Introduction: Hypoxia is a common feature in solid tumors, such as head and neck cancers, and in these conditions a signaling pathway involving a response regulator oxygen, called hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) we have highlighted in an attempt to provide a better understanding of tumor biology of cancer. Objective: To investigate the role of HIF-1 in oral squamous cell carcinoma and premalignant lesions presenting oral epithelial dysplasia. Methods: Observational, analytical and cross through the diagnosis and immuno-molecular analysis of malignant and premalignant lesions. 10 biopsied cases with histopathological diagnosis of the CEO and DEO 10 cases were included. It was used the technique of immunohistochemistry Estreptoavitina-Biotin with HIF-1 antibody (Abcam mark, 1:200 dilution, 60 min pH6 citrate antigen retrieval Pascal) analysis of 05 fields each case at 400X magnification. The number of cells in each of five fields was added and the sample was considered as a unit the percentage of positive cells immuno-HIF-1α nuclear and cytoplasmic as well as intensity thereof. The results were obtained and compared between groups by the Student and multifactor ANOVA followed by Bonferroni post-test t test, based on the significance levels of 5%. Results: Cytoplasmic expression of HIF-1α was observed in 58.4 ± 6.0% of the epithelial cells of the DEO and 77.8 ± 3.9% of the cells of the CEO, with a significant difference (p = 0.022). The percentage of cells positive for HIF-1α nuclear staining also showed significant difference (p = 0.021) between DEO (0.2 ± 0.1%) and CEO (2.4 ± 0.8). There was no significant difference between the percentage of cells with weak positive immunostaining in the cytoplasm between DEO and CEO (p = 0.337), however, a significant increase in the percentage of cells with moderate cytoplasm staining (p = 0.029) and strong (p = 0.031) between DEO and CEO. Conclusion: One increasing the expression, nuclear and cytoplasmic HIF-1α DEO to CEO was observed, suggesting their involvement in the early stages of oral carcinogenesis. Clinical Relevance: Seek understanding of the complex signaling pathways, as well as the tumor microenvironment, and different biological behaviors in oral cancer.
