Abstract Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the mobile tongue is the most common type of cancer of the oral cavity, accounting for 30-40% of oral cancers. It behaves aggressively and almost half of the affected patients still die of the disease despite great advances in its medical and surgical care. Ameloblastomas are the most common clinically significant type of odontogenic tumors, constituting approximately 1% of all cysts and tumors of the jaw. They are benign but locally invasive tumors with a strong tendency to recur after surgery. Ameloblastic carcinoma combines the histological features of ameloblastoma with cytologic atypia irrespective of the presence or absence of metastasis. The effectiveness of tight junction proteins (claudins 1, 4, 5, 7 and occludin) and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) as prognostic markers in OTSCC and as markers of malignancy in ameloblastomas was studied. Abundance of CAFs and Claudin 7 derangement was found to be associated with poor disease-specific survival in oral (mobile) tongue cancer. Appearance of CAFs within the epithelial islands of ameloblastoma was found to be a marker of malignancy in the tumor. The prognostic predictability of CAF density, Ki-67 (cell proliferation marker), maspin (tumor suppressor marker) and tumor DNA content (tumor ploidy using image cytometry) in tongue cancers was also tested. CAF density was the only marker strongly predictive of prognosis. In ameloblastomas, α-SMA (for CAFs), Ki-67, epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and DNA content (using image and flow cytometry) were assessed as markers of ameloblastic carcinoma. Only α-SMA was able to predict ameloblastic carcinoma when found in the epithelial islands. In conclusion, staining for α-SMA and claudin 7 seems to be beneficial for prognostication in tongue cancer, while α-SMA staining may be beneficial in differentiating ameloblastoma from ameloblastic carcinoma.

This thesis focuses on the effects of the human papillomavirus (HPV) in tonsillar cancer, mobile tongue cancer, and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). The purpose was to characterize patients with RRP in northern Sweden in order to identify more care-intensive RRP patients and to describe the voice and quality of life aspects that follow RRP. Further aims were to confirm the expected increase of HPV-positive tonsillar cancer cases in northern Sweden, and to study the correlation between HPV, its surrogate marker p16 and HPV receptor syndecan-1 in both tonsillar cancer and mobile tongue cancer. A total of 27 consecutive patients with RRP were evaluated at 3 months postoperatively using the voice handicap index (VHI) and SF-36 questionnaires to assess the impact on life and voice in a RRP population. The values were compared to normative data. This report was further extended by examining consecutive data from 21 new patients in order to characterize RRP patients in northern Sweden. In order to study HPV DNA in tonsillar (n= 65) and mobile tongue cancer (n=109), HPV DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded biopsies and detected by polymerase chain reaction using general primers Gp5+/6+ and CpI/IIG. Expression of HPV surrogate marker p16 and the HPV receptor syndecan-1 was analysed by immunohistochemistry. Patients that underwent more than one RRP surgery per year were younger than those treated less frequently and they had significantly impaired voice quality as compared to normal subjects. Females, patients with frequent surgical treatment sessions, and patients with the high-risk HPV subtypes scored significantly lower in several domains of the quality of life assessment as compared with normal subjects. Forty-eight RRP patients had a median age of 44.5 years; 71% were men and 29% females, preferentially infected with HPV6. Patients with high surgical treatment frequency/year showed more widespread RRP in the larynx compared to the patients treated less frequently. A total of 214 tonsillar cancer cases were identified. The vast majority were men. They had a median age of 58 years at diagnosis and expressed HPV as well as p16. The incidence of tonsillar cancer revealed a 2,7-fold increase in men between the years 1990 and 2013. The study demonstrates a strong association between p16 and HPV infection in tonsillar malignancies. These findings are in contrast to