Serum soluble CD14 is a potential prognostic indicator of recurrence of human breast invasive ductal carcinoma with Her2-enriched subtype.

ABSTRACT: In clinical practice, breast cancers with lymph node positive, ER/PR-negative and overexpressed human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (LN+ER/PR-Her2+) have high risk of recurrence, but the effective biomarkers of prognostic for this type tumor are still lacking. Since breast cancers with LN+ER/PR-Her2+ is at higher risk of recurrence than those with LN-ER/PR+Her2-. The differential proteins between those two groups could be related to the risk of recurrence. Herein, we report that serum soluble CD14 (sCD14) was revealed as the stable differential protein between LN+ER/PR-Her2+ (n=50) and LN-ER/PR+Her2- (n=50) breast cancer patients by proteomics analysis. To validate sCD14 as a biomarker for predicting recurrence of breast cancer, 90 breast cancer patients with LN+ER/PR-Her2+ and 93 pat
