چکیده

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the caveolin-1 expression in a group of odontogenic cysts and tumors. MATERIAL AND METHOD In this cross-sectional study, the expression of caveolin-1 was evaluated immunohistochemically in 75 samples including 18 cases of dentigerous cyst, 18 odontogenic keratocysts, 3 orthokeratinized odontogenic cysts, 2 calcifying odontogenic cysts and 34 ameloblastomas (solid and unicystic). RESULTS Positive immunohistochemical reaction was found in 100% of odontogenic cysts and this was significantly more than both unicystic (65%) and solid (55%) ameloblastomas. CONCLUSION The present study showed the expression of caveolin-1 in all odontogenic cysts and more than ameloblastomas. The results suggested that absence of caveolin-1 might enhance aggressiveness of odontogenic lesions and could be a useful marker for distinguishing ameloblastomas from other odontogenic lesions.

Angiogenesis: A Critical Role in Locally Aggressive Behavior of Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor

Introduction: Odontogenic cysts are osteodestructive lesions affecting the jaws. Odontogenic keratocyst is an odontogenic cyst with highly aggressive features. Multicystic ameloblastoma is a benign epithelial odontogenic tumor with more aggressive behavior than dentigerous cyst and odontogenic keratocyst. Invasion and metastasis of tumors require increased blood vessels during tumorigenesis. Th...

Caveolin-1 Expression in Odontogenic Cysts and Ameloblastomas Ameloblastom ve Odontojenik Kistlerde Caveolin-1 Ekspresyonu

Odontogenic cysts and tumors originate from remnants of odontogenic epithelium and have a wide spectrum of histopathologic and clinical characteristics, ranging from benign non-invasive to locally invasive or malignant lesions. Histopathologic similarities between these lesions may challenge the correct diagnosis, especially in small size specimens, and may also lead to unnecessary broad surger...

The role of RANK/RANKL/OPG signalling pathways in osteoclastogenesis in odontogenic keratocysts, radicular cysts, and ameloblastomas.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of molecules involved in osteoclastogenesis, including the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK), RANK ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs), which has been named as a keratocystic odontogenic tumour by the WHO, and compare their expression with radicular cysts and amelobl...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are involved in local invasion of ameloblastomas. This study was to evaluate the role of matrix metalloproteinase inducer (EMMPRIN) in angiogenesis in ameloblastomas by analyzing EMMPRIN expression and microvessel density (MVD) in ameloblastomas and odontogenic cysts. METHODS EMMPRIN expression and MVD in 41 specimens of ameloblastoma an...
