Abstract
AIM
The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of Ki67, CD105 and α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) expression in oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) and oral squamous cell carcinoma in the background of OSF (OSCC-SMF).
METHODS
The study was carried out on paraffin-embedded tissues of 30 normal oral mucosa (NOM), 50 OSF cases and 105 OSCC-SMF. The immunohistochemistry was carried out to evaluate the expression of Ki67, CD105 and α-SMA antigen.
RESULTS
Ki67 labelling index (LI), CD105 and α-SMA expression showed increasing trend from NOM, low-risk epithelial dysplasia (LRED), high-risk epithelial dysplasia (HRED), well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma (WDSCC), moderately differentiated squamous cell carcinoma to poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. However, there was no significant difference of α-SMA expression between HRED and WDSCC. In OSCC-SMF, Ki67 LI, CD105 and α-SMA were significantly higher in advanced clinical TNM stage, metastasis and less than 3 years patient survival as compared with early clinical TNM stage, non-metastasis and 3 years or more patient survival.
CONCLUSION
Ki67 LI, α-SMA and CD105 expression alone or together correspond with the disease progression model of SMF. Hence, expression of these markers can be used as a predictive marker of clinical outcome of OSCC-SMF.
