ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the correlation of thrombospondin-1(TSP-1) expression and angiogenesis and clinical pathologic factors in breast cancer.Methods:
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of TSP-1 mRNA in the primary breast cancer tissues and the tissues set apart 5 cm from the tumor. Im-munohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), c-erbB2, estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and microvessel density (MVD). All data were statistically analyzed.Results:
The positive rate of TSP-1 was significantly higher in breast cancer than that in tissues set apart 5 cm from tumor (P < 0.05). The expression of TSP-1 was positively correlated with tumor size only (P < 0.05). MVD was lower in TSP-1 positive group than that of negative group (P< 0.05).Conclusion:
The MVD was decreased with up-regulation of TSP-1 expression. Thrombospondin-1 may repress the angiogenesis in breast cancer.
