Equine penile squamous cell carcinoma: expression of biomarker proteins and EcPV2.

Abstract: Equine penile squamous cell carcinoma (EpSCC) is a relatively common cutaneous neoplasm with a poor prognosis. In this study, we aimed to determine the protein expression and colocalisation of FRA1, c-Myc, Cyclin D1, and MMP7 in normal (NT), tumour (T), hyperplastic epidermis and/or squamous papilloma (Hyp/Pap), poorly-differentiated (PDSCC), or well-differentiated (WDSCC) EpSCC using a tissue array approach. Further objectives were to correlate protein expression to (i) levels of inflammation, using a convolutional neural network (ii) equine papillomavirus 2 (EcPV2) infection, detected using PCR amplification. We found an increase in expression of FRA1 in EpSCC compared to NT samples. c-Myc expression was higher in Hyp/Pap and WDSCC but not PDSCC whereas MMP7 was reduced in WDSCC compared with NT. There was a significant increase in the global intersection coefficient (GIC) of FRA1 with MMP7, c-Myc, and Cyclin D1 in EpSCC. Conversely, GIC for MMP7 with c-Myc was reduced in EpSCC tissue. Inflammation was positively associated with EcPV2 infection in both NT and EpSCC but not Hyp/Pap. Changes in protein expression could be correlated with EcPV2 for Cyclin D1 and c-Myc. Our results evaluate novel biomarkers of EpSCC and a putative correlation between the expression of biomarkers, EcPV2 infection and inflammation.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

The given research article investigates the protein expression relevant to equine penile squamous cell carcinoma (EpSCC) and its relation to inflammation and equine papillomavirus 2 (EcPV2) infection. The study also examines the potential contributions of variations in these protein levels to EpSCC.

Methods and Materials

  • The analysis was conducted by assessing protein expression and co-localization of FRA1, c-Myc, Cyclin D1, and MMP7 in different types of tissue samples. They used tissue samples that were normal (NT), cancerous (T), had hyperplastic epidermis and/or squamous papilloma (Hyp/Pap), poorly differentiated EpSCC (PDSCC), or well-differentiated EpSCC (WDSCC).
  • A tissue array approach was used for the mentioned assessment.
  • The other objectives of the study were to explore the relationship between protein expression and inflammation levels, and the presence of EcPV2 infection. Inflammation was measured using a computational method called a convolutional neural network, and the EcPV2 infection was detected through a lab technique called PCR amplification.

Results

  • Results of this study showed an increase in the expression of the protein FRA1 in EpSCC compared to NT samples. Also, c-Myc expression was found to be higher in Hyp/Pap and WDSCC but not in PDSCC samples. Moreover, the expression of MMP7 was reduced in WDSCC compared with NT samples.
  • The findings indicated an important increase in the global intersection coefficient (GIC) of FRA1 along with MMP7, c-Myc, and Cyclin D1 in EpSCC tissues. However, the GIC for MMP7 and c-Myc was reduced in the tissues affected by EpSCC.
  • They found that inflammation was positively related to EcPV2 infection in both, the NT and EpSCC samples but not in the Hyp/Pap samples.
  • Furthermore, the alterations in the expression of Cyclin D1 and c-Myc proteins could be associated with the presence of EcPV2.

Conclusion

  • The study concluded that novel biomarkers that could be influential in evaluating EpSCC were discovered and the results indicated a probable correlation between the expression of specific biomarkers, EcPV2 infection, and inflammation levels.
