PERTSCHUK, D.O.* ERIC GAETJENS, Ph.D. ANNE C. CARTER, M.D., DAVID J. BRIGATI, M.D. DONG S. KIM, M.D., and ELLIS H. TOBIN, B.S Departments o f Pathology and Medicine, Division o f Endocrinology, State University o f New York, Downstate Medical Center, Brooklyn, NY and Kings County Hospital Center, Brooklyn, NY ABSTRACT Immunofluorescence and a new histochemical technique were employed to assay 226 breast cancer specimens for estrogen receptor. Results showed an overall correlation of 91 percent w hen com pared to those of biochemical assays. The histochemical technique is rapid, easy to perform and reveals the same param eters as does immunofluorescence without the need for antiserum. Tumor cell receptor heterogeneity and location of receptor in cytoplasm or nucleus is readily defined by both methods. These histologic tests should prove to be useful in extending the availability of estrogen receptor analysis to all patients w ith breast cancer. Several methods have been described for the detection and study of estrogen receptor (ER) in morphologically intact tissue. F lu o rescein ated estradiol was used to localize ER in rabbit breast and uterine cells2,4 and later to identify ER in human mammary cancer and normal endom etrium.1 Im m unofluorescence (IF) techniques have b een quite successful. * Supported in part by U.S.P.H.S.

The problem is com pounded by w ide variations in the m olar ratio of fluorescein to protein, or peroxidase to protein, in the labeled immunoglobulin required to make the receptor visible. Variables of this nature make attempts at standardization o f such m ethods im possible. A different approach for the detection of ER was recently reported3 whereby a conjugate of E 2, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), was used as the binding hormone. This molecule was composed of 11 moles of FITC and 24 moles of E 2 per mole of BSA, with E 2 linked at position 6. However, the observed results did not correlate w ith those of biochem ical assay. A d iffe re n t co n ju g ate has b een em ployed by us composed of five moles of FITC and four moles of E 2 per mole of BSA in which E 2 was linked at position 17. Results of ER assay using this ligand were compared to those obtained by the dextran-coated charcoal assay (DCC).14 In this paper, the IF and histochemical m ethods for d etection of ER are com pared. Materials and M ethods * Ayerst Laboratories, Inc., New York, NY. Biopsy specim ens were obtained from 226 women with breast cancer at the time of surgery and frozen in liquid nitrogen as soon as possible. Specim ens w ere divided into two portions, one half for biochemical assay and the other for IF or histochem ical analysis. For IF, the binding hormone was used in a polym erized, w ater soluble state (polyestradiol phosphate [PEP]).* Frozen tissue sections, four microns thick were incubated in PEP for one hour, fixed in paraform aldehyde and then exposed to sheep anti-estradiol serum followed by FIT C-labeled anti-sheep im m unoglobulins.f M ultiple controls at each step of the procedure w ere necessary.12,15 For the histochem ical technique, frozen sections of sim ilar thickness w ere incubated w ith 47 to 94 pm oles FITC- BSA-E2 in phosphate buffered saline containing 10 percent ethanol. After two hours, the tissue was fixed in acetoneethanol and triple w ashed in buffer.14 T he histochem ical m ethod required few controls. Parallel sections w ere exp o sed to th e sam e co n cen tratio n s of FITC-BSA-E2 plus 50 to 500 fold excess m olar concentrations of diethylstilbesterol (DES), the antiestrogen CI-628J: and unlabeled E 2 for competitive binding studies. A nother section was incubated w ith FITC-BSA w hich had not been conjugated to E 2. Processed slides were m ounted in buffered gly cero l and exam ined by u l traviolet (UV) microscopy. Hematoxylin and eosin stained sections w ere examined concurrently. The presence of endogeneous, in vivo bound E 2 was determ ined by indirect IF on pre-fixed tissue sections for both assay systems. Specim ens w ere analyzed for the following features: (1) estim ated proportion of epithelium to stroma; (2) presence of viable tum or cells; (3) estim ated percentages of positive and negative malignant cells; (4) fluorescent intensity of positive cells; (5) cytoplasmic or nuclear location of fluorescence; and (6) degree of successful com petition of DES, CI-628 and unlabeled E 2. Specim ens were recorded as positive for ER w hen 10 percent or more of viable tum or cells exhibited fluorescence yet showed no significant fluorescence after in cu b a tio n w ith FITC-BSA, b u t exh ib ite d a significant dim inution of intensity after exposure to com petitors.

3 ER IN BREAST CANCER BY HISTOCHEMISTRY 221 specim ens w ere processed in parallel w ith each group of tumors assayed. Results U sing e ith e r IF or h isto ch em ical technique, tum or cell heterogeneity of ER was a prom inent feature of the majority of specimens. This was evidenced by cellular gradations of staining intensity varying from weak to brilliant. Brightness of fluorescence was noticeably greater w ith the histochem ical m ethod, preparations were cleaner and easier to interpret and nuclear staining, where present, was more pronounced than with IF. ER was occasionally apparent in norm al structures w ith both tech n iq u es. These included non-neoplastic mammary tissue, epiderm is and hair follicles. Visualization of tum or cells w ithin the dermis was superior with the histochemical procedure as binding to collagen was m inim al. N ecrotic cells often show ed non-specific staining by IF but not with FITC-BSA-E2. Non-specific binding of FITC-BSA was not encountered. H istologic diagnoses of the tum ors studied are shown in table I. Comparison of results of biochemical and histologic analyses are summarized in tables II and III. Correlation of results was slighty but not significantly better by the histochem ical m ethod (92 percent) than with IF (89 percent). The overall correlation rate was 91 percent. Comparison of results of histologic and biochemical ER assay was possible for 207 breast cancers. O f these, 129 were positive for ER and 59 were negative for ER by all methods. However, included in this group were two specim ens with ER only in normal anatomical structures, and 17 which were either entirely necrotic or lacked id entifiable tum or cells. Such specim ens may be sources o f false positive and false negative biochem ical assay results but may be identified as being of no value for assay by either histologic m ethod.

Four specim ens did not contain sufficient solubilized cytosol protein for DCC. All were histologically positive for ER. Two others, also positive for ER by histology, thaw ed in transit for biochem i cal assay. E leven tum ors show ed a predominance of nuclear ER histologically but were assayed biochemically by DCC which will not detect nuclear ER. In two specim ens, the tissue subm itted for histology was necrotic while the specimen assayed by DCC was positive.

Discussion Currently, biochem ical E R assays are li m i t e d in p e r fo rm a n c e to co m m e rc ia l laboratories and major m edical centers b ecause o f the sophisticated m eth o d o l ogy involved. Histologic tech n iq u e s, on the o th e r hand, are m uch less costly and r e q u ir e o nly t h e e q u i p m e n t n o rm a lly p r e s e n t in m o s t s u r g i c a l p a t h o l o g y laboratories. Results could b e in te rp re te d by hospital b ase d pathologists w ith very little extra training. C om pariso n of I F an d histochem ical m eth ods for assay of E R shows that there is little difference e ith e r in accuracy or in the param eters w h ich may b e analyzed. H ow ever, I F is subject to the vagaries d is c u s s e d previously, th e p ro c e d u re is m ore lengthy and, as a co n se q u en ce, tis sue sections m ay b ec o m e folded, torn or lost.

T h e h isto c h e m ic a l t e c h n i q u e is less ex p e n siv e than IF, p ro c essin g is co m p lete in less than th ree hours and tissue sections are not traum atized. T h e c h e m i cals r e q u ir e d for reag ent preparatio n are com m ercially available and th e materials can be readily stan d ard iz ed an d could be m an ufactured in bulk.
