[PMID: 38473967 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25052721] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2024] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/20/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Periodontitis is a complex condition. Left untreated, it leads to tooth loss and the need for prosthetic treatment. The incidence of periodontitis is steadily increasing, so new methods are being sought to aid in the diagnosis of the disease. Among the methods postulated is the determination of concentrations of bioactive compounds which include extracellular matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). These enzymes are present in various structural elements of the stomatognathic system. The most promising enzyme of this group appears to be metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8). MMP-8 assays are performed in gingival fluid or saliva, and MMP-8 levels have been shown to be higher in patients with periodontitis compared to healthy subjects and correlated with some clinical parameters of the condition and the severity of the disease. In addition, the preliminary usefulness of this enzyme in evaluating the effectiveness of periodontal treatment and doxycycline therapy has been demonstrated. Determination of the active form of MMP-8 (aMMP-8) in oral rinse fluid using off-the-shelf assays shows the highest potential. Despite reports about aMMP-8 and promising data on the role of MMP-8 in periodontal diagnosis, a clear determination of the usefulness of this enzyme requires further research.

Abstract
Bone tissue is a dynamic structure that is involved in maintaining the homeostasis of the body due to its multidirectional functions, such as its protective, endocrine, or immunological role. Specialized cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM) are responsible for the remodeling of specific bone structures, which alters the biomechanical properties of the tissue. Imbalances in bone-forming elements lead to the formation and progression of bone diseases. The most important family of enzymes responsible for bone ECM remodeling are matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-enzymes physiologically present in the body's tissues and cells. The activity of MMPs is maintained in a state of balance; disruption of their activity is associated with the progression of many groups of diseases, including those of the skeletal system. This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of MMPs in bone physiology and the pathophysiology of bone tissue and describes their role in specific skeletal disorders. Additionally, this work collects data on the potential of MMPs as bio-markers for specific skeletal diseases.

Abstract
Objectives This study aims to determine the histopathological patterns and biological characteristics of ameloblastoma. Methods This was a cross-sectional retrospective laboratory-based study using 82 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue blocks from patients diagnosed histologically with ameloblastoma. Information regarding age, sex, anatomical location of the lesion, histopathologic type, and biological behaviour or characteristics of the types of ameloblastoma was obtained from laboratory request forms. Categorical and continuous variables were summarized in percentage and mean ± standard deviation, respectively. The cohort was conducted on Ugandan patients diagnosed between 2016 and 2019. Results Most patients (66.3%) were clinically presenting a painless jaw swelling, and a follicular pattern was common (39%) followed by the plexiform pattern (12.2%). All the ameloblastoma cases (100%) were benign, with the majority (76.8%) cases being non-recurrent while the remaining (23.2%) were recurrent, and the plexiform pattern was the commonest recurrent histopathological pattern. Conclusion This study reports a relatively significant rate of recurrence in almost a quarter of the study population. The plexiform histopathologic type was the dominant type in recurrence cases. Therefore, this finding provides insightful information to clinicians to ensure close follow-up for patients diagnosed with such a variant to prevent possible relapse of the disease.

Abstract
Ameloblastoma is benign odontogenic tumours that mainly occur in the jawbone. This tumour induces aggressive invasion into the surrounding bone and has a high recurrence rate after surgery. Therefore, mandibular resection is performed in many patients with this tumour, causing aesthetic and functional problems. It is necessary to develop a novel treatment strategy for ameloblastoma, but there are currently no innovative treatments. Although our understanding of the molecular biological mechanisms of ameloblastoma is still insufficient, there have been many recent reports of new molecular biological findings on ameloblastoma. Therefore, bioactive factors that have potential for novel therapeutic methods, such as molecular targeted therapy, have been discovered in ameloblastoma. In this review, we summarize the molecular biological findings of ameloblastoma reported over several decades, focusing on factors involved in invasion into surrounding tissues and disease-specific gene mutations. We also mention the effect of the interaction between tumour cells and stromal components in ameloblastoma on tumour development. Scientific field of dental Science: Oral surgery, Odontogenic tumor, Ameloblastoma.