the mobile tongue cancer cases, where no evidence of HPV DNA could be detected although one-third showed p16 staining. This demonstrated a poor correlation between HPV and p16 in mobile tongue cancer. There was no difference in the expression of the primary HPV receptor, syndecan-1, between tonsillar and mobile tongue cancer. In conclusion, the frequency of RRP operations, age at onset, gender and subtype of the HPV may be used as factors to predict voice disability. RRP patients with high surgical treatment frequency were significantly younger and had a more widespread laryngeal disease compared to the low-frequency treated group. This study confirms the existence of a clinical RRP group, not primarily related to HPV subtype, but to a more care-intensive RRP population. Our findings identify a 2,7-fold increase in the incidence of tonsillar cancer, HPV and p16 in men between 1990-2013. We can use p16 to detect HPV in tonsillar cancer but not in tongue cancer. The introduction of vaccination against HPV may have a role in the prevention of specific HPV-subtype positive head and neck malignancies and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis since the current vaccine protects against HPV6, 11, 16, 18, 31, 33, 45, 52 and 58. Males will definitely benefit indirectly from vaccination of females, though males will still remain at risk of cancers associated with HPV. This highlights the need for sex-neutral vaccination strategy. Our intention is that this thesis will provide scientific data to support a gender-neutral vaccination and to develop simple tools to detect HPV in tonsillar cancer. / Syftet med avhandlingen är att beskriva effekterna av humant papillomvirus (HPV) vid cancer i halsmandlarna, cancer i tungan och vid luftvägspapillom. Totalt 27 patienter med luftvägspapillom (RRP) under åren 2004-2012 utvärderades 3 månader efter operationen med röst handikapp index (VHI) och livskvalitetformuläret SF-36. Resultaten jämfördes med normal data. Studiematerialet utökades med 21 patienter till totalt 48 RRP patienter i syfte att karakterisera patientgruppen i norra Sverige. För att studera HPV-DNA i tonsillcancer (n = 65) och i cancer i mobil del av tungan (n = 109) extraherades HPV-DNA från paraffininbäddade provbitar som sedan analyserades med PCR teknik och GP5 + / 6 + och CPI/IIG primer. Uttryck av surrogatmarkör p16 och HPV-receptorn syndekan -1 analyserades med immunhistokemi. RRP patienter hade en medianålder på 44,5 år; 71% var män och 29% kvinnor, företrädesvis infekterade med HPV6. Patienter som opererades mer än en gång per år var yngre än de som behandlats mindre ofta och hade en statistiskt sämre röstkvalitet än friska kontroller. Kvinnor, patienter med täta kirurgiska behandlingsintervall och högrisk-HPV hade signifikant sämre livskvalitet jämfört med friska kontroller. Patienter med hög kirurgisk behandlingsfrekvens per år var signifikant yngre och hade mer utbredd RRP sjukdom i luftstrupen, jämfört med gruppen med låg behandlingsfrekvens. Sammanlagt, 214 fall av halsmandelscancer identifierades i norra Sverige under åren 1990-2013; majoriteten var män, med en medianålder på 58 år och positiva för både HPV och p16. Andelen halsmandelscancer fall ökade med 2,7 gånger bland männen på 23 år. Vi fann ett starkt samband mellan uttryck av p16 och HPV infektion i halsmandelscancer men inte i HPV-negativ, delvis p16-positiv (33%) mobil tungcancer. Det fanns ingen skillnad i uttrycket av den primära HPV-receptorn, syndekan -1, jämförande tung-, och halsmandelscancer. Antalet RRP operationer, ålder vid insjuknandet, kön och genetisk variant av HPV kan användas som indikatorer för att förutsäga grad av röststörning. RRP patienter med hög kirurgisk behandlingsfrekvens var signifikant yngre och hade en mer utbredd luftvägssjukdom jämfört med RRP patienter som behandlas mindre ofta. Vi har identifierat en undergrupp av RRP patienter som inte primärt karakteriseras efter HPV virusets genetik utan av ett mer vårdintensivt förlopp. Den aktuella avhandlingen har identifierat en 2,7-faldig ökning av antalet halsmandelscancer hos män och ett starkt samband mellan p16 och HPV infektion i halsmandlar men inte i HPV-negativ tungcancer som inte korrelerar till p16 uttryck. Vi kan använda p16 för att påvisa HPV i tonsillcancer men inte i cancer i mobil tunga. Idag ingår HPV vaccination i det allmänna vaccinationsprogrammet för flickor. Vi förväntar oss en tydlig profylaktisk effekt avseende insjuknande i HPV-relaterad huvud- och hals cancer samt luftvägspapillom eftersom vaccinet skyddar mot HPV bl.a. 6, 11, 16 och 18. Män kommer definitivt att gynnas indirekt genom vaccination av kvinnor men kommer att ha fortsatt högre risk än kvinnor att insjukna i HPV relaterad cancer vilket understryker behovet av könsneutral vaccination. Vår avsikt med avhandlingen är att ge vetenskapligt stöd för könsneutralt vaccination och enkla metoder att påvisa halsmandelscancer.