Cohen, Adam L., Factor, Rachel E., Mooney, Kathi, Salama, Mohamed E., Wade, Mark, Serpico, Victoria, Ostrander, Emily, Nelson, Edward, Porretta, Jane, Matsen, Cindy, Bernard, Philip, Boucher, Ken, Neumayer, Leigh 02 1900 (has links)
Objectives: A decrease in Ki67 during neoadjuvant therapy predicts response to tamoxifen. Previous trials have shown a decreased Ki67 in breast tumors with as little as two or more weeks of preoperative tamoxifen. Shortening the preoperative treatment time in window of opportunity clinical trials makes these trials more attractive to women. POWERPIINC examined the effect of 7 days of preoperative tamoxifen on breast tumor proliferation and patient symptoms. Methods: Women with untreated stage I/II, ER-positive, invasive breast cancer with no contraindications to tamoxifen were enrolled. Women received 20 mg of tamoxifen for 7 days up to the day of surgery. Proliferation was assessed by Ki67 immunohistochemistry before and after 7 days of tamoxifen. Symptoms and QOL were assessed by the FACT-ES and MENQOL. Adherence was measured by pill counts. Results: 52 women were enrolled, and 44 were evaluable for Ki67. The median age was 58.5 years, and the median tumor diameter was 1.2 cm. Most women (73%) were post-menopausal. Most tumors were PR positive (88%) and HER2-negative (92%). The Ki67 decreased by a geometric mean of 40% (95% CI 29%-63%), and 73% (95% CI 57%-85%) of women had tumors with decreased proliferation (p = 0.0001 by paired t-test). Adherence to taking tamoxifen during the preoperative period was 100%. Women reported minimal bother from psychosocial or physical symptoms at baseline or on the day of surgery. Conclusion: Seven days of tamoxifen showed a similar relative decrease in Ki67 as that reported for longer courses, was acceptable to women, and could be considered for window of opportunity studies.

No presente estudo, avaliamos os fatores clincopatológicos em uma série de 38 casos de CXAP provenientes de três instituições do estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Analisamos também, o índice de proliferação celular, através da imunomarcação de Ki-67 em 36 APs, 22 APs provenientes de CXAP e 36 CXAPs nas diferentes fases de progressão maligna (precoces e francamente invasivos), subdivididos quanto aos tipos histológicos, a fim de determinar uma possível ferramenta de auxílio diagnóstico. Com estes mesmos grupos de tumores, estudamos o perfil genético de ganho e perda de número de cópias e metilação de genes supressores de tumor, através da técnica de Multiplex Ligation Probe-Dependent Amplification (MLPA). Os resultados mostraram características clinicopatológicas semelhantes às descritas em grandes séries da literatura. Observamos que a marcação de Ki-67 pode ser uma útil ferramenta na distinção entre AP e CXAP, mesmo em fases precoces de transformação maligna. Este índice mostrou não ser importante para distinção dos subtipos histopatológicos. Além disso, encontramos várias alterações em genes supressores de tumor presentes durante a tumorigênese do AP e carcinogênese do CXAP, e observamos um aumento cumulativo de alterações genômicas, sendo algumas delas, específicas para cada fase / Abstract: Carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) is an aggressive neoplasm, and its pathogenesis is still unclear, although it is believed to result from the accumulation of genetic alterations in pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) with long duration. In the present study, we evaluated the clinicopathological features in a series of 38 cases of CXPA from three institutions of the state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. We also analyzed the index of cell proliferation by labeling of Ki-67 in 36 PA, 22 PA from CXPA, and 36 CXPA in different stages of malignant progression (early and frankly invasive) subdivided in histolopathological types, to determine a possible tool to aid the diagnosis. With the same groups of tumors, it was studied also the genomic profile of gain and loss of copy number and methylation of tumor suppressor genes across Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification (MLPA). The results showed similar clinicopathological features to those described in large published series. We observed that Ki-67 is a useful tool in distinguishing between PA and CXPA, even in the early stages of malignant transformation. This index showed no importance for distinction among the several histological subtypes of CXPA. Furthermore, we find that various tumor suppressor genes are altered during PA tumorigenesis and CXPA carcinogenesis, and there is an accumulative increase of genomic alterations that seems to be specific for each phase / Doutorado / Patologia / Doutor em Estomatopatologia

