Abstract
Nearly 50% of patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) die of metastases or locoregional recurrence. Metastasis is mediated by cancer cell adhesion, migration, and invasion. Osteoactivin (OA) overexpression plays a role in metastases in several malignancies. The aims were to determine how integrin interactions modulate OA-induced OSCC cell migration; and to investigate OA effects on cell survival and proliferation. We confirmed OA mRNA and protein overexpression in OSCC cell lines. We assessed OA's interactions with integrins using adhesion inhibition assays, fluorescent immunocytochemistry and co-immunoprecipitation. We investigated OA-mediated activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and cell survival. Integrin inhibition effects on OA-mediated cell migration were determined. We assessed effects of OA knock-down on cell migration and proliferation. OA is overexpressed in OSCC cell lines, and serves as a migration-promoting adhesion molecule. OA co-localized with integrin subunits, and co-immunoprecipitated with the subunits. Integrin blocking antibodies, especially those directed against the β1 subunit, inhibited cell adhesion (P = 0.03 for SCC15 cells). Adhesion to OA activated MAPKs in UMSCC14a cells and OA treatment promoted survival of SCC15 cells. Integrin-neutralizing antibodies enhanced cell migration with OA in the extracellular matrix. OA knock-down resulted in decreased proliferation of SCC15 and SCC25 cells, but did not inhibit cell migration. OA in the extracellular matrix promotes OSCC cell adhesion and migration, and may be a novel target in the prevention of HNSCC spread. J. Cell.

Abstract
The human amniotic membrane (AM) is a thin intrauterine placental membrane that is highly biocompatible and possesses anti-inflammatory and anti-scarring properties. Using AM, we developed a novel method for cultivating oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets. We investigated the autologous transplantation of oral mucosal epithelial cells cultured on AM in patients undergoing oral surgeries. We obtained specimens of AM from women undergoing cesarean sections. This study included five patients without any history of a medical disorder who underwent autologous cultured oral epithelial transplantation following oral surgical procedures. Using oral mucosal biopsy specimens obtained from these patients, we cultured oral epithelial cells on an AM carrier. We transplanted the resultant cell sheets onto the oral mucosal defects. Patients were followed-up for at least 12 months after transplantation. After 2–3 weeks of being cultured on AM, epithelial cells were well differentiated and had stratified into five to seven layers. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the cultured cells expressed highly specific mucosal epithelial cell markers and basement membrane proteins. After the surgical procedures, no infection, bleeding, rejection, or sheet detachment occurred at the reconstructed sites, at which new oral mucous membranes were evident. No recurrence was observed in the long-term follow-up, and the postoperative course was excellent. Our results suggest that AM-cultured oral mucosal epithelial cell sheets represent a useful biomaterial and feasible method for oral mucosal reconstruction. However, our primary clinical study only evaluated their effects on a limited number of small oral mucosal defects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The β1 integrin (CD29) is a putative marker for cancerous epithelial stem cells. Cancer stem cells are essential to drive tumor growth, recurrence, and metastasis. We investigated the role of β1-integrin expression in the development of malignant phenotypes of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Immunostaining was used to analyze the expression levels of β1 integrins in different types of cell colonies and tumor spheres. The results of cell viability and migration assays with and without siRNA knockdown of β1-integrin expression were compared. Cells expressing β1 integrins were evaluated for their tumorigenicity in mice. The expression of β1 integrins in human specimens of oral cancers at different clinical stages was semiquantified based on immunohistochemical staining of the β1-integrin protein. RESULTS The expression level of β1 integrins in Meng-1 oral epidermoid carcinoma cells (OECM-1) cells was significantly higher in holoclonal colonies and tumor spheres compared to control cells. The knockdown of β1-integrin expression in OECM-1 cells reduced cell proliferation, migration, and tumor sphere formation. Beta-1 integrin (+) cells were more tumorigenic in the mouse xenograft model than β1 integrin (-) cells. In the human specimens, the expression level of the β1-integrin protein positively correlated with the clinical stage. CONCLUSION The expression of β1 integrin in OECM-1 cells is involved in the development of malignant phenotypes of OSCC. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Inhibitors for β1-integrin signaling may be suitable to become target-specific therapies for OSCC.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the expression of α2β1, α3β1, and α5β1 integrins between 28 pleomorphic adenomas (PAs) and 10 adenoid cystic carcinomas (ACCs), and investigate differences in the expression of these integrins according to histologic subtypes of ACCs. It was taken into consideration the presence or absence, distribution, and localization of integrin immunoexpression. There was immunoreactivity in the intercellular contacts of the strands, nests, and solid sheets of PAs, as well as in the luminal and nonluminal cells of the duct-like structures, with a predominant immunoexpression in the luminal cells. The immunoexpression in ACCs varied with histologic subtype of the tumor. It was verified for a tendency of absence and/or reduced expression of all integrins in the solid subtype of ACCs. In general, PAs revealed a more diffuse and remarkable immunoexpression of all studied integrins than ACCs. The reduced integrins expression in ACC may be related to a lesser degree of cell differentiation in this neoplasm. Moreover, the absence and/or reduced expression of the studied integrins in solid ACC suggest a possible role in pathogenesis and more aggressive biological behavior of this histologic subtype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE AND METHODS This study analyzed the distribution, intensity, and pattern of immunohistochemical expression of α2β1, α3β1, and α5β1 integrins in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the lower lip and tongue to identify biomarkers that reflect the clinical course of this cancer. Immunoexpression was compared considering prognostic parameters such as anatomic site, metastasis, and histologic grade of malignancy. RESULTS Immunohistochemical analysis at the invasion front showed a predominance of granular cytoplasmic expression of the integrins studied. In most cases, immunopositive cells were diffusely distributed in the tumors, irrespective of their location, except for α3β1 integrin-positive cells which were focally distributed in 53.3% of tongue SCC cases. With respect to staining intensity, positive staining for α2β1 integrin was observed in 80% of lower lip SCCs and in 93.3% of tongue SCCs. Staining for α3β1 integrin was moderately positive in 60% of lower lip and tongue SCCs. The staining intensity of α5β1 integrin was moderately and strongly positive in 53.3% and 46.7% of lower lip SCCs, respectively, and in 46.7% and 53.3% of tongue SCCs. CONCLUSIONS The strong immunoreactivity for integrins α2β1, α3β1, and α5β1 seen in the oral SCC cases studied suggests a significant participation of these proteins in oral carcinogenesis. However, their expression does not reflect the clinical course of this cancer.

