Potential interaction of Aurora-A amplification and BRCA2 mutation was examined in breast tumours from BRCA2 999del5 mutation carriers (n=20) and non-carriers (n=41). Aurora-A amplification studied by FISH was significantly more common in breast tumours from BRCA2 mutation carriers (p=0.0005). Extensive Aurora-A amplification was also detected on metaphase chromosomes in three breast epithelial cell lines with the same BRCA2 mutation. In addition, significant association was found between Aurora-A amplification and TP53 mutations in non-BRCA2 mutation carrier tumours (p=0.007). These results suggest that breast tumours with mutations in BRCA2 or TP53 could be promising candidates for Aurora-A targeted treatment.
在携带BRCA2 999del5突变的乳腺癌患者(n = 20)和非携带者(n = 41)的乳腺肿瘤中,检测了Aurora-A扩增与BRCA2突变之间的潜在相互作用。通过荧光原位杂交(FISH)研究发现,Aurora-A扩增在携带BRCA2突变的乳腺肿瘤中明显更为常见(p = 0.0005)。在具有相同BRCA2突变的三个乳腺上皮细胞系的中期染色体上,也检测到广泛的Aurora-A扩增。此外,在非BRCA2突变携带者的肿瘤中,发现Aurora-A扩增与TP53突变之间存在显著关联(p = 0.007)。这些结果表明,BRCA2或TP53发生突变的乳腺肿瘤可能是Aurora-A靶向治疗的理想候选对象。