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / Os cistos dos ossos maxilares sÃo classificados como odontogÃnicos e nÃo odontogÃnicos. Dentre os odontogÃnicos inflamatÃrios, destaca-se o cisto radicular, e entre os de desenvolvimento, o dentÃgero. Estes cistos e suas variantes apresentam etiopatogÃnese e comportamento biolÃgico diferentes, mas sÃo igualmente lÃticos. A atividade proliferativa do epitÃlio de revestimento, dos componentes da membrana basal e da matriz extracelular, possivelmente, interferem nos mecanismos de crescimento, constituindo alvos de pesquisas. Este trabalho teve por objetivo avaliar a relaÃÃo do infiltrado inflamatÃrio mononuclear com a expressÃo de marcadores de proliferaÃÃo (Ki 67) e das proteÃnas da membrana basal e matriz extracelular nos cistos radiculares. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo e observacional tendo sido realizado um levantamento dos casos catalogados no ServiÃo de Biopsia do Departamento de Patologia e Medicina Legal (FAMED) e no LaboratÃrio de Patologia Bucal (FFOE) (UFC). ApÃs a revisÃo histolÃgica, os grupos foram divididos em cisto radicular intensamente inflamado (CRII) (n=17), cisto radicular levemente inflamado(CRLI)(n=.9) e cisto dentÃgero (CD) (n= 9). A presenÃa e intensidade do infiltrado inflamatÃrio histiolinfoplasmocitÃrio e preservaÃÃo do epitÃlio de revestimento foram os parÃmetros utilizados para seleÃÃo dos casos. Os espÃcimes foram submetidos à reaÃÃo de imuno-histoquÃmica por estreptoavidina biotina, utilizando-se os anticorpos Ki 67 (DakoÂ, 1:50), anti-colÃgeno IV (DBSÂ, 1:40) e anti-laminina (DBSÂ, 1:20). A expressÃo de Ki 67 foi mais intensa no grupo CRLI, quando comparada ao grupo CRII e CD. A expressÃo de colÃgeno tipo IV na membrana basal foi significante no grupo CRLI, quando comparada com o grupo CRII e CD. Jà a imunomarcaÃÃo de matriz extracelular variou de ausente a fraca nos grupos CRII e CRLI, enquanto no CD se exibiu de forma fraca a moderada, sendo esta diferenÃa significativa. A expressÃo de laminina em membrana basal nos grupos CRII e CD foi negativa e no grupo dos CRLI foi fraca e pontual. Concluiu-se que a presenÃa e a intensidade do conteÃdo inflamatÃrio na parede dos cistos radiculares parecem modificar a expressÃo dos fatores de proliferaÃÃo no epitÃlio de revestimento, e colÃgeno tipo IV e laminina na membrana basal, mas nÃo interferem no comportamento do colÃgeno IV da matriz extracelular nos cistos radiculares. A expressÃo de componentes da membrana basal (laminina e colÃgeno tipo IV) à maior nos cistos radiculares com leve infiltrado inflamatÃrio. / Jawbone cysts are classified as odontogenic and non-odontogenic cysts. The radicular cyst is the most common odontogenic cyst of inflammatory origin, whereas the detigerous cyst is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst. These cysts and their variations have different etiopathogenesis and biological behavior, but are equally lytic. The proliferation activity of the epithelial lining and the components of the basement membrane and extracellular matrix constitute targets of research. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relation between mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate and the expression of proliferative immunomarkers (Ki 67), and proteins of basement membrane and extracellular matrix in radicular cysts. In this retrospective observational study, all cases of jawbone cysts that had been recorded in the files of the Department of Pathology and Legal Medicine (FAMED), and of the Laboratory of Oral Pathology (FFOE) of the Federal University of Cearà (UFC) and reviewed. After histological revision, the groups were divided into heavily inflamed radicular cysts (HIRC) (n=17), slightly inflamed radicular cysts (SIRC) (n=9) and dentigerous cysts (DC) (n=9). The presence and intensity of the lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory infiltrate and the preservation of the epithelial lining were the parameters used to select the cases. