The aim of present study is to explore the immunohistochemical profiles of brain metastases from breast cancer. We retrospectively performed immunohistochemical staining for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor type 2 (HER2/neu), and cytokeratin (CK) 5/6 in 29 patients with resected tumor specimens of brain metastases. Immunohistochemical staining for ER, PgR and HER2/neu was performed in 24 patients with primary tumors. The positive frequency of immunohistochemical profiles of ER, PgR, HER2/neu, and CK5/6, in the brain metastases were 13.8%, 6.9%, 37.9%, and 24.1%, respectively. The immunohistochemical profiles including ER, PgR, and HER2/neu of the primary tumor and the brain metastasis differed in seven patients (29.2%, N = 7/24). Interestingly, the biological characteristics of brain metastasis sometimes changed which were represented by immunohistochemical staining. Therefore, the changes in the biological features of breast cancer should be taken into account when developing treatment strategies, including new molecular-targeted drugs, for brain metastases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007633 Keratins A class of fibrous proteins or scleroproteins that represents the principal constituent of EPIDERMIS; HAIR; NAILS; horny tissues, and the organic matrix of tooth ENAMEL. Two major conformational groups have been characterized, alpha-keratin, whose peptide backbone forms a coiled-coil alpha helical structure consisting of TYPE I KERATIN and a TYPE II KERATIN, and beta-keratin, whose backbone forms a zigzag or pleated sheet structure. alpha-Keratins have been classified into at least 20 subtypes. In addition multiple isoforms of subtypes have been found which may be due to GENE DUPLICATION.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011960 Receptors, Estrogen Cytoplasmic proteins that bind estrogens and migrate to the nucleus where they regulate DNA transcription. Evaluation of the state of estrogen receptors in breast cancer patients has become clinically important.

D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.

D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D004815 Epidermal Growth Factor A 6-kDa polypeptide growth factor initially discovered in mouse submaxillary glands. Human epidermal growth factor was originally isolated from urine based on its ability to inhibit gastric secretion and called urogastrone. Epidermal growth factor exerts a wide variety of biological effects including the promotion of proliferation and differentiation of mesenchymal and EPITHELIAL CELLS. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form.
