As caderinas compreendem uma classe de moléculas de adesão celular expressa 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 na progressão de alguns tipos de câncer, no potencial metastático e ainda na definição do prognóstico, principalmente nos carcinomas. O carcinoma de células escamosas e o tumor de células basais são neoplasias cutâneas malignas que afetam os cães. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a expressão da E-caderina no carcinoma de células escamosas (n=20) e no tumor de células basais (n=15), buscando-se relacionar sua expressão ao comportamento biológico desses tumores. Os carcinomas de células escamosas apresentaram significativa redução da expressão da molécula comparado aos tumores de células basais, quando avaliado pelo teste de Fisher (P=0,0039). Também foi observado que células neoplásicas mais diferenciadas apresentaram coloração mais intensa que as menos diferenciadas. Em conclusão, sugere-se que a expressão reduzida da E-caderina em tumores cutâneos pode indicar maior poder infiltrativo e consequentemente mau prognóstico na espécie canina.

Entre as neoplasias malignas que ocorrem na boca, 95% são representadas pelo carcinoma epidermóide de boca (ceb). no brasil, as estimativas para o ano de 2014, segundo o inca, apontam mais de 15.290 novos casos. esses dados mostram que o ceb representa um problema de saúde pública em razão de a morbidade afastar, na maioria dos casos, grande número de cidadãos do mercado de trabalho, além de onerar os custos com a saúde no estado, fruto dos dias de internação e do tratamento aplicado. a patogênese do ceb está relacionada a fatores genéticos além de agentes químicos, como o consumo de tabaco e álcool, físicos e biológicos, considerados carcinogênicos. o fator de transcrição twist foi recentemente apontado como um importante regulador da tem durante a progressão tumoral e metástase e vem se tornando um importante marcador diagnóstico e prognóstico para pacientes devido ao fato de sua sobre-regulação positiva e metilação do gene estarem sendo implicados em vários tipos de câncer. apesar de muitos estudos fornecerem importantes insights sobre a compreensão da biologia dos tumores malignos bem como dos genes envolvidos na tem, os mecanismos de twist na tumorigênese e na transição epitelial-mesenquimal do carcinoma epidermóide bucal ainda precisam ser elucidados. neste estudo nós investigamos o padrão de expressão da proteína twist através da técnica de imuno-histoquímica em 59 amostras carcinoma epidermóide bucal (ceb) provenientes de pacientes usuários do sistema único de saúde do estado do pará e avaliamos a existência de associação dos resultados com características clínico-patológicas dos tumores estudados e com a sobrevida dos pacientes. os resultados mostraram uma associação estatisticamente significante entre o consumo de álcool e os sítios mais afetados pelo ceb, sugerindo que o etanol pode desempenhar um papel potencializador dos agentes do tabaco nos sítios que recebem maior exposição dessas substâncias. a expressão da proteína twist também mostrou uma diminuição na média de sobrevida dos indivíduos. apesar dessa diminuição não ter apresentado significância estatística em nossos estudos, acreditamos que ela deve ser mais amplamente estudada, visando o melhor entendimento do papel desta no carcinoma epidermóide bucal. a positividade de marcação da proteína demonstrou relação com o tabagismo, onde 87,8% dos pacientes fumantes, apresentaram marcação positiva para a proteína, corroborarando o fato de que o fumo pode modular a expressão de marcadores tem incluindo twist. em síntese, os resultados deste estudo evidenciam algumas correlações intrigantes, que no nosso entender merecem especial atenção, no intuito de serem esclarecidas. assim como a localização intracelular da proteína observada neste estudo, que possivelmente está relacionada a algum processo oncogênico ainda não descrito.

Squamous cell carcinoma is a keratinocytes malignant tumor, the definitive diagnosis of this disease is based on histopathology examination of the lesions. The cats nostrils is one of regions commonly affected by this neoplasm. The response to chemotherapeutic agents, cryosurgery and radiotherapy is poor and for this reason surgical resection is instituted for remove the greatest amount of tissue engaged and provide free margins, in case of nasal involvement are indicated nosectomy often needing reconstructive techniques using as advance flaps for synthesis of surgical wounds. Due to the high incidence of feline patients with this entity, this study aims to report and discuss the effectiveness of nosectomy in seven cats with the disease. It is concluded that nosectomy as a therapeutic technique effective in five of seven cats, resecting tumor margin and providing acceptable time and quality life.

