2004 JUL 1 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Survivin, Bcl-2, p53 and bax expression are increased in breast carcinoma.

According to published research from Turkey, "Survivin is a recently discovered member of the family of proteins that inhibits apoptosis. This anti-apoptotic compound can be detected in most types of cancer and expression is associated with a poor prognosis."

Using immunohistochemistry, "we investigated the expression of survivin in breast carcinomas and intraductal epithelial neoplasia of the breast to determine whether expression of this protein is associated with clinicopathological parameters such as grade, stage, mitotic rate.

"In 34 out of 43 cases (79.1%) of breast carcinoma and 22 out of 62 cases (35.4%) of intraductal epithelial neoplasia with mild, moderate and severe ductal epithelial," F. Kayeselcuk and colleagues reported, "cell hyperplasia stained positively for survivin. None of the histological parameters analyzed were significantly correlated with survivin expression in breast carcinomas."

Kayeselcuk continued, "In the carcinoma cases, survivin expression was positively correlated with expression of bcl-2, but was not correlated with expression of p53, bax, c-erbB-2 and estrogen, or progesterone. Some of the intraductal epithelial neoplasia cases with moderate or severe ductal epithelial hyperplasia ...
