We thank Dr. Vitor Carneiro (pathologist from the Hospital do Divino Espírito Santo, Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, Azores), for his help in retrieving the breast cancer samples for this study. ; The goal of the present work was to evaluate the correlation of glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) with the monocarboxylate transporters 1 (MCT1) and 4 (MCT4) and their chaperone, CD147, in bre...
Osteopontin has been reported to stimulate cell adhesion, migration and specific signalling functions. Its overexpression has been found in melanoma, breast, lung, colorectal, stomach and ovarian cancer. However, its overexpression and role in human breast cancer remains to be elucidated. In this study, invasive breast tumours from 129 patients were examined by immunohistochemistry in order to assess osteoponti...
O carcinoma de mama é a neoplasia maligna mais comum em mulheres. Estudos moleculares do carcinoma de mama, baseados na identificação do perfil de expressão gênica por meio do cDNA microarray, permitiram definir pelo menos cinco sub-grupos distintos: luminal A, luminal B, superexpressão do HER2, basal e normal breast-like. A técnica de tissue microarray (TMA), descrita pela primeira vez em 1998, permitiu estuda...
