RESUMO

Two hundred and forty five neoplasms of the perianal glands of dogs from the archives of the Department of Pathology of the FMVZ/USP, 1984 to 2004, have been reviewed hystologically. Most of the cases (34%) were classified as moderately differentiated adenomas, group II, in males over 8 years of age, which showed an androgenic dependence of these neoplasms. The quantitative analysis of the cellular proliferation and apoptosis, in the different hystologic types of neoplasia, hyperplasia and normal tissue of these glands, determined a parallel pattern of increase in both quantifications. The values of the net growth index showed that although carcinomas have a much higher level of proliferation than adenomas (group I), these latter have a much higher potential of growth, taking into account the effect of the apoptosis. The occurrence of Cx 43, 26 and 32 in these perianal glands was also investigated by immunohystochemical methods. Cx 43 expression was present in normal, hyperplasic, adenomas (group I) and moderately differentiated adenomas perianal glands. In poorly differentiated adenomas (group II), the expression was reduced and was absent in carcinomas. Cx 26 was accumulated in the cytoplasm in normal, hyperplasic, adenomas (group I) and moderately differentiated adenomas glands. In poorly differentiated adenomas (group II), the expression was reduced and was absent in carcinomas. Cx 32 was not found in all groups (I, II, III), normal and hyperplasic glands. In conclusion, Cx 43 and Cx 26 are important for homeostasis of normal canine perianal glands, being able to be associated with the androgen receptors present in their cells. This was the first study showing the apoptosis and its influence on the promotional phase of carcinogenesis and, also, the first study showing the occurrence of Cx 43, cytoplasmatic Cx 26 and no expression of Cx 32 in normal, hyperplasic and neoplastic canine perianal glands
