          Abstract

          In this study, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and p53 protein expressions were analyzed in 16 cases of ameloblastoma and 8 cases of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT). The cases of ameloblastoma consisted of solid type tumors and histologic arrangements of different subtypes were observed. In some specimens, more than one histologic subtype was identified in the same lesion, and each tumor was categorized according to the predominant cell pattern. The odontogenic tumors were grouped as follows: follicular ameloblastoma (n=7), plexiform ameloblastoma (n=4), acanthomatous + follicular ameloblastoma (n=3), basal cell ameloblastoma (n=2), adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (n=8). PCNA immunohistochemical expression revealed stronger quantitative labeling index for the follicular ameloblastoma, while for p53 protein the strongest quantitative labeling index was detected in the plexiform type. Nevertheless, statistical analysis using ANOVA and Tukey's test did not detect significant differences (p>0.05) among the histologic subtypes of ameloblastoma. The findings of this study suggest that the different histologic patterns of ameloblastoma did not show a direct correlation with their clinical behavior and consequently with the prognosis of the cases. The results also indicated that the ameloblastoma has greater proliferative potential than the AOT, which can contribute to explain its more aggressive and invasive characteristics.

          Nesse estudo, a expressão do antígeno nuclear de proliferação celular (PCNA) e da proteína p53, foi analisada em 16 casos de ameloblastoma e 8 casos de tumor odontogênico adenomatóide (TOA). Os casos de ameloblastoma eram do tipo sólido e, do ponto de vista morfológico, apresentavam-se nos diferentes subtipos histológicos. Em alguns casos, contudo, havia mais de um subtipo histológico na mesma lesão. As lesões foram então categorizadas em função da predominância dos achados histológicos, tendo sido identificados 7 casos de ameloblastoma com padrão folicular, 4 plexiformes, 3 foliculares + acantomatosos e 2 de células basais.Todas as lesões exibiram positividade para o PCNA e para a proteína p53, embora a expressão imunoistoquímica para o PCNA tenha sido mais forte nos casos de ameloblastoma folicular, enquanto a expressão da proteína p53 tenha se apresentou mais forte em ameloblastomas do subtipo plexiforme. A análise estatística (ANOVA e Teste de Tukey) não revelou diferença signficante (p>0.05) entre os tipos histológicos do ameloblastoma. Estes achados sugerem que os padrões histológicos do ameloblastoma não apresentaram correlação direta com o comportamento clinico e, conseqüentemente, com o prognóstico destas lesões. Os resultados também indicam que o ameloblastoma tem maior potencial proliferativo do que o TOA, o que contribui para explicar sua característica mais agressiva e invasiva.

          Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) immunolocalization in paraffin sections: an index of cell proliferation with evidence of deregulated expression in some neoplasms.

          Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is a 36 kD nuclear protein associated with the cell cycle. A monoclonal antibody, PC10, that recognizes a fixation and processing resistant epitope has been used to investigate its tissue distribution. Nuclear PCNA immunoreactivity is found in the proliferative compartment of normal tissues. PCNA immunoreactivity is induced in lectin stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells in parallel with bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and the number of cells with PCNA immunoreactivity is reduced by induction of differentiation in HL60 cells. In non-Hodgkin's lymphomas a linear relation between Ki67 and PCNA staining was demonstrated. These data suggest that in normal tissues and lymphoid neoplasms, PCNA immunolocalization can be used as an index of cell proliferation. However, in some forms of neoplasia, including breast and gastric cancer and in vitro cell lines, the simple relation between PCNA expression and cell proliferation is lost. In some breast and pancreatic tumours there is apparent deregulation of PCNA with increased expression in tissues adjacent to the tumours. The over-expression in some tumours and in adjacent morphologically normal tissue may represent autocrine or paracrine growth factor influence on PCNA gene expression.

            Proliferating cell nuclear antigen is required for DNA excision repair.

            Fractionation of extracts from human cell lines allows nucleotide excision repair of damaged DNA to be resolved into discrete incision and polymerization stages. Generation of incised intermediates depends on the XP-A protein, a polypeptide that recognizes sites of damaged DNA, and on the human single-stranded DNA-binding protein HSSB. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) is required for the DNA synthesis that converts the nicked intermediates to completed repair events. This need for PCNA implies that repair synthesis is carried out by DNA polymerase delta or epsilon. The ability to visualize repair intermediates in the absence of PCNA facilitates dissection of the multiprotein reaction that leads to incision of damaged DNA in a major pathway of cellular defense against mutagens.