It is believed that epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation are important for the tumorigenesis and maintenance of the altered state of tumor cells. DNA methylation occurs by the addition of a methyl group to carbon 5 of cytosine, catalyzed by the enzyme DNA methyl-transferase, which can change the expression of a gene, including the tumor suppressor genes. In human squamous cell carcinoma, several features have shown the etiological role of genes in tumor development. Among them, FOXE1 gene (forkhead box E1 - thyroid transcription factor) is presented with an important role in susceptibility to disease. Similarly the FOXE1 methylation pattern could alter the expression of this gene in dogs and predisposed to tumor on. Therefore, this study aims to investigate in dogs, the validity of the strategy employed in humans to analyze the FOXE1 methylation status. DNA extraction from fresh frozen tumoral samples was performed by Wizard Genomic® DNA Purification Kit. The methylation status was determined by MSP-PCR (methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction), using 2.0 ng of DNA treated with sodium bisulphate. One hundred micrograms of bisulphite-modified DNA was amplified using primers specific for either methylated or unmethylated DNA (primers sequences are available at http://pathology2.jhu.edu/pancreas/primer.pdf). The analysis of fragments was loaded on to 7% polyacrylamide gels and silver nitrate staining. In this stage of technical approach, 60% were FOXE1 hypermethylated. In conclusion, it was observed that the standard technique for assessing the methylation pattern of gene FOXE1 in humans can be used for the same evaluation in dogs. The correlation of these molecular data with clinical and histopathological parameters may have diagnostic and prognostic value and still be used as a tumor marker for therapeutic decision and surgical approach

The majority of published papers deal mainly with prevalence, pathogenesis and treatment of squamous cell carcinoma of the gingiva (SCCG). On the other hand, little is discussed about the comparison between periodontal disease and gingival carcinoma with emphasis on radiographic imaging. In this case report we discuss the importance of the radiographic aspects in inflammatory periodontal disease and SCCG. This case report shows the importance of differentiating a localized severe periodontal disease and SCCG considering the radiographic aspects of the inflammatory bone loss and tumoral bone loss. The oral health care providers need to be familiar with the radiographic imaging of periodontal disease and SCCG.

The squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a neoplasm that affect pets and production animals and it’s very common in tropical countries like Brazil; develops in sparsely pigmented, stratified squamous epithelium and in mucosal surfaces exposed Ultraviolet action. The SCC is quite infiltrative but rarely causes metastases. Its occurrence in the female reproductive tract is recognized in the literature on cattle breeds from Europe. This case was a female bovine, Nelore, adult, who was referred to the "Hospital Veterinário Luiz Quintiliano de Oliveira" with dark brown fluid leakage and putrid odor, associated with ulcerative growth of the vagina. Because the extent of injury, the animal was euthanized and taken to the necropsy, which was observed on board structure, ulcerated and pus in the vaginal floor, infiltrated into the pelvic cavity to the serosa of the uterine body. The microscopic findings were detected neoplastic proliferation of epithelial cells in the floor and vaginal metastases in the lung parenchyma, and classified the primary tumor and metastasis as squamous cell carcinoma moderately differentiated.

The oral and oropharyngeal cancer is aggressive and, in Brazil, the incidence is considered one of the world’s tallest, the most common of head and neck. It affects males more intensively and 70% of cases are in adults over 50 years of age. It is located usually on the floor of the mouth and tongue. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to report a case of male patient, 78 years of age, leukoderma who sought hospital care. Reported frequent smoking and alcoholism. On physical examination headgear, there was the presence of lymph node fixed, painless 1.5 to 2 cm in diameter in the submandibular region. Physical examination intraoral ulcer was found at about 5 cm at its greatest extent, localized to the left oral floor region of the oropharynx, reddish, hardened edges, surface and bottom corrugated carton. The differential diagnosis suggested was traumatic ulcer, paracoccidioidomycosis and squamous cell carcinoma. The approach employed was obtained by incisional biopsy and the piece sent to histopathological analysis, confirming the case of squamous cell carcinoma. The treatment consisted in clarifying the patient about the disease and the need to search for an oncology center. It is concluded that the oral clinical examination is accurate in all major injuries to mouth, even if the chief complaint does not focus on this. In individuals at high risk examination should be systematic and individuals with suspicious lesions should be referred to specialist consultation.