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed using the standard streptavidin-biotin-peroxidase method. The primary antibodies used in this study included Ki 67 (DakoÂ, 1:50), Anti-Collagen Type IV (DBSÂ, 1:40) and Anti- Laminin (DBSÂ, 1:20).The immunoexpression of Ki-67 was more intense in the SIRC group compared to the HIRC group and DC. Likewise, the immunoexpression of Anti-Collagem Type IV in the basement membrane of the SIRC group presented a statistically significant difference compared to the HIRC group and DC . The expression of laminin in the basement membrane and in group HIRC and DC was negative and the group of SIRC was weak and punctual. It was concluded that presence and severity of inflammatory content wall of radicular cysts appear to modify the expression of proliferation factors in the coating epithelium and collagen type IV and laminin in the basement membrane but not modific with the behavior of extracellular matrix in radicular cyst. The expression of basement membrane components (laminin and collage type IV) is higher in radicular cyst with mild inflammatory infiltrade.

Na população feminina, seu aumento ocorre principalmente nos anos próximos da transição para menopausa. O aumento de peso representa um risco para diversas comorbidades, dentre elas um importante fator de risco para patologia endometrial. A etiologia e a patogênese dos pólipos não estão completamente esclarecidas. Estuda-se se o desenvolvimento dos pólipos endometriais está diretamente relacionado à presença de receptores hormonais, além de estar relacionado a mecanismos envolvidos à proliferação e à apoptose celular. Objetivos: Avaliar a imunoexpressão dos receptores de estrógeno (RE), progesterona (RP), Cox-2, Ki67 e Bcl-2 em pólipos endometriais benignos na pré e pós-menopausa e associação com a obesidade. Materiais e métodos: Dentre 1050 mulheres submetidas à histeroscopia cirúrgica no Hospital da Mulher Prof. Dr. Aristodemo Pinotti - CAISM/UNICAMP, de janeiro de 1998 a dezembro de 2008, 800 foram casos de polipectomia endometrial confirmados com exame anatomopatológico. Deste total, foram excluídas as usuárias de Tamoxifeno, as que faziam uso de terapia hormonal e os casos de pólipos malignos ou pré-malignos. Obteve-se uma amostra de 515 pólipos endometriais benignos em mulheres na pré e pós-menopausa. Foram avaliadas as expressões de RE, RP, Bcl-2, Ki67 e Cox-2, através de imuno-histoquímica, segundo a porcentagem de células coradas, intensidade da coloração e escore final. Os escores finais de RE, RP, Bcl-2, Cox-2 variam de 0 a 8 e o de Ki67 de 0 a 3. A mediana dos escores finais de RE, RP, Bcl-2, Cox-2 e Ki67 no epitélio glandular e no estroma dos pólipos foi comparada entre mulheres obesas e não obesas na pré e pós-menopausa, utilizando os testes qui-quadrado, exato de Fisher ou não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. Resultados: A mediana do escore final de receptores hormonais mostrou maior expressão de RP no estroma e no epitélio glandular das mulheres obesas na pós-menopausa, sem diferença em relação à expressão dos RE. Em mulheres na pré-menopausa não houve diferença na expressão de RE e RP entre obesas e não obesas. Nos pólipos endometriais de mulheres pós-menopausadas houve maior expressão de Cox-2 e Bcl-2 no epitélio glandular das mulheres obesas do que em relação às mulheres não obesas. Não houve diferenças em relação ao estroma endometrial. Na pré-menopausa, houve maior expressão de Bcl-2 apenas no epitélio glandular das mulheres obesas. Não houve diferenças na expressão de Ki67 entre obesas e não obesas tanto na pós-menopausa quanto na pré-menopausa. Conclusões: Os pólipos de mulheres obesas apresentam, na pós-menopausa, maior expressão de RP glandular e estromal, Cox-2 glandular e Bcl-2 glandular, sem diferenças na expressão de Ki67. Estes dados sugerem que sua etiopatogênese dos pólipos em obesas parece estar mais relacionada aos receptores de progesterona, à inibição da apoptose e aos mecanismos relacionados à inflamação celular / Abstract: Introduction: The prevalence of obesity has increased worldwide and represents a public health problem nowadays. The female population, considerably presents