摘要: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression levels methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (NADP + -dependent) 2 (MTHFD2) and associated clinical implications in breast cancer. MTHFD2 measured by Western blot immunohistochemistry 698 tissue sections taken from cancer patients. relationship between expression, clinicopathological parameters, prognosis subsequently determined. In comparison with para-carcinoma specimens, an enhanced observed specimens (P < 0.05). total, 41.12 % (287/698) had high MTHFD2. After universal Spearman regression correlation analyses, found correlate tumor size, histological grade, lymph node metastasis, distant metastases = 0.001, 0.002, respectively). Furthermore, patients MTHFD2-expressing tumors a significantly poorer than those no or low expression. 0.002). Using Cox test, identified as independent prognostic factor 0.001). differentially expressed tissue. Therefore, protein may be potential therapeutic target for future treatments.
