- Increased expression of MMP-9 and IL-8 are correlated with poor prognosis of Bladder Cancer(2012) REIS, Sabrina Thalita; LEITE, Katia Ramos M.; PIOVESAN, Luis Felipe; PONTES-JUNIOR, Jose; VIANA, Nayara Izabel; ABE, Daniel Kanda; CRIPPA, Alexandre; MOURA, Caio Martins; ADONIAS, Sanarelly Pires; SROUGI, Miguel; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos FranciscoBackground: Extracellular matrix homeostasis is strictly maintained by a coordinated balance between the expression of metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the expression of MMP-9, MMP-2 and its specific inhibitors, are expressed in a reproducible, specific pattern and if the profiles are related to prognosis in Bladder Cancer (BC). Methods: MMP-9, MMP-2 and its specific inhibitors expression levels were analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) in fresh-frozen malignant tissue collected from 40 patients with BC submitted to transurethral resection of bladder. The control group consisted of normal bladder tissue from five patients who had undergone retropubic prostatectomy to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. Results: MMP-9 was overexpressed in 59.0 % of patients, and MMP-2, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, MMP-14, RECK and IL-8 was underexpressed in most of the patients. Regarding prognostic parameters we observed that high-grade tumors exhibited significantly higher levels of MMP-9 and IL-8 (p = 0.012, p = 0.003). Invasive tumors (pT1-pT2) had higher expression levels of MMP-9 than superficial tumors (pTa) (p = 0.026). The same was noted for IL-8 that was more expressed by invasive tumors (p = 0.015, p = 0.048). Most importantly tumor recurrence was related with higher levels of both MMP-9 (p = 0.003) and IL-8 (p = 0.005). Conclusion: We have demonstrated that the overexpression of MMP-9 and higher expression of IL-8 are related to unfavorable prognostic factors of urothelial bladder cancer and tumor recurrence and may be useful in the follow up of the patients.
- Prostate biopsy in patients with long-term use of indwelling bladder catheter: What is the rationale?(2012) ANTUNES, Alberto A.; BARBOSA, Joao Arthur B. A.; REIS, Sabrina T.; GUARIERO, Mary S.; FUKUSHIMA, Julia T.; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; FREIRE, Geraldo de C.; LUCON, Antonio M.; LEITE, Katia R.; SROUGI, MiguelObjective: Acute urinary retention (AUR) is expected to occur in 2% to 39% men with benign prostatic hyperplasia. To date, no study has elucidated the effect of long-term use of indwelling bladder catheter on serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and on the incidence of prostate cancer (CaP). The aim of the present study is to analyze the incidence of CaP in patients with long-term use of indwelling bladder catheter and determine some practice patterns on this issue. Materials and methods: The study comprised a retrospective analysis of data from 1,651 patients who had undergone transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy from July 2004 to June 2009. Among these patients, 198 (12%) were using an indwelling bladder catheter during the biopsy for at least 1 month. The incidence of CaP was recorded according to total PSA levels. Other variables such patient age, free/total PSA rate, PSA density, prostate volume, and duration of catheter use was also analyzed. Men with a digital rectal examination suspicious for cancer were not considered for analysis. Results: Median patient age was 71 years (37 to 89 years). Overall, 25% of patients presented a CaP diagnosis. CaP incidence according to the PSA levels was 0%, 18.9%, 24.5%, and 40.6% for patients with PSA <= 4.0, 4.1-10.0, 10.1-20.0, and >20.0 ng/ml, respectively. When prostate volume was analyzed together, we demonstrated that only 1 (2.4%) patient with PSA below 10.0 ng/ml and prostate volume >60 g had CaP. Median total PSA, PSA density, and prostate volume were statistically different between patients with and without CaP. Conclusions: Prostate biopsy should not be indicated for all patients with diagnosis of BPH and AUR who present an elevated PSA level. Patients with PSA below 10.0 ng/ml, and prostate volume >60 g should only undergo biopsy in selected cases. Patients with PSA >20.0 ng/ml and a prostate volume <= 60 g are at higher risk of CaP diagnosis.
