Abstract:
Objective : To study the expression of Ku80 in breastal carcinoma and to explore the correlation between the expression of Ku80 and the characters of clinic, pathology and biology.
Methods : Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of Ku80, ER, PR, HER-2 and mutant p53 in 65 cases of breast carcinoma.
Results : The expression of Ku80 was 78.5% and was associated with the tumor size and the expressions of ER, PR, HER-2 and mutant p53 (P<0.05). It was positively correlated with HER-2 (r
s =0.319,P=0.010). Conclusions : The expression of Ku80 in breast carcinoma had close relationship with prognosis factors, especially with HER-2; there may be a modulation pathway between Ku80 and HER-2.
