[Correlation of E2F-1 and Rb expression with papillomatosis and ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast].

OBJECTIVE
E2F-1 and Rb are involved in cell cycle regulation. This study was to illustrate the mechanism of transformation from benign papillomatosis to ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast in relation to E2F-1 and Rb expression.


METHODS
In situ hybridization (ISH) was used to determinate the expression of E2F-1 and Rb mRNA of mild papillomatosis (MP, n = 40), severe papillomatosis (SP, n = 40) and DCIS (n = 40). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to examine the expression of E2F-1 and Rb protein.


RESULTS
The positive rate of E2F-1 mRNA expression in MP, SP and DCIS was 17.5%, 45.0% and 80.0%, and that of E2F-1 protein expression was 20.0%, 47.5% and 77.5%, respectively. There were significant differences among the three groups (P < 0.01), and between any two groups (P < 0.01). The positive rate of Rb mRNA expression in MP, SP and DCIS was 90.0%, 50.5% and 20.0%, and that of Rb protein expression was 85.0%, 52.5% and 22.5%, respectively, with statistically significant difference similar with that of E2F-1. With the progression of papillomatosis to DCIS, the expression of E2F-1 mRNA and protein increased, while that of Rb decreased. The protein expression by IHC was positively correlated with the mRNA expression by ISH. However, that of E2F-1 was negatively correlated with Rb.


CONCLUSION
E2F-1 and Rb might provide a valuable basis for screening high risk papillomatosis and new target of gene therapy for pre-cancerous lesions of the breast.
