested that THRB could act as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer development, there is still no unequivocal evidence to support this. To determine the role of LOH in breast tumor development, the LOH of THRB and its proximal microsatellite markers D3S1293, D3S3659, D3S3700, D3S2307 and D3S2336 was investigated in a genomic region spanning ~3.3 Mb in tumor specimens and in corresponding normal tissues of 74 invasive breast cancer patients. The association was analyzed between LOH in microsatellite markers and clinicopathological characteristics. LOH was detected in D3S1293 (36.7%), THRB (59.4%), D3S3659 (37.5%) and D3S3700 (55.2%) among the informative cases, while LOH was not detected in D3S2307 and D3S2336. Cases exhibited LOH of 52.8%-71.4% if any 2 markers were combined and analyzed out of the first 4 microsatellite markers. LOH in THRB was associated with negative estrogen receptor (ER), negative progesterone receptor (PR), both negative estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor rece...Continue Reading
