口腔粘膜下線維症(OSF)は、主に頬粘膜に発症し、口の開きが制限される慢性の潜行性疾患です1。OSFは多因子性疾患ですが、ビンロウの実やビンロウの咀嚼がOSF 2,3の主な原因です。この地理的に特異的な習性のため、OSFは主に東南アジアと南アジアの集団に集中しています3。OSFの一般的な組織学的特徴には、口腔粘膜上皮下の結合組織における異常なコラーゲン沈着、血管狭窄、および閉塞が含まれます1。OSF上皮組織は、口腔白板症を併発すると、萎縮または過形成、さらには異形成の症状を呈することがあります4,5。
OSFは、世界保健機関によって、悪性形質転換率が4%〜6%の口腔扁平上皮癌に進行する可能性のある一般的な口腔悪性疾患(OPMD)として定義されています6,7,8,9。OSFの悪性形質転換の根底にあるメカニズムは複雑である10。異形成と萎縮の両方を含む上皮の異常な増殖は発がんの可能性を高め、間質の老化線維芽細胞は、活性酸素種(ROS)やその他の分子を介して上皮間葉転換(EMT)を誘導することにより、OSFの悪性進行に関与している可能性があります10。
空間オミクス解析技術は、形態学的および空間的情報を含むマルチオミクスデータを生成し、がんのメカニズムに関する洞察を提供しました11,12,13。ここでは、レーザーマイクロダイセクションによってホルマリン固定パラフィン包埋OSF組織から形態関連細胞集団を捕捉するプロトコルを提示します。これらのサンプルのマルチオミクス解析は、組織内の不均一性に関する課題を克服し、OSF14における分子病理学と悪性形質転換のメカニズムの理解を深めることができます。

isolation of cells with morphological and spatial information from oral submucous fibrosis samples by laser capture microdissection

口腔粘膜下線維症(OSF)は、口腔内の悪性の可能性のある疾患の一般的なタイプです。上皮の萎縮および固有層および粘膜下層の線維症は、病理組織学的スライドにしばしば見られる。上皮異形成、上皮萎縮、および老化線維芽細胞は、OSFの悪性形質転換に関連していることが提案されています。しかし、潜在的に悪性の口腔疾患と口腔扁平上皮癌の不均一性のため、OSFにおける悪性形質転換の特定の分子機構を特定することは困難です。本研究では、ホルマリン固定パラフィン包埋組織スライド上にレーザー捕捉マイクロダイセクションにより、形態学的データや空間情報を有する少数の上皮細胞または間葉系細胞を得る方法を紹介します。顕微鏡を用いることで、マイクロスケール(~500細胞)の異形成性または萎縮性上皮組織や線維性上皮下組織を正確に捕捉することができます。抽出された細胞は、ゲノムまたはトランスクリプトームシーケンシングによって評価され、形態学的および空間的情報を含むゲノムおよびトランスクリプトームデータを取得できます。このアプローチにより、バルクOSF組織シーケンシングの不均一性や、非病変領域の細胞によって引き起こされる干渉が除去され、OSF組織の正確な空間オミクス解析が可能になります。

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic, insidious disease that develops mainly in the buccal mucosa and results in restricted mouth opening1. While OSF is a multifactorial disease, areca nut or betel nut chewing is the main cause of OSF2,3. Because of this geographically specific habit, OSF is predominantly concentrated in populations in Southeast and South Asia3. The common histological features of OSF include abnormal collagen deposition in the connective tissue beneath the oral mucosal epithelium, vascular stenosis, and occlusion1. OSF epithelial tissue can present with manifestations of atrophy or hyperplasia and even dysplasia when concomitant with oral leukoplakia4,5.
OSF is defined by the World Health Organization as a common oral potentially malignant disorder (OPMD) that exhibits the potential to progress to oral squamous cell carcinoma with a malignant transformation rate of 4%-6%6,7,8,9. The mechanism underlying the malignant transformation of OSF is complex10. Abnormal growth of the epithelium, including both dysplasia and atrophy, increases the potential for carcinogenesis, and senescent fibroblasts in the stroma may be involved in the malignant progression of OSF by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other molecules10.
Technologies for spatial-omic analyses generated multi-omic data with morphological and spatial information that have provided insights into cancer mechanisms11,12,13. Here, we present a protocol to capture morphology-related cell populations from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded OSF tissue by laser microdissection. Multi-omic analyses of these samples can overcome challenges with intratissue heterogeneity and increase understanding of the molecular pathology and mechanisms of malignant transformation in OSF14.

Our main research interests are the mechanisms of malignant transformation under the development of predictive models of oral, potentially malignant disorders such as oral leukoplakia and oral submucous fibrosis. Genomic transcriptomic, proteomic, and other multi-omic sequencing analysis under deep learning artificial intelligence models are used to study the progression from oral, potentially malignant disorders to oral cancer. Current sequencing and multi-omics analysis are mostly based on frozen samples, but oral, potentially malignant disorders are mostly formally fixed paraffin embedded tissue, often by biopsy, and they the need to develop experimental techniques based on paraffin samples.Paraffin tissue samples from oral, potentially malignant disorders, and the squamous cell carcinoma are available in large numbers and from a variety of sources, making them a very valuable resource for study. All protocol can help fully use these resources to better understand the mechanisms of disease development and malignant transformation.

Isolation of Cells with Morphological and Spatial Information from Oral Submucous Fibrosis Samples by Laser Capture Microdissection

Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a common type of potentially malignant disorder in the oral cavity. The atrophy of epithelium and fibrosis of the lamina propria and the submucosa are often found on histopathological slides. Epithelial dysplasia, epithelial atrophy, and senescent fibroblasts have been proposed to be associated with the malignant transformation of OSF. However, because of the heterogeneity of potentially malignant oral disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma, it is difficult to identify the specific molecular mechanisms of malignant transformation in OSF. Here, we present a method to obtain a small number of epithelial or mesenchymal cells carrying morphological data and spatial information by laser capture microdissection on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue slides. Using a microscope, we can precisely capture microscale (~500 cells) dysplastic or atrophic epithelial tissue and fibrotic subepithelial tissue. The extracted cells can be evaluated by genome or transcriptome sequencing to acquire genomic and transcriptomic data with morphological and spatial information. This approach removes the heterogeneity of bulk OSF tissue sequencing and the interference caused by cells in non-lesioned areas, allowing for precise spatial-omics analysis of OSF tissue.

Laser capture microdissection of oral submucous fibrosis tissues allows for precise extraction of cells from histological regions of interest for the analysis of multi-omics data with morphological and spatial information.

Oral Submucous Fibrosis Tissue Sample Preparation for Hematoxylin-Eosin Staining

To begin, using a microtome, cut the formalin fixed paraffin embedded oral submucous fibrosis tissues into continuous sections of three in 10 micrometers thickness, then unfold the sections in water. Place three micron sections on the adhesion microscope slide or slide A, and 10 microns on pen membrane slide or slide B.Place both slides on a hot plate at 60 degrees Celsius. After two hours, place slides A and B in xylene for 10 minutes, then hydrate the slides in graded ethanol concentrations for one minute in each concentration.Next, place the slides in ultrapure distilled water for 30 seconds. Soak slides in Harris hematoxylin dye solution for 90 seconds. Again wash the slides thrice in ultrapure distilled water for 30 seconds each.After that, submerge the slides in div-hematoxylin solution for two seconds. Return slides into ultrapure distilled water for 30 seconds, repeating three times. Next, immerse slides A and B in 1%re-blue solution for two seconds.After washing the slides with distilled water, place them in an eosin solution for two seconds. Again immerse slides in ultrapure distilled water for 30 seconds before dehydrating and increasing ethanol concentrations, then immerse slide A in xylene for three minutes. Finally, apply a drop of the mounting medium to slide A, and cover it with a glass cover.

Laser Capture Microdissection of Oral Submucous Fibrosis Tissues for Morphology and Spatial Information Analysis

To begin, turn on the Laser Microdissection system and software. Place slide A containing stained three-micron sections of oral submucous fibrosis tissues on the slide stage. Observe the histological morphology to identify the area of interest for laser microdissection.Remove slide A and place slide B with the tissue side facing down on the slide stage. Next, click the Unload button to push out the collection device. Insert a PCR tube into the collection device and ensure the tube is fixed.Then click the Okay button. Select a cap by clicking the corresponding red circle, marking the collector device to tube caps, and wait until the selected circle turns green. Then click the Draw button and Draw plus Cut button and use the mouse to sketch the area of interest.Click on Start Cut to capture the area of interest, which will be collected by the cap. Then press the lower button to ensure the captured sample is collected. Click the specimen button to capture the next sample.Finally, click Unload to unload the PCR tube with the captured sample. In this study, using laser microdissection of oral submucous fibrosis, tissues of epithelium and stroma with different patterns are captured. Copy number alternations were present in epithelial samples but not in stroma samples.The copy number alternations pattern in the dysplastic epithelium was observed in chromosomes three and eight, while copy number alternations were detected at a lower frequency in chromosome eight in the atrophic epithelium.
