Abstract

Breast carcinoma is heterogeneous disease. Understanding the process of invasion and metastasis and the selection of the therapy for patients with breast carcinomas still remains difficult. MicroRNAs are powerful gene expression regulators. Because of inconsistent findings, we have analyzed potential difference in miR-155 levels in three breast cancer groups. Our goals were to examine miR-155 expression levels in normal tissue, non-invasive and invasive breast carcinomas, and their association with standard clinical and pathological parameters and oncomiR-21, and to investigate the ability of miR-155 to separate invasive breast carcinomas with non-invasive component from pure invasive. In the group of 40 breast tissue samples, relative expression levels of miR-155 were examined with stem-loop quantitative real-time PCR using TaqMan technology. The significant difference among four examined groups of the breast tissue was detected (p = 0.001). In the group of pure invasive tumors, patients with positive nodal status had significantly higher miR-155 levels (p = 0.046). Our results suggest that miR-155 might be involved in breast cancer pathogenesis and in tumor spreading to the lymph nodes, and that it might be used as biomarker for additional stratification of patients with invasive breast carcinomas with non-invasive component.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 19 February 2016.
All research outputs
#17,787,961
of 22,849,304 outputs
Outputs from Cancer Biomarkers
#218
of 579 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#206,065
of 300,621 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cancer Biomarkers
#9
of 23 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,849,304 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 579 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 300,621 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 26th percentile – i.e., 26% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 23 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
