Cerebral cavernous malformation proteins, CCM1, CCM2 and CCM3, are decreased in metastatic lesions in a murine breast carcinoma model
Biotech Histochem. 2024 Jan 31:1-8. doi: 10.1080/10520295.2024.2305114. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThree genes are associated with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs): CCM1, CCM2 and CCM3. These genes participate in microvascular angiogenesis, cell-to-cell junctions, migration and apoptosis. We evaluated the expression in vivo of CCM genes in primary tumors and metastastases in a murine model of metastatic breast carcinoma. We used cell lines obtained from metastasis of 4T1, 4TLM and 4THM breast cancer to liver and heart. These cells were injected into the mammary ridge of Balb/C female mice. After 27 days, the prim...

Relation of Langerhans cell size to buccal carcinoma
Biotech Histochem. 2024 Jan 31:1-8. doi: 10.1080/10520295.2024.2305499. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOral cancer decreases quality of life despite timely medical management. The carcinogens in tobacco products and their role in tumorigenesis are well documented. Langerhans cells (LCs) are a subset of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that monitor the tumor microenvironment and engulf carcinogens and foreign bodies. We investigated the distribution and size of LCs and their relation to the mode of tobacco consumption and clinical outcome in patients with buccal carcinoma. We recruited patients with oral cancer who were sched...

Effects of an energy drink on myonectin in the liver, kidney and skeletal muscle of exercised rats
Biotech Histochem. 2024 Jan 31:1-7. doi: 10.1080/10520295.2024.2305113. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMyonectin is a hormone that is produced mainly by skeletal muscle. We investigated the effects of exercise and energy drink (ED) administration on myonectin expression in skeletal muscle, liver and kidney tissue in rats; myonectin is produced by all three tissues. We used 28 male albino rats in four groups: untreated control (C), exercise (E), energy drink (ED) and exercise + energy drink (E + ED). The E and E + ED groups were exercised using a treadmill for 4 weeks. We also administered 3.5 ml/kg/day ED during week 1, 7 m...

Role of asprosin and meteorin-like peptide in progression of actinic keratosis to squamous cell carcinoma
Biotech Histochem. 2024 Jan 9:1-8. doi: 10.1080/10520295.2024.2302016. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSquamous cell carcinoma (SCC) often develops from an underlying premalignant lesion. Factors that affect the progression of actinic keratosis (AK) to invasive SCC are not fully known. Asprosin (ASP) and meteorin-like peptide (METRNL) are adipokines that are involved primarily in glucose metabolism. We investigated the expression of ASP and METRNL in AK and SCC to evaluate the role of these adipokines in the development of SCC. We used 15 SCC specimens, 12 AK specimens and 12 healthy control skin specimens. ASP and METRNL pr...

Histochemical and morphological evaluation of a glyoxal acid-free fixative

Epub 2024 Jan 9.ABSTRACTThe application of most chemical fixatives, such as formalin, in the anatomic pathology laboratory requires safety training and hazardous chemical monitoring due to the toxicity and health risks associated with their use. Consequently, the use of formalin has been banned in most applications in Europe; the primary exception is its use in the histology laboratory in lieu of a suitable and safer alternative. Glyoxal based solutions, several of which are available commercially, are the most promising alternative fixatives, bec...
