Objective:To study the relationship between expressions of α-,β-catenins and cyclin D1 and the occurrence,infiltration and metastasis of breast cancer.Methods:High sensitive S-P immunohistochemical method was used to detect the protein expressions of α-,β-catenins and cyclin D1 in the 60 cases of breast cancer tissues.Results:Abnormal immunoreactivities of α- and β-catenins were observed in 37(61.7%)and 42(70%)cases of breast Cancer tissues,respectively.There were 28 cases(46.7%)who showed cyclin D1 overexpression.The abnormal expression rates of α -and β-catenins in infiltrating lobular carcinoma(ILC)were significantly higher than those in infiltrating ductal Carcinoma(IDC)(P＜0.05),but they had no relations to the extenl of differentiation and lymphatic metastasis of breasl Cancer(P＞0.05).The overexpression rate of cyclin D1 was correlated with tumor stage and lymphatic metastasis of breast cancer(P＜0.05),but not with histological type and lhe extent of differentiation(P＞0.05).Cyclin D1 overexpression was observed in 57.1%(24/42)of these cases that showed abnormal staining of β-catenin,but only observed in 22.2%(4/18)of these cases with normal membranous staining of β-catenin.There was a significantly positive correlation between the abnormal expression of β-catenin and overexpression of cyclin D1(rs=0.321.P＜0.05).Conclusion:The abnormal expression of β-Catenin may play an important role in the genesis of breast cancer by triggering cyclin D1 overexpression in breast cancer.The abnormal expressions of α- and β-catenins are not a key factor in malignant cell metastasis in breast cancer,but may also involve in the progress.
