Özet
Breast cancer has distinct causes and molecular characteristics at premenopausal and postmenopausal ages. The age-standardized incidence rate for postmenopausal breast cancer is more than 10 times higher than in premenopausal breast cancer. Here, we showed that the expression of 10 out of 20 most frequently mutated genes in breast cancer (namely, PIK3CA, CDH1, MUC16, PTEN, FAT3, FAT1, SPEN, ARID1A, LRP1B and RUNX1) is higher in premenopausal women with breast cancer than in postmenopausal women with breast cancer. The most significant differences in the expression in terms of menopause status were observed for RUNX1 and FAT1. Furthermore, we found that the majority of these 10 genes also show ER (estrogen receptor) or PR (progesterone receptor) status-dependent expression in both premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Unlike what we observed in the case of ER or PR status, the expression of most of these genes does not change depending on HER2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2) status in both premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancer patients. Combined, our analysis suggests that menopause status might influence the expression of most frequently mutated genes in breast cancer, and that the most of these genes whose expression differ between pre- and post-menopausal women with breast cancer also show ER or PR status-dependent expression in women with breast cancer.
