ABSTRACT

Studies have demonstrated that flavonoid compounds of green propolis have antitumoral activity. STUDY DESIGN: Experimental study. AIMS: To evaluate the effect of a hydroalcoholic extract of green propolis (EPV) on chemically induced epithelial dysplasias in rat tongues. METHODS AND MATERIALS: DMBA was brushed on the lingual dorsum of rats 3x/week on alternate days - 100 (PROP1), 200 (PROP2) and 300 mg/kg (PROP3) EPV was administered orally for 20 weeks. EPV or DMBA were replaced by their vehicles and applied as positive (TUM1 and TUM2) and negative controls (CTR1 and CTR2), respectively. The lingual epithelium was histologically analyzed and graded according a binary system and the WHO classification; the data were compared using ANOVA (*p<0.05). RESULTS: The EPV yield was 41 percent and the flavonoid yield was 0.95±0.44 percent. According to the Binary System, TUM1, TUM2 and PROP1 were considered high risk lesions, with significantly higher morphological alteration rates compared to the other groups (p<0.05), which were considered low risk lesions. Based on the WHO classification, moderate dysplasia was TUM1 and TUM2, mild dysplasia was PROP1, PROP2 and PROP3, and non-dysplastic epithelium was CTR1 and CTR2. CONCLUSION: EPV seems to play an important protective role against chemically-induced lingual carcinogenesis in rats.


Estudos têm demonstrado que componentes hidrossolúveis da própolis verde, flavonóides, apresentam atividade antitumoral. FORMA DE ESTUDO: Estudo experimental. OBJETIVO: Avaliar o efeito do extrato hidroalcoólico de própolis verde (EPV) sobre displasias epiteliais linguais quimicamente induzidas em ratos. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Neste estudo, foi pincelado DMBA (9,10-dimetil-1,2- benzatraceno) no dorso lingual de ratos 3x/semana, em dias alternados, administrado 100 (PROP1), 200 (PROP2) e 300 mg/kg (PROP3) de EPV (v.o.), durante 20 semanas. A substituição do EPV ou DMBA pelos seus veículos foi usada nos controles positivos (TUM1 e TUM2), negativos (CTR1 e CTR2), respectivamente. O epitélio lingual foi analisado histologicamente, graduado pelo Sistema Binário e classificação OMS, e os dados comparados por análise de variância (ANOVA) (p<0,05). RESULTADOS: O rendimento do EPV foi 41,43 por cento e o teor de flavonóides 0,95±0,44 por cento. Segundo o Sistema Binário, TUM1, TUM2 e PROP1 foram considerados lesões de alto risco, apresentando índices de alterações morfológicas significativamente mais elevados (p<0,05), e os demais de baixo risco. Segundo a classificação OMS, observou-se displasia moderada em TUM e TUM2, leve em PROP1, PROP2 e PROP3, e ausente em CTR1 e CTR2. Conclusão: Sugere-se que o EPV possa desempenhar um papel protetor importante durante a carcinogênese lingual quimicamente induzida em ratos. CONCLUSÃO: Sugere-se que o EPV possa desempenhar um papel protetor importante durante a carcinogênese lingual quimicamente induzida em ratos.

ABSTRACT

An immunohistochemical analysis of 40 cases of oral squamous cell carcinoma was performed to evaluate the relationship between the expression pattern of death-associated protein kinase (DAPk) positive cells with the histological malignancy grading of these lesions. According to our results, eleven cases (27.5 percent) were high-grade malignancy tumours and 29 (72.5 percent) were low-grade ones. We found that 92.86 percent of the low-grade tumours were positive to anti-DAP kinase antibody whereas only 7.14 percent of the high-grade tumours presented positivity, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.01). Sixteen (55.2 percent) of the low-grade carcinomas exhibited moderate immunoreactivity whereas ten cases (34.5 percent) showed weak staining and three cases (10.3 percent) were negative tumours. Immunostaining was lacking in nine (81.8 percent) of the high-grade carcinomas and "weak" in the two (18.2 percent) remaining cases. Thus, DAPk expression is significantly decreased in high-grade oral carcinomas, and evidences indicate that it might be related to the severity of cytological atypia.


Fue realizado un análisis inmunohistoquímico de 40 casos de carcinoma oral de células escamosas para evaluar la relación entre el patrón de expresión de la proteína quinasa (DAPK) asociada a la muerte celular y la clasificación histológica de malignidad de estas lesiones. Según nuestros resultados, 11 casos (27,5 por ciento) eran tumores de alto grado de malignidad y 29 (72,5 por ciento) de bajo grado. Se encontró que 92,86 por ciento de los tumores de bajo grado de malignidad fueron eran positivos para anticuerpos anti-DAP-quinasa, mientras que sólo 7,14 por ciento de los tumores de alto grado presentaron positividad, esta diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa (p <0,01). En 16 casos (55,2 por ciento) los carcinomas de bajo grado de malignidad mostraron inmunorreactividad moderada mientras que 10 casos (34,5 por ciento) mostraron una tinción débil y 3 casos (10,3 por ciento) fueron negativos. La inmunotinción estuvo ausente en 9 (81,8 por ciento) de los carcinomas de alto grado y "débil" grado de malignidad en los 2 (18,2 por ciento) casos restantes. Así, la expresión DAPK se redujo significativamente en los carcinomas orales de alto grado y las evidencias indican que podría estar relacionado con la severidad de la atipia citológica.
