p53 expression in pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, keratoacanthoma, and squamous cell carcinoma of skin

Abstract: Background. Expression of p53 protein has been described in a variety of human malignant tumors. Recent reports have also demonstrated its presence in benign and reactive lesions. The significance of p53 expression is unclear. Methods. This study examines the p53 expression in proliferative lesions of skin, including 6 pseudoepitheliomatous hyperplasia, 33 keratoacanthoma, and 45 squamous cell carcinoma, and to evaluate its significance. Results. p53 expression was observed in all of the six cases of pseudoepi… Show more

“…Mutant p53 protein, on the other hand, is generally stable with a longer half-life (1.5-7 hr), and thus its accumulation can be detected. Increases of p53 protein in squamous cell carcinoma and VC have been reported [14], suggesting that mutant p53 gene products may be a prognostic indicator of malignancy [22]. In this study, most cases in both VC and SP were positive for the histone H3 mRNA signal.…”

“…The accumulation of nuclear p53 found in hyperplastic parathyroid glands could be a physiological and reactive response of native p53 in actively proliferating cells (28)(29)(30)(31). The presence of p53 protein has previously been described in 22% of primary parathyroid hyperplasias (12).…”

“…Unlike many studies, we also took into account the intensity of immunoreactivity for both p53 and pRb, consistent with other studies that have evaluated their expression abnormalities in organ systems other than bladder cancer. [32][33][34][35][36][37][38] The final composite score comprised both extent and intensity components. We believe that this composite scoring system, together with the assignment of a narrower range for p53 overexpression (score 4-6) and pRb underexpression (score 0-2), possibly allows a better definition of abnormalities of p53 and pRb expression, thus providing more rigor in examining the correlation between these abnormalities and clinical outcome.…”
