Differential Expression of Stem Cell Markers in Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasia
Ocular Surface Squamous Neoplasm (OSSN) is the neoplasia arising from the conjunctiva, cornea and limbus. OSSN ranges from mild, moderate, severe dysplasia, carcinoma in situ (CIS) to squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Recent findings on cancer stem cells theory indicate that population of stem-like cell as in neoplasia determines its heterogeneity and complexity leading to varying tumor developmen...
متن کاملOcular Surface Squamous Neoplasia
The ocular surface is composed of the conjunctiva and the cornea. The conjunctiva is a mucous membrane which covers the globe and inner part of the eyelids. The morphology of conjunctival epithelial cells are nonkeratinized stratified epithelia which vary from cuboidal over the tarsus, to columnar in the fornices, to squamous epithelia on the globe. Goblet cells account for up to 10% of the bas...
متن کاملElevated expression of ABCB5 in ocular surface squamous neoplasia.
ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 5 (ABCB5) is a new member of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily and has been reported as a novel marker for limbal stem cell (LSC), which is essential for corneal homeostasis. ABCB5 expression has also been discovered in the subpopulation of several cancer cells containing the cancer stem cell (CSC). However, the pathogenetic relationship between LSC an...
متن کاملEpidemiology of ocular surface squamous neoplasia in Africa
OBJECTIVES To describe the epidemiology and an aetiological model of ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) in Africa. METHODS Systematic and non-systematic review methods were used. Incidence was obtained from the International Agency for Research on Cancer. We searched PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science and the reference lists of articles retrieved. Meta-analyses were conducted using a fixed-...
متن کاملP53 and Ki67 protein expression in ocular squamous cell carcinomas of dairy cattle
Role of the protein overexpression is very important in the pathogenesis, diagnosis and prognosis of neoplasia. Cases of overexpression of p53 and Ki67 proteins were investigated in 19 ocular squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) in dairy cows. Microscopically, insix cases the tumors were carcinoma in situ (noninvasive carcinoma, G0), and in the remaining 13 cases the tumors were invasive carcinoma. ...
