Abstract：
:Fluorescence visualization devices (FVs) are useful for detecting malignant lesions because of their simple and noninvasive application. However, their quantitative application has been challenging. This study aimed to quantitatively and statistically evaluate the change in fluorescence intensity (FI) during the progression from normal epithelium to squamous cell carcinoma using a reproducible animal tongue carcinogenesis model. To establish this model, rats were treated with 50 ppm 4-Nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO) in their drinking water for 10, 15, and 20 weeks. After 4NQO administration, each rat tongue was evaluated by gross observation, histology, and FI measurements. Fluorescence images were captured by FV, and ImageJ was used to measure FI, which was analyzed quantitatively and statistically. The establishment of a reproducible tumor progression model was confirmed, showing precancerous lesions (low-grade dysplasia [LGD]), early cancers (high-grade dysplasia/carcinoma in situ [HGD/CIS]), and advanced cancers (Cancer). This carcinogenesis model was quantitatively evaluated by FI. The FI of LGD stage was 54.6, which was highest intensity of all groups. Subsequently, the HGD/CIS and Cancer stages showed decreased FI (HGD/CIS: 46.1, Cancer: 49.1) and manifested as dark spots. This result indicates that FI had more variation and a wider range with increasing tumor progression. We demonstrated that FI migration and an uneven distribution are consistent with tumor progression. Since each step of tumor progression occurs reproducibly in this animal model, statistical evaluation was possible. In addition, tumor progression can be monitored by this new FI analysis method in humans.
