Normal and nonmalignant breast epithelia and stromal elements expressed reduced levels of OPN and TYRP-1 transcripts.

These investigators also found that the presence of OPN on tumor cells is correlated with patient demise [ 25 ] .
Incubation of fibroadenoma and normal breast tissue specimens with the OPN antibody also produced positive staining in the epithelial cells of 53% of nonmalignant cases (five fibroadenomas and three normal breast tissues).
