Cancer is still a big target of scientific studies and research, to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Oral squamous cell carcinoma (CEO) is the most prevalent form of cancer in the mouth, and despite the great advances and discoveries, the prognosis of this cancer is still poor, mainly discovered in advanced stages. Oral carcinogenesis is a complex and multiple genes can be altered in this process. Several proteins are altered in these tumors, highlighting more recently, proteins of cellular metabolism, especially glucose transporters (GLUT). The objective of this research was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of GLUT-1 in comparison with CEO inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (HFI), a non-neoplastic proliferative lesion. The sample consisted of 30 cases of oral lesions, 15 cases of HFI CEO and 15. We used immunohistochemical technique Estreptoavitina-Biotin with GLUT-1 antibody (Genetex, dilution 1:300, 60 minutes, antigen retrieval with citrate pH 6), analyzing 05 fields in each case 100X, telling the percentage of positive cells. As a result it was found that the mean percentage of epithelial cells positive for GLUT-1 in inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia group was 85.6 Â 0.9% (median = 85.6% = 81.0% minimum, maximum = 90.1%). The mean percentage of epithelial cells positive for GLUT-1 in the group of squamous cell carcinoma was 89.6 Â 2.7% (median = 92.2% = 72.2% minimum, maximum = 98.0%). Could observe a statistically significant difference between the two study groups (p = 0.033, Mann-Whitney test). The percentage of immune cells marked as to the location where the CEO shows a higher percentage of 93.4% in the alveolar ridge compared to the tongue (64.7%). Based on the results of this research, it was observed that there is an increased expression of GLUT-1 in lesions in carcinomas than in hyperplastic, and this may probably reflect the involvement of GLUT in some oncogenic mechanism. However, more studies are needed to further elucidate the involvement of this protein in oral carcinogenesis.
