Immunoexpression of cell cycle regulators in canine prostate with proliferative lesions

Immunostaining of p21, p27, p53, cyclin D1, c-myc was evaluated in normal canine prostate and prostate with proliferative disorders to verify the interaction between these regulators of cell cycle progression. From 106 samples of canine prostate obtained from a TMA block, 15 were considered normal, 16 diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 30 as proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), 20 as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and 25 as prostatic carcinoma (PC). There was positive correlation between p21 and p27 for number of stained cells and staining intensity in all conditions and between c-myc and p53 in prostates with PIN. Considering the number of labeled cells, there was positive correlation between p21 and p53 in the normal prostate. Relative to the intensity of staining, there was positive correlation between p21 and p53 in prostate tissue with PIN and between p27 and c-myc in prostates with PIA. A negative correlation between c-myc and cyclin D1 was also identified in the glands with PIN, considering the number of labeled cells, and between p27 and c-myc in the prostates with PC for staining intensity. In conclusion, the expression of p21, p27, p53, cyclin D1 and c-myc varies according to type of proliferative lesion in canine prostate. Taken together, the results indicate low growth potential of the canine PC in the presence of p21 and p27 overexpression, cyclin D1 low expression and regular expression of c-myc, even with the expression of p53 mutant type. Further, it was possible reaffirm the premalignant potential of PIA and PIN in canine prostate

Termografia infravermelho da superfície abdominal ventral de coelhos (oryctolagus cuniculus) pré e pós-laparorrafia mediana com fios de quitosana ou poliglecaprone / Infrared thermography of ventral abdominal surface of rabbits (oryctolagus cuniculus) pre and post midline laparorrhaphy using chitosan or polyglecaprone yarns

A termografia infravermelha foi utilizada para analisar inflamação, infecção ou trauma capaz de modificar o fluxo sanguíneo em uma região anatômica. Objetiva-se avaliar a temperatura superficial da parede abdominal ventral de coelhos (Oryctolagus cuniculus) pré e pós-laparorrafia com fios de quitosana, ou poliglecaprone, por termografia infravermelho. O experimento foi realizado em duas etapas. Na primeira etapa, foram utilizados sete coelhos machos e sete fêmeas. Neste período, as avaliações durante os períodos matutino e vespertino foram realizadas por dez dias consecutivos. Na segunda etapa, foram utilizados 42 coelhos, alocados em dois grupos com 21 animais cada. Um grupo foi submetido a laparorrafia mediana com sutura de quitosana e o outro com fio de Poliglecaprone 25. Nesta fase, as avaliações termográficas foram iniciadas no primeiro dia de pós-operatório e repetidas diariamente pela manhã. Na fase pré-operatória, as temperaturas da superfície abdominal variaram de 37,69 - 38,38. Em relação ao pós-operatório, notou-se diferença estatística para todas as comparações estudadas: P = 0,0035 entre a primeira e segunda etapas; P = 0,0003 entre os grupos Quitosana e Poliglecaprona. Em conclusão, a temperatura da superfície abdominal de coelhos, avaliada pelo método do infravermelho, varia entre os períodos do dia mesmo em ambiente controlado, e também diverge na reparação tecidual da laparorrafia com suturas de quitosana ou poliglecaprone

