摘要

Gene amplification is one essential mechanism leading to oncogene activation which is supposed to play a major role in the pathogenesis of invasive breast cancer. However, using standard methodologies the detection of gene amplifications has been limited especially in small-sized lesions, like pre-invasive precursor lesions. The combination of two novel technologies, laser-based microdissection and quantitative real-time PCR, facilitates the detection of low-level amplifications in morphologically defined lesions. As a model system we investigated in situ breast cancer (ductal carcinoma in situ, DCIS) classified according to the morphology-based Van Nuys grading system for amplification of growth-regulatory genes. In this study 83 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded archival DCIS specimens were examined after laser-based microdissection by quantitative real-time PCR using the TaqMan detection system for amplification of the c-erbB2, topoisomerase IIalpha, c-myc and cyclinD1 gene. In a subset of 17 DCIS with adjacent infiltrating tumour components we compared intraductal and invasive tumour components in parallel for differences in amplification status. The combination of these new techniques represents an excellent tool to gain new insights into carcinogenesis by analyzing genetic alterations in morphologically identified heterogeneous lesions in breast cancer progression within the very same specimen or even tissue slide.
