Abstract
Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast shows squamous, sarcomatous, or chondromatous differentiation and has a poor prognosis. Laminin 5 is a heterotrimer of alpha3, beta3, and gamma(2) [corrected] chains and induces aggressive properties in cancer cells including motility, invasion, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Twenty-five cases included 7 squamous, 4 sarcomatous, 8 chondroid, 1 fibromatosislike metaplastic carcinomas, and 5 cases with 2 metaplastic components. Tumors were stained with laminin 5-specific beta3 and gamma(2) [corrected] chain, p63, and cytokeratin 5/6 (CK 5/6) antibodies. All 4 antibodies stained normal myoepithelium. Both laminin 5 antibodies stained 24/25 (96%) of the tumors, with an identical distribution of the 2 chains in 87.5% of the positively staining cases. In contrast, p63 and CK 5/6 stained 68% and 64% of the tumors, respectively. By comparison, only 16% of high-grade carcinoma controls stained for laminin 5. Similar to the metaplastic carcinomas, all 12 triple negative tumors, those negative for estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and Her2/neu, expressed laminin 5. None of 4 breast sarcomas stained for either of the laminin 5 chains or CK 5/6, but 1 (25%) stained for p63. Laminin 5 expression in metaplastic and other basal-like carcinomas is of interest for several reasons. First, these data provide additional evidence of the myoepithelial and basal-like phenotype of these carcinomas. Second, these are the only breast carcinoma subtypes to demonstrate laminin 5 staining in a large proportion of cases. Third, expression of laminin 5 in metaplastic carcinomas may suggest a mechanism for their increased aggressiveness and epithelial to mesenchymal transition phenotype. Finally, compared with other myoepithelial markers, laminin 5 is more sensitive than those previously published. Thus laminin 5 may be helpful for making the diagnosis of metaplastic carcinomas in biopsies, allowing the potential for aggressive early treatment. Further study of other basal-like tumors for laminin 5 expression is warranted to determine the usefulness of laminin 5 in their diagnosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The brush biopsy technique is not only a seminal technique but also a critically discussed method for detection of oral pre-cancerous stages and manifest carcinomas. The gamma2 chain of laminin-5 and its proteolytic fragments comprise an invasion factor for many carcinomas. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine whether the immunocytochemical presentation of the laminin gamma2 chain identifies pre-invasive or invasive squamous cells in brush biopsies. METHODS The value-based identification of atypical epithelia was analysed in 93 consecutive brush biopsies with histopathological diagnoses: standardized haematoxylin and eosin staining; standardized immunocytochemistry: monoclonal antibodies against laminin gamma2 chain: D4B5, 4G1, detection using ChemMate and Autostainer. RESULTS Conventional cytology did not result in any false-positive cases, i.e. atypical cells in normal, inflamed or benignly hyperproliferative mucosa (specificity, 100%), whereas immunocytochemistry revealed one false-positive case (specificity, 98%). In brush biopsies of oral squamous cell carcinomas, the following immunocytochemical patterns were possible: (1) staining of the cytoplasm, (2) banded markings between clumped carcinoma cells and (3) positive hazes surrounding atypical cells. Bacterial colonies appeared as false-positive results. Four of 27 carcinomas and one of three recurrences were not cytologically identified (sensitivity of conventional cytology, 79%). Three of the five carcinomas not identified by cytology were immunocytochemically stained with laminin gamma2 chain antibody (sensitivity of laminin gamma2 chain immunocytochemistry, 93%). The positive predictive value was 100% for conventional cytology and 97% for laminin gamma2 chain immunocytochemistry. The negative predictive value attained was 92% for conventional cytology and 97% for laminin gamma2 chain immunocytochemistry. CONCLUSIONS The high sensitivity level observed for method-enhanced brush cytology suggests that this technique be used as an initial diagnostic step.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Laminin-5 (Ln-5) cleaved by membrane type 1-matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP) enhances the migration of tumor cells. The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not enhanced expression of both Ln-5 and MT1-MMP was associated with lymph node metastasis in patients with T1 and T2 squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue and floor of the mouth. METHODS By use of biopsy specimens of primary tumors from 57 patients, intratumoral expression of Ln-5 and MT1-MMP was evaluated immunohistochemically and its association with node metastasis analyzed. RESULTS The tumors were categorized into three groups: Ln-5 focal type/MT1-MMP (-) (group I, n = 14), Ln-5 focal type/ MT1-MMP (+) and Ln-5 diffuse type/MT1-MMP (-) (group II, n = 16), and Ln-5 diffuse type/MT1-MMP (+) (group III, n = 27). The incidence of node metastasis (initial and latent metastases) was two of 14 (14.3%), five of 16 (31.3%), and 15 of 27 (55.6%) in groups I, II, and III, respectively. Multivariate analysis identified tumor thickness (odds ratio, 4.751; p = .0152) and Ln-5/ MT1-MMP expression (odds ratio, 3.795, p = .0304) as independent factors of node metastasis. Moreover, in 35 patients with N0 disease, Ln-5/MT1-MMP expression was the only parameter associated with latent node metastasis (odds ratio, 12.800, p = .0247). CONCLUSION These results suggest that immunohistochemical evaluation of Ln-5 and MT1-MMP expression is useful for identifying patients with T1 and T2 SCC of the tongue and floor of the mouth who should be treated with elective neck dissection.

