Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC), and ameloblastoma (AB) aggressive epithelial odontogenic tumors with a high recurrence rate though, their aggressive nature are not totally understood, Many epithelial tumors are characterized by stromal reaction, Myofibroblast is one of stromal component that could contribute to the biologic behavior of these lesions, Fifteen cases of AB and OKC were operated on under general anesthesia, all cases were subjected to immunohistochemical staining with alpha-smooth muscle actin and flow cytometry analysis, ameloblastoma showed expression of α muscle actin between the follicles as well as around the blood vessels, while in OKC the expression was mostly in connective tissue wall of cyst lining, as well as flow cytometry analysis showed tumors were diploid and showed a percentage of cells in S -phase higher than 26%. OKC had a higher value than AB but the values were close and statistically insignificant, we concluded that the immunohistochemical expression of MF in AB & OKC has insignificant difference may contribute to the similar proliferative potential of both AB& OKC, as well The high proliferation rate of OKC reinforces its classification as a benign odontogenic neoplasm rather than a cyst Objective To detect the proliferative potential of odontogenic keratocyst, versus ameloblastoma and their correlation to presence of stromal myofibroblasts (258) Hanan Eid, et al. E.D.J. Vol. 64, No. 1 cavity. Clinically, Ab arises as a painless swelling with an expansion of the jaw bones. It could be classified into 3 main types: solid or multicystic ameloblastoma, uni-cystic ameloblastoma, and peripheral ameloblastoma. The solid type is the most common type, which has various histopathological patterns as follicular, plexiform, basal cell, granular, acanthomatous and desmoplastic patterns. (2) Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a benign cystic lesion that arises from rests of dental lamina. It is a locally destructive lesion that grows within the medullary spaces of the bone in an anteroposterior direction without causing a notable bony expansion. Due to its aggressive behavior, it was grouped among the benign epithelial odontogenic tumor in 2005. (3) Locally aggressive lesions that have high recurrance rate after conventional surgical enucleation, it is well known this is due to the absence of capsule in AB & highly friable cyst wall with satellite cysts within okc capsule, the highly aggressive potential of both lesions was attributed to many biological, molecular & genetic factors in many studies however few studies were done on the correlation between presence of the stromal myofibrblast in both lesions with their invasive potential. (4) Myofibroblasts found in the connective tissue stroma and characterized by the presence of a contractile apparatus. They are found in normal tissues such as blood vessels, lymph nodes and bone marrow as well as in various invasive and metastatic malignant tumors. (5). Many epithelial tumors are characterized by the local accumulation of connective tissue cells and extracellular material; this phenomenon has been called the stromal reaction. One of the cellular components of the stroma reaction is the myofibroblast, a modulated fibroblast that has acquired the capacity to neoexpress alphasmooth muscle actin (actin isoform of vascular smooth muscle cells), and to synthesize important amounts of collagen and other extracellular matrix components. It is now well accepted that the myofibroblast is a key cell for the connective tissue remodeling, which takes place during wound healing and fibrosis development. Myofibroblasts are capable of remodeling connective tissue but also interact with epithelial cells and other connective tissue cells and may thus control such phenomena as tumor invasion and angiogenesis. Few studies have investigated the role of non-epithelial factors such as myofibroblasts (MFs) that could contribute to the biologic behavior of the lesions. So, this study was used to investigate the presence of myofibroblasts in OKC and ameloblastoma and to compare between the presence of stromal myofibroblasts and the biologic aggressiveness of the lesions. (6) A debate regarding the management of these pathologic entities is present in the literature particularly with the presence of several histologic subdivisions and subsequently the pathologic and clinical behavior for each. Treatment options discussed in the literature range from simple procedures like marsupialization or enucleation with curettage to radical resection with discontinuity defects. Radiotherapy was also a choice. Choosing a treatment modality is guided by factors like