Abstract

Tau is a member of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) and expressed in normal breast epithelium and breast cancer cells. Tau expression levels in early breast cancer were correlated with the responsiveness of taxane-containing chemotherapy. However, it is unknown whether Tau contributes to breast cancer progression. Herein, Tau expression in recurrent and metastatic breast cancer (RMBC) and its predictive significance in taxane-containing palliative chemotherapy were investigated. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining was conducted to detect Tau protein expression levels in biopsies from 285 patients with RMBC, and the correlation between Tau expression and sensitivity to taxane was evaluated. One hundred twenty-one (42.46 %, 121/285) patients were Tau positive in their tumor. One hundred ninety-four (68.07 %, 194/285) patients were effective clinical remission, which evaluated with response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST) criteria. In this group, 141 (85.98 %, 141/194) patients were Tau negative. We further analyzed the correlation between Tau expression and clinicopathological characteristics. Tau expression was positively correlated to estrogen receptor (ER) status. Multivariate logistic regression analysis sho...Continue Reading