Abstract
Type VII collagen defects cause recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), a blistering skin disorder often accompanied by epidermal cancers. To study the role of collagen VII in these cancers, we examined Ras-driven tumorigenesis in RDEB keratinocytes. Cells devoid of collagen VII did not form tumors in mice, whereas those retaining a specific collagen VII fragment (the amino-terminal noncollagenous domain NC1) were tumorigenic. Forced NC1 expression restored tumorigenicity to collagen VII-null epidermis in a non-cell-autonomous fashion. Fibronectin-like sequences within NC1 (FNC1) promoted tumor cell invasion in a laminin 5-dependent manner and were required for tumorigenesis. Tumor-stroma interactions mediated by collagen VII thus promote neoplasia, and retention of NC1 sequences in a subset of RDEB patients may contribute to their increased susceptibility to squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity is a highly invasive tumour of stratified squamous epithelium that spreads through degradation of the basement membrane (BM) and extracellular matrix (ECM). There are currently no reliable tissue or serum markers to predict whether the tumour has metastasized at the time of diagnosis. Verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the oral cavity is a rare low-grade variant of oral SCC that penetrates into the subepithelial connective tissue. Many matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), such as MMP-1, -2, -7, -9, -13, and -14, as well as integrin receptors have been implicated in cancer invasion. Integrin alphavbeta6 is induced in SCC and appears to be involved in up-regulation of MMP-9 expression by oral keratinocytes and promotion of their migration. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the pattern of MMP expression or that of alphavbeta6 integrin contributes to the differences in the biological behaviour of oral SCC and VC. The results show that the less aggressive nature of oral VC may be connected to its MMP expression profile. Typically, VCs were devoid of epithelial MMP-3, -7, -9, -12 and -13 expression, compared with SCCs. MMP-19 was expressed by epithelial keratinocytes in hyperproliferative areas of verrucous hyperplasia, VC, and SCC, but was absent in the invasive cancer cell nests of SCC. MMP-26 was expressed by hyperproliferative keratinocytes in VC as well as by invasive cancer cells in SCCs. MMP-10 was expressed widely in the epithelium of all SCC specimens. alphavbeta6 integrin expression was also detected in some cases of epithelial hyperplasia but was significantly more abundant in cancers at the invasive front. The absence of MMP-7, -9 and -12 from epithelial cells may serve as a good prognostic marker of non-invasive oral carcinoma. Blocking the activity of invasion-specific MMPs or alphavbeta6 integrin might offer novel therapeutic modalities in early-stage oral carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Odontogenic keratocyst (KC) differs from other epithelial odontogenic cysts in regard to increased epithelial proliferation and a strong tendency to recur. Laminin-5 (Ln-5) is an epithelial anchoring filament component, which after modulation by certain matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), like MMP-2 and MMP-13, induces epithelial cell migration. METHODS Using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, we studied the Ln-5 gamma-2 chain expression related to the expression of MMP-2, -8, and -13 in different odontogenic cysts, including radicular cysts (RC; n = 11), follicular cysts (FC; n = 11), and odontogenic keratocysts (KC; n = 16). RESULTS Ln-5 mRNA was present in all cysts examined, while less than half of KCs and RCs (33 and 40%, respectively) demonstrated MMP-2 mRNA. MMP-13 mRNA was present in all KC samples. Ln-5 protein was located as a continuous ribbon in BM zone of all KCs, and MMP-2 and MMP-13 immunoreactivities colocated significantly with Ln-5 in that area. MMP-8 was expressed by stromal macrophages and epithelial goblet cells, but never located in BM zone. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that the colocalization of Ln-5 with MMP-2 or MMP-13, but not with MMP-8, in BM zone of KCs, may be related to special characteristics of KC.

