RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Quantifying silver stained nucleolar organizer regions (AgNORs) and proliferation cell nuclear antigens (PCNA) are useful techniques to measure proliferative activity of tumor cells; however, the nonspecific deposition of stains and overlappings of AgNOR and PCNA counts between grades of tumors hamper their applications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty-two surgical specimens from dogs, including mast cell tumors, perianal gland tumors and hyperplasias, fibromas, fibrosarcomas, and normal tissues were studied. The 3 microns dewaxed sections of formalin-fixed tissues were stained to detect AgNORs by a modified inverted incubation technique in a newly developed silver staining device. Data were collected and analyzed using a high-resolution digital microscope camera and image analysis software. Sequential sections were also stained for PCNA using an immunohistochemical method. RESULTS: The improved system for quantifying AgNOR provided more accurate and non-overlapping mean AgNOR counts, which enable us to distinguish benign states from malignant changes. The mean AgNOR cut-off points that discriminated grade II or III mast cell tumors from grade I, perianal gland carcinomas from adenomas (or hyperplasia), fibrosarcomas from non-fibrosarcoma tissues, were 6.0, 14.1, 9.4, and 8.8 respectively. The mean AgNOR areas, relative AgNOR areas, and PCNA positive rates of some malignant and non-malignant tissues (benign tumor and normal tissues) were significantly different (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: This improved system is a sensitive and rather precise method for quantifying the AgNOR and PCNA. It provides a valuable objective measurement for differentiating benign and malignant tumors.
