Abstract
AbstractThe concept of breast-conserving surgery is a remarkable achievement of breast cancer therapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is being used increasingly to shrink the tumor prior to surgery. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is reducing the tumor size to make the surgery with less damaging to surrounding tissue and downstage locally inoperable disease to operable. However, non-effective neoadjuvant chemotherapy could increase the risks of delaying surgery, develop unresectable disease and metastatic tumor spread. The biomarkers for predicting the neoadjuvant chemotherapy effect are scarce in breast cancer treatment. In this study, we identified that FZR1 can be a novel biomarker for breast cancer neoadjuvant chemotherapy according to clinical patient cohort evaluation and molecular mechanism investigation. Transcriptomic data analysis indicated that the expression of FZR1 is correlated with the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that FZR1 is pivotal to the chemotherapy drugs induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. FZR1 is involved in the stability of p53 by impairing the phosphorylation at ser15 site. We demonstrate that the expression of FZR1 detected by quantification of IHC can be an effective predictor of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in animal experiment and clinical patient cohort. To obtain more benefit for breast cancer patient, we propose that the FZR1 IHC score using at the clinical to predict the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