Abstract
The interaction between each one of Trichomonas vaginalis and Tritrichomonas foetus with their hosts is a complex process in which components associated to the cell surfaces of both parasites and host epithelial cells, and also to soluble components found in vaginal/urethral secretions, are involved. Either cytoadhesion or the cytotoxicity exerted by parasites to host cells can be dictated by virulence factors such as adhesins, cysteine proteinases, laminin-binding proteins, integrins, integrin-like molecules, a cell detachment factor, a pore-forming protein, and glycosidases among others. How trichomonads manipulate informations from the extracellular medium, transduce such informations, and respond to them by stimulating the activities of some surface molecules and/or releasing enzymes are the aspects concerning trichomonal virulence which are here briefly reviewed and discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment decisions for cervical cancer, a common disease worldwide, depend on demonstrating whether or not tumor invasion of the surrounding tissue has occurred. Invasion can be difficult to assess by standard histopathologic methods, especially when limited amounts of tissue are available. Several studies of a variety of cancers have reported increased expression of laminin-5-an important attachment protein for epithelial cells-in invasive carcinomas. This study was designed to investigate whether the presence of laminin-5 is related to the invasive capacity of cervical lesions. METHODS We used immunohistochemical methods to stain archival, paraffin-embedded sections of cervical lesions with a polyclonal antibody specifically targeting the gamma2 chain of human laminin-5 protein. The study sample included 23 lesions of mild and moderate dysplasia (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia [CIN] 1 and 2, respectively), 32 lesions of severe dysplasia or carcinoma in situ (CIN 3), 15 lesions of microinvasive cancer, and 20 lesions of frankly invasive cancer. Cellular proliferative activity was also investigated by the use of monoclonal MIB-1 (directed against the antigen Ki-67) and anticyclin A antibodies. RESULTS Invasiveness of cervical lesions was positively associated with immunohistochemical staining of the gamma2 chain of laminin-5 (two-sided P =.001). All CIN 1 and CIN 2 lesions-except one CIN 2 lesion later shown to be invasive cancer-and 21 CIN 3 lesions tested negative for the gamma2 chain of laminin-5. Eleven CIN 3 lesions and all invasive cancers tested positive for this protein. One lymph node metastasis and a pleural metastasis from one of the patients with invasive cancer showed strong immunohistochemical positivity. Proliferative activity increased with advancement of the lesion but was not confined to cells positive for the gamma2 chain of laminin-5. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that antibodies directed against the gamma2 chain of laminin-5 can identify cervical lesions with invasive capacity and thus may be useful as a sensitive marker of early invasion.

Abstract
The distribution of the basement membrane anchoring fibril component type VII collagen was studied in oral squamous cell carcinoma by using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemical methods. The expression of type VII collagen in oral normal mucosa, lichen planus and epithelial dysplasias was also investigated. In squamous cell carcinomas, the signals for type VII collagen mRNA were located exclusively in malignant peripheral cells in tumour islands and in fibroblast-like cells among the stromal tissue. In normal buccal mucosa, type VII collagen mRNA expression was located in basal epithelial cells. In oral lichen planus and epithelial dysplasias, the signals for type VII collagen mRNA were also located in basal keratinocytes; however, the signal was especially strong in some epithelial cells. In oral squamous cell carcinomas, the linear immunohistochemical staining pattern of type VII collagen was noted surrounding partly squamous epithelial tumour cell islands, and a large number of tumour cells showed a cytoplasmic staining reaction using the type VII collagen antibody. Some fibroblast-like stromal cells also showed a positive immunostaining reaction. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that a high synthesis level, but an impaired distribution of type VII collagen, are highly characteristic of squamous epithelial tumour cells.
