(Summary) Angiogenesis plays an important role in cancer growth and metastasis, and it is considered a therapeutic target to control tumour growth following anti-angiogenic therapy. However, it is still unclear when tissues initiate angiogenesis during malignant transformation from premalignant condition and whether this premalignant condition could be a therapeutic target of anti-angiogenic therapy. In this study, we aimed to analyse the onset of angiogenesis by evaluating morphological and functional alterations of microvessels during oral multistep carcinogenesis using a 4-nitroquinoline 1-oxide (4NQO)-induced oral carcinogenesis mouse model. In the study, we initially confirmed that with the use of 4NQO, oral lesions develop in a stepwise manner from normal mucosa through oral epithelial dysplasia (OED) to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). Evaluation of CD31-immunostained specimens revealed that microvessel density (MVD) increases in a stepwise manner from OEDs. Histological and functional analyses revealed the structural abnormalities and leakage of blood vessels had already taken place in OED. Then we evaluated the expression profiles of Hif1a and Vegfa along with hypoxic status and found that OED exhibited increased Vegfa expression under hypoxic conditions. Finally, we tested the possibility of OEDs as a target of anti-angiogenic therapy and found that anti-VEGFR2 neutralising antibody in OED slowed the disease progression from OED to OSCC. These data indicate that an angiogenic switch occurs at the premalignant stage and morphological, and functional alterations of microvessels already exist in OED. These findings also elucidate the tumour microenvironment, which gradually develops along with carcinogenic processes, and highlight usefulness of the 4NQO-induced carcinogenesis model in the study of epithelial and stromal components, which will support epithelial carcinogenesis. © 2024 The Author(s).

(Summary) FAM20C phosphorylates secretory proteins at S-x-E/pS motifs, and previous studies of Fam20C-dificient mice revealed that FAM20C played essential roles in bone and tooth formation. Inactivation of FAM20C in mice led to hypophosphatemia that masks direct effect of FAM20C in these tissues, and consequently the direct role of FAM20C remains unknown. Our previous study reported that osteoblast/odontoblast-specific Fam20C transgenic (Fam20C-Tg) mice had normal serum phosphate levels and that osteoblastic FAM20C-mediated phosphorylation regulated bone formation and resorption. Here, we investigated the direct role of FAM20C in dentin using Fam20C-Tg mice. The tooth of Fam20C-Tg mice contained numerous highly phosphorylated proteins, including SIBLINGs, compared to that of wild-type mice. In Fam20C-Tg mice, coronal dentin volume decreased and mineral density unchanged at early age, while the volume unchanged and the mineral density elevated at maturity. In these mice, radicular dentin volume and mineral density decreased at all ages, and histologically, the radicular dentin had wider predentin and abnormal apical-side dentin with embedded cells and argyrophilic canaliculi. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that abnormal apical-side dentin had bone and dentin matrix properties accompanied with osteoblast-lineage cells. Further, in Fam20C-Tg mice, DSPP content which is important for dentin formation, was reduced in dentin, especially radicular dentin, which might lead to defects mainly in radicular dentin. Renal subcapsular transplantations of tooth germ revealed that newly formed radicular dentin replicated apical abnormal dentin of Fam20C-Tg mice, corroborating that FAM20C overexpression indeed caused the abnormal dentin. Our findings indicate that odontoblastic FAM20C-mediated phosphorylation in the tooth regulates dentin formation and odontoblast differentiation.

(Summary) Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) is a rare soft tissue sarcoma characterized by an alveolar or organoid arrangement of polygonal tumour cells separated by fibrovascular septa. A specific fusion gene [ASPS critical region 1 (ASPSCR1)-TFE3] was detected in ASPS. Despite being a slow-growing tumour without pain and dysfunction, ASPS is characterized by early metastasis, which leads to poor prognosis. Herein, we report a rare case of primary ASPS of the cheek harbouring ASPSCR1 (exon 7)-TFE3 (exon 5) fusion gene in a 21 year-old woman. This tumour was a well-circumscribed, smooth, round mass that was clinically suspected as a benign tumour. However, histologically, it was observed that the polygonal tumour cells were arranged in solid and alveolar growth patterns. Post-operative examination of the whole body excluded the possibility of metastasis at other sites. Thus, careful immunohistochemical and genetic analyses, as well as whole-body examination, demonstrated that the tumour was a primary ASPS of the cheek.
