Cell Cycle Inhibitory Protein p27 in Human Middle Ear Cholesteatoma

Abstract: Aim: To evaluate the immunohistochemical and molecular presentation of protein p27 in cholesteatoma. Methods: 42 cholesteatoma samples and 6 external ear canal skin (EECS) specimens were investigated and analyzed taking into consideration congenital, acquired, recurrent cholesteatoma, and EECS. Results: The expression of p27 was found in 16 (38.1%) out of 42 specimens of cholesteatoma and in 5 (83.3%) out of 6 specimens of EECS. There was a significant difference in p27-positive staining rate between EECS and … Show more

“…In addition, increased p63 expression and keratinocyte markers demonstrate uncoordinated hyperproliferation, migration and invasion properties 25 28 . The cell cycle inhibitory protein p27 is down-regulated, 29 and the ErbB-2 protein for accelerated cell proliferation and apoptosis is over-expressed 30 . The c-jun protein (associated with proliferation), c-myc protein (associated with differentiation) and p53 tumour suppressor gene (associated with apoptosis) are all up-regulated in cholesteatoma 2 , 31 , 32 .…”

“…An upregulation of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and its receptor (EGFR), and of keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and its receptor (KGFR) have previously been reported in cholesteatomas (3)(4)(5)(6). Further studies have suggested that an upregulation of these growth factors and their receptors induces cell proliferation of keratinocytes in cholesteatomas (7)(8)(9). In addition to growth factors, the possible roles of microRNAs (miRNA) in the formation of cholesteatomas have recently been proposed (10,11).…”

“…P27 is the novel cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor that acts as a tumor suppressor gene, arrests the cell cycle in phase G1, and stops cellular proliferation. 17 , 18 A limited number of studies have focused on the effect of p27 on the cholesteatoma pathogenesis with conflicting results. 16 - 18 Only one study 18 investigated the role of p27 on recurrence of the cholesteatoma without matching the results with the skin tissue of the same patient.…”

Additionally, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, the role of p27 on extensiveness and bone erosion degree of the cholesteatoma has not been evaluated, yet.…”