article 13 Citação(ões) na Scopus Socioeconomic status is an independent predictor of biochemical recurrence among patients with prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy(2011) SROUGI, Victor; ANTUNES, Alberto A.; REIS, Sabrina T.; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; NESRALLAH, Adriano J.; LEITE, Ktia R. M.; SROUGI, MiguelPurpose: Socioeconomic status (SES) may influence cancer characteristics and behavior in several aspects. We analyzed PCa characteristics and behavior among low income uninsured men, and compare them to high income patients with health insurance in a developing country. Materials and Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed on 934 patients with clinically localized PCa who underwent radical prostatectomy between March, 1999 and July, 2009. Patients were divided in two groups, according to their SES. In group 1 (n=380), all had low income, low educational levels and couldn't afford medical insurance. In group 2 (n=554), all had higher income, higher education and had medical insurance. Results: Patients from group 1 were older, had higher Gleason scores, higher rates of seminal vesicle and bladder neck involvement. The Kaplan Meier disease-free survival curve demonstrated that after a follow-up of four years, about 50% of uninsured patients had biochemical recurrence, versus 21% of insured patients (Log rank test: p < 0.001). A multivariate Cox regression analysis for the risk of disease recurrence demonstrated that only PSA levels, Gleason score, seminal vesicle involvement and SES were statistically significant variables. Patients with a low SES presented 1.8 times the risk of recurrence as compared to patients with a high SES. Conclusions: Patients with low SES were older, presented more aggressive PCa characteristics and a high rate of disease recurrence. A low SES constituted an independent predictor for disease recurrence.bookPart Disfunção sexual masculina(2013) CURY, José; SROUGI, Miguel; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos FranciscobookPart Hiperplasia benigna da próstata(2013) SROUGI, Miguel; ANTUNES, Alberto Azoubel; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos- Biochemical recurrence rates are similar for pT2-positive surgical margins and pT3a(2014) LEITE, Katia R. M.; HARTMANN, Carolina; REIS, Sabrina T.; VIANA, Nayara; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; ST'ANNA, Alexandre C.; NESRALLAH, Adriano; NESRALLAH, Luciano; ANTUNES, Alberto A.; CAMARA-LOPES, Luiz H.; SROUGI, MiguelObjective: Histological details of positive surgical margins in radical prostatectomy specimens have been related to outcome after surgery in rare studies recently published. Our objective is to assess whether the status of surgical margins, the extent and the Gleason score of positive margins, and the extent of the extraprostatic extension are predictive of biochemical recurrence post-radical prostatectomy. Materials and Methods: Three hundred sixty-five radical prostatectomy specimens were analyzed. The length of the positive surgical margin and extraprostatic extension and the Gleason score of the margin were recorded. Statistical analyses examined the predictive value of these variables for biochemical recurrence. Results: 236 patients were stage pT2R0, 58 pT2R1, 25 pT3R0 and 46 pT3R1. Biochemical recurrence occurred in 11%, 31%, 20% and 45.7% of pT2R0, pT2R1, pT3R0 and pT3R1, respectively. The extent of the positive surgical margins and the Gleason score of the positive surgical margins were not associated with biochemical recurrence in univariate analysis in a mean follow up period of 35.9 months. In multivariate analyses, only the status of the surgical margins and the global Gleason score were associated with biochemical recurrence, with a risk of recurrence of 3.1 for positive surgical margins and of 3.8 for a Gleason score > 7. Conclusion: Positive surgical margin and the global Gleason score are significant risk factors for biochemical recurrence post-radical prostatectomy, regardless of the extent of the surgical margin, the extent of the extraprostatic extension, or the local Gleason score of the positive surgical margin or extraprostatic tissue. pT2R1 disease behaves as pT3R0 and should be treated similarly.
- Curcumin, but not Prima-1, decreased tumor cell proliferation in the syngeneic murine orthotopic bladder tumor model(2011) WATANABE, Fabio T.; CHADE, Daher C.; REIS, Sabrina T.; PIANTINO, Camila; OGLIO, Marcos Francisco Dall'; SROUGI, Miguel; LEITE, Katia R. M.OBJECTIVE: Cigarette smoking is the main risk factor for bladder cancer development. Among the mediators of this effect of smoking is nuclear factor-kappa B. Curcumin suppresses cellular transformation by downregulating the activity of nuclear factor-kappa B. Prima-1 is a compound that induces apoptosis in human tumor cells, restoring the function of mutant p53. Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of curcumin and prima-1 in an animal model of bladder cancer. METHODS: Tumor implantation was achieved in six-to eight-week-old female C57BL/6 mice by introducing MB49 bladder cancer cells into the bladder. Intravesical treatment with curcumin and Prima-1 was performed on days 2, 6, 10, and 14. On day 15, the animals were sacrificed. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the expression of cyclin D1, Cox-2, and p21. Cell proliferation was examined using PCNA. RESULTS: Animals treated with curcumin exhibited a higher degree of necrosis than animals in other groups. Immunohistochemistry showed reduced expression of cyclin D1 in the curcumin-treated group. All of the cells in mice treated with curcumin were p21 positive, suggesting that the p53 pathway is induced by this compound. Prima-1 did not induce any change in tumor size, necrosis, cell proliferation, or the expression of proteins related to the p53 pathway in this animal model. CONCLUSION: Curcumin showed activity in this animal bladder cancer model and probably acted via the regulation of nuclear factor-kappa B and p53. Therefore, curcumin is a good choice for the use in clinical trials to treat superficial bladder cancer as an alternative to bacillus Calmette-Guerin. In contrast, Prima-1 does not seem to have an effect on bladder cancer.
