NPM1 is a multifunctional phosphoprotein that commutes between the cytoplasm and nucleus in cell cycle process, which appears to be actively involved in tumorigenesis. Herein, we sought to investigate the possible role and prognostic value of NPM1 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC).

Knockdown of nucleophosmin 1 suppresses proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer cells through activating CDH1/Skp2/p27kip1 pathway.

Early-onset breast cancer (BC) has been recognized to be more aggressive compared with its later counterparts. Survival models of BC in young patients have rarely been reported in previous studies. The current study aimed to establish and validate prediction models with clinicopathological variables for visceral metastasis-free survival (VFS), disease-free-survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) time in young patients with BC. Clinicopathological data were obtained for 351 patients with primary breast tumors who were ≤40 years old. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed and nomograms were established to screen and illustrate the prognostic factors. Risk scores were calculated based on coefficients from the Cox regression analysis. Internal validation of the prediction models was conducted by predicting the prognosis of cases randomly sampled from the cohort used in the current study. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that N stage (P=0.004), molecular subtype (P=0.007) and age (P=0.005) were significant independent prognostic factors for VFS. Similarly, N stage (P=0.002) and molecular subtype (P=0.001) were significantly associated with DFS. In addition, N stage (P=0.006), molecular subtype (P=0.006) and the presence of an initially inoperable tumor (P=0.005) were significant independent prognostic factors for OS. According to the Cox regression analysis, nomograms were generated to illustrate the effect of independent prognostic factors on VFS, DFS and OS. Risk scores were calculated and internal validation demonstrated the reliability of the prediction models. In conclusion, N stage and molecular subtype were identified as predictors for VFS, DFS and OS in early-onset BC. Furthermore, an age of <35 years at diagnosis was revealed to be unfavorable for VFS and the presence of an initially inoperable tumor was identified to reduce OS time.

Use of clinical nomograms for predicting survival outcomes in young women with breast cancer.

Growing evidence has indicated that the  (), frequently deregulated in almost all tumor types tested, acted as a pivotal contributor to both cancer initiation and progression. However, the role of  in human papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains controversial. The aim of the study was to investigate the expression and potential function of  in human PTC.
