Gross cystic breast disease is a common benign disorder in which palpable cysts occur in the breast and are normally treated by aspiration of the contents. The cysts are classified as either Type 1, containing a high level of potassium ions and a low level of sodium ions, or as Type 2, with low potassium and high sodium ion concentrations. Steroid sulphatase activity in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell lines is regulated by exogenous breast cyst fluid (BCF), possibly because of cytokines in the BCF. A screening method was used to determine the range of cytokines in eight BCFs, four of each type. This was an array system, which uses antibodies immobilised on a membrane to qualitatively detect 79 different cytokines or growth factors. Nine cytokines were detected well above background levels: all were found in both types of BCF, but only epidermal growth factor (EGF) was higher in Type 1. All the other factors were higher in Type 2 BCF. Two of these cytokines, IL-6 and EGF, have previously been suggested to affect steroid sulphatase expression and several (MIP-1beta, IL-8, NAP-2) are known to affect MCF-7 cell chemotaxis. In addition two cytokines were measured by ELISA in 57 BCFs, and both IL-1beta and IL-13 were found in BCF, with significantly higher amounts of IL-1beta in Type 1 than Type 2 BCF (35.5+/-4.4 pg/ml versus 9.9+/-2.9 pg/ml).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005348 Fibrocystic Breast Disease A common and benign breast disease characterized by varying degree of fibrocystic changes in the breast tissue. There are three major patterns of morphological changes, including FIBROSIS, formation of CYSTS, and proliferation of glandular tissue (adenosis). The fibrocystic breast has a dense irregular, lumpy, bumpy consistency.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
D047688 Breast Cyst A fluid-filled closed cavity or sac that is lined by an EPITHELIUM and found in the BREAST. It may appear as a single large cyst in one breast, multifocal, or bilateral in FIBROCYSTIC BREAST DISEASE. Breast Cysts,Cyst, Breast,Cysts, Breast
D053583 Interleukin-1beta An interleukin-1 subtype that is synthesized as an inactive membrane-bound pro-protein. Proteolytic processing of the precursor form by CASPASE 1 results in release of the active form of interleukin-1beta from the membrane.

D018793 Interleukin-13 A cytokine synthesized by T-LYMPHOCYTES that produces proliferation, immunoglobulin isotype switching, and immunoglobulin production by immature B-LYMPHOCYTES. It appears to play a role in regulating inflammatory and immune responses. IL-13,IL 13,IL13,Interleukin 13

D040081 Protein Array Analysis Ligand-binding assays that measure protein-protein, protein-small molecule, or protein-nucleic acid interactions using a very large set of capturing molecules, i.e., those attached separately on a solid support, to measure the presence or interaction of target molecules in the sample.
