Abstract

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue is a common malignancy of the oral cavity. Furin convertase activates several precursor matrix metalloproteinases involved in the degradation of the extracellular matrix. The pattern of expression of furin and vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C), two key molecules in neoplasm development, was examined during the progression from normal epithelium to invasive SCC. We evaluated furin and VEGF-C expression and microvessel density (MVD) by immunohistochemistry in human tongue sections harboring normal epithelium, dysplastic epithelium, and/or SCC. Sections from 46 glossectomy specimens were assessed for furin expression. A selected group of 15 cases, each containing normal epithelium, precursor lesions, and invasive SCC, were further studied for furin and VEGF-C expression and MVD quantification. We also evaluated the pattern of furin expression and VEGF-C processing by Western blot analysis in three SCC cell lines with different degrees of aggressiveness. Furin and VEGF-C expression was notably higher in most precursor lesions and SCCs than in normal epithelia. Approximately 60% (n = 26) and 100% (n = 15) of the normal epithelia showed low-intensity staining for furin and VEGF-...Continue Reading
