C-erbB-2 protein and neuroendocrine expression in intraductal carcinomas of the breast. 1992

Department of Pathology, Norwegian Radium Hospital, Oslo, Norway.

A total of 52 intraductal carcinomas were classified according to nuclear size and histologic subtype and immunostained for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and c-erbB-2 oncoprotein. Eleven out of 13 cases of the large cell comedo variant of intraductal carcinoma exhibited strong c-erbB-2 protein immunoreactivity, while only one was NSE positive. Nineteen out of 23 intraductal carcinomas of small cell type exhibited NSE immunoreactivity. None of these was c-erbB-2 protein positive. Some 72% of NSE positive cases were also immunoreactive for other neuroendocrine screening markers and/or hormones. We conclude that there is an inverse relationship between NSE immunoreactivity and c-erbB-2 protein expression in intraductal carcinomas.

D018719 Receptor, ErbB-2 A cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase receptor that is overexpressed in a variety of ADENOCARCINOMAS. It has extensive homology to and heterodimerizes with the EGF RECEPTOR, the ERBB-3 RECEPTOR, and the ERBB-4 RECEPTOR. Activation of the erbB-2 receptor occurs through heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB receptor family member.
