The numbers of AgNOR have been gradully increased with the grades of dasplasls. Similarly the percentage of sialomucin having vicinal diols on side chain of sialic acid also gradully Increased with the grades of dysplasia. The AgNOR reflects rDNA transcriptional activity responsible for degrees of differentiation of cell. Epithelial cells secreting a heterogeneous mucin, could be taken as a signal of abnormal cellular differentiation. AgNOR and mucln chages might be assumed as a criteria In representing malignant transformation.展开更多

The sialomucin histochemical changes were assessed by use of high iron diamine-alcian blue staining (HID-AB) at PH 2.5. In the untreated controls, the epithelial cells in the distal colon are characterized by a predominance of sulfomucins, and the cells in the proximal site stain for abundant sialomucins, with occasioual sulfomucins in the base of the crypt. The earlier changes detected at the 4th week are focal areas of hyperplasia in which sulfomucins still predominant as in controls. As the experimental progress, the number of lesions with severe dysplasia increase, with carcinoma in situ and invasive carcinoma appeariug from the 10th week. The areas of mild or moderate dysplasia show marked changes in the composition of mucin, characterized by the progressively increased of staining of sialomucins and accompanied in general by a decrease of sulfomucins, similar to those changes described in transitional mucosa (TM) adjacent to colorectal cancer in the human. It is suggested the morphological malignant transformation of colonic epithelium were paralleled qualitatively enhanced sialomucin staining in concert with reduced sulfomucin staining of epithelial cells, providing further evidence that the mucin changes in TM characterized by an increase in sialomucins might reflect early primary premalignant transformation.展开更多
