Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) expression has been identified in a number of malignant tumors. It is noted that its overexpression gives growth advantages to cancer cells. Estimation of transferrin receptor expression in breast cancer (BC) might be an important component in disease prognosis, choice of treatment, also might be an attractive target for targeted therapy.</p> <p><bold>Aim</bold>. To evaluate the expression of TfR1 by BC cells and to study its relationship with the clinical, morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of the tumor.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods</bold>. This study included 82 patients with BC who received treatment at the Blokhin National Medical Research Center of Oncology (Moscow). The expression of TfR1 on primary tumor cells was studied, the relationship of TfR1 with clinical, morphological and immunophenotypic characteristics of BC was analyzed. Immunophenotyping of the primary tumor was performed by the immunohistochemical method (immunofluorescent staining) on cryostat sections. Antibodies to CD71, CD95, CD54, CD29, MUC1, Pgp170 were used. The reaction was evaluated using a luminescent microscope (AXIOSKOP, Germany). The study was dominated by patients with stage IIB – 54% and IIIB – 21%. Infiltrative ductal BC was diagnosed in 67% (n=55) of patients, infiltrative-lobular – in 22% (n=18) of cases, other types – in 11.0% (n=9).</p> <p><bold>Results</bold>. BC cells expressed TfR1 in most cases (64.4%; n=61). A combination of TfR1 monomorphic expression with MUC1 monomorphic expression (74.4%; n=47) was noted. CD29 is presented both mosaic (38.7%) and monomorphic (51.6%). The Pgp170 antigen was monomorphically observed in 27.5% of cases. As the proportion of TfR+ cells increased, the expression frequency of the adhesion molecule CD54 increased from 10.5 to 33.3%, a positive correlation was established (r=0.293; <italic>p</italic>=0.008). In the group with TfR1 monomorphic expression, the frequency of tumors expressing the CD95 apoptosis molecule decreased: 25.0% vs 13% (<italic>p</italic>=0.042).</p> <p><bold>Conclusion</bold>. BC cells overexpress TfR1. TfR1 expression is associated with tumor immunophenotype.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Обоснование</bold>. Экспрессия рецептора трансферрина 1 (TfR1) обнаружена при ряде злокачественных опухолей. Отмечается, что его гиперэкспрессия придает ростовые преимущества клеткам рака. Оценка экспрессии трансферринового рецептора при раке молочной железы (РМЖ) может стать важным компонентом в прогнозировании заболевания, выборе тактики лечения. TfR1 может оказаться привлекательной мишенью для таргетной терапии.</p> <p><bold>Цель</bold>. Оценить уровень экспрессии TfR1 клетками РМЖ и изучить его взаимосвязь с клинико-морфологическими и иммунофенотипическими характеристиками опухоли.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы</bold>. В работу включены 82 больных РМЖ, которые получали лечение в ФГБУ «НМИЦ онкологии им. Н.Н. Блохина». Изучена экспрессия TfR1 на клетках первичной опухоли, проанализирована взаимосвязь TfR1 с клинико-морфологическими и иммунофенотипическими характеристиками РМЖ. Иммунофенотипирование первичной опухоли выполнено иммуногистохимическим методом (иммунофлуоресцентное окрашивание) на криостатных срезах. Использованы антитела к CD71, CD95, CD54, CD29, MUC1, Pgp170. Оценку реакции проводили с помощью люминесцентного микроскопа ZEISS (AXIOSKOP, Германия). В исследовании преобладали больные с IIB (54%) и IIIB-стадиями РМЖ (21%). Инфильтративно-протоковый РМЖ диагностирован у 67% (n=55) больных, инфильтративно-дольковый – в 22% (n=18) случаев, другие виды – в 11,0% (n=9).</p> <p><bold>Результаты</bold>. Клетки РМЖ экспрессировали TfR1 в большинстве случаев (64,4%, n=61), при этом отмечено сочетание его мономорфной экспрессии с мономорфной экспрессией мембранного белка MUC1 (74,4%; n=47). СD29 был представлен как мозаично (38,7%), так и мономорфно (51,6%). Антиген Pgp170 мономорфно наблюдался в 27,5% случаев. По мере нарастания пропорции клеток, которые несут TfR1, увеличивалась частота экспрессии молекулы адгезии CD54 (с 10,5 до 33,3%), установлена положительная корреляция (r=0,293; <italic>р</italic>=0,008). В группе с мономорфной экспрессией TfR1 уменьшалась частота опухолей, экспрессирующих молекулу апоптоза CD95: 25,0% vs 13% (<italic>р</italic>=0,042).</p> <p><bold>Заключение</bold>. Клетки РМЖ гиперэкспрессируют TfR1. Экспрессия TfR1 связана с иммунофенотипом опухоли.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>transferrin receptor 1</kwd><kwd>TfR1</kwd><kwd>CD71</kwd><kwd>immunophenotype</kwd><kwd>breast cancer</kwd><kwd>immunofluorescence</kwd><kwd>cryostat sections</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>трансферриновый рецептор 1</kwd><kwd>TfR1</kwd><kwd>СD71</kwd><kwd>иммунофенотип</kwd><kwd>рак молочной железы</kwd><kwd>иммунофлуоресценция</kwd><kwd>криостатные срезы</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Global Cancer Statistics 2020.