- INITIAL EXPERIENCE WITH ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND-GUIDED FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION OF RENAL MASSES: indications, applications and limitations(2014) MOURA, Renata Nobre; LOPES, Roberto Iglesias; SROUGI, Miguel; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos Francisco; SAKAI, Paulo; ARTIFON, Everson L AContext Tissue sampling of renal masses is traditionally performed via the percutaneous approach or laparoscopicaly. The utility of endoscopic ultrasound to biopsy renal lesions it remains unclear and few cases have been reported. Objectives To evaluate the feasibility and outcome of endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration of renal tumors. Methods Consecutive subjects undergoing attempted endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration of a kidney mass after evaluation with computerized tomography or magnetic resonance. Results Ten procedures were performed in nine male patients (median age 54.7 years) on the right (n = 4) and left kidney (n = 4) and bilaterally (n = 1). Kidney masses (median diameter 55 mm ; range 13-160 mm) were located in the upper pole (n = 3), the lower pole (n = 2) and the mesorenal region (n = 3). In two cases, the mass involved more than one kidney region. Surgical resection confirmed renal cell carcinoma in six patients in whom pre-operative endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration demonstrated renal cell carcinoma. No complications were reported. Conclusions Endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration appears as a safe and feasible procedure with good results and minimal morbidity.
- GREB1 tissue expression is associated with organ-confined prostate cancer(2012) ANTUNES, Alberto A.; LEITE, Katia R.; REIS, Sabrina T.; SOUSA-CANAVEZ, Juliana M.; CAMARA-LOPES, Luiz H.; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos F.; SROUGI, MiguelObjective: By reason of its heterogeneous behavior, it is difficult to determine the prognosis of many prostate cancer cases. Patients with the same clinicopathologic conditions may present varying clinical findings and rates of progression. We determined the role of new genes as potential molecular markers for prostate cancer prognosis. Materials and methods: We performed a microarray analysis of two pools of patients with prostate cancer divided according to their clinicopathologic characteristics. After that, we validated these results by testing the genes with most different expressions between the two pools using the quantitative real time polymerase chain reaction method. We analyzed gene expression in 33 patients with localized prostate cancer according to prostate specific antigen (PSA), pathologic stage, Gleason score, and biochemical recurrence. For statistical analysis we used the Mann-Whitney Test. Results: The microarray analysis revealed that 4,147 genes presented a different expression between the two pools. Among them, 3 genes, TMEFF2, GREB1, and THIL,, were at least 13-times overexpressed, and 1 gene, IGH3, which was at least 5times under-expressed in pool 1 (good prognosis) compared with pool 2 (bad prognosis), were selected for analysis. After the validation tests, GREB1 was significantly more overexpressed among patients with stage T2 compared with T3 (P = 0.020). The expressions of other 3 genes did not present significant differences according to the clinicopatholoOcal variables. Conclusions: Tissue expression of GREB1 is associated with organ-confined prostate cancer and may constitute a gene associated with a favorable prognosis.
- External Validation of a Brazilian Predictive Nomogram for Pathologic Outcomes Following Radical Prostatectomy in Tertiary Teaching Institutions: the USP Nomograms(2014) BASTIAN JUNIOR, Aguinel Jose; DALL'OGLIO, Marcos Francisco; CRIPPA, Alexandre; OLIVEIRA FILHO, Getulio Rodrigues de; PIOVESAN, Luis Felipe; SILVA, Ricardo Kupka da; LEITE, Katia R. M.; SROUGI, MiguelPurposes: (a) To externally validate the Crippa and colleagues' nomograms combining PSA, percentage of positive biopsy cores (PPBC) and biopsy Gleason score to predict organ-confined disease (OCD) in a contemporary sample of patients treated at a tertiary teaching institution. (b) To adjust such variables, resulting in predictive nomograms for OCD and seminal vesicle invasion (SVI): the USP nomograms. Materials and Methods: The accuracy of Crippa and colleagues' nomograms for OCD prediction was examined in 1002 men submitted to radical prostatectomy between 2005 and 2010 at the University of Sao Paulo (USP). ROC-derived area under the curve (AUC) and Brier scores were used to assess the discriminant properties of nomograms for OCD. Nomograms performance was explored graphically with LOESS smoothing plots. Furthermore, univariate analysis and logistic regression models targeted OCD and SVI. Variables consisted of PSA, PPBC, biopsy Gleason score and clinical stage. The resulted predictive nomograms for OCD and SVI were internally validated with bootstrapping and the same abovementioned procedures. Results: Crippa and colleagues' nomograms for OCD showed ROC AUC = 0.68 (CI: 0.65-0.70), Brier score = 0.17 and overestimation in LOESS plots. USP nomograms for OCD and SVI showed ROC AUC of 0.73 (CI: 0.70-0.76) and 0.77 (CI: 0.73-0.79), respectively, and Brier scores of 0.16 and 0.08, respectively. The LOESS plots showed excellent calibration for OCD and underestimation for SVI. Conclusions: Crippa and colleagues' nomograms showed moderate discrimination and considerable OCD overestimation. USP nomograms showed good discrimination for OCD and SVI, as well as excellent calibration for OCD and SVI underestimation.
