Orientador: Cleverton Roberto de Andrade / Resumo: O terpinen-4-ol (TP-4-ol) é um monoterpeno que constitui de 30-48% dos quimiotipos de óleos essenciais de plantas, como a Melaleuca alternifólia, laranjeira, pimenteira entre outras, apresentando propriedade anti-inflamatória, anticancerígena entre outras, caracterizadas como agentes quimiopreventivos e citoprotetores, respectivamente, contra as lesões com potencial de malignização e/ou malignas (LPMM) de língua e as hepato ou nefrotoxicidade. Sendo assim, o objetivo de nosso estudo foi avaliar o TP-4-ol quanto às propriedades quimiopreventivas sobre LPMM de língua e citoprotetoras ou citotóxicas sobre o fígado e rim de ratos quimicamente induzidos por óxido de 4-nitroquinolina (4-NQO). Além disso, avaliamos o TP-4-ol quanto ao seu potencial indutor de hepato e nefrotoxicidade em ratos saudáveis. Os 64 ratos foram divididos aleatoriamente para o experimento de 16 semanas, nos grupo 1 ratos saudáveis ou grupo 2 ratos oncológicos de língua (n=8) e os grupos de intervenções com [g/Kg de TP-4-ol] ratos saudáveis tratados [0,035] do grupo 3 e [0,0035] grupo 4, ratos oncológicos tratados [0,035] do grupo 5 e [0,0035] grupo 6 (n=12). Foram analisados os parâmetros biométricos (peso do corpo, língua, fígado e rim; consumo de água e ração); bioquímicos do fígado (alanina aminotransferase, aspartato aminotransferase, fosfatase alcalina) e rim (ureia e creatinina); macroscópicos da língua (tamanho e lesões fundamentais), fígado e rim (tamanho); e microscópicos da língu...

Several studies have been carried out to establish biologic behaviour criteria of this neoplasm. Thus, the purpose of this experiment was to performe a clinic, morphologic and immunohistochemical analysis, by the expression of cytokeratins 7, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 19 in 30 cases of tongue squamous cell carcinoma from the files of Dr. Luiz Ant?nio Hospital (Natal-RN). It was verifeid of the immunoexpression the correlation clinic estadiament and histologic gradation system proposed by Bryne (1998), in order to investigate the use of these intermediate filaments as an indicator of tumour progression. Data was collected from the patients file and it was observed that information regarding sex, age and race was resemble to the literature. Data obtained from disease evolution, clinic estadiament, metastasis and expression of cytokeratins 7, 10, 13, 14, 16 and 19 was submited to statistical analysis (Test K2), which showed that only the histologic gradation didn t demonstrated significant correlation to the clinic variables. The expression the cytokeratins presented variation in the analysed tumours. CK 10 expression showed significant correlation to metastasis, and the presence of CK 16 was related to disease evolution (obit/remission) and also with the T3 and T4 of TNM. These results evidenced that metastasis and TNM showed a good efficacy as a prognostic indicator. The histologic gradation proposed by Bryne (1998) didn t reflect the biologic behaviour of the studied tongue squamous cell carcinoma, and the analysis of some intermediate filaments of cytokeratins seems to reflect the biologic behaviour and agressivity of some oral squamous cell carcinoma / O carcinoma epiderm?ide oral ? a neoplasia maligna mais freq?ente na cavidade oral. Muitas pesquisas desenvolvidas visam estabelecer crit?rios que determinem o comportamento biol?gico dessa neoplasia, assim, objetivou-se com esse trabalho realizar uma an?lise cl?nica, morfol?gica e imuno-histoqu?mica atrav?s da express?o das citoqueratinas 7, 10, 13, 14, 16 e 19 em 30 casos de carcinoma epiderm?ide de l?ngua retirados dos arquivos do Hospital Dr. Luiz Ant?nio (Natal-RN), correlacionando essa express?o ao estadiamento cl?nico e grada??o histol?gica de malignidade proposto por Bryne (1998), com o intuito de verificar a utiliza??o destes filamentos intermedi?rios como indicadores de progress?o tumoral. Ap?s a an?lise cl?nica das informa??es contidas nos prontu?rios desses pacientes verificamos que os dados referentes a sexo, idade e ra?a se assemelham aos da literatura pertinente. Os dados obtidos em rela??o ao desfecho da doen?a, estadiamento cl?nico, presen?a de met?stase, grada??o histol?gica de malignidade, e express?o das citoqueratinas 7, 10, 13, 14, 16 e 19 foram submetidos a an?lise estat?stica (teste Qui2), observando-se que somente a grada??o histol?gica de malignidade n?o apresentou correla??o significativa com as vari?veis cl?nicas estudadas. A express?o dessas citoqueratinas foi variada nos tumores analisados. A express?o da CK 10 mostrou correla??o estatisticamente significativa com a presen?a de met?stase, a presen?a da CK 16 correlacionou-se ao desfecho da doen?a (?bito/remiss?o) e ainda aos est?gios III e IV do TNM. Esses resultados evidenciaram que a met?stase e o estadiamento cl?nico (TNM) mostraram boa efetividade como indicadores de progn?stico. O sistema de grada??o histol?gica de malignidade proposto por Bryne (1998) n?o refletiu o comportamento biol?gico dos carcinomas epiderm?ides de l?ngua estudados, e a an?lise de alguns filamentos intermedi?rios de citoqueratinas parece refletir o comportamento biol?gico e agressividade dos carcinomas epiderm?ides orais

