Popis: | Purpose: The steroid receptor RNA activator (SRA) is a functional RNA suspected to participate in the mechanisms underlying breast tumor progression. This RNA is also able to encode for a protein, SRAP, whose exact function remains to be determined. Our aim was to assess, in a large breast cancer cohort, whether levels of this protein could be associated with outcome or established clinical parameters.Experimental Design: Following antibody validation, we have assessed SRAP expression by tissue-microarray (TMA) analysis of 372 tumors with known steroid receptor and node status. Clinical follow-up was available for all the corresponding patients. Immunohistochemical scores were independently determined by two investigators and averaged. Statistical analyses were performed using standard univariate and multivariate tests.Results: SRAP levels were significantly (Mann-Whitney rank sum test, P Citation Information: Cancer Res 2009;69(24 Suppl):Abstract nr 2017. |
