RESUMO
O melanoma cutâneo representa um tipo de câncer de pele pouco freqüente, porém um dos mais agressivos. ...Vários fatores histológicos e clínicos já foram identificados como prognósticos no melanoma cutâneo, no entanto em muitas situações, pacientes com características clínicas semelhantes e tumores semelhantes,evoluem de maneira diferente. É possível que fatores moleculares estejam envolvidos nesta evolução inesperada. Com o objetivo de tentar identificar possíveis genes relacionados com a biologia do tumor, construímos um banco de dados com 63 pacientes atendidos no Departamento de Oncologia Cutânea do Hospital do Câncer – A. C. Camargo onde foram identificados os fatores clínicos, histológicos e a evolução clínica destes pacientes.... Foi realizada também a comparação de expressão gênica entre os pacientes dividindo-os de acordo com algumas variáveis como sexo, localização do tumor, subtipo histológico, presença de regressão, presença de ulceração, Breslow e índice mitótico. Individualizando-se a variável sexo, o gene JARID1D (AT rich interactive domain 1 D, RBP2 like) apresentou-se mais expresso no sexo feminino numa proporção estatisticamente significativa. Individualizando-se a variável tipo histológico, o gene COL 16 A1 (collagen type XVI alpha 1 ) apresentou-se diferencialmente expresso. No estudo das outras variáveis não foi encontrado nenhum gene diferencialmente expresso de maneira significativa. Apesar de não encontrarmos grande correlação entre o perfil de expressão de genes e a evolução clínica de pacientes com melanoma cutâneo, nosso estudo pode estabelecer um banco de dados que poderá colaborar em projetos futuros.
ABSTRACT
Cutâneous melanoma is the an uncommon skin cancer but is one of the most aggressive. Although prognosis for early local melanoma is favorable, distant metastasis represent 5-year overall survival between 20 and 40%. Many clinical and histological factors are known to be related to cutaneous melanoma prognostic, but sometimes similar patients with similar tumors have different clinical evolution. We believe that molecular factors must be involved in this unexpected outcome. Aiming to identify possible genes related to cutaneous melanoma biology we made a data bank with 63 patients attended in the Skin Oncology Department of the Hospital do Câncer de São Paulo ­ A. C. Camargo, taking in account clinical and histological factors. Also, tissue sample from the tumors were extracted from each patient (23 primary and 40 metastatic lesions) to isolate RNA. Utilizing cDNA microarray technology, gene profile from each patient was achieved. This gene profile was compared between groups of patients defined by the prognosis expected and the evolution that occurred, if it was expected or unexpected. Two genes differentially expressed, AP3B2 (adapter related protein complex 3, Beta 2 subunit) and UGCGL2 (UDP glucose ceramide, glicosyltransferase like 2) were found after comparing the groups. The gene profile was compared also dividing the patients in some prognostic factors as sex, primary tumor site, histological subtype, regression, ulceration, Breslow index and mitotic rate. Analyzing the factor sex alone, JARID1D gene (AT rich interactive domain 1 D, RBP2 like) presented overexpressed in the female sex. Analyzing the melanoma histological subtype, COL 16 A1 gene (collagen type XVI alpha 1) presented differentially expressed. Analyzing the other factors, no other genes were found differentially expressed. In our study we built a melanoma data bank with clinical, histological and molecular informations. All this data will be very helpful for future studies about melanoma clinical outcome and melanoma gene profile. As conclusion we can say we identified some genes that can be related to cutaneous melanoma biology (AU)
