Abstract


The composition of the tumour microenvironment is important for regulation of metastasis in breast cancer, and targeting immune inhibitory receptors has recently become a focus for activating anti-tumour immune responses in the host. In the EMT6 mouse breast cancer model, expression of the immunoregulatory molecule CD200 on the surface of a subpopulation of cancer cells results in a suppression of anti-tumour immunity and increased metastasis to local draining lymph nodes (DLN). CD200 can also be released by host or tumour cells into the circulation in a soluble form.

In this study, we investigated the levels of sCD200 in human breast cancer patient plasma using an ELISA. We correlated our findings with clinical characteristics of breast cancer and with cell surface CD200 expression by the cells in the breast tumor, as detected by qPCR and immunostaining. Our data support the hypothesis that CD200 may be important in the progression of breast cancer.
