MKK6 expression analysis has been reported in various primary tumors, like esophagus, stomach, colon and prostate cancers but its significance in primary breast tumor patients remains unclear. We investigated the expression of MKK6 in cancer tissues through immunoblotting and immunofluorescence techniques in 25 resected cases of human breast carcinomas. Increased MKK6 protein expression was observed in 56% (14 ? 25) of breast cancer cases. These results indicate that the upregulated expression of MKK6 in cancer tissues has significant role in tumor progression and the clinical prognosis of patients with primary breast carcinoma.
