Abstract

It is well known that tumor cells proliferation is regulated by sex steroid hormones, estradiol and progesterone (E2 and Pg) in breast cancer patients (BCP). Apart from that auto-antibodies specific to estrogen receptor (ERα) were detected in the blood serum of BCP. Their levels positively correlated with the percentage of Ki-67 expressing breast cancer cells. We proposed that antiidiotypic auto-antibodies to E2 and Pg (IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg) could act as antibodies against membrane ER and progesterone receptor (PR). Our study aimed for research of IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg according to E2 and Pg serum levels in association with Ki-67 positive tumors in BCP. Antiidiotypic antibodies were studied in ER+BCP (374 – I stage and 379 – II–IV stages) using ELISA technique with monoclonal antibodies against E2 and Pg as adsorbed antigens. Blood serum concentrations of E2 and Pg measured using “ImmunoEA-Estradiol” and “ImmunoEA-Progesterone” test-sistems (“Immunotech”, Moscow). Tumor Ki-67 was studied by standart immunohistochemical technique in Kemerovo oncological hospital. The high percentage of Ki-67 positive breast cancer cells (Ki-67>30) was higher in BCP II–IV stages than in I stage (50.7% vs 29.8%, p<0,001). Such raise were detected for the BCP with low levels of both IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg: 1) at the low serum concentration E2≤200 pmol/L (50.9% vs 21.3%, р<0.001); 2) at the high E2>200 pmol/L (74.2% vs 34.1%, р = 0.003); 3) at the low Pg≤600 pmol/L (60.6% vs 22.2%, р<0.001); 4) at the high Pg>600 pmol/L (58.5% vs 30.8%, р = 0.02). There were not revealed the same differences between II–IV and I stages BCP with low levels of both IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg. Corresponding Ki-67>30 indicators were: 1) 36.9% vs 22.0% (р = 0.14); 2) 48.4% vs 34.5% (р = 0.08); 3) 34.0% vs 27.7% (р = 0.75). The statistically significant differences were detected in BCP with Pg>600 pmol/L and high IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg levels only: 48.1% vs 26.6%, (р = 0.01). So antiidiotypic auto-antibodies to steroid hormones take part in regulation of tumor proliferation in BCP. Immunoassay of IgG2-E2 and IgG2-Pg may be used for prognosis of tumor proliferation at the growing breast cancer.
