We evaluated the correlation of tCho and β-catenin concentrations were correlated with molecular biomarkers (ER, PR and Her2neu) in breast cancer patients. The nuclear β-catenin expression was significantly higher compared to cytosolic expression. A positive correlation between tCho and β-catenin (cytosolic and nuclear fractions) concentrations was seen. The PR- tumors had significantly higher cytosolic β-catenin compared to PR+ tumors. This may be because progesterone acts as an inhibitor of Wnt pathway and thus its absence may lead to increased cytosolic β-catenin in PR- tumors. Results demonstrated role of tCho, β-catenin and progesterone in breast cancer progression.