its increase in the coming years of the transition to menopause. Weight gaining represents a risk for various comorbidities, but among them all, it is an important risk factor for the endometrial pathology. The polyps etiology and pathogenesis have not been completely clarified so far. It has been studied whether the endometrial polyps development is directly related to the presence of hormone receptors, besides being associated with mechanisms involved in the proliferation and cellular apoptosis.Objectives: To evaluate the immunoexpression of estrogen and progesterone receptors, Ki67, Bcl-2 and Cox-2 in benign endometrial polyps in pre and postmenopausal women and their association with obesity. Methods: It was observed that among 1050 women who underwent hysteroscopic surgery at the "Prof. Dr. José Aristodemo Pinotti" Women's Hospital-CAISM-UNICAMP from January 1998 to December 2008, 800 were confirmed with endometrial polyp anatomopathological diagnosis. Of this total amount, it was excluded tamoxifen users, those who used hormone therapy and cases of malignant or pre-malignant polyps. It was obtained a sample of 515 benign endometrial polyps in women before and after menopause. It was also assessed the expression of ER, PR, Bcl-2, COX-2 and Ki67 through immunohistochemistry according to stained cells percentage, staining intensity, and the final score. The ER, PR, Bcl-2, Cox-2 final score ranges from 0 to 8 and the Ki67 from 0 to 3). The ER, PR, Bcl-2, Cox-2 and Ki67 median final scores in the glandular epithelium and stroma of the polyps were compared among obese and nonobese women, in pre and postmenopausal condition, using the Chi-square Fisher's exact test or nonparametric Mann-Whitney test. Results: The hormonal receptors median final score has showed an increased expression of progesterone receptors in the stroma and glandular epithelium of postmenopausal obese women but there was no difference in expression of ER estrogen receptors. In premenopausal women, there was no difference in expression of ER and PR among obese and nonobese women. The endometrial polyps in postmenopausal women have showed a higher expression of Cox-2 and Bcl-2 in glandular epithelium in obese women rather than in nonobese women. There were no differences in the endometrial stroma. In premenopausal women, there was a higher expression of Bcl-2 only in the obese women glandular epithelium. There were no differences in Ki67 expression among obese and nonobese both postmenopausal and premenopausal women. Conclusions: Obese women polyps, in postmenopausal condition, have increased expression of glandular and stromal PR, Cox-2 and Bcl-2 glandular. However, there are no differences in the Ki67 expression . These data suggest that its etiopathogenesis in obese women polyps, seem to be related to progesterone receptors, apoptosis inhibition and also to mechanisms associated with cellular inflammation / Mestrado / Fisiopatologia Ginecológica / Mestre em Ciências da Saúde

Studies on the antiproliferative action of interferon : effects on proteins synthesized in the G1 and S phase of the cell cycle in 2 anchorage-dependent cell lines

Lundblad, Dan January 1991 (has links)
Interferons (IFNs) are a class of structurally related proteins first discovered to be produced by virus-infected cells. By now, several other inducing agents have been described. IFNs exert multiple effects on cells exemplified by the establishment of an antiviral state, inhibition of cell proliferation and alteration of different immune reactions. In the present thesis the inhibition of cellular growth concentrated on effects in the early cell cycle have been studied. The human glioma cell line 251 MG was found to be blocked in the S phase of the cell cycle upon addition of IFN both to exponentially growing and growth-factor depleted, synchronized cells. Thymidine kinase and DNA-polymerase activities were reduced in parallel with the S phase effect. 