Abstract
Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal the proposed associations of the serum IgA and IgG antibodies against Bp, E2 and Pg, as well as E2 and Pg, with expression of ER, PR and Ki-67 in tumor during BC progression. The content of these antibodies and hormones in the blood serum of BCP I stage (N = 721) and II–IV stages (N = 853) was studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Tumor ER, PR and Ki-67 positive cells were detected using immunohistochemical methods. The percentage of BCP with high levels of Ki-67 positive tumor cells (>20%) at the II–IV stages was higher than at the I stage independently of IgA-Bp, IgA-E2 and IgA-Pg levels as well as individuals IgA-E2/IgA-Pg ratios (р<0.001). Such increasing of Ki-67 positive tumors was statistically insignificant in BCP with low IgA-Bp/IgA-Pg ratio (<1, p = 0.07). Decreasing of ER+/PR+ and increasing of ER-/PR- tumors were insignificant in BCP with averad levels of IgA-Bp (2–4 CU, р = 0.07) and IgA-Pg (1–2 CU, p = 0.11) and low ratios of IgA-Bp/IgA-Pg<1 (p = 0.43) and IgA-E2/IgA-Pg<1(р = 0.99). Such ER+/PR+ transformation was statistically significant (p<0.01) in the all others cases. There were no any associations of ER, PR and Ki-67 tumor transformation with studied IgG antibodies. The percentage of BCP with high levels of Ki-67 positive cells in tumor was not increased when E2 serum concentration was low (<100 pMol/L, p = 0.11), and when Pg/E2 ratio was high (>6, р = 0.06). Increasing of ER-/PR- tumors proportion was insignificant in BCP with low Pg levels (<400 pMol/L, p = 0.24) and low Pg/E2 ratios <3 (р = 0.13). Immunoassay for IgA-Bp, IgA-E2 and IgA-Pg is proposed for assessing tumor progressing in BCP (rate of proliferation and steroid receptors inversion).
