ResumenExpression of the cell adhesion molecules E-cadherin, P-cadherin and α6β4 integrin and of the keratin K13 has been analyzed in chemically induced benign skin papillomas with genetically pre-determined risks for malignant conversion. It has been previously shown that papillomas induced in mice lacking both alleles of the p53 gene have a much higher rate of malignant conversion than those induced in wild-type and heterozygous p53 mice. Alterations in the expression pattern of the E-cadherin molecule, including focal loss at cell-cell contacts and heterogeneous distribution in the differentiated layers, were found in about 79% of the p53 null papillomas. In contrast, all of the wild-type and over 85% of the heterolygous p53 papillomas exhibited an expression pattern of E-cadherin indistinguishable from that of normal epidermis. Alterations in P-cadherin expression were also detected in the p53 null papillomas: aberrant suprabasal localization and heterogeneous distribution were observed more frequently than in heterozygous and wild-type p53 papillomas. The α6β4 integrin showed suprabasal expression in more than 70% of the papillomas derived from either wild-type, heterozygous or homozygous p53 null mice. Surprisingly, the extent of the suprabasal localization of α6β4 decreased in the p53 null papillomas. Aberrant keratin K13 expression was also detected in the majority of cases of all p53 genotypes, but again there was a clear decrease in expression levels in the p53 null papillomas. These alterations were also associated with keratinocytic atypia, which increased significantly in the p53 null papillomas. Changes in these parameters were particularly evident during malignant conversion in invasive regions of one progressing p53 null papilloma. Our results indicate the existence of dynamic changes in the expression pattern of the 3 cell adhesion molecules analyzed and identify down-regulation of E-cadherin as an early step in malignant conversion.