Abstract Tissue repair and cancer progression involve similar mechanisms, including degradation of extracellular matrix in which matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) play essential roles. The action of MMPs is important in normal physiological processes but MMPs also contribute to various pathological conditions. MMP-8 belongs to a family of collagenases with a diverse set of substrates. MMP-8 action is involved in skin wound healing and in various human cancers. The function of MMP-8 in cancer appears to be highly complex and varies depending on the cancer type and location. Little is known about the involvement of MMP-8 in oral physiology and pathology. The aim of this study was to clarify the role of MMP-8 in oral tissue repair and oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). Studies with MMP-8 deficient mice revealed that the function of MMP-8 in tissue repair is highly dependent on the spatial aspects. In alveolar bone, MMP-8 increased inflammation and affected collagen metabolism. In tongue wounds, MMP-8 impaired early healing and reduced transforming growth factor (TGF) -β1 levels. This study also revealed the protective role of MMP-8 in OTSCC patients, in agreement with previous studies indicating positive features of MMP-8 in cancer. Low MMP-8 level and high vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -C levels in tumors correlated with worse prognosis in these patients. In mouse tongue fibroblast cell cultures, MMP-8 reduced TGF-β1 signaling molecule phosphorylated Smad2 levels and impaired the collagen contraction ability. TGF-β1, apoptosis factor Fas-ligand (Fas-L) and estrogen receptors (ERs) were identified as novel MMP-8 substrates. In OTSCC cell cultures, MMP-8 impaired cell migration and invasion. Diminished TGF-β1 levels were involved in the defective migration of MMP-8 overexpressing cells. Moreover, MMP-8 affected the expression of MMP-9, MMP-1, cathepsin-K, VEGF-C and TGF-β1. In mouse models of OTSCC, MMP-8 protected against tumor development but was not able to prevent metastasis formation. The main findings of this study were that 1) MMP-8 action in tissue repair depends on the site of the injury and 2) in OTSCC, MMP-8 has tumor suppressive effects, but in mouse, MMP-8 does not inhibit metastasis formation. In addition, 3) four novel MMP-8 substrates (TGF-β1, Fas-L, ER-α and -β) were identified that may explain the spatial and diverse roles of MMP-8. / Tiivistelmä Kudosvaurioiden paranemiseen ja syövän etenemiseen liittyy useita samankaltaisia mekanismeja. Molemmissa toimivat soluvälitilan muokkaamiseen osallistuvat proteaasit, joista matriksin metalloproteinaaseilla (MMP) on tärkeä merkitys; ne osallistuvat lukuisiin elimistön keskeisiin fysiopatologisiin prosesseihin. Kollagenaasi MMP-8 muokkaa monentyyppisiä molekyylejä. Se on mukana ihohaavan paranemisessa ja useissa syövissä. MMP-8:n toiminta syöpätiloissa on hyvin moninainen riippuen syöpätyypistä ja sijainnista. Väitöstutkimuksessa selvitettiin MMP-8:n merkitystä suun kova- ja pehmytkudosvaurioprosesseissa sekä kielisyövässä, joissa se on ollut tuntematon. MMP-8 poistogeenisillä hiirillä tehdyissä pehmyt- ja kovakudoshaavoissa MMP-8:n vaikutusmekanismit riippuivat kohdekudoksesta. Alveoliluun paranemisen yhteydessä MMP-8 lisäsi tulehdusta ja osallistui kollageenin muokkaamiseen. Akuutin kielihaavan paranemisessa MMP-8 hidasti haavan umpeutumista ja vähensi transformoivan kasvutekijä-β1:n (TGF-β1) määrää. Kuten useissa muissakin syövissä, myös kielisyövässä todettiin MMP-8:lla olevan suojaava vaikutus. Potilaan ennuste huononi, jos kasvainsolukon matala MMP-8-taso yhdistyi korkeaan verisuonten kasvutekijä-C:n (VEGF-C) määrään. Hiiren kielen normaaleissa fibroblastiviljelmissä MMP-8 vähensi TGF-β1:n solunsisäistä signalointia välittävän fosforyloidun Smad2:n määrää sekä solujen kykyä supistaa kollageenikiekkoja. Koeputkessa MMP-8 pilkkoi TGF-β1:tä, estrogeenireseptoreja (ER) ja apoptoositekijä Fas-ligandia (Fas-L). Ihmisen kielikarsinoomasoluviljelmissä korkea MMP-8:n määrä vähensi solujen migraatiota ja invaasiota sekä muutti MMP-1:n, MMP-9:n, katepsiini-K:n, TGF-β1:n ja VEGF-C:n ilmentymistä. Migraation heikentyminen MMP-8:aa tuottavissa soluissa johtui osin vähentyneestä TGF-β1:n määrästä. Hiiren kokeellisissa kielisyövissä MMP-8 hidasti syövän muodostumista mutta ei estänyt etäpesäkkeiden muodostusta. Tässä väitöskirjatutkimuksessa on kolme päälöydöstä: 1) MMP-8:n vaikutus kudoksen paranemisprosessiin riippuu vauriokohdasta, 2) MMP-8 on kielisyövän kehittymisessä puolustuksellinen molekyyli, mutta sen lisääntynyt tuotto ei hiirikokeissa estänyt etäpesäkkeiden muodostusta, 3) MMP-8:lle löydettiin neljä uutta kohdemolekyyliä (TGF-β1, Fas-L, ER-α ja -β), joiden muokkaus saattaa osin selittää MMP-8:n monipuoliset kudos- ja prosessispesifit vaikutukset.

