Comparing the Immuno-Expression of Endothelial Markers in Normal Oral Mucosa, Oral Epithelial Dysplasia and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma: Relationship between E-Cadherin, Vimentin, CD31, CD117 and Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition
Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the expression of E-cadherin, Vimentin, CD31, CD117 in Oral Epithelial Dysplasia (OED) and Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), in comparison with Normal Oral Mucosa (NOM).
Material and Methods:Descriptive case study. Histological samples were analyzed by immunohistochemistry against E-cadherin, Vimentin, CD31, CD117. E-cadherin expression was evaluated by extent and intensity, Vimentin was evaluated by intensity and CD31 and C117 quantitatively.
Results:The extent of E-cadherin was grea… Show more
