immunohistochemical analysis of cox-2 expression in dentigerous cyst, keratocystic odontogenic tumor and ameloblastoma: a comparative study
نویسندگان
چکیده
background: cyclo-oxygenase-2 (cox-2) is an early response gene that is induced by growth factors, oncogenes and carcinogens and its expression is increased in various tumors. increased expression of cox-2 plays a signifi cant role in the development and growth of tumors by interfering in biological processes such as cell division, cellular immunity, cell adhesion, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. this study aimed to investigate the immunohistochemical expression of cox-2 in keratocystic odontogenic tumor (kot) in comparison with ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst with regards to different clinical behavior and histopathological features of these lesions. materials and methods: paraffi ned blocks of 45 cases including 15 cases of dentigerous cyst, 15 cases of kot and 15 cases of ameloblastoma were stained with immunohistochemical method for cox-2. five high-power fi elds of each sample were evaluated to determine the percentage of stained cells and the intensity of staining. degree of immunoreactivity was obtained from the sum of two. statistical evaluation was performed by the kruskal-wallis and anova mann-whitney test (p < 0.05). results: overexpression of cox-2 in ameloblastoma and kot was observed compared with dentigerous cyst (p < 0.001). however, no signifi cant difference was observed between the expression of cox-2 in ameloblastoma and kot (p = 0.148). conclusion: the cox-2 expression in odontogenic tumors such as ameloblastoma and cystic neoplasm with aggressive behavior such as kot increases. however, it does not seem that cox-2 affects the development and growth of cysts with noninvasive behavior like dentigerous cyst. key words: ameloblastoma, cyclo-oxygenase-2, dentigerous cyst, immunohistochemistry, keratocystic odontogenic tumor

متن کاملCD166 expression in dentigerous cyst, keratocystic odontogenic tumor and ameloblastoma
BACKGROUND CD166 is a glycoprotein of an immunoglobulin super family of adhesion molecules that has been associated with aggressive characteristics and high recurrence rate of tumors. Different odontogenic lesions exhibit considerable histological variation and different clinical behavior. In an attempt to clarify the mechanisms underlying this different behavior, the present study investigates...
متن کاملComparison of -catenin Expression in Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor, Dentigerous Cyst and Ameloblastoma
Odontogenic keratocyst is now designated by the World Health Organization as a keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT). According to recent reports Wnt pathway and ß-catenin are involved in the pathogenesis of the majority of odontogenic and neoplastic lesions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the expression of ß-catenin in KCOT and compare it with those of dentigerous cyst and ameloblastoma...

OBJECTIVES Since its recognition as a physiologic process associated with tumor, among molecular mechanisms involved in tumor progression, defects in regulation of apoptosis have generated an accelerating volume of research that has sought to elucidate the role of programed cell death in pathogenesis and treatment of various tumors. Therefore, this study was performed to understand better the d...
متن کاملA comparative study of PCNA and Ki-67 expression in dental follicle, dentigerous cyst, unicystic ameloblastoma and ameloblastoma
Various cell proliferation markers are used as diagnostic and prognostic tools in oral lesions. Simultaneous evaluation of these markers can increase the precision of estimation of the proliferative status of different tissues. In this study we investigated the expression of PCNA and Ki-67 as markers of cell proliferation in 15 paraffin embedded samples of each dental follicle, dentigerous cy...
متن کامل“An Immunohistochemical Study” of Parathyroid Hormone - Related Protein: A Comparative Analysis In Ameloblastoma and Dentigerous Cyst
It has been pointed out that Parathyroid Hormone related Protein (PTHrP) secreted by the developing enamel epithelium targets receptors in overlying bone, thereby activating bone resorption and allowing tooth eruption. Accordingly, it is conceivable that ameloblastoma, which to a degree recapitulates certain characteristics of enamel epithelium, would also express PTHrP. This study is done to a...
