Gene expression of Epithelial Membrane Protein 2 gene and β1-Integrin gene in patients with breast cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer and the leading cause of cancer death in women. The function of over a thousand genes is reported as affected by genetic modifications in breast cancer.

Objectives

To study the gene expression of Epithelial Membrane 2 (EMP2) and β1-Integrin genes in patients with breast cancer.

Subjects and methods

This study was carried out by cooperation between the Biochemistry Division Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science and Medical Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University. This study included 120 subjects divided into 2 groups Group I: Included 60 women with breast cancer undergoing modified radical mastectomy. Tissue specimens were taken from the cancerous br
