A novel technique for the rapid evaluation of potentially novel biomarkers]. PG - 394-401 AB - Oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCC) are malignant tumors with a poor prognosis and low long-term survival rates, even when using modern adjuvant and neoadjuvant therapy forms in addition to surgery. For the clinical estimation of each tumor, it is necessary to define stage-dependent molecular and/or cellular parameters as it is known that OSCC develop along a multistep pathway including the loss of tumor suppressor genes and the amplification of oncogenes which result in changes in protein expression. In order to establish a reliable pattern of molecular and cellular biomarkers, a large number of tumor specimens from different stages of the disease need to be analysed. In this study, biopsies of a collective of 293 OSCC in different stages were screened with the novel technique of tissue chip microarrays by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and immunohistochemistry (IHC). FISH-analysis was performed on the oncogene cyclin D1 and IHC-analysis on the proteins cyclin D1, p53, p16, cdk4, bcl2, mdm2 and rb. Tissue chip technology was shown to facilitate rapid screening for molecular and cellular alterations in different stages of OSCC and revealed reliable and reproducible results that may allow the definition of a multistep pathway model for tumor progression in OSCC.