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Francisco Pereira Borges Filho.pdf: 377994 bytes, checksum: 8fad9d0fa2eb6d066183d54225e6aeab (MD5) Previous issue date: 2009-05-05 / INTRODUCTION: The polymorphism at codon 72, proline (p53P) or arginine (p53R) is involved in the ability of p53 to interact with cellular proteins. Several authors have shown that the presence of genotype p53RR confers greater risk of developing tumors. OBJETIVE: To assess the allelic frequency of genetic polymorphism in codon 72 in TP53 gene in samples obtained from patients diagnosed with squamous carcinoma of base of the tongue treated at the Hospital Araújo Jorge and Associação de Combate ao Câncer em Goiás (ACCG)between 1990 and 2006. Evaluate the genetic predisposition for Base of Tongue Cancer linked of TP53 polimorphism, by identififyin of the presence or absence of the alleles p53R and/or p53P alleles in patients with this pathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study is a casecontrol retrospective in nature, was conducted at Núcleo de Pesquisas Replicon of the Universidade Católica de Goiás in conjunction with the Hospital Araújo Jorge. We evaluated 54 patients with squamous carcinoma of the base of the tongue and 186 individuals without cancer. These were matched regarding gender, age, and the group of cases was evaluated clinical stage and smoking, alcohol consumption. The genotypes p53R and p53P were determined by PCR, using specific primers. RESULTS: The allele frequencies for p53R in cases and controls were 75.9% and 74.2%, while the p53P were 24.1% and 25.8% respectively. There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.79) in allele frequencies between the two groups, suggesting that the polymorphism of codon 72 of TP53 is not a risk factor for susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue base. CONCLUSION: The study does not find relationship between p53R and CCO carcinogenesis when compared sex, age and color. / INTRODUÇÃO: O polimorfismo no códon 72, prolina (p53P) ou arginina (p53R) está envolvido na habilidade da p53 em interagir com as proteínas celulares. Vários autores têm demonstrado que a presença do genótipo p53RR confere maior risco de desenvolvimento de tumores. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a freqüência alélica do polimorfismo genético no códon 72 do gene p53 em amostras obtidas de pacientes diagnosticados com Carcinoma Escamoso de Base de Língua atendidos no Hospital Araújo Jorge, da Associação de Combate ao Câncer em Goiás (ACCG), entre os anos de 1999 e 2006. Avaliar a predisposição genética do câncer de base da língua relacionada ao polimorfismo de TP53, através da identificação da presença ou não dos alelos p53R e/ou p53P nos pacientes com esta patologia. MATERIAIS E METODOS: O presente estudo é do tipo caso-controle de caráter retrospectivo, foi realizado no Núcleo de Pesquisas Replicon da Universidade Católica de Goiás em conjunto com o Hospital Araújo Jorge. Foram avaliados 54 pacientes com carcinoma escamoso de base da língua e em 186 indivíduos sem câncer. Estes foram pareados quanto ao sexo, idade e no grupo caso, foram avaliados o estádio clínico e hábitos de etilismo e tabagismo. A genotipagem dos alelos p53R e p53P foi determinada por PCR, utilizando-se primers específicos. RESULTADOS: As freqüências alélicas para p53R nos casos e controles foram de 75,9% e 74,2%, enquanto que de p53P foram de 24,1% e 25,8%, respectivamente. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (p = 0,79) nas freqüências alélicas entre os dois grupos analisados, sugerindo que o polimorfismo do códon 72 de TP53 não seja um fator de risco de susceptibilidade ao carcinoma escamoso de base da língua. CONCLUSÃO: Não foi observada associação entre a variante p53R e o desenvolvimento da carcinogênese de CCO de base da língua, segundo o sexo, idade e etnia.

