| Popis: | The proto-oncogene B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL6) is an evolutionarily conserved zinc finger protein and a potent transcriptional repressor. It is also the master regulator of B-lymphocyte development. Emerging evidence indicates that BCL6 may play an important role in breast cancer progression. In this study, we investigated the expression of BCL6 and tis correlation with the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-associated transcription factors zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 1 (ZEB1) and ZEB2 in invasive breast cancers. The mRNA and protein expression of BCL6, ZEB1 and ZEB2 were examined using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, respectively, in 228 breast cancer patients and 80 patients with breast benign diseases. The association of BCL6, ZEB1 and ZEB2 expression with clinicopathological parameters and patient survival were analyzed. We found that the expression of BCL6, ZEB1 and ZEB2 protein and mRNA were significantly higher in breast cancer tissues than in breast benign disease tissues (P Note: This abstract was not presented at the meeting.
