Expressão da e-caderina e do fator de crescimento do endotélio vascular no carcinoma de células escamosas e no tumor de células basais de cães

Abstract

O carcinoma de células escamosas é uma neoplasia maligna que emerge dos queratinócitos e corresponde a aproximadamente 5% dos tumores cutâneos dos cães. Os tumores de células basais são compostos quase exclusivamente por células basais e apresentam uma incidência de 4 a 12% entre as neoplasias cutâneas caninas. O carcinoma de células escamosas e o tumor de células basais são neoplasias comumente registradas na clínica de pequenos animais. As caderinas compreendem uma classe de moléculas de adesão celular expressas na superfície de todas as camadas epidérmicas. A E-caderina é a principal caderina envolvida na adesão celular epitelial. A redução de sua expressão está envolvida com a progressão de alguns tipos de câncer, principalmente os carcinomas, seu poder metastático, e ainda na definição do prognóstico. Não há muitos estudos na veterinária com relação à expressão dessas moléculas em tumores. O fator de crescimento do endotélio vascular (VEGF) é um potente mitógeno para células endoteliais e sua expressão tem sido relacionada com o aumento da angiogênese tumoral. O VEGF além de estimular a angiogênese, produz colagenase e outras enzimas degradativas que facilitam a saída das células neoplásicas para a circulação, além de estimularem o crescimento das células tumorais. O objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a expressão da E-caderina e do fator de crescimento do endotélio vascular (VEGF) em tecidos caninos histologicamente classificados como carcinoma de células escamosas e tumor de células basais, buscando-se uma correlação com o grau histológico desses tumores. A expressão normal e reduzida da Ecaderina apresentou diferenças significativas comparando-se o tumor de células basais com o carcinoma de células escamosas quando avaliada pelo teste de Fisher...

The squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a malignant epithelial neoplasm of keratinocytes and accounts for about 5% of the canine skin neoplasms The basal cells tumors (BCT) are made up almost entirely of basal cells and accounts for 4 to 12% of the canine skin neoplasms. Squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell tumor are neoplasms commonly seen in the Small Animal Practice. The cadherins are a group of cellular adhesion molecules that are expressed on the surface of all epidermic layer. The Ecadherin is the main cadherin involved in epithelial cellular adhesion; the decrease in its expression is related to the progression of some types of cancer, specially carcinomas, to its metastatic characteristics, and to the prognosis. There are few studies in Veterinary Medicine researching the expression of this molecule in canine tumors. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent mitogen to endothelial cells and its expression has been correlated with increased tumoral angiogenesis. Besides stimulating angiogenesis, VEGF produces colagenase and other enzymes thus helping neoplastic cells scape into the vascular system and stimulating tumoral cell growth. The goal of this study was to evaluate E-cadherin’s and vascular endothelial growth factor expression in canine tissues that were classified as squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell tumor, and to find a correlation with the histological grade of the tumors. Both normal and decreased expression of E-cadherin had significant differences when comparing squamous cell carcinoma to basal cell tumor using the Fisher test (P=0,0039). Also, in some samples the more differentiated neoplastic cells had a higher intensity of color than the less differentiated...(Complete abstract, click electronic access below)
