The prognostic significance of thymidine phosphorylase, thymidylate synthase and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase mRNA expressions in breast carcinomas.

Abstract:

:Thymidine phosphorylase (TP), thymidylate synthase (TS) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) have been indicated as possible predictive markers for epithelial malignancies. All these three enzymes are actively involved in 5-FU metabolism. In this report, we investigated mRNA expression of these factors with real-time quantitative PCR in a series of 86 micro-selected breast carcinomas and 8 micro-selected tumour-adjacent normal breast epithelial specimens. Highly variable mRNA expressions of these factors were observed in both normal and cancerous samples. TP and TS mRNA expressions in breast carcinomas were elevated, but only TS mRNA expression showed a trend for statistical difference, compared with the expression in normal breast epithelial samples. Although the DPD mRNA expression range in tumours was also elevated, the average mean was reduced in tumours compared to that in normal samples. No association between mRNA expressions of TP, TS and DPD and clinicopathological features such as histological grade, tumour size, node status, S-phase fraction, ploidy, and clinical stage was found. A negative association between DPD mRNA expression and age was, however, revealed. Ten-year follow-up analysis showed no association between TP and DPD mRNA expression and clinical outcome. An high level of TS mRNA expression, however, was associated with a shorter clinical survival, indicating its potential role as a clinical marker in breast carcinoma.
