pS2 and response to adjuvant hormone therapy in primary breast cancer

Abstract: Summary We reviewed 319 primary breast tumours for cytosolic pS2 content, with a median follow-up of 6 years. pS2 status correlated positively with oestradiol and progesterone receptors and negatively with Scarff, Bloom and Richardson grade. pS2 positivity was associated with longer overall survival, particularly in patients who received hormone therapy, in whom pS2 status was also predictive of the response to therapy.

“…As reported in previous studies, we noted a correlation between pS2 and ER and PgR (Foekens et al, 1990;Predine et al, 1992;Spyratos et al, 1994). There was also a weak association of Cath D with both ER and PgR, as already found in several studies (Cazin et al, 1993;Gion et al, 1995), but not all (Granata et al, 1991).…”

“…In the overall population, pS2 was weakly positively correlated with FSH and LH levels and negatively to E 2 and Pg. This is probably because of the correlation between pS2 and menopausal status that was noted in our study as in previous reports (Foekens et al, 1990;Predine et al, 1992;Spyratos et al, 1994) because, in premenopause, no correlations were found between E2, Pg, gonadotrophin and pS2. However, in the subset of ER+ premenopausal women, pS2 was correlated with the E2 level, suggesting that pS2 expression, like Cath D, could be increased by E2 in some ER+ breast tumours.…”

“…As expected, PCR products were amplified in anti-ER␣ as well as anti-p300 ChIPs, primarily in chromatin preparations of E2-treated cells (lanes 4 and 10). These results are consistent with a ligand-dependent binding of ER to the pS2 promoter, as previously demonstrated by gel-shift analyses of estrogen responsive promoters (29). Lack of amplification of promoter sequences of GAPDH, which is not an ER target, demonstrated the specificity of results.…”

“…The chromatin immunoprecipitations were carried out with pre-immune (negative control), anti-hADA3, anti-ER␣, and anti-p300 (positive controls) antibodies, and the associated DNA was used as a template for the PCR amplification of the pS2 promoter sequences incorporating a known ERE (29). As shown in Fig.…”
