ABSTRACT
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunoexpression of TWIST and p-Akt proteins in oralleukoplakia (OL) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), correlating their expressions with the histological features of the lesions. Studydesign:
Immunohistochemical studies were carried out on 10 normal oral epithelium, 30 OL and 20 OSCC formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Immunoperoxidase reactions for TWIST and p-Akt proteins were applied on the specimens and the positivity of the reactions was calculated for 1000 epithelial cells.Results:
Kruskal-Wallis and Dunns post tests revealed a significant difference in TWIST and p-Akt immune expression among normal oral mucosa, OL and OSCC. In addition, a significant positive correlation was found between TWIST and p-Akt expressions according to the Pearsons correlation test.Conclusions:
The results obtained in the current study suggest that TWIST and p-Akt may participate of the multistep process of oral carcinogenesis since its early stages (AU)
