From each block, 5 μm thick sections were cut and routinely stained with Hematoxylin and Eosin. Immunohistochemical studies were performed on 4-μm thick sections of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded actinic cheilitis lesions and of normal lower lip vermillion, for MMP-9 and MMP-12 in serial sections of our specimens. Appropriate positive and negative controls were performed to confirm the specificity of the staining reaction. MMP immunohistochemistry was evaluated using a semiquantitative immunoreactive score.RESULTS: Haematoxylin and eosin staining revealedin actinic cheilitis lesions atrophic stratified squamous cell epithelium, or focally and irregularly hyperplastic of variable thickness, in some areas was observed marked keratin production. Varying degrees of epithelial dysplasia were noticed with a wide spectrum of change within the same specimen. Characteristic was the appearance of chronic inflammatory infiltration, and a band of amorphous acellular, basophilic change like solar elastosis(elastin replacement of collagen). In normal lower lip specimens weak and scanty positive expression of MMP-9 and MMP-12 was observed. Anti-MMP-9 antibody showed a weak reaction, in actinic cheilitis lesions, focal in the elastotic material, in chronic inflammatory cells and mostly in macrophages and neutrophils. Strong and in some cases diffused immunohistochemical expression of MMP-12 was detected in actinic cheilitis lesions in the areas of the fragmented, distorted and thickened elastic fibers. MMP-12 was also expressed in chronic inflammatory cells and mostly macrophages. MMP-12 was significantly higher in actinic cheilitis specimens compared with the normal lower lip specimens(P = 0.0029).CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that especially MMP-12 may play an important role in remodeling events occurring in the connective tissue during long-term exposure to sunlight in the actinic cheilitis lesions.展开更多

Methods: TGF-β1, ADAM12 and HB-EGF were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry in 30 cases of hepatic carcinoma tissues, 30 cases of adjacent carci- noma tissues and 5 cases of normal hepatic tissues. Results: RT-PCR analyses showed that the mRNA expression of TGF-β1, ADAM12 and HB-EGF were markedly increased in each hepatic carcinoma tissue compared with its adjacent tissue (P < 0.01), but no signal was detected in normal hepatic tissue. Immunohistochemistry showed the same outcome on the expression of above three factors in hepatic tissues as RT-PCR. Proteins location analyses showed the proteins of TGF-β1, ADAM12 and HB-EGF all distributed in the stroma of hepatic carcinoma tissues. The positive correlation was found between TGF-β1 and ADAM12 (r = 0.6137, P < 0.05), as well as ADAM12 and HB-EGF (r = 0.5763, P < 0.05). The protein expression of TGF-β1, ADAM12 and HB-EGF were correlated with the size of tumors, degree of differentiation of hepatoma carcinoma cells, portal vein thrombus and the metastasis of absorbent glands, especially with hepatic cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B virus. Conclu- sion: TGF-β1, ADAM12 and HB-EGF possibly play an important role in the process of growth, invasion and metastasis of hepatoma carcinoma cell, meanwhile, the above three factors may collectively participate in the transition from hepatic cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B virus to hepatocellular carcinoma.展开更多
