Title in Portuguese
Relação entre o gene B-Cell-Specific Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Integration Site 1 (BMI-1) e genes reguladores da recombinação homóloga em carcinomas ductais invasores da mama
Keywords in Portuguese
BMI-1
Câncer de mama
Carcinoma ductal invasivo
Recombinação homóloga
Abstract in Portuguese
Bmi-1 é uma proteína do grupo Polycomb capaz de induzir atividade de telomerase, levando à imortalização de células epiteliais. As células, quando imortalizadas, se tronam mais susceptíveis a danos em dupla fita (double-strand breaks (DSB))e a recombinação homóloga é uma das duas vias de reparo dos DSBs. Dentre os genes reguladores da recombinação homóloga temos o BRCA-1, que está envolvido na resposta ao dano associado à proteína RAD51, que por sua vez se acumula rapidamente nos focos de dano ao DNA após a sinalização do H2AX, que têm se mostrado um excelente marcador de dano celular por se acumular rapidamente nos focos de lesão, desencadeando o processo de reparo. Topoisomerase III (TopoIII) remove intermediários da recombinação homóloga antes da segregação de cromossomos, prevenindo danos à estrutura do DNA celular. O papel das proteínas envolvidas na recombinação homóloga, em carcinomas ductais invasores positivos para o BMI-1, necessita ser investigado. Utilizando-se tissue microarrays contendo 239 casos de carcinomas ductais mamários primários, foi analisada a expressão imunoistoquímica de BMI-1, receptor de estrógeno, receptor de progesterona, HER-2, Ki67, p53 e BRCA-1, H2AX, RAD51 e topoisomerase III. Positividade para o Bmi-1 foi encontrada em 66 casos (27.6%). A positividade imunoistoquímica do BMI-1 relacionou-se a RE (p=0,004), RP (p<0,001), Ki-67 (p < 0,001), p53 (p=0,003), BRCA-1(p= 0,003), H2AX (p= 0,024) e TopoIII (p < 0,001). Concluindo, nossos resultados mostraram haver relação entre o BMI-1 e genes reguladores da HR, sugerindo que a positividade de BMI-1 pode ser um importante evento na recombinação homóloga em carcinomas ductais invasores da mama.

Relationship between the gene B-Cell-Specific Moloney Murine Leukemia Virus Integration Site 1 (BMI-1) and homologous recombination regulatory genes in invasive ductal breast carcinomas

Abstract in English
Bmi-1 is a Polycomb group protein which is able to induce telomerase activity, enabling the immortalization of epithelial cells. Immortalized cells shown more susceptible to double-strand breaks (DSB) and the homologous recombination (HR) are one of DSB repair pathways. Among the regulatory genes in HR, there is BRCA1, involved in the response to DNA damage associated with the RAD51 protein, which accumulates in DNA damage foci after signaling H2AX. H2AX has also been shown to be a good marker of DNA damage. Topoisomerase III (TopoIII) removes HR intermediates before the segregation of chromosomes, preventing damage to the structure of the cellular DNA. The role of proteins involved in HR, in breast carcinomas positive for BMI-1, remains to be investigated. The aim of this study was evaluate the association between BMI-1 and homologous recombination proteins. Using tissue microarrays containing 239 cases of primary breast tumors, the expression of Bmi-1, BRCA-1, H2AX, Rad51, p53, Ki-67, topoisomerase III, RE, RP and HER-2 was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. We observe high expression of Bmi-1 in 66 cases (27.6%). Immunohistochemistry overexpression of BMI-1 was related to RE (p=0,004), RP (p<0,001), Ki-67 (p < 0,001), p53 (p=0,003), BRCA-1(p= 0,003), H2AX (p= 0,024) and TopoIII (p < 0,001). Our results showed a relation between the expression of BMI-1 and HR regulatory genes, suggesting that overexpression of Bmi-1 is an important event in breast cancer homologous recombination.
