Abstract:
:PCPH is a gene involved in the regulation of eukaryotic cell proliferation and stress response. Recently, analyses of human and animal solid tumors and cell lines suggested that PCPH protein deregulation may participate in neoplastic progression. To test this possibility, we first examined PCPH expression in several laryngeal carcinoma cell lines by Western analysis. The results showed the presence of altered PCPH polypeptides in these cells, accompanied by the loss of the PCPH form present in normal laryngeal epithelial cells, a deregulated expression pattern similar to that reported previously. We then analyzed PCPH expression in 59 dysplastic lesions of the human larynx, representative of the mild, moderate, and severe stages of the disease. Immunohistochemical data showed that, compared with normal laryngeal mucosa, PCPH expression in the dysplastic samples was associated with areas of epithelial cell maturation rather than with regions of increased proliferation. Furthermore, PCPH expression decreased parallel to the increase in cellular atypia of the dysplastic samples: PCPH either was expressed at very low levels or not expressed in cases of severe dysplasia/carcinoma in situ. This trend toward loss of PCPH expression along malignant progression of the larynx was confirmed by the low to null expression of PCPH in samples of invasive laryngeal carcinoma and by the complete absence of PCPH immunostaining in a laryngeal carcinoma-derived liver metastasis. These results indicated that PCPH protein analysis might allow for the distinction between grades of laryngeal dysplasia. In addition, detection of altered PCPH polypeptides by Western analysis potentially can be applied to the early identification of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma.
