Abstract Introduction The carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) arises from a pleomorphic adenoma (PA) and is supposed to gain lipogenesis and glycogenesis during its malignant transformation. Increased lipogenesis is a characteristic of cancer cells, consisting of increased fatty acid synthesis by the enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) and by the accumulation of cytoplasmic lipid droplets, which express adipophilin. The increase in glycolytic metabolism has been associated with the activity of glycolytic enzymes and glucose transporters (GLUTs), whose expression is induced by HIF-1 (inducing factor of hypoxia 1). Objectives To analyze the gene expression of FASN, adipophilin, HIF-1α, and GLUT-1 in PA and CXPA samples. Methodology Gene expression analysis of the FASN, adipophilin, HIF1-α, and GLUT-1 genes was performed by the real-time PCR (qPCR) method. Fourteen cases of PA and 14 cases of CXAP were evaluated. Results FASN, adipophilin, HIF-1α, and GLUT-1 were more expressed in CXAP than in AP, although there was no significant difference between levels of adipophilin expression in CXPA and PA. Conclusion Increased expression of FASN, HIF1-α, and GLUT-1 in CXAP may be associated with malignant transformation of PA, while additional studies are needed to understand the role of adipophilin in PA carcinogenesis. Moreover, this is the first study to investigate the role of these genes in the malignant transformation of PA.

Context. Immunohistochemical stains for p53 are used as a diagnostic marker associated with malignancy in several histologic types of salivary gland tumors. This marker may be useful in differentiating pleomorphic adenoma (PA) from carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CPA), as these tumors are often difficult to distinguish on the basis of morphology alone.Objective. to evaluate whatever inactivation of tumor suppressor gene (p53) increases with the tumor progression from normal salivary tissue to PA and eventually CPA.Design. Paraffin blocks of 29 cases of PA, which were surrounded by normal parotid gland, and 27 cases of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma were retrieved and validated. In all cases of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma, a PA “ghost” was identified, and the malignant element was either undifferentiated carcinoma or adenocarcinoma.Results. The results showed negative nuclear expression of P53 in normal parotid gland. Nuclear P53 was expressed strongly in 6/29 (20.7%) pleomorphic salivary adenoma and 10/27 (37%) carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.Conclusion. Our data suggest that inactivation of p53 may play an important role in the evolution of pleomorphic salivary adenoma and carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma.
