High formin binding protein 17 (FBP17) expression indicates poor differentiation and invasiveness of ductal carcinomas.

ABSTRACT: Formin binding protein 17 (FBP17) belongs to Cdc-42 interacting protein 4 subfamily of F-BAR proteins. Recently, we had reported that FBP17 was overexpressed in invasive breast cancer cells and interacts with the actin regulatory proteins. We also reported that FBP17 promotes invadopodia formation and enhances extracellular matrix degradation. The current study determines FBP17 expression in invasive ductal carcinomas (IDCs) using breast cancer tissue microarrays (TMAs) (82 IDCs with variable receptor status and 8 Normal adjacent tissues) and its correlation with the clinico-pathological features. Immunohistochemistry of human breast cancer TMAs showed the significant elevation in the levels of FBP17 in breast cancer tissues than the normal (p ≤ 0.0001). Interestingly, FBP17 had a higher e