2-5 oligo Anucleotides transfected into glioma cells lead to inhibition of cell growth, exponentially growing cells being blocked in the S phase as during IFN treatment. In contrast, synchronized, restimulated cells were blocked in the cellcycle phase where they resided at the time of transfection. As 2-5 oligo A synthetase activity was induced in the middle of the Gl phase, these results might indicate that the kinetics of expression of oligonucleotides after IFN additiondetermines the type of cell cycle block obtained in differenttumor cells. IFN inhibited preferentially proteins originating from newly synthesized mRNA in Sw 3T3 cells, c-mvc did not seem to be included among these proteins. In both cell systems c-myc expression was unaltered after IFN treatment. In clone T1 selected from the the Sw 3T3 cell line , c-mvc expression was uncoupled to growth and seemed to be growth factor independent. The change in c-myc expression in clone T1 compared to SW 3T3 cells did not render the cells sensitive to IFN. Hence, c-myc regulation does not seem to be the mechanism by which IFN regulates cell growth in this system. The proliferation marker KI-67 antigen was shown not to be causatively involved in growth inhibition of IFN. The reduced levels of the antigen was proposed to be a secondary effect caused by the G0/G1 arrest. / <p>Diss.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2006-12-31 / O carcinoma da mama é a neoplasia maligna mais freqüente entre as mulheres com grande impacto na mortalidade. Os estudos de quimioprevenção primária com tamoxifeno têm gerado boas expectativas e consideradas taxas de sucesso. Doses menores do tamoxifeno apresentam eficácia semelhante à dose padrão, com redução de custos e efeitos adversos. Estudou-se a imunorreação do anticorpo monoclonal Ki-67 (MIB-1) e a positividade dos receptores de estrogênio (1D5) e progesterona (PgR 636) no carcinoma de mama de mulheres tratadas com 10 mg de tamoxifeno por um período de 14 dias. Realizou-se estudo prospectivo, randomizado, com 38 mulheres, divididas em dois grupos: Grupo A: N = 20 (Grupo controle - sem medicação) e Grupo B: N = 18 (tamoxifeno 10 mg/dia por 14 dias). Todas as pacientes assinaram termo de consentimento previamente aprovado pelas duas instituições (Universidade Federal de São Paulo – Escola Paulista de Medicina e Hospital Materno Infantil de Goiânia-GO). A seguir foram submetidas à biópsia incisional e, após 14 dias, foi obtida nova amostra do tecido tumoral durante o tratamento cirúrgico definitivo. A positividade foi avaliada quantitativamente, contando-se no mínimo 1.000 células para cada lâmina. Para a análise estatística dos dados, foi utilizado o teste não paramétrico de Wilcoxon, fixandose α em 5%. Os dois grupos (A e B) foram considerados homogêneos em relação às variáveis de controle. No grupo A (controle) não houve redução estatisticamente significativa da positividade do Ki-67 (MIB-1) (p=0,627), e dos receptores de estrogênio (1D5) (p=0,296) e progesterona (PgR 636) (p=0,381). No grupo B (tamoxifeno 10 mg/dia) a porcentagem média de núcleos corados pelo Ki-67 (MIB-1) foi 24,7% antes e 10,4% após. Para o receptor de estrogênio (1D5), 59,5% antes e 25,9% após e para o receptor de progesterona (PgR 636), 59,3% e 29,6%, respectivamente. Houve redução significativa para os três marcadores (p<0,001). O tamoxifeno reduziu significativamente a positividade do anticorpo monoclonal Ki-67 (MIB-1), receptor de estrogênio (1D5) e receptor de progesterona (PgR 636) no epitélio mamário de pacientes com carcinoma, tratadas com tamoxifeno na dose de 10 mg por 14 dias. / Breast carcinoma is the most common malignancy among women, and it has a major impact on mortality. Studies of primary chemoprevention with tamoxifen have generated high expectations and considerable success rates. The efficacy of lower doses of tamoxifen is similar to that seen with the standard dose of the drug, and there is a reduction in medical care costs and adverse effects. The immune reaction to monoclonal antibody Ki-67 (MIB-1) and the expression of estrogen receptors (1D5) and progesterone receptors (PgR 636) in breast carcinoma were studied in patients treated with 10 mg of tamoxifen for a period of 14 days. A prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted with 38 patients divided into two groups: Group A: N = 20 (control group–without medication) and Group B: N = 18 (tamoxifen/10 mg/day for 14 days). All patients signed an informed consent term previously approved by both institutions (UNIFESP-EPM and Hospital Materno Infantil, Goiânia-GO). Patients underwent incisional biopsy before treatment and 14 days later a sample of tumor tissue was obtained during