Abstract
AbstractOur cluster analysis of the Cancer Genome Atlas for co-expression of HSP27 and CRYAB in breast cancer patients identified three patient groups based on their expression level combination (high HSP27 + low CRYAB; low HSP27 + high CRYAB; similar HSP27 + CRYAB). Our analyses also suggest that there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between HSP27 and CRYAB and known clinicopathological markers in breast cancer. Screening an unbiased 248 breast cancer patient tissue microarray (TMA) for the protein expression of HSP27 and phosphorylated HSP27 (HSP27-82pS) with CRYAB also identified three patient groups based on HSP27 and CRYAB expression levels. TMA24 also had recorded clinical-pathological parameters, such as ER and PR receptor status, patient survival, and TP53 mutation status. High HSP27 protein levels were significant with ER and PR expression. HSP27-82pS associated with the best patient survival (Log Rank test). High CRYAB expression in combination with wild-type TP53 was significant for patient survival, but a different patient outcome was observed when mutant TP53 was combined with high CRYAB expression. Our data suggest that HSP27 and CRYAB have different epichaperome influences in breast cancer, but more importantly evidence the value of a cluster analysis that considers their coexpression. Our approach can deliver convergence for archival datasets as well as those from recent treatment and patient cohorts and can align HSP27 and CRYAB expression to important clinical-pathological features of breast cancer.
