Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cell proliferation and p53 protein expression in ameloblastomas (ABs), keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT) and dentigerous cyst (DC). METHOD: The immunohistochemistry were carried out for Ki-67 and p53 protein expression by using MIB-1 clone and DO-7 clone, respectively, in ABs (n = 23), KCOT (n = 32), DC (n = 30), normal oral mucosa (NOM) (n = 12) and fetal oral mucosa (FOM) (n = 10). RESULTS: Both the Ki-67 LI Labeling index (LI) and p53 LI was significantly higher in ABs than KCOT, DC, NOM and FOM. The Ki-67 LI and p53 LI was significantly higher in KCOT as compared to DC. Ki-67 LI and p53 LI was observed in descending order in ABs, KOCT, FOM, NOM and DC. There was significant correlation between Ki-67 expression and p53 expression in ABs, KCOT, DC and NOM. The densely stained p53 positive cells were noted higher in ABs than KCOT. The very few densely p53 positive cells were noted in DC, NOM and FOM. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that the p53 protein expression does not necessarily imply an association with malignant disease and/or p53 gene mutation, but a tendency to be expressed in an increasing quantitative and qualitative manner, as the biologic behavior of odontogenic cyst or tumors becomes more aggressive. p53 over-expression may promote cell proliferation in odontogenic lesions. Thus, it can be stipulated that Ki-67 and p53 protein expression can be used as a prognostic marker in odontogenic lesions.
