Abstract:Objective To evaluate the expression of PTEN protein in endometrial disease of patients taking Tamoxifen (TAM) after breast cancer operation, and to explore its relationship with TAM-related endometrial disease on a molecular level. Methods From January to December 2018,56 cases with breast cancer receiving TAM (20 mg/d) after surgery in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University were selected. Among them, 10 cases with irregular vaginal bleeding or regular B-ultrasound follow-up showed abnormal thickening of the endometrium which were hospitalized for hysteroscopic curettage to obtain endometrium specimens were named as TAM group after breast cancer operation. At the same time, 10 cases with whole hysterectomy normal endometrium of “the cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade Ⅲ or uterine fibroids” were named as normal endometrium group. 10 cases withⅠ type of endometrial adenocarcinoma were named as endometrial cancer group. Normal endometrial group and endometrial cancer group were control group. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of PTEN protein in endometrial tissues of patients in 3 groups. Results The quantitative expression of PTEN protein in the three groups were significantly different (P < 0.05). The quantitative expression of PTEN protein in endometrial cancer group was lower than that in normal endometrial group, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The expression intensity of endometrial cancer group was lower than that of normal endometrial group, and the expression intensity of TAM group after breast cancer operation was lower than that of normal endometrial group. Conclusion The PTEN gene may used as an early molecular marker for predicting TAM-associated endometrial disease, and its mutation may play an important role in the development of TAM-associated endometrial disease.
