RESUMO
Purpose To investigate the relationship be-tween the level of tumor abnormal protein(TAP)and the molec-ular subtypes and clinicopathological features of breast cancer,and to analyze the value of TAP in breast cancer screening,di-agnosis and prognosis prediction.Methods The clinical data of 357 breast cancer patients were collected,and the elbow venous blood was collected to detect the TAP condensate area.Immuno-histochemical(IHC)EnVision two-step method was used to de-tect the expression of AR,ER,PR,HER2,p53 and Ki67,and FISH to detect HER2 gene.The relationship between TAP ex-pression and clinicopathological features,molecular subtypes and clinical stages of breast cancer was analyzed,and the rele-vant literature was reviewed.Results Among 357 breast cancer patients,9 cases(2.52％)were TAP negative,36 cases(10.08％)were weakly positive,312 cases(87.40％)were strongly positive,and the positive rate of TAP was 97.48％.AR was positive in 321 cases and negative in 36 cases,ER was pos-itive in 256 cases and negative in 101 cases,PR was positive in 214 cases and negative in 143 cases,HER2 was strongly posi-tive in 98 cases,weakly positive in 214 cases and negative in 45 cases,p53 was positive in 146 cases and negative in 211 cases,Ki67 index was ≥20％in 276 cases and＜20％in 81 case.A total of 155 cases of IHC HER2(2+)breast cancer were tested by FISH:140 cases were negative and 15 cases were positive.The expression level of TAP in patients of ≥50 years old expres-sionas significantly higher than that in patients of＜50 years old(P＜0.05).The expression level of TAP in patients with high Ki67 proliferation index was significantly higher than that in pa-tients with low Ki67 proliferation index(P＜0.05).There was a significant difference in TAP expression between patients with different molecular subtypes(P＜0.05).Tap expression was higher in triple-negative breast cancer patients than in non-tri-ple-negative breast cancer patients(P＜0.05),and it was high-er in Luminal B breast cancer patients than in non-Luminal B breast cancer patients(P＜0.05).There was a significant difference in TAP expression between patients with different clin-ical stages(P＜0.05),and TAP expression level was positively correlated with clinical stage in breast cancer.Conclusion TAP detection can improve the diagnostic accuracy of breast cancer,and has a certain correlation with the survival rate and prognosis of breast cancer patients.
RESUMO
As water-soluble, natural pigments, anthocyanins are responsible for the red, purple and blue colors of many flowers, which attract pollinators to spread pollen. The colors of flowers are also essential for plants to survive in the nature and become one of the most significant characteristics of ornamental plants. In the booming floriculture industry, to produce various flower colors could increase the richness of natural colors, but it is still difficult to breed flowers with coveted blue color. The diversity of flower color is mainly determined by the types and contents of anthocyanins and their derivatives. The synthesis of delphinidin pigments is the key factor for breeding blue flowers. However, there are no structural genes in many plants to biosynthesize delphinidin pigments. Blue flowers are successfully created by genetic engineering in recent years. In this paper, using common ornamental plants as examples, we review the mechanism of plant flower coloration from the aspects of the key factors affecting the synthesis of delphinidin pigment and the production strategies of blue flowers based on the regulation of anthocyanin metabolism. Different strategies of molecular breeding could provide opportunities to improve colors of other floriculture plants and to develop anthocyanin-rich economic crops, such as colored cotton with blue fibers.
