This study investigated the immunohistochemical expression of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in invasive breast cancer tissues and found that SASP positivity is related to tumor microenvironments and clinicopathological characteristics of breast cancer. The prognostic significance of SASP depends on the molecular subtype of breast cancer patients.
This study was undertaken to investigate immunohistochemical expression of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) in invasive breast cancer (IBC) tissues and to determine relationships between SASP positivity and tumor microenvironments and the clinicopathological characteristics of IBC. Immunohistochemistry for senescence markers, that is, high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1), p16, p15, and decoy receptor 2 (DCR2), was performed in tissue microarrays of 1140 IBC samples. Cases positive for at least one of these four markers were considered SASP-positive. Relations between SASP and tumor characteristics, including immune microenvironments (stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes [sTILs] density and numbers of intraepithelial CD103-positive [iCD103 + ] lymphocytes) and clinical outcomes were retrospectively evaluated. HMGB1, p16, p15, or DCR2 was positive in 6.7%, 26.6%, 21.1%, and 26.5%, respectively, of the 1,140 cases. Six hundred and five (53.1%) cases were SASP positive, and SASP positivity was significantly associated with histologic grade 3, high-sTIL and iCD103 + lymphocyte counts, absence of ER or PR, and a high Ki-67 index. Although SASP did not predict breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) or disease-free survival (DFS) in the entire cohort, SASP positivity in luminal A IBC was associated with poor BCSS and DFS. However, patients with SASP-positive TNBC showed better survival than those with SASP-negative TNBC. In multivariate analysis, SASP positivity was an independent prognostic factor in both luminal A IBC and TNBC, although the effect on prognosis was the opposite. In conclusion, SASP would be involved in the modulation of immune microenvironments and tumor progression in IBC, and its prognostic significance depends on molecular subtype.