Abstract
Integrins are a family of adhesion molecules performing a major role in multiple cellular functions. Their contribution in carcinogenesis and metastatic process are the object of intense research activity worldwide during the last decades. This review focuses on the existing knowledge about integrin expression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) as it has been acquired mainly by immunohistochemical methods and by in vitro assays. The elucidation of the exact role of integrins and the study of expressive alterations of these molecules in cancer cells, may result in novel therapeutical approaches for useful applications in the clinical routine of HNSCC in the future.

Abstract
AIM: To detect the expression pattern of FAK (focal adhesion kinase) and integrin α5 and β1 subunits in different kinds of cancerous tissues and to study their correlation with clinicopathological data including tumor type, grade and lymph node status.
METHODS: Using an immunohistochemical technique, we examined the expression of FAK and integrin and 1 subunits in cancerous and noncancerous tissues obtained from 75 patients with gastric carcinomas, 21 colorectal carcinomas, 16 hepatocellular carcinomas, 20 uterocervical carcinomas, and 20 breast carcinomas.
RESULTS: The staining of FAK was stronger in cancerous than in noncancerous areas. Enhanced expression of FAKwas detected in poor-differentiated carcinoma of the stomach and colorectum. Tumors with lymph node metastases had more FAK protein than those without metastases. In addition, the deeper the extent of tumor infiltration, the higher the FAK expression. The expression of integrin α5 and β1 subunits was lower in cancerous areas than in noncancerous areas, but it was higher in well-differentiated cancerous tissues than in poor differentiated tissues. The relationship between the expression of integrin α5 and β1 subunits and infiltration or metastasis was not significant. Cancerous tissues with stronger FAK expression (++ or +++) also had a higher expression of integrin α5 and β1 subunits in the tumor and its unaffected margins.
CONCLUSION: FAK is a better marker for carcinogenesis and the progression of cancer than integrin α5 or β1 subunit, and it may be not only a transformation-linked enzyme but also a progression-linked enzyme.
