The role of amplified in breast cancer 1 in breast cancer: A meta-analysis.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: PURPOSE:Amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1) expression is known to be involved in the initiation and progression of malignant breast cancer (BC), but its prognostic role remains uncertain. This meta-analysis assessed reported studies to evaluate this relationship. METHODS:Electronic databases were systematically reviewed to collect eligible studies using pre-established criteria. Hazard ratios (HRs) or odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled to estimate the impact of AIB1 protein expression on overall survival (OS) and clinicopathologic properties of BC cases. RESULTS:Nine eligible studies, including 6774 patients, were finally assessed by the current clinical meta-analysis. AIB1 positivity correlated with reduced OS (pooled HR?=?1.409, 95% CI 1.159-1.714, P?=?.001). AIB1 overexpression also impacted prognosis as shown by univariate (pooled HR?=?1.420, 95% CI 1.154-1.747, P?=?.001) and multivariate (pooled HR?=?1.446, 95% CI 1.099-1.956; P?=?.009) analyses. Notably, subgroup analyses also revealed that AIB1 overexpression was associated with poor OS in some subgroups, such as ER-positive group (pooled HR?=?1.511, 95% CI 1.138-2.006, P?=?.004), ER-positive without tamoxifen administration group (pooled HR?=?2.338, 95% CI 1.489-3.627, P?
