Abstract

Loss of caveolin-1 (Cav-1) and upregulation of monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs, especially MCT1 and MCT4) in respectively tumor-associated stromal cells and malignant epithelial cells of invasive carcinoma have been found to play an important role in the metabolic coupling. However, this phenomenon has only been scarcely described in pure ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast. mRNA and protein expression levels of Cav-1, MCT1, and MCT4 in nine pairs of DCIS tissues and matched normal tissues were examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, RNAscope in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. Immunohistochemical staining of Cav-1, MCT1, and MCT4 in 79 DCIS samples was also done using tissue microarray. Cav-1 mRNA expression was significantly lower in DCIS tissues than in their corresponding normal tissues. In contrast, MCT1 and MCT4 mRNA expression levels were higher in DCIS tissues than in corresponding normal tissues. Low stromal Cav-1 expression was significantly associated with high nuclear grade. High epithelial MCT4 expression was associated with larger tumor size and human epidermal growth factor 2 positivity. At a mean follow-up of 10 years, patients with high epithelial MCT1/high epithelial MCT4 expression showed shorter disease-free survival than those with other expressions. No significant association was observed between stromal Cav-1 expression and epithelial MCT 1 or MCT4 expression. Changes in Cav-1, MCT1, and MCT4 are associated with carcinogenesis of DCIS. A high epithelial MCT1/high epithelial MCT4 expression might be associated with a more aggressive phenotype.
