Reduction in oral mucosa micronuclei frequency following alpha-tocopherol treatment of oral leukoplakia.
Micronuclei frequency, a marker of genotoxicity, was studied within a trial of alpha-tocopherol for chemoprevention of oral leukoplakia. Oral swabs were obtained from two sites, the leukoplakia lesion and normal-appearing mucosa, at baseline and following 24 weeks of therapy with 400 international units of alpha-tocopherol twice daily. These specimens were analyzed for micronuclei frequency. Th...
متن کاملImmunohistochemical Eexpression of Endothelin A Receptor in Dysplastic Oral Mucosa
Background: Recent researches have provided evidences of the importance of endothelin axis in carcinogenesis. According to our knowledge, no data exists about endothelin A receptor (ETA) expression in dysplastic oral mucosa (DOM). Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate immunohistochemical expression of ETA in DOM. Methods:</strong...
متن کاملComparative Study of Exfoliated Oral Mucosal Cell Micronuclei Frequency in Normal, Precancerous and Malignant Epithelium
Analysis of exfoliated buccal cell micronuclei (MN) is a sensitive method of monitoring genetic damage in the human population. In the present study 50 patients with precancerous or malignant oral epithelial lesions from the Departments of Facio-maxillary and ENT Surgery of RKMSP Hospital, Kolkata were compared with 50 age and sex matched healthy controls without any oral lesions.The MN frequen...
متن کاملComparative Study of Expression of Smad3 in Oral Lichen Planus and Normal Oral Mucosa
Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa which is considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a premalignant condition. One step in malignant development is so called epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby epithelial cells acquire mesenchymal characteristics. A factor known to induce EMT is the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β...
متن کاملIncreased Micronuclei Frequency in Oral and Lingual Epithelium of Treated Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disease characterized by persistent high levels of glucose in plasma. Chronic hyperglycemia is thought to increase oxidative stress and the formation of free radicals that in turn damage cells. Thus, we decided to determine the frequency of nuclear abnormalities in epithelial cells from cheek and tongue mucosa of DM patients with type 1 (DM1, treated only w...
