Background:Cancer-associated fibroblasts, play a central role in the tumor-stroma interaction and promote tumorigenesis. However, it is still unclear how these processes are regulated. The aim of this study is to investigate p16 expression in cancer and stromal cells of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC).Design:Clinicopathologic parameters and immunohistochemical stains for estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor, E-cadherin, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 of 70 ILC cases were retrieved. In addition, immunohistochemical were performed for p53, p16, and cyclin D1. The p16 expression in cancer and stromal cells were correlated with different clinicopathologic parameters.Results:Of the 70 cases, 8 cases were p16− cancer and stromal cells, 14 cases p16− cancer and p16+ stromal cells, 14 cases p16+ cancer and p16− stromal cells, and 34 cases p16+ cancer and stromal cells. Thirty-one of the 59 cases showed axillary lymph node metastases. Nodal involvement, recurrence, and metastasis of ILC with p16+ cancer cells and p16− stromal cells were more frequent compared with other groups. ILC with p16+ cancer and p16− stromal cells were frequently negative for ER, progesterone receptor, and cyclin D1, p53 positive and triple negative compared with other groups. There was no recurrence and metastasis in ILC with p16− cancer and p16+ stromal cells. ILC with p16+ cancer and stromal cells were significantly node negative and were positive for ER and cyclin D1 compared with other groups.Conclusions:ILC with p16+ cancer and p16− stromal cells were characterized by frequent nodal involvement, recurrence, and metastatic propensity. These results suggest that p16, has novel anticancer properties capable of suppressing cancer cell migration and invasion and pharmacologic restoration of p16 level in stromal fibroblasts may be exploited as therapeutic strategy to prevent nodal or distant metastasis.
