Prognostic relevance of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) expression in breast cancer.

Abstract:

PURPOSE:Multidrug resistance (MDR) has been linked to sphingolipid metabolism and preclinical data ascribe glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) a major role for MDR especially in breast cancer cells but no profound data are available on the expression of this potential therapeutic target in clinical breast cancer specimens. METHODS:We analyzed microarray data of GCS expression in a large cohort of 1,681 breast tumors. RESULTS:Expression of GCS was associated with a positive estrogen receptor (ER) status, lower histological grading, low Ki67 levels and ErbB2 negativity (P < 0.001 for all). In univariate analysis there was a benefit for disease free survival for patients with tumors displaying low levels of GCS expression but this significance was lost in multivariate Cox regression. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest ER positive tumors may be the most promising candidates for a potential therapeutic application of GCS inhibitors.
