The expression of estrogen receptor-alpha (ER-α) and related genes has emerged as one of the major determinants of molecular classification of invasive breast cancers. However, patterns of expression of a second estrogen receptor, estrogen receptor-beta (ER-β), have not been previously evaluated in a large population-based study. Therefore, we examined ER-β expression in a large population of women with breast cancer to assess its relationship to molecular categories of invasive breast cancer. We constructed tissue microarrays from paraffin blocks of 3,093 breast cancers that developed in women enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study. Tissue microarray sections were immunostained for ER-α, progesterone receptor (PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), cytokeratin 5/6 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Cancers were categorized as luminal A (ER-α+ and/or PR+ and HER2−); luminal B (ER-α+ and/or PR+ and HER2+); HER2 (ER-α− and PR− and HER2+); and basal-like (ER-α−, PR−, HER2− and EGFR or cytokeratin 5/6+). Tissue microarray sections were also immunostained with a monoclonal antibody to ER-β (ER-β1, clone PPG5/1/0, Serotec). The relationship between expression of ER-β to molecular class of invasive breast cancer was analyzed. Overall, 68% of the invasive breast carcinomas were ER-β positive. Expression of ER-β was significantly associated with expression of ER-α (p<0.0001) and PR (p<0.0001), and was inversely related to expression of HER2 (p=0.004), CK5/6 (p=0.02) and EGFR (p=0.006). Among 2,170 invasive cancers with complete immunophenotypic data, 73% were luminal A, 5% luminal B, 6 % HER2 and 11% basal-like. ER-β expression was significantly related to molecular category (p<0.0001) and was more common in luminal A (72% of cases) and B (68% of cases) than in HER2 or basal-like types. However, despite their being defined by the absence of ER-α expression, 55% of HER2-type and 60% of basal-like cancers showed expression of ER-β. The role of ER-β in the development and progression of invasive breast cancers defined by lack of expression of ER-α merits further investigation.
