It is believed that caspases may play a significant role in the development of cancer, and the expression levels of genes encoding these proteins may influence the prognosis and clinical course of cancer. Taking into account the information presented, we examined the expression profiles of 11 genes from the caspase family in patients diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). We qualified 29 patients with TNBC. A fragment of the tumor and a fragment of normal tissue surrounding the tumor were collected from each patient. Then, RNA was isolated, and the reverse transcription process was performed. The expression levels of caspase family genes were determined using the real-time PCR method. The obtained data were correlated with clinical data and compared with data from the Cancer Genome Atlas database using the Breast Cancer Gene Expression Miner v4.8 and Ualcan. Based on the results of the conducted research, it can be assumed that the levels of expression of caspase family genes may be correlated with the clinical course of cancer in patients with TNBC, and further research may indicate that profiling the expression levels of these genes may be used in selecting personalized treatment methods.
据信,半胱天冬酶可能在癌症发展中发挥重要作用,编码这些蛋白质的基因的表达水平可能影响癌症的预后和临床进程。考虑到所呈现的信息,我们检测了被诊断为三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)患者中11个来自半胱天冬酶家族基因的表达谱。我们纳入了29例TNBC患者。从每位患者身上采集肿瘤组织片段和肿瘤周围的正常组织片段。然后,分离RNA并进行逆转录过程。使用实时PCR方法测定半胱天冬酶家族基因的表达水平。将获得的数据与临床数据相关联,并使用乳腺癌基因表达挖掘器v4.8和Ualcan与癌症基因组图谱数据库的数据进行比较。基于所进行研究的结果,可以假设半胱天冬酶家族基因的表达水平可能与TNBC患者的癌症临床进程相关,并且进一步的研究可能表明分析这些基因的表达水平可用于选择个性化的治疗方法。
