    AIM: STATs and HIFs in human solid tumors play an important role in mechanisms of tumor growth. The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic role of STATs and HIFs in breast cancers. METHODS: Twenty-four breast carcinoma cases who underwent mastectomy and axillary dissection were included into the study. The presence of STATs and HIFs in 24 breast cancer cases was evaluated immunohistochemically. We evaluated the differences in tumor grade, diameter, limits, intratumor desmoplasia, inflammatory infiltration, necrosis, axillary lymph node involvement, estrogen, progesterone and CerbB2 staining. RESULTS: In this study, the presence of STATs and HIFs expressions in breast tumors is shown. In our study, no statistically significant correlation was found between tumor grade, diameter, limits, intratumor desmoplasia, inflammatory infiltration, necrosis, axillary lymph node involvement, CerbB2 staining status and STATs and HIFs expressions. However, STAT5a and estrogen staining and HIF2 alpha and progesterone staining were found statistically significant. In addition, STAT3 expression was found to have significantly higher correlation with luminal breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest that STATs and HIFs may play a role in the development of invasive ductal carcinomas

    ASSOCIATION OF E-SELECTIN S128R POLYMORPHISM WITH HEREDITARY BREAST CARCINOMA SUSCEPTIBILITY IN TURKISH PATIENTS WITHOUT BRCA1/2 GERMLINE MUTATIONS
    (MACEDONIAN ACAD SCIENCES ARTS, 2018-01-01) Yararbas, K.; Atalay, P. B.
    Inherited genetic factors play an important role in breast cancer susceptibility. The BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are the most well-known genetic factors associated with increased risk of breast cancer. E-selectin is a cell surface glycoprotein and its serum levels are known to increase in various cancers. The present retrospective study aimed to evaluate whether E-selectin S128R polymorphism (NG\_012124.1: g.7161A>C, NM\_000450.2: c.445A>C, NP\_000441.2: p.Ser149Arg), which is known to have a role in cancer risk, is associated with breast cancer susceptibility in BRCA1/2 mutation non carriers with breast cancer. The study included 90 patients with breast cancer and 270 healthy controls. All breast cancer patients were screened for BRCA1/2 mutations and confirmed to be BRCA 1/2 mutation non carriers before inclusion in the study. Genotyping for the E-selectin S128R polymorphism was performed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The frequencies of the AA, AC and CC genotypes were 70.0, 25.5 and 4.5\%, respectively, in the patient group and 79.25, 19.25 and 1.5\%, respectively, in the controls. The frequencies of A and C alleles were 84.8 and 15.2\% in the patient group, respectively, and 88.9 and 11.1\%. respectively, in the controls. No significant differences were determined in the genotype and allele frequencies of the E-selectin S128R polymorphism between the patient and control groups (p = 0.095). The S128R (A/C) polymorphism was not found to be associated with an increased risk of breast cancer {[}odds ratio (OR) = 0.69