Brachytherapy (BT) with continuous low dose rate (LDR) has been used for 100 years and is considered as the radiotherapy method able to deliver a dose in the shortest time with high efficacy and low risk of side effects. The drawbacks are need for patient isolation and radiation exposure of the staff during the treatment. Brenner and Hall published the radiobiology concept for pulsed dose rate (PDR) in 1991.  Short (10-20 minutes), hourly pulses of high dose rate (HDR) given to the same dose, with same overall treatment time will virtually simulate continuous LDR. At the same time new afterloading machine technology became available, where a single millimetre sized radiation 192Iridium source sequentially moves through the applicator in small individually timed steps. The advantages are that the radiation dose can be optimized along the applicator and with no radiation exposure of the staff and no need for patient isolation more than during the pulse. This work deals with four different aspects of PDR BT An experimental comparison of measured absorbed doses outside a left sided breast target on a body equivalent Alderson phantom was made.  Five external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) whole breast treatments to 50 Gy versus five accelerated partial breast irradiations (APBI) by PDR BT to 50 Gy were studied. The absorbed doses were measured in 67 different positions inside the body phantom by thermoluminescence dosimeters. The result shows that dose points distant to the left breast will have 1-1.4 % of the prescribed dose with no difference between EBRT and PDR BT. Organs at risk in short distance (<5 cm) to the target (such as parts of the left lung, heart muscle and the right breast) will have significantly less dose by PDR BT. In conclusion PDR BT has dosimetric advantages close to the target compared to EBRT and cannot do more damage to remote organs. PDR APBI as the adjuvant RT treatment to breast conserving surgery after early breast cancer was studied. Between 1994-2004 we treated 50 women and 51 breasts. The median age of the population was 53 (40-72) years. The cases were radically resected, unifocal T1-2N0-1M0 tumours. PDR BT was given to a dose of 50 Gy for 5 days directed to the operated sector of the breast. The median treated volume was 160 cm3, constituting in median 31 % of the breast volume. The treatment is called accelerated because total treatment time is 5 days compared to 5 weeks for EBRT. After a median follow-up of 130 months (>10 years) we noted 5 (10 %) local recurrences in the treated breast. Four of these recurrences were outside the treated volume. Three women (6 %) developed cancers in the other breast. Early side effects were mild and less than with EBRT. As late side effects we found mild to moderate local fibroses in the treated volume. A cosmetic evaluation was done by both the patient and a nurse and was found to be lower than in other published data (56 % = good to excellent). The 10 years local failure rate is similar to the result from a large Swedish randomized study on whole breast radiotherapy to 50 Gy. The study indicates that PDR BT is highly effective. A combination of EBRT (40.8 Gy) and PDR boost (35 Gy) to T1-4N0-3M0, base of tongue (BOT) cancer, treated during 1994-2007 was analyzed. The study is the first with PDR and second largest with BT worldwide. A number of 83 patients with a median age of 60 (38-82) years were included. BT was given to a mean volume of 58 ccm 2 days after the neck dissection. Median follow-up was 54 months. At 5 years we found 89 % local tumour control, 95 % neck control, 80 % disease free survival and an overall survival of 65 %. Late side effects were 13 % minor transient soft tissue necrosis and 12 % long lasting or permanent soft tissue- or osteoradio-necrosis. The results are among the best published worldwide. An extensive quality of life analysis was done on 45 patients at last follow-up and showed limited, persistent xerostomia and dysphagia. The global quality of life was rated good in 75 % of the patients. The last study presented was PDR mono-brachytherapy (55-60 Gy) to cancer of the lip (T1-3N0M0). The study included 43 patients with a median age of 74 (37-92) years. The treatment time was 5.5-6 days and the mean treated volume was 15 ccm. The median follow-up time was 54 (1-158) months. Five year Kaplan-Meier data showed, local control 94 %, disease free survival 86 % and overall survival 59 %. An early side effect was a strong radiation mucositis and dermatitis, which healed in 1 month. Late side effects were uncommon and the cosmetic appearance and the lip function were found to be normal. Our data in total and per T-stage was compared to a European survey from 1993 on 2794 patients treated by LDR BT. The results are similar and are a strong indication of equal efficacy between PDR and LDR.

