While substantial efforts have been made to test the cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic effects of BQ extract and its components, the disease mechanisms underlying BQ-induced oral carcinogenesis remain obscure. Here, we show that a neuronal protein, microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), was induced by BQ extract in cultured normal human oral keratinocytes (NHOKs). Subsequent analyses demonstrated that such induction was more eminent and consistent in the high-molecular-weight isoform of MAP2 (hmw-MAP2) than that in its low-molecular-weight counterpart (lmw-MAP2). Furthermore, we analyzed expression of hmw-MAP2 protein in 88 oral specimens consisting of clinicopathologically pre-malignant (leukoplakia) and malignant (OSCC) lesions, along with their adjacent normal mucosa. Immunohistochemistry revealed that, with the exposure to BQ, the hmw-MAP2 was over-expressed in 41.2% (7/17) of OSCC, 11.2% (1/9) of leukoplakia and none (0/19) of normal mucosa. In contrast, expression of the hmw-MAP2 was barely detected in BQ-free OSCC. These results suggest a significant correlation between expression of the hmw-MAP2 and BQ-associated progression of oral carcinogenesis (P=0.0046). Interestingly, the hmw-MAP2 was found to preferentially express in histopathologically less differentiated OSCC (P=0.014); the percentages of positive staining in poorly, moderately and well differentiated OSCC were 62.5, 21.4 and 7.1 %, respectively. However, BQ chewing appeared to have marginal correlation with such propensity. Finally, we show that the majority of hmw-MAP2-positive poorly differentiated lesions were also histopathologically invasive. Taken together, these findings suggest the possibility that the hmw-MAP2 may be a diagnostic marker for BQ-chewing lesions and a potential therapeutic target. To our knowledge, this study has provided the first clinical implication that closely links a cytoskeletal protein to BQ-associated oral cancer. ? Oxford University Press; all rights reserved. |
