Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to characterize changes in the expression of copper–zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) and manganese SOD (Mn-SOD) in oral squamous-cell carcinoma (OSCC).

Methods

Real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction analysis of Cu/Zn-SOD and Mn-SOD mRNA expression was carried out in 50 pairs of OSCC tissue specimens and corresponding normal tissues. Mn-SOD protein expression was evaluated further in 65 OSCC tissue samples and 33 oral premalignant lesions (OPLs) using immunohistochemistry.

Results

Significant (P < 0.001) upregulation of Mn-SOD mRNA expression was observed in OSCC tissues compared with the normal tissue counterparts, whereas no significant difference was detected in Cu/Zn-SOD expression. Significant increases in Mn-SOD protein expression were seen in both OPLs (P < 0.001) and OSCC tissue (P < 0.001) together with a high incidence of lymph node metastasis (P = 0.04).

Conclusions

Our findings suggested that Mn-SOD overexpression is a frequent and early event during oral carcinogenesis and could contribute to aggressive OSCC.
