Hematopoietic progenitor kinase 1 (HPK1) belongs to the mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase kinase (MAP4K) family of serine/threonine kinases, which have been associated with the incidence and progression of a variety of gastrointestinal malignant tumors in humans. However, the potential association between HPK1 expression and breast cancer, particularly invasive ductal carcinoma-not otherwise specified (IDC-NOS) development, has not yet been examined. To address this gap, the present study aimed to evaluate HPK1 expression in IDC-NOS samples and to determine a relationship with clinical prognostic indicators, such as the expression levels of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), as well as overall survival of the patients with IDC-NOS. HPK1 mRNA and protein expression in samples from 148 patients with IDC-NOS were detected using immunohistochemistry, western blotting and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction. A total of 54 out of 148 (36.5%) samples were HPK1-positive, and 100 out of 148 (67.6%) were ER-positive. Of the latter, 28% (28/100) were HPK1-positive, and a significant negative association of HPK1 expression with ER positivity was observed (P=0.002; r=−0.254). In addition, 43.2% (64/148) and 32.4% (48/100) of IDC-NOS tissues were PR- or HER2-positive, respectively; however, neither indicator correlated with HPK1 (P=0.109 and P=0.558, respectively). HPK1 expression, axillary lymph node metastasis and tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage were identified as independent factors of overall survival (OS) in the ER-positive group (P<0.05), and HPK1 positivity was associated with increased OS (P=0.048). HPK1 mRNA levels did not differ between IDC-NOS and normal adjacent breast tissues, whereas HPK1 protein levels were lower in IDC-NOS (P<0.05). These results suggested that HPK1 protein may be a potentially effective IDC-NOS therapeutic target.