Others, such asbenign prostatichyperplasia(BPH) are proliferative, butare not related tomalignancy.The humanPC is the one ofcancers that more kill,and dog`sthe onlyanimal species thatpresentsadiseasewith similarcharacteristics, thishas been usedas a modelfor studyof prostatecancer. Thus, in order tobetter understandthe molecular mechanisms involvedin repairand cell cycleevolution ofproliferative lesionsincanine prostate, this study aimed to evaluatethe gene expression ofErbB1, ErbB2, CDKN1A, CDKN1BandTP53andimmunostaining ofEGFR(Her1), Her2(c-erbB-2), p21, p27and p53 inprostateswithPIAandPC. Also was evaluatedtheimmunostaining ofp21, p27, p53, c-myc andcyclinD1inprostateswith BPH, PIA, PINandPC. For this purpose,wereobtained from atissue microarray (TMA)block, 106samplesofcanineprostate tissue, which 15 normal, 16with BPH, 30 withPIA, 20 with PIN, and 25with CP. The RT-PCR andRT-qPCR techniques wereused to evaluategene expression, as well as immunohistochemistrywas used to determinetheimmunophenotypeofprostatic lesions. As forEGFRand Her2has beenobserved that thesereceptorsactin canine lesions withPIA and with PCan importantaction ofHer2, suggesting that theyare involvedin carcinogenesisandtumor development in canineprostate. Regarding to cellcycleinhibitor concludethat whenoverexpressedin canine prostateswithPIAandPC, p21andp27control cellproliferation, acting as a protective factorin the evolution of PIA to PC, and in the PC development, even in the presence of altereted p53. In assessing ofimmunostaining ofcell cycle regulators(p21, p27, p53, cyclinD1andc-myc) in canineprostateswithproliferative lesionswas observedthatcarcinomas probably have lowgrowth potentialwhenoverexpressed of p21andp27, reduced expression of cyclinD1and unalteredexpression ofc-myc, even in the presence ofmutant p53type.Further,considering thesimilarimmunophenotypein canine glands with PIA, PINandPC considered the regulatorsofcell cycle progression, it is reinforce the pre-malignant potential of PIA andPINin the canineprostate.Algumas lesões displásicas da próstata, como a atrofia inflamatória proliferativa (PIA) e a neoplasia intraepitelial prostática (PIN), são proliferativas, consideradas pré-malignas e podem evoluir para carcinoma prostático (PC). Outras, como a hiperplasia prostática benigna (HPB), apesar de proliferativas, não possuem relação com malignidade. Sendo o PC humano uma das neoplasias que mais matam, e o cão aúnica espécie animal que apresenta a enfermidade com características semelhantes, esta tem sido utilizada como modelo para o estudo do câncer de próstata. Assim, com o intuito de melhor compreender os mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na regulação do ciclo celular e evolução das lesões proliferativas na próstata canina, este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a expressão gênica de ErbB1, ErbB2, CDKN1A, CDKN1B e TP53,e imunomarcação deEGFR (Her1), Her2 (c-erbB-2), p21, p27 e p53 em próstatas com PIA e PC. Também foi avaliada a imunomarcação de p21, p27, p53, cmyc e cyclin D1 em próstatas com HPB, PIA, PIN e PC. Para tal, foram obtidas de um bloco de microarranjo tecidual (TMA) 106 amostras de tecido prostático canino, sendo 15 normais, 16com HBP, 30com PIA, 20com PIN, e25com PC. As técnicas de RT-PCR e RT-qPCR foram empregadas na avaliação da expressão gênica, assim como a técnica de imunoistoquímica foi utilizada para verificar o imunofenótipo das lesões prostáticas. Quanto aos receptores EGFReHer2 foi observado que esses atuam naslesões de PIAePCcanino, com ação importante do receptor Her2, sugerindoqueessesestão envolvidosna carcinogênese e no desenvolvimentotumoral da prostata canina.Em relação aos inibidores do ciclo celular councluiu-se que quando superexpressos em próstatas com PIA e PC, p21 e p27 controlam a proliferação celular, atuando comofator protetivo na evolução da PIA para PC, e no desenvolviemento do PC, mesmo quando da alteração de p53. Na avaliação da imunoexpressão dos reguladores do ciclo celular (p21, p27, p53, ciclina D1 e c-myc) em próstatas caninas com lesões proliferativas foi constatado que os carcinomas possivelmente apresentam baixo potencial de crescimento quando da superexpressãop21 ep27, menor subexpressão de ciclina D1e expressão inalterada de c-myc, mesmo na presença de p53 tipo mutante. Ainda, considerando o imunofenótipo semelhante nas glândulas com PIA, PIN e PC no que se refere aos reguladores daprogressão do ciclo celular, reforça o potencial prémaligno da PIA e PIN na próstata canina

Matrix metalloproteinases 2 and 9 expression in canine normal prostate and with proliferative disorders

Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a expressão das metaloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) e 9 (MMP-9) em próstatas caninas normais e com desordens proliferativas, verificando o papel dessas enzimas na remodelação da matriz extracelular (MEC) e no processo de invasão tecidual. Um total de 355 amostras prostáticas foram obtidas, sendo 36 (10,1%) normais, 46 (13,0%) com hiperplasia prostática benigna (HPB), 128 (36,1%) com atrofia inflamatória proliferativa (PIA), 74 (20,8%) com neoplasia intraepitelial prostática (PIN) e 71 (20,0%) com carcinoma prostático (CP). Houve diferença de imunomarcação citoplasmática para MMP-2 e MMP-9 entre o epitélio acinar e o estroma periacinar, quanto aos diferentes diagnósticos. Observou-se correlação entre a expressão de MMP-2 e MMP-9 em relação ao número de células marcadas no epitélio acinar e estroma periacinar, bem como para a intensidade de marcação das células estromais periacinares em próstatas caninas com PIA. Conclui-se que há variação na expressão de MMP-2 e MMP-9 em próstatas caninas de acordo com a lesão, com menor expressão em próstatas caninas normais e com HPB, e maior naquelas com PIA, PIN e CP. Ainda, o microambiente inflamatório na PIA influencia a atividade de ambas as enzimas.In this study the expression of metalloproteinases 2 (MMP-2) and 9 (MMP-9) in canine normal prostates and with proliferative disorders was evaluated to verify the role of these enzymes in extracellular matrix remodeling (ECM) and in the tissue invasion process. A total of 355 prostatic samples were obtained, from which 36 (10.1%) were normal prostates, 46 (13.0%) with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 128 (36.1%) with proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA), 74 (20.8%) with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), and 71 (20.0%) with prostatic carcinoma (PC). Difference in cytoplasmic immunohistochemical staining of MMP-2 and MMP-9 between acinar epithelium and periacinar stroma was found regarding the different diagnosis. The correlation between MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression in relation to the number of labeled cells in acinar epithelium and periacinar stroma, as well as to the staining intensity in the periacinar stromal cells was evidenced in canine prostates with PIA. In conclusion, MMP-2 and MMP-9 expression has a variation in canine prostate according to the lesion, with lower expression in normal tissue and with BPH, and higher expression in those with PIA, PIN and PC. Moreover, the inflammatory microenvironment of the PIA has influence in the activity of both enzymes

uPAR EXPRESSION IN CANINE NORMAL PROSTATE AND WITH PROLIFERATIVE DISORDERS

Prostatic lesions such as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and proliferative inflammatory atrophy (PIA) are studied in human and canine species due to their malignance potential. The plasminogen activator (PA) system has been suggested to play a central role in cell adhesion, angiogenesis, inflammation, and tumor invasion. The urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a component of the PA, with a range of expression in tumor and stromal cells. In this study, uPAR expression in both canine normal prostates and with proliferative disorders (benign prostatic hyperplasia-BPH, proliferative inflammatory atrophy-PIA, prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia-PIN, and carcinoma-PC) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in a tissue microarray (TMA) slide to establish the role of this enzyme in extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling and in the processes of tissue invasion. A total of 298 cores and 355 diagnoses were obtained, with 36 (10.1%) normal prostates, 46 (13.0%) with BPH, 128 (36.1%) with PIA, 74 (20.8%) with PIN and 71 (20.0%) with PC. There is variation in the expression of uPAR in canine prostate according to the lesion, with lower expression in normal tissue and with BPH, and higher expression in tissue with PIA, PIN and PC. The high expression of uPAR in inflammatory and neoplastic microenvironment indicates increased proteolytic activity in canine prostates with PIA, PIN, and PC

Correlation between clinical findings, mast cell count and interleukin 31 immunostaining in the skin of dogs with atopic dermatitis

ABSTRACT: In this study the correlation between the clinical score, mast cell count and interleukin 31 (IL-31) immunostaining in the skin of dogs with atopic dermatitis was determined. A total of 31 dogs of different breeds, from one to eight years of age, were chosen for the study. The 20 females and 11 males were categorized based on the CADESI-4 system, as having discrete, moderate or marked atopic dermatitis. Skin samples were collected from the axillary and interdigital regions and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for cytohistomorphological analyses and toluidine blue to evaluate the mast cell counts, and immunohistochemistry for the IL-31 immunostaining. Animals revealing higher atopic dermatitis scores had greater numbers of mast cells and IL-31 immunolabeled cells. More numbers of cells immunolabeled for IL-31 were evident in the axillary skin compared with the interdigital skin in dogs having this condition. A correlation was identified between the clinical scores and mast cell numbers in the interdigital region, as well as between the clinical scores and number of cells immunolabeled for IL-31 in the axillary area. A correlation was also reported between the mast cell numbers and IL-31 immunolabeled cells only in the axillary skin, and none in the interdigital regions. It was thus concluded that the mast cells and IL-31 are involved in the pathogenesis of the canine atopic dermatitis (CAD), as well as lymphocytes and plasma cells. It was also observed that the higher the degree of clinical severity of the disease, the more the numbers of mast cells and IL-31 in the skin of those animals suffering from CAD, which implies the influence of these immunological constituents on the genesis of pruritus and disease progression
