Peralta-Mamani M, Terrero-Pérez Á, Tucunduva RMA, Rubira CMF, Santos PSDS, Honório HM, Rubira-Bullen IRF. Occurrence of field cancerization in clinically normal oral mucosa: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Arch Oral Biol 2022; 143:105544. [PMID: 36126567 DOI: 10.1016/j.archoralbio.2022.105544] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2022] [Revised: 09/06/2022] [Accepted: 09/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose was to describe whether there are field cancerization (FC) indicators in clinically normal mucosa opposite to primary oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). METHODS A search of the Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, and Livivo databases was performed on June 12, 2022, which retrieved 152 records without duplicates. Studies that analyzed FC in biopsies in clinically normal tissue opposite to primary OSCC were included. The search was conducted under the PRISMA guideline and the protocol was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017077125). RESULTS Eight articles with 302 patients were included, 192 men and 110 women, mean age 57.1 years. Most patients had deleterious habits. All studies performed histopathological confirmation of OSCC and biopsies were obtained the clinically normal mirror mucosa. The meta-analysis carried out with eight studies. The studies showed 57.3 % of cases with histopathological changes of clinically normal mucosa opposite to primary OSCC (Confidence interval 95 %, 0.443-0.703; heterogeneity: Q value 18.715; I2 73.284 %; n = 205). p53 and Ki-67 immunohistochemical analysis may be predictive for detecting changes. There was p53 immunoexpression in 41.3 % of cases (p = 0.872) (n = 55), ki-67 immunoexpression (< 20 %) in 68 % (p = 0.001) (n = 97) and ki-67 immunoexpression (> 20 %) in 28.4 % of cases (p = 0.000) (n = 110). CONCLUSIONS The findings suggest that FC can occur, and there are histopathological changes in clinically normal tissue opposite to primary OSCC. Nevertheless, the review showed that more longitudinal studies on FC are needed to draw a conclusive indication of the occurrence of FC in oral tissues opposite to OSCC.

Abstract
To evaluate cytokeratin 19 (CK19) expression in normal and cancerous tissues, 15,977 samples from 122 tumor types and 608 samples of 76 normal tissue types were analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC). In normal tissues, CK19 expression occurred in epithelial cells of most glandular organs but was strictly limited to the basal cell layer of nonkeratinizing squamous epithelium and absent in the skin. CK19 expression in ≥90% of cases was seen in 34% of the tumor entities including the adenocarcinomas of the pancreas (99.4%), colorectum (99.8%), esophagus (98.7%), and stomach (97.7%), as well as breast cancer (90.0%-100%), high-grade serous (99.1%) or endometrioid (97.8%) ovarian cancer, and urothelial carcinoma (92.6%-100%). A low CK19 positivity rate (0.1-10%) was seen in 5 of 122 tumor entities including hepatocellular carcinoma and seminoma. A comparison of tumor versus normal tissue findings demonstrated that upregulation and downregulation of CK19 can occur in cancer and that both alterations can be linked to unfavorable phenotypes. CK19 downregulation was linked to high grade (p = 0.0017) and loss of estrogen receptor- and progesterone receptor-expression (p < 0.0001 each) in invasive breast carcinoma of no special type. CK19 upregulation was linked to nodal metastases in neuroendocrine tumors and papillary thyroid carcinomas (p < 0.05 each) and to poor grade in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (p < 0.05). CK19 upregulation was particularly common in squamous cell carcinomas. We concluded that CK19 IHC might separate primary liver cell carcinoma from liver metastases, seminoma from other testicular tumors, and helps in the detection of early neoplastic transformation in squamous epithelium.

