| Abstract | Androgens regulate breast cancer cell proliferation via androgen receptor (AR)-mediated mechanisms. To investigate further the androgen-responsiveness of human breast tumours, we examined the immunohistochemical expression of the AR and two androgen-regulated proteins, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and gross cystic disease fluid protein-15 (GCDFP-15), in 72 primary breast tumours. AR immunoreactivity was present in the nuclei of breast tumour cells and was correlated with oestrogen receptor (ER; P < 0.05) and progesterone receptor (PR; P < 0.01) status. PSA and GCDFP-15 immunoreactivity was present in the cytoplasm of tumour cells but not the adjacent stromal cells. AR-positive cells were present in 85% (61/72) of breast tumours, and 98% (43/44) of PSA-positive and 92% (44/48) of GCDFP-15-positive tumours were also positive for AR. Positive immunoreactivity for both PSA and GCDFP-15 in breast tumours was highly dependent on AR status (odds ratios of 24.0 and 4.5 respectively), but unrelated to age, ER and PR status and axillary lymph node involvement. PSA immunoreactivity was more frequently observed in moderate and well-differentiated tumours and was significantly (P < 0.001) associated with GCDFP-15 immunoreactivity. In conclusion, PSA and GCDFP-15 immunoreactivity was dependent on the presence of AR, but not ER or PR in primary breast tumours. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
