InteraÃÃo da frutalina com neoplasias de tireÃide. Estudo comparativo com marcadores tumorais em uso / FRUTALIN AS A TUMORAL MARKER IN THYROID LESIONS. A COMPARATIVE STUDY WITH ROUTINELY USED MARKERS.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / O interesse nos carboidratos de superfÃcie celular tem aumentado devido ao fato de estarem relacionados a diferenciaÃÃo e maturaÃÃo celular. A transformaÃÃo celular em neoplasias malignas està associado a alteraÃÃes na superfÃcie de membranas celulares, particularmente na composiÃÃo dos glicoconjugados, determinando sua capacidade em relaÃÃo a invasividade e potencial metastÃtico. Lectinas, proteinas amplamente distribuidas nos reinos animal e vegetal, tem a capacidade de ligarem-se a carboidratos de estrutura e configuraÃÃo especÃficas. Tem sido utilizadas como ferramentas em muitas Ãreas de investigaÃÃo diagnÃstica especialmente naquelas relacionadas a mudanÃas na expressÃo de carboidratos no citoplasma e na membrana celulares. O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar o padrÃo de ligaÃÃo da frutalina, lectina α-galactose ligante de Artocarpus incisa, biotinilada (FTL-B) com os marcadores usuais (CK19, GAL3, HBME-1) e o novo marcador para carcinomas papilares da tireÃide, 373-E1, em vÃrias lesÃes malignas e benignas da tireÃide e em tecido tireoidiano normal. FTL-B foi obtida por cromatografia de afinidade e biotinilada. CK19, GAL3 e HBME-1 foram obtidos de Novocastra Laboratories, Ltd., UK e 373-E1 de Labvision, UK. LesÃes tireoidianas e tecido tireoidiano normal em parafina foram utilizados para a construÃÃo de tissue micro-arrays os quais foram cortados a 2 Âm e marcados com CK19, GAL3, HBME-1 e 373-E1 pelo mÃtodo imuno-histoquÃmico da estreptoavidina-biotina-peroxidase e com FTL-B por mÃtodo lectino-histoquÃmico. As lesÃes incluÃam carcinomas papilares (90 casos), carcinomas foliculares (6 casos), carcinoma de cÃlulas de HÃrthle (2 casos), carcinoma anaplÃsico (4 casos), metÃstases linfonodais de carcinomas papilares (6 casos), adenoma de cÃlulas de HÃrthle (2 casos), adenomas foliculares (3 casos), bÃcio (4 casos) e tireoidite de Hashimoto (3 casos). NÃo houve marcaÃÃo em tecido tireoidiano normal ou nas lesÃes benignas usando FTL-B ou os marcadores usuais. Carcinomas papilares e metÃstases de carcinomas papilares marcaram fortemente a membrana celular com FTL-B. Os marcadores usuais e FTL-B mostraram padrÃes de marcaÃÃo semelhantes, sugerindo que FTL-B poderia ser usada como um marcador tumoral da mesma forma que CK19, GAL3, HBME-1 e 373-E1. / Increased interest has been devoted to cell surface carbohydrates, since they are related to cell differentiation and maturation. Cell transformation in malignant tumors is associated to altered surface membranes, particularly with an abnormal composition of glycoconjugates, determining characteristics of neoplastic cells as invasive behavior and metastasis. Lectins, proteins widely distributed in the plant and animal kingdom, have the distinctive property of binding to carbohydrates of specific structure and configuration. Lectins have been used as tools in many areas of diagnostic investigation especially related to changes in the expression of membrane and cytoplasmatic carbohydrates. The aim of this work was to compare the binding pattern of the biotinilated frutalin, Artocarpus incisa α-galatose binding lectin (FTL-B), with the markers usually available (CK19, HBME-1, GAL3) and the new papillary thyroid carcinoma marker 373-E1 in various thyroid lesions and normal thyroid tissue. FTL-B was obtained by affinity chromatography and biotinilated. CK19, GAL3 and HBME-1 were obtained from Novocastra Laboratories, Ltd., UK and 373-E1 from Labvision, UK. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded thyroid tissues were used to build tissue macro-arrays that were cut at 2 Âm and stained using FTL-B, CK19, GAL3, HBME-1 and 373-E1 by strepABC-HRP method. The cases included papillary carcinoma (90), follicular carcinoma (6), HÃrthle cell carcinoma (2), anaplastic carcinoma (4), nodal metastasis of papillary carcinoma (6), HÃrthle cell adenoma (2), follicular adenoma (3), goiter (4) and Hashimotoâs thyroiditis (3). There was no staining on benign thyroid lesions or normal thyroid tissue using FTL-B or the usual markers. Papillary carcinoma and metastasis from papillary carcinoma showed strong membranar stain using FTL-B. FTL-B and the usual markers showed similar binding pattern suggesting that FTL-B could be used as a thyroid tumoral marker similar to GAL3, CK19, HBME-1 and 373-E1.
