Resumo
A queilite actínica (QA) é uma lesão multifocal do vermelhão do lábio com potencial de malignização para carcinoma epidermóide (CE). O principal fator etiológico envolvido nestas doenças é a exposição excessiva ou em longo prazo à radiação ultravioleta (UV) do sol. Além dos danos diretos aos tecidos do lábio, a radiação UV induz mastócitos (MCs) a liberarem substâncias que participam do processo de imunossupressão permitindo o desenvolvimento neoplásico. Estas células também são associadas a um pior prognóstico e favorecimento a metástase de diversas neoplasias. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a densidade de MCs a fim de melhorar o entendimento da patogenia da QA e o possível mecanismo de sua progressão para o CE. Estudou-se 66 casos de QA, com diferentes graus de atipia epitelial, 57 de CE e 28 casos de mucosa de lábio com lesão benigna não relacionada à exposição solar (grupo controle), diagnosticados clínica e histologicamente, no Departamento de Biociências e Diagnóstico Bucal da FOSJC-UNESP. A amostra foi corada histoquimicamente com hematoxilina-eosina e azul de toluidina e imunoistoquimicamente com anticorpo anti-triptase. Em todos os casos a contagem de MCs foi realizada em microscópio de luz, com aumento final de 400x, em três campos com área de 0,04 mm2 cada. A densidade de MCs no CE, QA e grupo controle foi de 36,91 ± 17,43; 22,17 ± 11,49; 8,86 ± 3,98 ( triptase) e 22,71 ± 11,48; 13,30 ± 6,08; 7,29 ± 3,22 ( azul de toluidina) cells/mm2 , respectivamente. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente pelos testes de Kruskal-wallis, Wilcoxon e Dunn, adotando-se nível de significância de 5%. Houve diferença estatisticamente significante na densidade de MCs entre os três grupos estudados (p=0,0001). Concluiu-se que os MCs participam das alterações que ocorrem na matriz extra-celular da QA, o que pode ser um indício do favorecimento à malignização da QA para CE.
Actinic cheilitis (AC) is a multifocal lesion of lip vermillion with malignant potential to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The main etiology involved in this disease is excessive or long exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) of sunlight. UV radiation damages lip tissues, furthermore it is able to activate mast cells (MCs) that participate of immunossupression process, contributing to tumour development. These cells are associated with a worst prognosis and contribute to tumour metastasis. The aim of this study was perform an assessment of MCs density which can improve the knowledge of AC pathogenesis and the possible mechanism of its progression to SCC. Sixty six cases of AC with different levels of epithelial atypia, fifty seven cases of SCC and twenty eight cases of lip mucosa with benign lesion non related to sunlight exposure (Control group) were studied in Department of Biosciences and Oral Diagnosis of São Paulo State University/UNESP. Samples were stained by histochemistry with hematoxylin/eosin, toluidine blue and, by immunohistochemistry with antitryptase. Quantitative analysis was done in all cases by light microscopy (magnification x400), in three fields with 0,04 mm2 each one. Mast cell density in SCC, AC and control group was 36,91 ± 17,43; 22,17 ± 11,49; 8,86 ± 3,98 cells/mm2 (triptase) and 22,71 ± 11,48; 13,30 ± 6,08; 7,29 ± 3,22 cells/mm2 (toluidine blue), respectively. Data was analyzed by Kruskal-wallis, Wilcoxon and Dunn´s tests, p-values of < 0,05. There was statistically significant difference in mast cell density between the experimental and control groups (p=0,0001). This study concluded that mast cells contribute to changes in extracelular matrix in AC and may be used as indicators for disease progression in lip carcinogenesis.
