Background: Apoptosis is a genetically regulated cell death involved in the deletion of cells in normal or malignant tissues. Proteins of the Bcl-2 family play a key role in the control of apoptosis and carry out both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic functions. The present study evaluated the prognostic value of Bcl-2 and Bax expression at the invasive front of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), taking clinicopathological findings into account.
Methods: Fifty-six specimens of OSCC were randomly selected, and Bcl-2 and Bax expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded pre-treated specimens at the invasive front of OSCC. Clinicopathological data were gathered and patient survival was analysed.
Results: No significant relationship was found between Bcl-2 or Bax expression and clinical variables. Patients with Bcl-2 expression had a worse prognosis than those without Bcl-2 expression, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. Patients with Bax expression had a significantly better prognosis than those without Bax expression ( P < 0.05). In univariate analyses, T category, mode of cancer invasion and Bax expression showed significant correlations. Multivariate analysis revealed that the mode of cancer invasion and Bax expression were significant and independent variables. Bax expression was found to be the strongest independent prognostic parameter. Patients with negative Bcl-2 expression and positive Bax expression had a significantly better prognosis ( P < 0.005).
Conclusion: We suggest that Bax expression at the invasive front of OSCC is a significant predictor of prognosis and that it is therefore important to investigate the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in this disease. 相似文献

Background: Cachexia contributes significantly to mortality in cancer patients; role of cytokines in inducing cachexia is an emerging view. Leptin, a homologous protein of cytokine family, is found to be decreased in serum with cachexia. The purpose of this study was to compare serum leptin levels of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients with that of control group and correlate it with body mass index.
Method: Serum samples of 31 oral squamous cell carcinoma patients and that of 28 healthy individuals were subjected to evaluation of serum leptin levels (ng/ml) using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Results: A significant reduction in leptin level of oral squamous cell carcinoma patients was observed. Definite correlation between body mass index and serum leptin and also between serum leptin levels of various histopathological variants of oral squamous cell carcinoma was observed.
Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that evaluation of serum leptin level can provide status of cachexia in oral squamous cell carcinoma patients. 相似文献

J Oral Pathol Med (2010) 39 : 667–671 Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral tongue is well known to be an aggressive disease with early metastatic spread in early stage tumors. It is also established that locoregional recurrences are the main causes of treatment failure. Thus, the identification of histopathological factors possessing a predictive value remains important for the management of the disease. The aim of the present study was to define histopathological parameters of the tumor and to compare with the follow‐up and status in primary SCCs of the mobile tongue. Methods: Histopathological parameters such as mitotic index, the presence of vascular emboli or perineural invasion, the thickness of the tumor, the histological grade, the tumor shape as well as chronic stromal inflammatory infiltration were assessed in 52 patients with SCC of the mobile tongue and compared with the follow‐up and status in patients treated initially by surgery. Results: Tumor shape was significantly associated with the presence of perineural invasion. Well‐defined shaped tumors displayed almost half the incidence of perineural invasion when compared with ill‐defined shaped tumors. In addition, the high density of the chronic inflammatory infiltration of the stroma exhibited significant correlation with the survival of the patients. Finally, the intense chronic inflammatory infiltration of the stroma was associated with well‐defined shaped tumors. Conclusion: Tumor shape and stromal chronic inflammatory infiltration should be considered in the planning of the management of patients with SCC of the mobile tongue. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: This study examines the intensity of expression of beta 1, alpha 2, alpha 3, alpha 5, alpha 6 integrin subunits in oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) as opposed to normal oral epithelium, and the intensity of expression and distribution pattern of the above subunits in relation to tumour differentiation grade. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Cryostat sections of 25 cases of oral SCC and 15 cases of normal oral epithelium were studied by immunohistochemistry (APAAP method). RESULTS: The intensity of expression of beta 1, alpha 2 (Pearson chi 2 P < 0.001) and alpha 6 (Test for Trend P < 0.05) integrin subunits was reduced significantly in SCC compared to normal oral epithelium. All integrin subunits were mainly expressed in the peripheral cell layer of tumour islands. No correlation was found between the intensity of integrin expression and the degree of differentiation in SCC. The same applied to the distribution pattern of the integrin subunits. By means of cross examination of all integrins, the loss of intensity of alpha 2 beta 1 integrin expression was found to have the strongest correlation with oral SCC (Ordered Logistic Regression). CONCLUSIONS: Reduced intensity of expression of all subunits was found in oral SCC compared to normal epithelium. Further investigation is needed to determine whether alpha 2 beta 1 integrin expression can be used as a prognostic evaluator for the behaviour of the disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The role of p53 and p63 proteins in the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is still debatable. Our aim here was to investigate the relationship between the immunoexpression of these proteins with some clinicopathologic parameters of prognostic significance in OSCC. METHODS: Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections from 106 patients were used for study together with the following data: primary site, histologic differentiation, recurrences, metastasis, disease-free survival and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: In OSCCs, the positive rate for p63 protein immunoexpression (87.8%) was higher than p53 (52.8%). p53 expression correlated with metastasis. Tumors negative for p53 and with strong intensity for p63 expression had a significantly higher OS. CONCLUSIONS: p53 overexpression is associated with a larger number of metastases and is correlated with a poor outcome as well as decreased intensity in p63 immunoexpression. 相似文献

A grade of extranodal extension (ENE) may advance risk stratification related to survival in patients with metastatic oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). Pathological examination of 174 OCSCC patients who were primarily surgically treated with tumour resection and elective neck dissection was performed. Data of ENE presence, its extent (in millimetres), patients and tumour characteristics were statistically analysed with respect to disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Ninety patients (51.7%) were identified with occult nodal disease, with 41 patients (23.6%) presenting with ENE. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis set the threshold at 1.9 mm as an optimal ENE cut-off regarding both DFS and OS. Patients were divided by extent into minor ENE (≤1.9 mm) and major ENE (>1.9 mm) subgroups. The subgroup with minor ENE had significantly higher DFS and OS rates compared with major ENE. ENE cut-off threshold at 1.9 mm discriminates low and high-risk subgroups of patients with occult OCSCC in terms of DFS and OS. 相似文献

Advances in understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) have resulted in an increasing number of biomarkers that can be used to predict the behaviour of this disease. The authors conducted a literature review of studies examining the role of immunohistochemistry-based protein biomarkers in predicting OSCC outcome. Only articles published in PubMed-indexed journals over the past 5 years were considered. 22 molecular biomarkers were identified and classified into five groups based on their biological functions: cell cycle acceleration and proliferation; tumour suppression and apoptosis; hypoxia; angiogenesis; and cell adhesion and matrix degradation. The cell cycle acceleration and proliferation biomarkers showed the most divergent prognostic findings. Studies on tumour suppression and apoptosis biomarkers were the most prevalent. There were only a few studies examining molecular biomarkers of hypoxia and angiogenesis, and studies examining cell adhesion and matrix degradation biomarkers have shown that this group has the greatest potential for assessing prognostic parameters. Amongst the several proteins analysed, the immunohistochemical expression levels of epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR), p53, and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) have demonstrated the greatest potential for survival prediction in OSCC, but this review demonstrates that their prognostic relevance is debatable and requires further standardisation. 相似文献
