초록
Purpose Actinic keratosis (AK) is an incipient form of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We determined if the pattern of expression of keratin-14 (K14) is a factor for tumor progression in AK and SCC. Materials and Methods Eighteen sections from the tissues of 16 patients were stained with anti-K14 antibody and p16INK4a. Among the 16 patients, 4 were diagnosed with both SCC and AK at the same site, but AK developed first and SCC developed subsequently. Thus, SCC may have evolved from AK. The other 12 patients were only diagnosed with AK. Results In all of the AK and SCC tissues, basement membranes showed positive staining for K14. However, strong reactivities were shown in the spinous and granular layers and focuses of dermal invasion in the SCC tissues developed from AK. Two and 3 of the 12 AK cases had moderately positive reactions for K14 in the spinous and granular layers, respectively. Also, all SCC tissues except one had moderate-to-strong reactions in the basal, spinous, and granular layers for p16INK4a. Two of the 12 AK cases had weak-to-moderate positive reactions in the basal, spinous, and horny layers for p16INK4a. Conclusion The results of our study advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of SCC developing from AK. The results also indicate a differential role in the control of K14 in normal epithelia, AK, and SCC. K14 expression in the spinous and granular layers may be a prognostic factor for tumor progression of AK.
Abstract
Purpose Actinic keratosis (AK) is an incipient form of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). We determined if the pattern of expression of keratin-14 (K14) is a factor for tumor progression in AK and SCC. Materials and Methods Eighteen sections from the tissues of 16 patients were stained with anti-K14 antibody and p16INK4a. Among the 16 patients, 4 were diagnosed with both SCC and AK at the same site, but AK developed first and SCC developed subsequently. Thus, SCC may have evolved from AK. The other 12 patients were only diagnosed with AK. Results In all of the AK and SCC tissues, basement membranes showed positive staining for K14. However, strong reactivities were shown in the spinous and granular layers and focuses of dermal invasion in the SCC tissues developed from AK. Two and 3 of the 12 AK cases had moderately positive reactions for K14 in the spinous and granular layers, respectively. Also, all SCC tissues except one had moderate-to-strong reactions in the basal, spinous, and granular layers for p16INK4a. Two of the 12 AK cases had weak-to-moderate positive reactions in the basal, spinous, and horny layers for p16INK4a. Conclusion The results of our study advance our understanding of the pathogenesis of SCC developing from AK. The results also indicate a differential role in the control of K14 in normal epithelia, AK, and SCC. K14 expression in the spinous and granular layers may be a prognostic factor for tumor progression of AK.
