Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI parameters of breast cancer tissue and their correlation with cancer cell proliferation and invasion

摘要

Objective:To study the dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) parameters of breast cancer tissue and their correlation with cancer cell proliferation and invasion.Methods: A total of 92 patients with breast mass who underwent surgical treatment in our hospital between July 2012 and June 2016 were collected as research subjects. According to the results of pathological examination, the patients were divided into breast adenoma group (n=52) and breast cancer group (n=40). DCE-MRI parameter levels of breast mass were analyzed between two groups of patients, and the mRNA expression of proliferation and invasion genes in tumor samples were compared. Pearson test was used to further evaluate the relationship between the DCE-MRI parameter levels of breast cancer tissue and the malignant degree of tumor.Results:The DCE-MRI parameter TTP level in breast cancer group was lower than that in breast adenoma group while EER and SLOPE levels were higher than those in breast adenoma group. Proliferation genes C6orf106, HMGB2, ETS-1 and BRG1 mRNA expression in tumor tissue of breast cancer group were higher than those of breast adenoma group, and invasion genes ADAM9, Ezrin and Nanog mRNA expression were higher than those of breast adenoma group while CRM197 and EBP50 mRNA expression were lower than those of breast adenoma group. The Pearson test showed that the DCE-MRI parameter levels of breast cancer tissues were directly correlated with the mRNA expression of proliferation and invasion genes.Conclusion:DCE-MRI parameter levels are abnormal in breast cancer tissues, and the abnormal degree is directly correlated with the malignant biological behavior of tumor cells.
