Estrogen receptor α (ERα) activity is regulated by phosphorylation at several sites. Recently several antibodies specific for individual phosphorylated sites within ERα have became available. Such antibodies potentially provide invaluable tools to gain insight into the relevance in vivo of phosphorylated ERα in human breast tumors. However, validation of these antibodies for immunohistochemistry in particular is necessary in the first instance. In this study we have investigated the usefulness of several antibodies generated to specific phosphorylated sites within ERα for immunohistochemistry of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human breast cancer biopsy samples. As well, these data demonstrate for the first time, the detection of multiple phosphorylated ERα forms in breast cancer (P-S104/106-ERα, P-S118-ERα, P-S167-ERα, P-S282-ERα, P-S294-ERα, P-T311-ERα, and P-S559-ERα) suggesting the possibility that profiling of phosphorylated ERα isoforms might be useful in selecting subgroups of breast cancer patients that would benefit from endocrine therapy.
