Abstract

Mammary tumors are the most common neoplasm in female dogs and are considered important health problems. In this study we aimed to investigate Transforming Growth Factor Beta-1 (TGF-β1) expression in canine mammary carcinomas (CMCs) by immunohistochemistry and its relationships with histologic grading, survival rate, and recurrence. Tissues were selected from 35 cases of CMCs and were included in a 2-year follow-up study. Immunohistochemistry for detection of TGF-β1 protein was carried out using Avidin-Biotin Complex (ABC) method, and the immunostained slides were scored according to the distribution and intensity of positive reactions. Results indicated that TGF β-1 expression increased significantly in CMCs in comparison to canine normal mammary gland (P < 0.05), 6/35 (17.14%) of tumor samples showed weak immunoreactivity, 15/35 (42.85%) moderate, and 14/35 (40%) showed strong immunoreactivity for TGF-β1. It is also revealed that TGF β-1 increased expression is in significant relationships with higher histologic grades and shorter survival rate after 2 years but not with tumor recurrence.
