Proliferative activity of breast cancers increases in the course of genetic evolution as defined by cytogenetic analysis.

Abstract:

:The prognostic value of proliferative activity and its relationship with steroid hormone receptors and histopathological grade have been demonstrated for breast cancers. However, nothing is known about the underlying mechanisms. In order to understand the chronology of the appearance of increased proliferative activities, we used a series of 760 consecutive breast cancers for which we had obtained S-phase fractions (SPFs) by DNA flow cytometry. When the absolute difference from a DNA index of 1.00 was compared to SPFs, a significant positive correlation was obtained (r = 0.39, p < 0.0001), indicating that the probability of observing a high SPF increases when tumors progressively deviate from diploidy. A highly significant correlation was observed for the hyperploid group when hypertetraploid tumors were excluded, as the SPFs increased progressively as the DNA indices decreased from 2.00 to 1.30. This observation suggested a relationship with the evolution of chromosomal abnormalities as determined by cytogenetic analysis. Indeed, in a subset of 52 cases for which sufficient metaphases were available, there was a highly significant correlation between the SPF values and the proportion of rearranged chromosomes in the tumor cells (r = 0.60, p < 0.0001). When SPFs were separated into low or high using the median value (4.5%), a correlation also existed with the genetic evolution, since they increased from diploidy to hypodiploidy and then, after endoreduplication, from tetraploidy towards triploidy, as determined by the chromosome counts. Our results substantiate the relationship between proliferative activity and steroid hormone receptors which follow the same model.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
