Background: Breast carcinoma is a cancer with the highest number in women, Luminal B is the highest number of all types of invasive breast carcinoma in the world. Invasive breast carcinoma of luminal B is breast carcinoma with hormone-receptor positive (estrogen-receptor and/or progesterone-receptor positive), and either HER2 positive or HER2 negative with high levels of Ki-67. Determining the aggressiveness factor in invasive breast carcinoma is very important. PD-L1 is a checkpoint in the cancer cell immunity cycle that affects the aggressiveness of tumour cells and CD133 is a cancerous stem cell marker that plays a role in proliferation, renewal and invasion of tumour cells. This study aims to determine the relationship of PD-L1 and CD133 expression with metastasis in the invasive breast carcinoma of Luminal B subtype.
Methods: This study was an observational analytic study with a case control design to analyze 40 cases of invasive breast carcinoma Luminal B subtype, then divided into 2 groups, metastasis and nonmetastasis groups of 20 cases respectively. Then, all samples were performed by PD-L1 and CD133 immunohistochemistry staining, and then were associated with metastasis. All data were analyzed statistically, tested with a value of p < 0.05 from a significant level then processed with SPSS 24.0 for Windows.
Results: The results of this study indicate that there is a significant relationship in PD-L1 (p = 0.013), CD133 (p = 0.020) with metastasis. PD-L1 expression affects the incidence of metastasis more strongly than the CD133 expression, the high CD133 expression has the greatest risk of metastasis, compared to the high expression in PD-L1 (PD-L1 Odds Ratio : OR CD133 = 7.364 : 12,667).
Conclusions: The more increase in expression of PD-L1 and CD133 which demonstrated the more tendency for metastasis shows that PD-L1 had the most influence on metastasis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
