- Immunostaining study of cytokeratins in human hair follicle development(2020) SILVA, Laura Maria Andrade; HSIEH, Ricardo; LOURENCO, Silvia Vanessa; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; PAIVA, Geise Rezende; FERNANDES, Juliana DumetBackground: The hair follicle is a unique structure, one of the most dynamic structures in mammalians, which can reproduce in every new cycle all the mechanism involved in its fetal development. Although a lot of research has been made about the human hair follicle much less has been discovered about the importance of the cytokeratins (CKs) in its development. Objective: Study the immunohistochemical pattern of epithelial CKs during human hair follicle development. Methods: We performed an immunohistochemical study using fresh post-mortem skin biopsies of human fetuses between 4 and 25 weeks of gestational age to study the expression of cytokeratins (CKs): CK1, CK10, CK13, CK14, CK16 and CK20 during human hair follicle fetal development. Study limitations: Restrospective study with a good number of makers but with a small population. Results/conclusion: We found that, the CKs were expressed in an intermediate time during follicular development. The epithelial CKs (CK1, CK14, CK10, CK13) and the epithelial CKs witha proliferative character such as CK16 were expressed first, as markers of cellular maturation and follicular keratinization. At a later phase, CK20 was expressed in more developed primitive hair follicles as previously discussed in literature. (C) 2020 Sociedade Brasileira de Dermatologia.
- Epithelial-mesenchymal transition related to bone invasion in oral squamous cell carcinoma(2022) VANINI, Jaqueline Vaz; KOYAMA, Leonardo Kenji Sakaue; MATOS, Leandro Luongo de; FIGUEREDO JUNIOR, Jose Martins; CERNEA, Claudio Roberto; NAGANO, Cibele Pidorodeski; COUTINHO-CAMILLO, Claudia Malheiros; HSIEH, Ricardo; LOURENCO, Silvia VanessaIntroduction: Bone invasion is an important prognostic factor in oral squamous cell carcinoma, leading to a lower survival rate and the use of aggressive treatment approaches. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is possibly involved in this process, because it is often related to mechanisms of cell motility and invasiveness. This study examined whether a panel of epithelial-mesenchymal markers are present in cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma with bone invasion and whether these proteins have any relationship with patients' clinical-pathological parameters and prognostic factors. Methods: Immunohistochemical analysis of E-cadherin, twist, vimentin, TGF beta 1, and periostin was performed in paraffin-embedded samples of 62 oral squamous cell carcinoma cases. Results: The analysis revealed that most cases (66%) presented with a dominant tumor infiltrative pattern in bone tissue, associated with lower survival rates, when compared with cases with a dominant erosive invasion pattern (P = 0.048). Twenty-seven cases (43%) expressed markers that were compatible with total or partial EMT at the tumor-bone interface. There was no association between evidence of total or partial EMT and other demographic or prognostic features. E-cadherin-positive cases were associated with tobacco smoking (P = 0.022); vimentin-positive cases correlated with tumors under 4 cm (P = 0.043). Twistexpression was observed in tumors with a dominant infiltrative pattern (P = 0.041) and was associated with the absence of periostin (P = 0.031). Conclusion: We observed evidence of total or partial EMT in oral squamous cell carcinoma bone invasion. The transcription factor twist appears to be involved in bone invasion and disease progression.
