March 1994 in “PubMed” The study investigated the expression patterns of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and keratins in early papillomas in SENCAR mice to identify markers for early skin tumorigenesis. Tumors were induced using 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene and promoted with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate. In early papillomas, keratin K1 showed patchy staining, while K10 was minimally expressed, contrasting with their normal expression in mildly hyperplastic epidermis. ODC expression was intense and diffuse in suprabasal cells of papillomas, correlating with decreased K1 and K10 expression, indicating altered differentiation. These findings suggested that high ODC expression and reduced K1 and K10 could serve as markers for early tumorigenesis in mouse skin.