J Oral Maxillofac Pathol 2021; 24:523-529. [PMID: 33967491 PMCID: PMC8083407 DOI: 10.4103/jomfp.jomfp_302_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2019] [Accepted: 09/25/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Increased mortality in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) had been attributed to delay in diagnosis. Lack of a specific marker to assess the malignant potential of premalignant lesions is thought to be one of the reasons for late detection. Expression of Cytokeratin 19, which is widely used as an odontogenic epithelial marker had been reported in OSCC. Downregulation of CK 19 expression plays an important role in terminal differentiation of superficial squamous cell and increased expression in various epithelial malignancies has been suggested to be an indicator of malignant change. Aims and Objectives: To assess the role of CK19 as a potential marker in predicting malignant transformation in oral precancerous lesions and as a prognostic marker in OSCC. Materials and Methods: Study population consisted of ten samples each of normal oral mucosa, epithelial hyperplasia, varying grades of both oral epithelial dysplasias and OSCC. The tissue sections were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for the marker cytokeratin 19. Results: An increased expression of CK19 was noted in oral epithelial hyperplasia, severe dysplasia and in superficial epithelium at the invading front in OSCC. In mild and moderate dysplasias, CK19 expression was lower than the normal mucosa. In oral squamous cell carcinoma, the expression of CK19 was restricted to either a few islands or a few cells within the islands, resulting in a lesser expression than the normal epithelium. The malignant epithelial islands in the superficial connective tissue stroma were showing greater expression than the deeper islands. The epithelial cells associated with formation of keratin pearls were found to be showing more expression than those with infrequent keratin pearls. Conclusion: The study suggests that malignant transformation of epithelium can be predicted based on the increased expression of CK19. But it should be done with caution as a similar increased expression may also be noticed in presence of inflammation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) 30% of cN0 patients have occult metastasis. LN invasion is a major prognostic factor. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) is an option for cN0 neck management. One-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) used to analyze SLN in breast cancer is also a candidate to get more reliable intraoperative HNSCC lymph node (LN) staging. OBJECTIVE To compare OSNA analysis to pathological analysis in cN0 HNSCC. MATERIALS AND METHODS 157 LN from 26 cN0 HNSCC patients were prospectively analyzed (6.3LN/patient). Exclusion criteria were previous surgery or radiotherapy. Each node was cut into 4 equal pieces alternatively sent to pathological analysis and OSNA technique. IHC CK19 was performed on the primary tumor biopsy and RT-qPCR of CK19, PVA and EPCAM on the LN lysate of discordant cases. RESULTS OSNA was able to provide intraoperative result in all patients. OSNA detected 21 metastases. There were 139 concordant LN (88.5%). There were 18 initial discordant LN (11.5%), 13 (8.3%) were OSNA positive/pathological analysis negative, 5 (3.2%) were OSNA negative/pathological analysis positive. After elimination of allocation bias, false negative rate was 1.3%, sensitivity and specificity were 90% and 95.6%, PPV and NPV were 75% and 98.5%. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that OSNA should be considered to improve SNB analysis both for increasing micro metastasis diagnosis and offer extemporaneous results. Study registered under clinicaltrials.gov database number NCT02852343.

Abstract
Keratin 18 (KRT18) has been suggested to be overexpressed in most types of human tumor, but the expression pattern of KRT18 in colorectal cancer (CRC) remained unknown. In our research, KRT18 protein expression was markedly increased in CRC cancer tissues and cell lines compared with adjacent normal colorectal tissues and normal colonic epithelial cell line, respectively. Meanwhile, we observed high KRT18 expression was associated with advanced clinical stage, deep tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, poor differentiation and unfavorable prognosis in CRC patients. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed high expression of KRT18 was an unfavorable independent predictor for overall survival in CRC patients. The in vitro studies indicated down-regulation of KRT18 expression depressed CRC cell viability, migration and invasion. In conclusion, KRT18 serves as an oncogenic role in CRC progression and may be a therapeutic target for promoting CRC patients' prognosis.

Abstract
Background: Detection of metastatic spread of head and neck cancer to cervical lymph nodes is essential for optimal design of therapy. Undetected metastases lead to mortality, which can be prevented by better detection methods. Methods: We analysed 41 lymph nodes from 19 patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Each lymph node was divided in two, one half processed for histopathology and the other half dissociated into single-cell suspension, stained for the carcinoma cell markers cytokeratin 5/8 (CK5/8), epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) and epithelial mucin (MUC-1), and analysed with flow cytometry. Flow cytometry data were compared with histopathology performed on serial sections and immunohistochemistry. Six cervical lymph nodes from cancer-free patients were used to establish baseline levels in flow cytometry. Results: Flow cytometry analysis (fluorescence-activated cell sorting; FACS) detected all six metastases confirmed by histopathology as well as the histologically negative nodes. Importantly, among nine sentinel lymph nodes, FACS analysis detected <1% malignant cells in four cases, not found in histopathology. Results from flow cytometry analysis can be obtained within 3 h of the time of biopsy. Conclusions: We show that flow cytometric analysis of nodal tissue is sensitive and reliable in identifying metastases of OSCC. Flow cytometry is inexpensive and fast, providing a possibility of perioperative diagnostics and immediate treatment planning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative analysis of sentinel lymph nodes would enhance the care of early-stage oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). We determined the frequency and extent of cytokeratin 19 (CK19) expression in OSCC primary tumours and surrounding tissues to explore the feasibility of a "clinic-ready" intraoperative diagnostic test (one step nucleic acid amplification-OSNA, sysmex). METHODS Two cohorts were assembled: cohort 1, OSCC with stage and site that closely match cases suitable for sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB); cohort 2, HNSCC with sufficient fresh tumour tissue available for the OSNA assay (>50 mg). CK19 assays included qRT-PCR, RNA in situ hybridisation (ISH), and immunohistochemistry (IHC), as well as OSNA. RESULTS CK19 mRNA expression was detected with variable sensitivity, depending on method, in 60-80% of primary OSCC tumours, while protein expression was observed in only 50% of tumours. Discordance between different techniques indicated that OSNA was more sensitive than qRT-PCR or RNA-ISH, which in turn were more sensitive than IHC. OSNA results showed CK19 expression in 80% of primary cases, so if used for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis would lead to a false-negative result in 20% of patients with cervical lymph node metastases. CONCLUSIONS OSNA in its current form is not suitable for use in OSCC SLNB due to inadequate expression of the CK19 target in all case. However, the same assay technology would likely be very promising if applied using a more ubiquitous squamous epithelial target.

