Avaliação longitudinal da atividade proliferativa em mucosa bucal humana clinicamente saudável exposta ao fumo e ao álcool por meio da técnica de AgNOR

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a velocidade de proliferação celular em mucosa bucal clinicamente normal exposta aos carcinógenos do fumo e do álcool, por meio da citopatologia associada a técnica de AgNOR, em um período de 24 meses. METODOLOGIA: Foram avaliados no exame inicial 60 indivíduos, 17 controles (grupo 1), 25 fumantes (grupo 2) e 18 fumantes e etlistas (grupo 3). Na avaliação longitudinal, realizada 24 meses depois, foram reavaliados 52 individuos, 15 no grupo 1, 23 no grupo 2 e 14 no grupo 3. Os esfregaços citopatológicos foram obtidos da mucosa do lábio inferior, da borda da língua e do assoalho bucal e foram submetidos a coloração pela técnica de AgNOR para avaliação da média do número, da média da área de AgNORs por núcleo e do percentual de núcleos com mais de 3 e mais de 5 AgNORs. Os valores obtidos nas avaliações inicial e final foram comparados pelo teste t de Student com um nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: Houve um percentual de retorno de 86,7%. Foi observado um aumento estastisticamente significativo para os valores de média do número de AgNORs por núcleo nos grupos 2 e 3 nos três sítios anatômicos analisados. Esse aumento foi maior no grupo 3. No grupo 1, observou-se uma tendência ao aumento desses valores. CONCLUSÕES: A avaliação longitudinal das variações da velocidade de proliferação celular em indivíduos expostos aos carcinógenos do fumo e do álcool pode representar uma ferramenta para o monitoramento desses indivíduos, uma vez que em período de 24 meses houve aumento dos valores das variáveis analisadas. Para a realização da avaliação longitudinal foi suficiente a análise da média do número de AgNORs por núcleo.

Dupla marcação p53/AgNOR em carcinoma epidermóide oral

The utilization of the immunohistochemical/histochemical double staining technique comes permitting the analysis of two molecular parameters at the same time in an even tissue. Starting from this, the objective of this study was to investigate the existence of differences between the number of NORS/NUCLEUS between p53 positive and p53 negative cells, as well as the existence of correlation between the medium of the NORs of the p53 positive and negative cells and the histological scores of maligninancy in 16 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma. It was first classified in agreement with the histological grade system of maligninancy proposed by Bryne (1998) and the double staining technique immunohistochemistry/histochemistry was utilized for the achievement to quantify of the NORs in p53 positive and negative cells. It had not significant differences between the medium number of NORs of the p53 positive cells and of the p53 negative cells, and they were not correlated with the histological scores of malignancy. We conclude that the related phenotype to the p53 immunohistochemical expression did not influence the average of NORS/NUCLEUS and this medium, in both positive and negative cells, is not correlated with the degree of histological aggressivity of the oral squamous cell carcinoma

Quantitative analysis of AgNOR proteins in exfoliative cytology specimens of oral mucosa from smokers and nonsmokers

OBJECTIVE: To determine the cell proliferation rate and possible effects of cigarette smoking on the oral mucosa lining through analysis of silver-stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) in exfoliative cytology specimens.STUDY DESIGN: Exfoliative cytology was performed on the left side of the border of the tongue and of the floor of the mouth in 25 smoking patients and 25 nonsmoking patients. The inclusion criterion for smokers was the consumption of more than 20 cigarettes per day for a minimum of 30 years.RESULTS: The slides were stained by histochemical AgNOR method. In the nonsmoking group the mean number of AgNORs per nucleus was 2.732 +/- 0.236 in the tongue border and 2.918 +/- 0.195 in the floor of the mouth. In smoking patients the mean number of AgNORs per nucleus was 3.372 +/- 0.375 in the tongue border and 3.245 +/- 0.237 in the floor of the mouth.CONCLUSION. The results suggest higher cell proliferation quantified by the histochemical AgNOR technique in exfoliative cytology specimens obtained from the oral mucosa lining of smokers presenting no clinical alterations.

Comparison of exfoliative pap stain and AgNOR counts of the tongue in smokers and nonsmokers

Objective To compare exfoliative cytology from the oral mucosa of smokers and nonsmokers, with emphasis on proliferative activity. Methods Exfoliative cytology specimens were obtained from clinical normal mucosa from the lateral border of the tongue in 30 nonsmokers and 30 smokers ranging in age from 40 to 70 years of age, who were seen at the Heart Institute's Patient Center and the Smoking Cessation Program of the University Hospital, University of São Paulo Medical School (InCor-HCFMUSP). The cytologic specimens were evaluated by Papanicolaou staining and AgNOR quantification in order to evaluate the presence of cytological alterations suggestive of inflammation, dysplasia, keratinization, and proliferative activity of epithelial cells. Results Only Papanicolaou Class I and Class II smears were observed. Inflammatory alterations were found in 90% of smokers and in 87% of nonsmokers. The number of AgNORs/nucleus differed significantly between smokers and nonsmokers (3.372 ± 0.375 versus 2.732 ± 0.236). Conclusions Within the limitations of this research, the results indicate higher proliferative activity in smoking patients compared to nonsmoking patients, even in the absence of clinical lesions. © The Author(s) 2008.

The oral cancer model in hamsters shows many simílarities with developmental oral cancer in humans. The proliferating capacity is one the most characteristics of neoplásica ce/Is and detection of these ce/Is allow us, throughout of its counting, to achieve an estimated tumour growing index, with a consequent repercussion about prognostic and in the treatment of those lesions. 40 golden Syrian hamsters, both genders, aged between two to six mouth and weight 150g in average were used. The left síde of tangue of each animal was painted for eight consecutive weeks, with a solution of DMBA. Tongues were removed, fixed in 10% buffered fonnal solution. The histological slides were stained by AgNOR technique and by PCNA and β-catenin immunohistochemical antibodies. Statistical analyzes were performed by ANOVA one-way test and Tukey test. We may conclude that an association between AgNOR and PCNA might indicate the higher proliferating activity of the analyzed celIs. The experimental carcinogenesis model in hamster tongue is an available methodology for immunohistochemistry study. And finally, PCNA and β-catenin immunohistochemical antibodies may be used to analyze possible premalignant areas in oral leukoplakia