Abstract Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) are linked to the invasion of oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC). We modified THP-1 leukemia cells to M1 (inflammatory), M2 (TAM-like) and R848 (imidazoquinoline-treated) type macrophages in order to examine their interactions with OTSCC-cells (HSC-3) by using different kinds of in vitro migration and invasion models. We observed that interaction of TAM-resembling M2-type macrophages with HSC-3 cells induced invasion and migration, whereas the influence of M1 macrophages reduced them. Patient response to chemoradiotherapy is highly reliant on the characteristics such as the aggressiveness and stage of the cancer. Therefore, new methods for treatment testing are needed in order to design personalized therapies. We tested the applicability and consistency of human TME mimicking tissue methods for analyzing the effects of chemoradiation using commercial OTSCC cell lines. Based on our trials, both our human uterine leiomyoma tissue -based matrix models provide viable platforms for future in vitro chemoradiotherapy testing. Conventionally pro-tumorigenic activities of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)9 have been linked with oral squamous cell carcinoma, but recently its tumor-suppressor role has also been revealed. Our study provides strong evidence that MMP9 also has an anti-invasive effect in OTSCC and is a potential mediator of the protective effects of arresten in tongue cancer cells. / Tiivistelmä Makrofageilla on yhteys kielen levyepiteelikarsinooman invaasioon eli syöpäkasvaimen tunkeutumiseen ympäröivään kudokseen. Tutkimuksessamme muokkasimme ihmisen THP-1 leukemiasoluja kemiallisesti tulehdusreittejä aktivoiviksi M1-makrofageiksi, kasvaimeen liittyvien makrofagien kaltaisiksi M2-makrofageiksi sekä imidatsokinoliini-käsitellyiksi R848-makrofageiksi. Tarkoituksenamme oli tutkia makrofagien ja kielisyöpäsolujen vuorovaikutuksia erilaisilla in vitro migraatio- ja invaasiomalleilla. Anti-inflammatoristen, syövän etenemistä edesauttavien TAM-makrofagien kaltaisiksi erilaistetut M2-tyypin makrofagit lisäsivät HSC-3 kielikarsinoomasolujen invaasiota ja migraatiota, kun taas M1-tyypin makrofagien vaikutus oli päinvastainen. Potilaan vaste kemosädehoitoon riippuu syöpäkasvaimen ominaisuuksista, kuten syöpäsolujen aggressiivisuudesta ja syövän levinneisyysasteesta. Tämän vuoksi on tarve uusille menetelmille, joiden avulla voidaan ottaa huomioon potilaan sekä syöpätyypin yksilölliset ominaisuudet hoitoa suunniteltaessa. Testasimme syöpäkasvaimen mikroympäristöä mallintavien, ihmiskudokseen perustuvien menetelmien käyttökelpoisuutta ja luotettavuutta kemosädehoidon vaikutusten arvioimiseen. Testiemme perusteella myoomakudokseen pohjautuvat menetelmät voivat auttaa kemosädehoidon vaikutusten testauksessa. Matriksin metalloproteinaasi (MMP) 9:n on pitkään uskottu olevan yksinomaan syövän etenemistä edesauttava molekyyli. Viimeaikaisissa tutkimuksissa on myös havaittu, että MMP9:llä voi olla syövältä suojaavia vaikutuksia. Tutkimme MMP9:n vaikutusta kielisyöpäsoluihin ja havaitsimme, että MMP9:llä on myös invaasiota hillitseviä vaikutuksia. Lisäksi MMP9 saattaa toimia verisuonten muodostumista estävän arresten-molekyylin syövältä suojaavien mekanismien välittäjänä.

