Abstract

Asparagine-betahydroxylase (ASPH) plays an important role in cell growth, differentiation, adhesion and migration. And ASPH is silent in adult tissues in normal. It expresses at very low levels or not expresses at all in most normal cells and tissues. High level of ASPH always be detected in aggressive tumor cells and it indicates worsened clinical prognosis. The expression of ASPH in paraffin-embedded tissue sections was detected by immunostaining. We analyzed the distributions and levels of ASPH by immunohistochemical staining in breast cancer. ASPH is expressed high in breast cancer. And we detected the expression of ASPH by Elisa in breast cancer cells (MCF7) and normal mammary epithelial cells (MCF10A). The level of ASPH is higher in MCF7 than MCF10A. In breast cancer, the ASPH positive cases are 15 of 34, and the positive rate is 44.1%. The higher grade cancer was associated with the higher levels of ASPH. And we found that the ASPH expression have relation to the expression of progesterone receptor (PR) and HER-2. Our study demonstrates that increased ASPH expression in breast cancer, and it has closed relation to the level of PR and HER-2. Therefore, ASPH may be closely related to the malignant degree and prognosis of breast cancer.