Abstract
Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity is a morphological heterogeneous disease. Various cytokeratin (CK) expression patterns with different prognostic values have been described, but little is known concerning the underlying biological cell mechanisms. Therefore, the present study investigated 193 cases of oral SCCs using immunohistochemistry for α/β/γ-catenin, glucose transporter 1, caspase-3, X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein, hypoxia inducible factor-1α, carbonic anhydrase 9, heat shock protein (hsp) 70, mast/stem cell growth factor receptor, p21, p27, p16, p53, B-cell lymphoma 6, epidermal growth factor receptor, cyclin D1 and CK1, 5/6, 8/18, 10, 14 and 19. Expression patterns were analyzed with biomathematical permutation analysis. The present results revealed a significant association between the expression of low-molecular weight CK8/18 and 19 and a high-tumor grade, β and γ-catenin expression, deregulated cell cycle proteins and a predominant localization of the tumor on the floor of the mouth. By contrast, expression of high-molecular weight CK1, 5/6, 10 and 14 was significantly associated with the expression of p21 and hsp70. In conclusion, the current study presents evidence for the existence of two parallel pathogenetic pathways in oral SCCs, characterized by the expression of low- and high-molecular weight CKs. Additional studies are required to demonstrate the extent that these results may be used to improve therapeutic regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of CK19 expression in the primary lesions of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma on the diagnosis of the cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis using the 1-step nucleic acid amplification assay. METHODS Primary lesions and 54 CLNs were resected from 21 patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma between 2009 and 2011. Each CLN was tested by the 1-step nucleic acid amplification assay, and the CK19 mRNA copy number obtained was compared to the corresponding histopathological results. RESULTS In the primary lesion CK19-positive group, the sensitivity and specificity of the 1-step nucleic acid amplification assay against hematoxylin-eosin staining were 86% and 100%, respectively. The p value by Fisher's exact test was < .0001, indicating statistical significance. CONCLUSION These results suggest that 1-step nucleic acid amplification offers similar diagnostic potential to that of histopathological diagnosis of CLN biopsy in patients with a CK19-positive primary lesion. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Conventional intraoperative pathological examination for Sentinel node navigation surgery (SNNS) has been controversial. We evaluated the efficacy of one-step nucleic acid amplification (OSNA) assay for intraoperative diagnosis of cervical lymph node (CLN) metastasis compared with histopathological examination in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS A total of 175 CLNs dissected from 56 patients with HNSCC who underwent surgery at Aichi Cancer Center, Kyorin University, Gunma University or Fukushima Medical University, between April 2008 and December 2011 were enrolled. CLN samples were sectioned into four equal pieces, with two of each used for OSNA assay and other histopathological examinations. The diagnostic value of OSNA assay in HNSCC patients in predicting the results of histopathological diagnosis was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve. RESULTS OSNA assay showed acceptable efficacy in the detection of pathological CLN metastasis (AUROC 0.918, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 0.852-0.984). Regarding the CK19mRNA cutoff value, the optimum cutoff point in HNSCC patients was 131 copies/μl (sensitivity: 82.4, 95 % CI 65.5-93.2; specificity: 99.3, 95 % CI 96.1-100.0; positive likelihood ratio 116.1; negative likelihood ratio 0.2]. CONCLUSIONS We demonstrated that OSNA assay is useful in intraoperative diagnosis for CLN metastasis in patients with HNSCC. OSNA assay could be applied for SNNS in HNSCC patients.
