  • By applying in situ hybridization, Tuck and colleagues identified breast tumor cells as a source of OPN [ 13 ] . Using a semiquantitative scoring system to evaluate immunohistochemical staining, these investigators found a correlation between OPN positivity (defined as >33% of tumor cells in a section staining for OPN) in lymph node-negative primary breast carcinomas and patient survival, suggesting that tumor cells with elevated OPN levels may behave differently with regard to disease progression [ 13 ] . Another recent study showed immunohistochemically that while OPN protein is expressed weakly in normal breast tissue, OPN is expressed strongly (>50% tumor cell staining) in pregnant/lactating tissue and in the majority (66%) of breast carcinomas.
