Análise das proteínas relacionadas a formação de metástase em linhagens de adenocarcinoma gástrico
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-03-11) VALENTE, Tárik Olívar de Nunes; CALCAGNO, Danielle Queiroz; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1326603355062154; KHAYAT, André Salim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6305099258051586
Gastric cancer is a serious public health problem worldwide. The high incidence of advanced tumors with poor survival by metastasis, especially in the north, made us realize the comparative study of strains of metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma (AGP01) with gastric adenocarcinoma without metastasis (ACP02) by proteomic evaluation of cell motility that may be related to the formation of these metastasis. Proteomic study was conducted strains AGP01 and ACP02 through the technique of high performance liquid chromatography 2D Nanoultra (UPLC) together with nanoESI - (MSE mudpit) and functional analysis of differentially expressed proteins in the Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) software. We observed 19 proteins with increased expression in AGP01 lineage regarding ACP02, which are related to movement, organization and cell morphology, where we suggest that ACTB, ANXA1, LGALS1, IQGAP1, EZR, MSN, MYH9 and S100A11 proteins, according to our findings and supported by the research literature is associated with metastasis of gastric adenocarcinomas. Other proteins showed strong expression in our study, but its expression in the research literature is related to the dissemination routes only other tumors, such as breast (RAB5C), lung (PLS1 and CAP1), rectum (ACTN1) and GIST (SYNE2). Conflicting with our study, the expressions of CAPZA1, FLNA and FLNC protein, were observed in the literature as an inhibitor of tumor advancement, where the expression of MYL6, MYL6B and ACTN2 proteins first appear as being related to cell motility, invasion and metastasis in cancer.

Análise imunohistoquímica da ADAMTS-1 e proteoglicanos no ameloblastoma e no tumor odontogênico cístico calcificante
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-06-30) SOUZA NETO, Osvaldo Rodrigues de; PINHEIRO, João de Jesus Viana; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1365260779826770
Ameloblastoma and calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) are odontogenic tumors with origin odontogenic epithelium, but it is not yet known stimulus or trigger that lead to neoplastic transformation of tumors. The biological behavior of the lesions is distinct because the ameloblastoma is more aggressive and significant rate of tumor recurrence. CCOT is a less aggressive tumor and recurrence rarely there and therefore was used as a control in the study. Therefore, the complete elucidation of the mechanisms by which these odontogenic tumors show such biological behavior remains a challenge for researchers. The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with thrombospondin) are metalloendopeptidases who are dependent on zinc in its catalytic domain. These enzymes have catalytic activity against a broad range of substrates including proteoglycans (aggrecan, brevican and versican), which are proteins present in the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ADAMTS exhibit structural features that confer great potential to display multiple functions. Exhibit crucial role in various processes such as proliferation, adhesion, invasion and cell signaling. Changes to these enzymes are present in various tumors, suggesting that these proteins may be involved in the carcinogenic process in different ways. Specifically, ADAMTS-1 has been correlated with tumorigenesis of some cancers such as in breast, lung and pancreatic cancer. Like ADAMTS, aggrecan, versican and brevican are expressed in various tumors and altered regulation of proteoglycans may contribute to the development of carcinogenesis. In this work ADAMTS-1, aggrecan, brevican and versican in ameloblastoma and CCOT were studied, 20 cases of ameloblastoma and 6 cases of TOCC, used as controls were included. We evaluated the expression of ADAMTS-1, aggrecan, brevican and versican by immunohistochemical study and the marking areas were measured and analyzed. To correlation analysis between the studied proteins used the Spearman test. All samples of ameloblastoma expressed ADAMTS-1, aggrecan, brevican and versican. All samples TOCC also expressed the same proteins, but in significantly less than the amount ameloblastoma. The difference in expression of ADAMTS-1 and brevican in the epithelium of ameloblastoma and of TOCC was statistically significant (p<0.0105). As the expression of aggrecan and versican, between ameloblastoma and TOCC, in the epithelium was also statistically significant (p<0.0067) and (p<0.0148), respectively. There was no correlation between the proteins studied.

Avaliação da expressão da proteína twist em amostras de carcinoma epidermóide bucal e sua correlação com aspectos clínico-patológicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014) ABREU, Michelle Carvalho; PONTES, Hélder Antônio Rebelo; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8076555757131891; KHAYAT, André Salim; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6305099258051586
Among the malignant neoplasms that occur in the mouth, 95% are represented by oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc). in brazil, the estimates for the 2014, according to the inca point more than 15,290 new cases. these data show that the oscc represents a public health problem because of the morbidity away a large numbers of patients from de work, and weigh the cost of health care in the state, due the days of hospitalization and the treatment applied. the pathogenesis of the oscc is related to genetic factors as well as chemical agents, such as tobacco and alcohol, physical and biological agents considered carcinogenic. the transcription factor twist was recently appointed as an important regulator of emt during tumor progression and metastasis and has become an important diagnostic and prognostic marker for patients due to the fact its positive upregulation and methylation of the gene are being implicated in several cancers. although many studies provide important insights into understanding the biology of malignant tumors as well as genes involved in emt, twist mechanisms in tumorigenesis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition in oral squamous cell carcinoma remain to be elucidated. in this study we investigated the pattern of expression of twist protein by immunohistochemical technique in 59 oscc samples from patients from the national health system of the state of pará and evaluated the possible association of the results with clinical and pathologic features survival of patients.the results showed a statistically significant association between alcohol consumption and the most sites affected by the oscc, suggesting that ethanol may play a potentiating role of tobacco agents in sites that receive greater exposure of these substances. the expression of twist protein also showed a decrease in average survival of individuals. despite this decline have not shown statistical significance in our studies, we believe that it should be more widely studied, aiming at a better understanding of its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma. the positivity of protein labeling demonstrated relationship to smoking, where 87.8% of smoking patients showed positive staining for protein, corroborating the fact that smoking can modulate the expression of emt markers including twist. in summary, the results of this study show some intriguing correlations, which in our opinion deserve special attention in order to be clarified. as the intracellular localization of the protein observed in this study, is probably related to some oncogenic process is not described
