Bariatric surgery mediated weight loss reduces breast cancer risk by reducing estrogen receptor alpha activity


ABSTRACT: Bariatric surgery mediated weight loss has been shown to significantly reduce breast cancer incidence in women. We hypothesize that loss of excessive adiposity, reduces net Estrogen Receptor Alpha activation which in turn lowers breast cancer risk. A differential gene expression analysis and subsequent pathway enrichment analysis would reveal the relevant molecular mechanism behind the preventive effect of weight loss. We will correlate our RNASeq data findings with serum and breast tissue concentration of hormones as well as expression of proteins regulating hormone synthesis in breast. For this study, we recruited 30 patients who were prescribed baritaric surgery and met our selection criteria (no familial or personal history of breast cancer and free of other confounding conditions). Breast tissue and blood was collected at the day of surgery and at follow up after the patient lost 25% excess body weight. The breast core biopsy was preserved in RNALater till rna isolation and library preparation.
