    (A) Histochemical visualization of HA (brown) counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Representative micrographs depict the pancreata of KPT and KP mice 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months post-tamoxifen injection. Images of KPT pancreata depict dysplastic regions containing ADM and/or PanIN. Masson’s trichrome staining depicting collagen deposition (blue) in serial sections from the same KPT pancreata as shown in (A) , n = 7 for KP mice, n = 4 for 1M KPT mice, n = 6 for 2M KPT, n = 6 for 3M KPT. Magnification of bright field images is 20X. (B) Representative multiplexed IF micrographs for detection of nuclei (DAPI, blue), αSMA (white), CK19 (red), and Cpa1 (green). Rows depict healthy acinar tissue (acinar), a region of ADM and PanIN lesions. Micrographs are representative of the pancreata of KPT mice 2 months post tamoxifen treatment ( n = 3), magnification is 63X. All scale bars represent 100 μm.We sought to identify the source of HA in regions of ADM, via the detection of activated PSC. Increased activation and proliferation of PSC are directly involved in the development of PDAC associated fibrosis via the deposition of ECM components including HA and collagen in the tumor microenvironment . Multiplexed IF staining against αSMA, CK19 and Cpa1 revealed the presence of activated PSC in proximity to PanIN lesions and infiltrating regions of ADM in KPT mice. Activated αSMA-positive PSCs were not observed in regions of Cpa1 + /CK19 - healthy acinar tissue ( Fig 5B , top panel). Activated PSC were observed infiltrating regions of ADM containing Cpa1 + /CK19 + cells undergoing ADM ( Fig 5B , middle panel), and CK19 + /Cpa1 - PanIN lesions were surrounded by activated PSC ( Fig 5B , bottom panel). These observations indicate that PSC recruitment and/or activation occur during ADM and that neoplasia-associated HA production and PSC activation precede collagen deposition, which is associated with PanIN lesions. To our knowledge, the role of desmoplasia in general, or HA deposition specifically, in the initiation of PDAC has not been investigated in detail, due to the paucity of animal models. While PSC activation in regions of ADM is associated with HA deposition, additional experiments are necessary to definitively identify the specific cellular origin of HA in regions of ADM. These results establish the KPT model as an ideal model to study the role of the desmoplastic response in PDAC development from a defined population of adult cells.

To our knowledge, the role of desmoplasia in general, or HA deposition specifically, in the initiation of PDAC has not been investigated in detail, due to the paucity of animal models. While PSC activation in regions of ADM is associated with HA deposition, additional experiments are necessary to definitively identify the specific cellular origin of HA in regions of ADM. These results establish the KPT model as an ideal model to study the role of the desmoplastic response in PDAC development from a defined population of adult cells.

    Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Histochemical visualization of HA (brown) counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Representative micrographs depict the pancreata of KPT and KP mice 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months post-tamoxifen injection. Images of KPT pancreata depict dysplastic regions containing ADM and/or PanIN. Masson’s trichrome staining depicting collagen deposition (blue) in serial sections from the same KPT pancreata as shown in (A) , n = 7 for KP mice, n = 4 for 1M KPT mice, n = 6 for 2M KPT, n = 6 for 3M KPT. Magnification of bright field images is 20X. (B) Representative multiplexed IF micrographs for detection of nuclei (DAPI, blue), αSMA (white), CK19 (red), and Cpa1 (green). Rows depict healthy acinar tissue (acinar), a region of ADM and PanIN lesions. Micrographs are representative of the pancreata of KPT mice 2 months post tamoxifen treatment ( n = 3), magnification is 63X. All scale bars represent 100 μm.We sought to identify the source of HA in regions of ADM, via the detection of activated PSC. Increased activation and proliferation of PSC are directly involved in the development of PDAC associated fibrosis via the deposition of ECM components including HA and collagen in the tumor microenvironment . Multiplexed IF staining against αSMA, CK19 and Cpa1 revealed the presence of activated PSC in proximity to PanIN lesions and infiltrating regions of ADM in KPT mice. Activated αSMA-positive PSCs were not observed in regions of Cpa1 + /CK19 - healthy acinar tissue ( Fig 5B , top panel). Activated PSC were observed infiltrating regions of ADM containing Cpa1 + /CK19 + cells undergoing ADM ( Fig 5B , middle panel), and CK19 + /Cpa1 - PanIN lesions were surrounded by activated PSC ( Fig 5B , bottom panel). These observations indicate that PSC recruitment and/or activation occur during ADM and that neoplasia-associated HA production and PSC activation precede collagen deposition, which is associated with PanIN lesions. To our knowledge, the role of desmoplasia in general, or HA deposition specifically, in the initiation of PDAC has not been investigated in detail, due to the paucity of animal models. While PSC activation in regions of ADM is associated with HA deposition, additional experiments are necessary to definitively identify the specific cellular origin of HA in regions of ADM.

    Article Snippet: The following primary antibodies were used: concentrated rabbit anti-human Ki67 (CellMarque, SIGMA ALDRICH, USA), and concentrated monoclonal mouse anti-human Ck19 (CellMarque, SIGMA ALDRICH, USA).

    Techniques:

    Immunolabeling of Ck19 and Ki67 for Non-healing CTU and OSCC group. The black arrow indicates positive immunolabeling of nuclei and white asterisk indicates positive immunolabeling of cytoplasm. The immunostaining was considered negative when observed 0–5% positive cells. The analysis of the samples was performed by a single-blind examiner. The positive immunostaining was counted for each group and expressed. Stacked bars represent the percentage of immunolabelled samples for each biomarker used according to their score (negative low-medium-high). The sections were analyzed by optical microscopy at a magnification of 20X and 400 X. p <0.05 indicates statistical significance. 2A- OSCC of the lateral tongue diagnosed at an early stage. 2B- Islet cells with Ck19 positive cytoplasm. OSCC group. 2C-High index of Ki67, OSCC group. 2D- Non healing Chronic Traumatic Ulcer located on the lateral tongue associated with sharp cups and parafunctional habits (tongue interposition). The ulcer did not heal after 15 days of the CMI source control. 2E Niches of Ck19 positive cells with a suprabasal pattern found within the hyperplastic epithelium of the edges of the NHCTU. 2F Suprabasal expression of Ki67, NHCTU group. Nuclear alterations were evidenced with the Ki67 immunostaining.

    The epithelium homeostasis of the oral mucosa involves a balance between cell differentiation and cell proliferation. CMI could generate a stimulus in the increase of immature Ck19 cells (OKSC) and a continuous presence of these cells, known for their genomic instability, in the suprabasal layers of the oral epithelium. These cells, considered as a target of different carcinogens, are also involved in the self-renewal of the epithelium and healing events. An epithelial environment of hyperproliferation and cellular immaturity is generated chronically next to a wound with no tendency to cure. CMI could act as a promoter of oral carcinogenesis through these supposed mechanisms.