surgical treatment. Positivity was quantitatively assessed, counting at least 1.000 cells per slide. For statistical data analysis, a Wilcoxon non-parametric test was used, and α was set at 5%. Both groups (A and B) were considered homogeneous regarding control variables. In Group A (control), there was no statistically significant reduction in Ki-67 (MIB-1) (p=0.627), estrogen receptor (1D5) (p=0.296) and progesterone receptor positivity (PgR 636) (p=0.381). In Group B (tamoxifen 10 mg/day), the mean percentage of nuclei stained by Ki- 67 (MIB-1) was 24.7% before and 10.4% after tamoxifen treatment. Mean percentage of nuclei stained by estrogen receptor (1D5) was 59.5% before and 25.9% after tamoxifen treatment. Mean percentage of nuclei stained by progesterone receptor (PgR 636), was 59.3 before and 29.6% after tamoxifen treatment. A statistically significant reduction was found with the three markers (p<0.001). Tamoxifen significantly reduced monoclonal antibody Ki-67 (MIB-1), estrogen receptor (1D5) and progesterone receptor positivity (PgR 636) in the breast epithelium of patients with carcinoma, treated with a 10 mg dose of tamoxifen for 14 days. / TEDE / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

A exata localização destas é bem conhecida no olho do homem, bem como as suas funções. Entretanto, as mesmas ainda não foram descritas em medicina veterinária, sequer a sua localização em olhos de animais de companhia, tratando-se assim, de assunto que merece novas e originais investigações. Anticorpos monoclonais que reagem superficialmente com as citoqueratinas são empregados para determinar este tipo celular presente nos tecidos, no entanto, existem outros marcadores capazes de reagir antigenicamente com núcleos celulares. Entre eles, o PCNA (antígeno nuclear de proliferação celular) e o Ki-67 (antígeno de proliferação Ki-67) são capazes de marcar células em proliferação. Uma vez que isso nunca fora descrito anteriormente, e considerando-se a necessidade e importância científica em se determinar a localização de células em proliferação na superfície ocular de cães, o presente estudo teve por objetivos: 1) determinar a expressão de células em proliferação pela marcação imunoistoquímica com anticorpos monoclonais anti-PCNA e anti-MIB-1 (anticorpo monoclonal anti-Ki-67), bem como, sua localização na superfície ocular; 2) comparar se há diferença estatística significante na marcação dessas células em diferentes idades. Para tanto, foram utilizados 24 cães jovens e adultos, sadios, dos quais o bulbo ocular esquerdo foi removido, fixado e corado pela H.E. (hematoxilina e eosina), além da imunoistoquímica empregando-se os anticorpos monoclonais anti-PCNA e anti-MIB-1. Concluiu-se que a presença de células em proliferação imunomarcadas pelo PCNA e pelo MIB-1 foi observada em diferentes tecidos da superfície ocular de cães, sendo os tecidos mais marcados: o limbo e o epitélio da córnea... / The stem-cells has a fundamental paper in process of cornea s tissue repair and regeneration. In man, the well-know localization and functions had been descriebed a long time ago, however the same ones had not yet been descriebed in veterinary medicine, at least your localization in eyes of company animals, what deserve new and original inquiries. Monoclonais antibodies that react superficially with the cytokeratins are used to determine this cell type presence in ocular surface. However, exist another markers capable to react with cell nucleoli, for example, PCNA and MIB-1 are capable to mark proliferation cells. Considering the necessity and scientific importance to determining the localization of proliferation cells on dog s ocular surface, a time that, never was descriebed previously, the present study had for objectives: 1) determineted the expression of proliferation cells immunohistochemically by PCNA and MIB-1 and its localization in ocular surface; 2) compare if has statistically significant difference in immunoexpression of proliferation cells in different ages. In the study was used 24 healthy dogs, young and adults, witch had the left eyes removed, fixed in buffered formalin and stained with H.E. (hematoxilin and eosin) and with monoclonal antibodies anti-PCNA and anti-MIB-1. The presence of immunostained cells was most observed in corneal ephithelium and limbo.

