No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2009-05-27 / Objetivo: Investigar a imuno-expressão do c-kit e sua correlação com o prognóstico em pacientes portadores de Osteossarcoma e o efeito do Mesilato de Imatinibe (STI571) na proliferação e invasão de linhagens de células humanas de osteossarcoma. Material e Método Estudo retrospectivo com realização de imunohistoquímica dos blocos de parafina de 52 pacientes com osteossarcoma de extremidades de alto grau, tratados no Instituto de Oncologia Pediátrica e diagnosticados no Departamento de Patologia da UNIFESP. Somente espécimes pré-quimioterapia foram analisados. Imunoexpressão forte e citoplasmática foram considerados como positivos. A linhagem cellular MG 63 foi incubada e o efeito inibitório do STI571 na proliferação e invasão dessas células tumorais in vitro foi estudada. Resultados: 24 casos (46,15%) expressaram o c-kit, sendo que esses tumores positivos tiveram pior resposta à qumioterapia pré-operatória. Não foi encontrada correlação entre os casos c-kit positivos e sobrevida global e livre de doença. STI571 inibiu a proliferação de células de osteossarcoma in vitro, em baixas doses e a invasão dessas células, em altas doses. Conclusões: Osteossarcomas expressam c-kit e esses tumores c-kit positivos são maus respondedores (têm menos necrose) à quimioterapia pré-operatória. O Mesilato de Imatinibe inibe a proliferação de células de osteossarcomas que expressam o c-kit, mas não inibem a invasão. Esses achados permitem sugerir que o STI571 pode ser uma nova estratégia no tratamento dos pacientes portadores de osteossarcomas. / Purpose: To investigate the immunoexpression and its prognostic relevance of KIT in patients with osteosarcomas and the effect of Imatinib mesylate (STI571) on proliferation and invasion of human cell osteosarcoma line. Material and Methods: A retrospective immunohistochemical study was performed on archival formalin fixed paraffin-embedded tissue obtained from Department of Pathology of Federal University of São Paulo of 52 high-grade patients with primary osteosarcomas of extremities treated at the Instituto de Oncologia Pediátrica. Only pre-chemotherapy specimens were analysed. Strong cytoplasmic and membranous staining cases were taken as positive. The human cell line MG 63 was incubated and inhibitory effect of STI571 on cell proliferation and invasion was studied. Results: Twenty four cases (46,15%) expressed c-kit and tumours ckit positive had lower necrosis pos chemotherapy. No correlation was found between ckit expression and overall and disease free survival. STI571 inhibited the rates of cell growth of osteosaroma cells in low doses and invasion in high doses Conclusions: Tumours c-kit positives had worse response to chemotherapy and STI571 plays a role in blocking or slowing the rate of growth of osteosarcoma cells expressing ckit, but not the invasive capacity of these neoplastic cells. These data suggested that Imatinib Mesylate could be a therapeutic target of strategies against Osteosarcoma that express c-kit. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações
