摘要：Involution displayed by keratoacanthoma (KA) represents an important difference between KA and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It has been suggested that apoptosis plays a part in process of involution of KA. Altogether 150 specimens were included in this study, 30 cases of each; normal skin (NS), proliferative (pKA) and regressing keratoacanthoma (rKA), well differentiated (wdSCC) and poorly differentiated (pdSCC) squamous cell carcinoma. All samples were examined immunohistochemicaly for expression of M30 protein. A significantly lower number of M30 positive cells has been detected in NS as compared to skin tumors examined (p of M30 positive cells was detected in pdSCC (p normal and changed epidermis expressing higher levels of M30 protein were predominately found in sun-exposed areas (c 2=14.93; p=0.060). There was an increasing trend of M30 protein expression with increasing age of the patient in NS and skin tumors examined. Majority of skin tumors with higher percentage of M30 positive cells tended to display higher Ki-67 expression. M30 expression was highly correlated with bak (r=0.811; p=0.048) and granzyme B expression in rKA (r=0.733; p=0.015). Cell apoptosis as assessed by M30 expression is, generally, increased in examined skin tumors and related to cell proliferation. Cell apoptosis mediated by bak and granzyme B expression could contribute to KA regression.