A exata localização destas é bem conhecida no olho do homem, bem como as suas funções. Entretanto, as mesmas ainda não foram descritas em medicina veterinária, sequer a sua localização em olhos de animais de companhia, tratando-se assim, de assunto que merece novas e originais investigações. Anticorpos monoclonais que reagem superficialmente com as citoqueratinas são empregados para determinar este tipo celular presente nos tecidos, no entanto, existem outros marcadores capazes de reagir antigenicamente com núcleos celulares. Entre eles, o PCNA (antígeno nuclear de proliferação celular) e o Ki-67 (antígeno de proliferação Ki-67) são capazes de marcar células em proliferação. Uma vez que isso nunca fora descrito anteriormente, e considerando-se a necessidade e importância científica em se determinar a localização de células em proliferação na superfície ocular de cães, o presente estudo teve por objetivos: 1) determinar a expressão de células em proliferação pela marcação imunoistoquímica com anticorpos monoclonais anti-PCNA e anti-MIB-1 (anticorpo monoclonal anti-Ki-67), bem como, sua localização na superfície ocular; 2) comparar se há diferença estatística significante na marcação dessas células em diferentes idades. Para tanto, foram utilizados 24 cães jovens e adultos, sadios, dos quais o bulbo ocular esquerdo foi removido, fixado e corado pela H.E. (hematoxilina e eosina), além da imunoistoquímica empregando-se os anticorpos monoclonais anti-PCNA e anti-MIB-1. Concluiu-se que a presença de células em proliferação imunomarcadas pelo PCNA e pelo MIB-1 foi observada em diferentes tecidos da superfície ocular de cães, sendo os tecidos mais marcados: o limbo e o epitélio da córnea...(Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo) / Abstract: The stem-cells has a fundamental paper in process of cornea’s tissue repair and regeneration. In man, the well-know localization and functions had been descriebed a long time ago, however the same ones had not yet been descriebed in veterinary medicine, at least your localization in eyes of company animals, what deserve new and original inquiries. Monoclonais antibodies that react superficially with the cytokeratins are used to determine this cell type presence in ocular surface. However, exist another markers capable to react with cell nucleoli, for example, PCNA and MIB-1 are capable to mark proliferation cells. Considering the necessity and scientific importance to determining the localization of proliferation cells on dog’s ocular surface, a time that, never was descriebed previously, the present study had for objectives: 1) determineted the expression of proliferation cells immunohistochemically by PCNA and MIB-1 and its localization in ocular surface; 2) compare if has statistically significant difference in immunoexpression of proliferation cells in different ages. In the study was used 24 healthy dogs, young and adults, witch had the left eyes removed, fixed in buffered formalin and stained with H.E. (hematoxilin and eosin) and with monoclonal antibodies anti-PCNA and anti-MIB-1. The presence of immunostained cells was most observed in corneal ephithelium and limbo. Probably the immunostained cells are stem-cells in dog’s ocular surface, however for such evidence it is necessary ...(Complete abstract click electronic address below) / Mestre