tumor potential, behavior, physical form plus histologic and growth characteristics, location in the maxillofacial skeleton, tumor size, primary or recurrent growth. More over the patient age and medical condition. (7) Our aim is to correlate between the presence of stromal myofibroblasts in relation to the proliferative potential of odontogenic keratocyst, and ameloblastoma MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was conducted on patients who have been treated for AB and OKC in the department of Oral & Maxillofacial surgery – Faculty of Dentistry/ South Valley University from Jan 2014 to June 2017. CORRELATION BETWEEN THE PRESENCE OF STROMAL MYOFIBROBLASTS (259) Fifteen cases were operated on under GA. Patients were scrubbed, painted and draped according to the standard surgical protocol. 2% lignocaine with epinephrine was given at the surgical site. Access for tumors of the anterior segment of the maxilla or the mandible was done via intraoral transmucosal approach. For tumors of the posterior maxilla, a WeberFerguson flap was used along with vestibular incision. While for those involving the mandibular body, angle and/or the ramus a combined approach using a standard submandibular and intraoral transmucosal incisions. A resection margin of uninvolved bone of 1.5-2 cm in solid and multicystic lesions and 0.5-1 cm for unicystic and peripherl lesions was a standard. The resection margin always lies beyond the tumor invaded tissue plane to assure having a tumor free margin. (Fig.1) Immunohistochemical study of surgically treated cases of OKC and ameloblastoma, fifteen cases each was selected to make the study. Five-micrometer thick sections were histologically prepared and stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain to confirm the diagnosis under light microscopy. Three-micrometer thick sections were then obtained from each case for immunohistochemical staining with alpha-smooth muscle actin. The slides were deparaffinized by passing them through two changes of xylene for 5 min each. They were hydrated in two changes of 100% ethanol for 1 min each. The slides were then transferred to citrate buffer and autoclaved for antigen retrieval at 15 lbs pressure for 15 min. After cooling, they were washed in phosphate buffer solution. The slides were then treated with protein block reagent for 10 min. Immunohistochemical staining was then performed using αsmooth muscle actin as the manufacturer’s instructions. The slides were then mounted in dpx and observed under light microscope for the results. Flow cytometric analysis All steps took place in vacsera (egyptian company for vaccines, sera, and drugs). Sample preparation: paraffin-embedded specimens were processed for DNA flow cytometric analysis by a technique modified from that of Hedley and co-workers. Sections (thickness, 40 pm) were deparaffinized in xylene, rehydrated, and subjected to trypsin digestion. After overnight’s incubation the nuclear suspension was stained with ethidium bromide (50 pg/ml), digested with RNAase, and analyzed with an EPICS C flow cytometer (Coulter Electronics, Hialeah, FL) using 488 nm argon laser excitation. The criterion for DNA aneuploidy was the presence of two distinct GO/Gl peaks. Mean coefficient of variation of the diploid peak was 5.5 (range, 3.2-7.0) which usually allowed detection of DNA peaks with a DNA index greater than Multicystic Ameloblastoma in the left side of the mandible Resected part of the mandible with a safety margin Postoperative Panoramic radiograph showing resected and reconstructed area. (260) Hanan Eid, et al. E.D.J. Vol. 64, No. 1 1.10. Cell cycle analysis was done according to the Baisch rectangular histogram as described previously.‘o S-phase was analyzed in such cases where the evaluation was thought to be reliable (89 of 102 tumors). Flow cytometric data analysis was performed by the Coulter Statpak software program (Coulter Electronics, Hialeah, FL). Analysis of DNA in paraffin-embedded samples was done by isolating cell nuclei from paraffinembedded tissues and used it to retrieve, for flow cytometric analysis. This methodology is useful for studying tumor progression and for assessment of the prognostic significance of DNA ploidy and cell cycle distribution (mainly s-phase cells) (Hedley 1989). All the results were tabulated and statistically analyzed using computer software named the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 16). Data in the present study were presented as mean and standard deviation (SD). The comparisons between the study groups were determined by using an independent-samples t test and paired ttest. The level of significance was established at the value of P< 0.05.
