Abstract

Objectives: Angiogenesis is a fundamental process in tumour growth and metastasis. VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor) is a key regulator of angiogenesis and it has been identified in a wide variety of malignancies, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. However, the regulation of VEGF expression in tumour angiogenesis is not well defined. The tumour-suppressor gene p53 has been thought to regulate VEGF. In this study, we examined the role of p53 gene on VEGF expression. Patients and Methods: Clinical records of patients' who underwent total or partial laryngectomy between 1999-2002 years were reviewed. Of these, all paraffin-embedded specimens of 27 patients (27 males; mean age 55 years; range 39 to 74 years) with diagnosis of larynx epidermoid carcinoma were immunostained to evaluate VEGF expression, p53 gene status and microvessel density (MVD). Variables were statistically examined. Results: Vascular endothelial growth factor positive staining was detected in 11 (40.7%) and p53 mutations were identified in 16 (60%) of 27 tumours. No association was detected between p53 mutations and VEGF expression level (p>0.05). Statistical analysis gave a clear correlation between the tumour vascularity and the VEGF protein expression (p<0.05). Vascular endothelial growth factor negative tumours showed a lower mean number of microvessels per micro­scopic field (29.6±6.6) than VEGF positive tumours (40.8±15.2). P53 and VEGF expression levels and MVD did not correlate with the T-stage, N-status, tumour localization and histological grading (p>0.05). Conclusion: The higher microvessel density in VEGF positive tumours supports the importance of VEGF for tumour angiogenesis in laryngeal carcinoma. However, our result does not support the hypothesis of a p53 regulation on the angiogenic process through a VEGF up-regulation.

Özet

Amaç: Anjiyogenez tümör büyümesi ve metastazındaki temel süreç­lerden biridir. VEGF (Vascular endothelial growth factor), anjiyogenezin temel düzenleyicisidir ve baş-boyun skuamöz hücreli karsinomunun da içerisinde bulunduğu birçok malignitede saptanmıştır. Fakat, tümör anjiyogenezinde VEGF ekspresyonunun düzenlenmesi tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Bir tümör-süpressör gen olan p53 geninin VEGF ekspresyonunun düzenleyicisi olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu ça­lışmada, p53 geninin VEGF ekspresyonu üzerindeki etkisi incelendi. Hastalar ve Yöntemler: 1999 ve 2002 yılları arasında, total veya parsiyel larenjektomi ameliyatı uygulanan hastalara ait klinik kayıtlar göz­den geçirildi. Bunlardan larenks epidermoid karsinomu tanısı konmuş 27 hastanın (27 erkek; ort. yaş 55; dağılım 39-74) parafine batırılmış spesimenleri çalışmaya alındı. Örnek dokularda, VEGF ekspresyonu, p53 gen durumu ve mikrodamar yoğunluğu (MDY) immünhistokimyasal yöntemle incelendi. Değişkenler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Vascular endothelial growth factor pozitifliği 11 tümörde (%40.7) ve p53 mutasyonları 16 tümörde (%60) saptandı. P53 mutasyonları ile VEGF ekspresyon derecesi arasında bir ilişki bulunamadı (p>0.05). İstatistiksel olarak tümör vaskülarizasyonu ile VEGF protein ekspresyonu arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardı (p 0.05). Sonuç: Vascular endothelial growth factor pozitif tümörlerde MDY'nin yüksek olması larenks karsinomu anjiyogenezinde VEGF'nin önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Fakat sonuçlarımız, p53 geninin VEGF ekspres-yonunu değiştirerek anjiyogenezi düzenlediği hipotezini destekleme­mektedir.