Abstract Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is the most common cancer of the oral cavity. The 5-year mortality of OTSCC remains at about 50%. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is now recognized as an important factor in cancer progression and metastasis, as well as a tool for prognostication. The aim of this study was to elucidate the roles of TME hypoxia and soluble factors on cancer cell migration and invasion, and the prognostic value of two extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules: tenascin-C (TNC) and fibronectin (FN). Hypoxia was studied using oral squamous cell carcinoma cells in migration and invasion assays. Invasion assays were carried out using a 3D-myoma invasion method. Similarly, the effect of soluble factors as well as ECM alterations were studied using the myoma model: the effect of soluble factors was studied by rinsing the myoma discs prior to experiments, and ECM alterations by lyophilizing and rehydrating. ECM was further studied by analyzing the prognostic value of TNC and FN from OTSCC samples. The effect of hypoxia was shown to be OTSCC cell line dependent: the effect of hypoxia on migration and invasion was increased in aggressive cell lines. Additionally, the response to hypoxia was altered in rinsed tissue. Tissue rinsing media were analyzed and factors affecting cell motility were found. The TME was found to be pivotal for cancer invasion: invasion was impaired in non-neoplastic tissue. Furthermore, changes in the ECM by lyophilization and rehydration led to a change in the invasion mechanism. High expression of stromal TNC and FN were excellent prognosticators in early-stage OTSCC. In conclusion, the present study highlighted the role of various TME components in cancer cell invasion as well as prognostication in OTSCC. Additionally, this study provided feasible tools for more precise diagnosis of early-stage OTSCC. / Tiivistelmä Liikkuvan kielen levyepiteelikarsinooma (OTSCC) on suuontelon yleisin syöpä. Viiden vuoden kuolleisuus OTSCC:an on edelleen noin 50 %. Kasvaimen mikroympäristön (TME) tiedetään nykyään olevan tärkeässä roolissa syövän kehityksessä ja etäpesäkkeiden muodostuksessa, sekä tarjoavan työkaluja ennusteiden laadintaan. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää TME:n hypoksian ja liukoisten tekijöiden vaikutusta syöpäsolujen liikkumiseen ja invaasioon ympäröivään kudokseen, sekä tutkia kahden solunulkoisen matriksin (ECM) proteiinin, tenaskiini-C:n (TNC) ja fibronektiinin (FN), vaikutusta OTSCC:n ennusteeseen. Hypoksian vaikutusta tutkittiin käyttäen suun levyepiteelikarsinoomasoluja liikkuvuus- ja invaasiokokeissa. Invaasiokokeissa hyödynnettiin kolmiulotteista ihmisen myoomaan perustuvaa invaasiomallia. Myös liukoisten tekijöiden ja ECM:n muutosten vaikutusten tutkimisessa käytettiin myoomamallia: liukoisten tekijöiden vaikutusta tutkittiin huuhtomalla myoomakiekot ennen niiden käyttämistä, ja ECM:n muutosten vaikutusta kylmäkuivaamalla ja uudelleen nesteyttämällä myoomakiekot. ECM:ia tutkittiin myös analysoimalla TNC:n ja FN:n värjäytyvyyden merkitystä OTSCC:n ennusteessa. Hypoksian vaikutus osoittautui solulinjariippuvaiseksi: hypoksia lisäsi kielisyöpäsolujen liikkuvuutta ja invaasiota eniten aggressiivisimmilla solulinjoilla. Lisäksi solujen vaste hypoksialle oli erilainen huuhdotussa kudoksessa. Huuhteluliuos analysoitiin ja siitä löydettiin solujen liikkumiseen vaikuttavia tekijöitä. TME:n havaittiin olevan ratkaisevassa roolissa syöpäsolujen invaasiossa: syöpäsolut eivät kyenneet invasoitumaan lainkaan ei-neoplastiseen kudokseen. Lisäksi muutosten ECM:ssä havaittiin johtavan muutoksiin solujen käyttämässä invaasion mekanismissa. Strooman TNC:n ja FN:n värjäytyvyyden todettiin olevan erinomaisia ennustekijöitä aikaisen vaiheen OTSCC:ssa. Tiivistettynä voidaan todeta, että tämä tutkimus alleviivasi useiden TME:n komponenttien vaikutusta syövän invaasiolle ja ennusteelle OTSCC:ssä. Lisäksi se tarjoaa käyttökelpoiset työkalut (TNC ja FN) tarkemmalle diagnostiikalle aikaisen vaiheen OTSCC:ssä.