L’inclusion récente de la profondeur d’invasion (PI) dans la classification des carcinomes épidermoïdes de la cavité orale de l’American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) a des répercussions cliniques majeures. Plusieurs études ont récemment évalué la fiabilité de diverses modalités d’imagerie et techniques de biopsie pour mesurer la PI en préopératoire. L’objectif premier de ce mémoire est de réviser systématiquement la littérature et comparer les différentes méthodes décrites de mesure de PI en préopératoire pour les carcinomes épidermoïdes de la langue mobile. Le second objectif est d’étudier la précision et la fiabilité de la mesure de PI sur une biopsie au poinçon dans les carcinomes épidermoïdes de stade in situ (Tis)-T1-T2, N0 de la langue mobile. Une revue systématique a été effectuée en suivant le guide PRISMA[1]. Les études évaluant la fiabilité de la PI mesurée sur la biopsie ou l’imagerie médicale, en les comparant à la PI histopathologique finale, ont été inclues dans une méta-analyse afin d’obtenir des coefficients de corrélation combinés pour chaque modalité d’imagerie. L’imagerie par résonnance magnétique (IRM) s’est avérée être la modalité d’imagerie la mieux étudiée et présente une bonne fiabilité. Le computed tomography (CT) scan est peu étudié, mais semble moins fiable. L’échographie linguale ne peut être comparée à ces deux modalités d’imagerie car elle est plus fréquemment utilisée pour mesurer l’épaisseur tumorale que la PI. La seconde étude est une preuve de concept prospective. Un poinçon profond a été utilisé pour échantillonner la portion la plus profonde de carcinomes épidermoïdes de la langue mobile de stade Tis-T1-2, N0 chez 27 patients. Des coefficients de corrélation de Spearman ont été calculés entre la PI estimée à la palpation manuelle, mesurée à la biopsie, et à l’histopathologie. La sensibilité et la spécificité de la biopsie au poinçon pour distinguer le Tis du carcinome épidermoïde invasif ont été calculées. Bien que la PI mesurée à la biopsie ne corrèle pas fortement avec la PI histopathologique, cette preuve de concept est limitée par la taille d’échantillon. La biopsie au poinçon semble toutefois être un outil fiable pour distinguer le Tis de l’invasif. D’autres études sont nécessaires avant de pouvoir recommander l’utilisation systématique de la biopsie pour décider en préopératoire si un évidement cervical électif est nécessaire. / The inclusion of depth of invasion (DOI) in the American Joint Committee on Cancer’s staging system for oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) has major clinical impacts. Recent studies have evaluated the reliability of imaging modalities and biopsy techniques to measure DOI preoperatively. The first objective of this master’s thesis is to systematically review and compare the preoperative DOI measurement methods that have been studied so far in oral tongue SCC (OTSCC). The second objective is to prospectively study the precision and reliability of punch biopsy to measure DOI preoperatively in early (in situ (Tis)-T1-T2, N0) OTSCC, and its ability to distinguish Tis from invasive carcinoma. A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Studies that evaluated the reliability of DOI measured on biopsy or imaging (rDOI) by comparing it to DOI on histopathology (pDOI) were included in a meta-analysis to obtain pooled correlation coefficients for each imaging modality. Overall, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the better studied modality. It has a good reliability to measure preoperative rDOI in OTSCC. CT is less studied but appears to be less reliable. Ultrasound (US) cannot be compared to these imaging modality as it has been used more often to measure tumor thickness (TT) than DOI. The second study is a prospective proof-of-concept. A deep punch biopsy was used to sample tumors preoperatively in the deepest part of the tumor in 27 patients with early (Tis-T12, N0) oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma. Spearman’s correlations were calculated between DOI measured on digital palpation (cDOI), biopsy (bDOI) and final pDOI. The sensitivity and specificity of punch biopsy to distinguish Tis from invasive carcinoma was also calculated. Although bDOI does not seem to correlate strongly with pDOI, this proof-of-concept was limited by a small sample size. Punch biopsy appears to be a reliable tool to distinguish Tis from invasive carcinoma. Further studies on punch biopsy are needed to recommend its use to evaluate pDOI preoperatively and determine whether elective neck dissection is necessary in early OTSCC.
