Forkhead Box I1 in Breast Carcinoma as a Potent Prognostic Factor.

ABSTRACT: Forkhead box (FOX) proteins are family of transcriptional factors and regulate cell growth and differentiation as well as embryogenesis and longevity. Previous studies have demonstrated that several FOX members regulate growth or metastasis of breast carcinoma, but clinical significance of total FOX members remains unclear. We first examined associations between expression of 40 FOX genes and TNM status of 19 breast carcinoma using microarray data. Subsequently, we immunolocalized FOXI1 in 140 breast carcinomas and evaluated its clinicopathological significance. In the microarray analysis, we newly identified that gene expression of FOXI1 was most pronouncedly linked to metastasis of the breast carcinoma among the FOX members examined. However, clinicopathological significance of FOXI1 has
