The study found that circulating levels of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in breast cancer patients are significantly associated with recurrence-risk, while the correlation with IGFBP-7 levels is weaker. There is a significant interaction between IGFBP-7 levels and recurrence-risk in patients with IGF-IRm positivity.
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) and its binding proteins (BPs) have been associated with breast cancer risk, especially high IGF-I concentrations and the biologically active fraction estimated as the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 molar ratio. The relation of circulating IGF-I and IGFBP-3 concentrations with risk of breast cancer recurrence has been less documented. In addition a new member to a sub-group of the IGFBP-superfamily was recently identified, the low affinity IGFBP-7. To date, the role of systemic IGFBP-7 in breast cancer progression has not been investigated. Our purpose was to establish whether circulating IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and IGFBP-7 levels are related to recurrence-risk in breast cancer. A case-control study was nested within the population-based BCBlood cohort of 853 breast cancer patients diagnosed 2002-2010 in Sweden and followed through 2012. In total, 95 patients with recurrence and 170 controls were matched on age and tumor characteristics. Plasma IGF analytes and tumor membrane IGF-I receptor (IGF-IRm) positivity were analyzed and recurrence-risk was evaluated with conditional logistic regression. Preoperative tertiles of IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were both positively associated with recurrence-risk, but not IGFBP-7. The trend was of borderline significance for IGF-I, T1:REF, T2 OR:1.6, T3 OR: 2.2 adjusted P (trend)=0.057 and significant for IGFBP-3 T1:REF, T2 OR:1.2, T3 OR: 2.1 adjusted P (trend)=0.042. The models were adjusted for age, anthropometric factors, smoking, and treatments. There was a significant interaction between IGFBP-7 and IGF-IRm positivity on recurrence, where the highest IGFBP-7 highest IGFBP-7 tertile conferred increased recurrence-risk in patients with IGF-IRm positive tumors but not in those with IGF-IRm negative tumors (P (interaction)=0.024). By the 1-year visit, age-adjusted IGF-I levels were reduced by 17% while IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-7 were stable. IGF-I levels were significantly reduced by radiotherapy in all patients and by tamoxifen in patients with ER+ tumors. Postoperative changes >10% (n=208) in IGF-I, IGFBP-3, IGFBP-7, or the IGF-I/IGFBP-3 ratio did not predict recurrence after adjustment for preoperative levels, age, anthropometric factors, smoking, and treatments. In conclusion, this study suggests that preoperative IGF-I and IGFBP-3 levels, but not postoperative changes, might provide independent prognostic information and influence breast cancer recurrence. The role of IGFBP-7 in breast cancer merits further study.