Abstract
Objectives Ameloblastoma is a benign, locally aggressive odontogenic tumor with high recurrence rates. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) mediate extracellular integrity in normal and pathological conditions, and exert multiple functions coordinating inflammation and tumor progression. E‐cadherin and beta‐catenin are adherence junction molecules in cell‐to‐cell connections. We investigated the involvement of MMP‐7, ‐8, ‐9, E‐cadherin, and beta‐catenin in ameloblastoma and the surrounding extracellular matrix. Material and methods Our material consisted of 30–34 tissue samples from ameloblastoma patients of Helsinki University Hospital. We used immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of the biomarkers. Two oral pathologists independently scored the immunoexpression intensities and statistical calculations were made based on the results. Results E‐cadherin expression was weaker in the maxillary than in mandibular ameloblastomas. Beta‐catenin was expressed in the ameloblastoma cell membranes. We detected MMP‐8 and ‐9 expression in polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the extracellular area and these MMPs correlated positively with each other. Osteoclasts lining bone margins and multinuclear giant cells expressed MMP‐9. Neither MMP‐8 nor MMP‐9 immunoexpression could be detected in ameloblastoma cells. MMP‐7 expression was seen in some apoptotic cells. Conclusion The fact that E‐cadherin immunoexpression was weaker in maxillary compared to mandibular ameloblastomas might associate to earlier recurrences. It promotes the idea of mandibular and maxillary ameloblastoma exerting differences in their biologies. We detected MMP‐8 and ‐9 in polymorphonuclear neutrophils which relates to these MMPs participating in extracellular remodeling through a mild inflammatory process. Bone degradation around ameloblastoma may be due to MMP‐9 in osteoclasts but this phenomenon might be an independent process and needs further investigations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND RANKL and RANK play an important role in jaw resorption during the development of the ameloblastomas. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the effect of 99 Tc-MDP on OPG/RANKL/RANK system on RAW264.7 and MC3T3-E1 cell lines in vitro and provide the theoretical basis for the clinical treatment of the jaw ameloblastoma. METHODS Different concentrations of 99 Tc-MDP were used to treat RAW264.7 and MC3T3-E1 cell lines. The cell proliferative inhibition rate was analyzed by CCK-8. Cell apoptosis and cell cycle were detected by flow cytometry. Western blot was used to detect the expression of OPG, RANKL, and RANK. RESULTS Treatment of RAW264.7 cell lines with different concentrations of 99 Tc-MDP had inhibitory effects and decreased the expression of RANK protein. The cell proliferation of 99 Tc-MDP on MC3T3-E1 cell lines was stronger at 48 hours than at 24 hours except for 100 μg/mL concentration group. Compared with the concentration of 0.01 μg/mL, the treatment of MC3T3-E1 cells with 100 μg/mL 99 Tc-MDP showed that the cell proliferative effect decreased at 24 hours and 48 hours (P < 0.05). After treatment with 0.01 μg/mL 99 Tc-MDP, the expression of OPG in MC3T3-E1 cells was significantly increased (P < 0.05). Compared with 0.01 μg/mL, the expression of RANKL was decreased after treatment with 100 μg/mL 99 Tc-MDP (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION 99 Tc-MDP can induce apoptosis of RAW264.7 cells and inhibit the expression of RANK protein. The effect of 0.01 μg/mL of low concentration of 99 Tc-MDP can promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells and increase the expression of OPG and RANKL protein. 99 Tc-MDP may have adjuvant therapeutic effects on the treatment of jaw ameloblastoma.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, regulate important biological processes as gene expression and it was suggested that these phenomena play important roles in the carcinogenesis and tumor biology. The aim of this review is to provide the current state of knowledge about epigenetic alterations, focusing mainly on DNA methylation, reported in odontogenic tumors. DESIGN Literatures were searched based in the combination of the following keywords: odontogenic tumors, epigenetics, DNA methylation, histone modifications, non-coding RNA, microRNA, DNA methyltransferases. Electronic databases (Medline/PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) were screened. RESULTS The analysis of epigenetic alterations in different tumors has rapidly increased; however, limited information is available about epigenetic mechanisms involved in the formation of odontogenic tumors. DNA methylation is the most studied epigenetic modification in these tumors and the participation of non-coding RNA's in odontogenic tumors has been recently addressed. Differential expression of DNA methyltransferases, altered DNA methylation patterns and aberrant expression of non-coding RNA's were reported in odontogenic tumors. CONCLUSIONS Current studies suggest epigenetics as an emerging mechanism, possibly implicated in etiopathogenesis of odontogenic tumors. Deeper understanding of the epigenetic abnormalities in these tumors could show potential applications as biomarkers or therapeutic possibilities in the future.

Abstract
Background: Ameloblastoma (AM) is a benign odontogenic neoplasm characterized by local invasiveness and recurrence. We have evaluated the immunohistochemical expressions of osteonectin (ON), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and Ki-67 in AM to understand the biologic behavior of this neoplasm. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of ON, MMP-9 and Ki-67 in AM. Materials and Methods: The study sample included archival tissues embedded in paraffin blocks histopathologically diagnosed as AM (20 cases). Three serial sections of each tissue specimen were stained separately with ON, MMP-9 and Ki-67 (immunohistochemistry stain) and evaluated. The data were analyzed using Spearman rank correlation test. Results: All AM cases 20/20 (100%) exhibited positive immunostaining for ON, MMP-9 and Ki-67. Conclusion: Increased expression of ON, MMP-9 and Ki-67 in AM indicates that these molecules might play a role in the regulation and aggressive nature of this neoplasm.

Abstract
Ameloblastoma is a benign tumor of the odontogenic epithelium with several histological subtypes. All subtypes of ameloblastoma contain abundant stroma; the tumor cells invade collectively into the surrounding tissues without losing intratumor cell attachments. However, the molecular mechanisms mediating ameloblastoma invasion remain unclear. Here, we evaluated the functional significance of the interactions between ameloblastoma tumor cells and stromal fibroblasts on collective cellular invasion using a three-dimensional cultivation method, double-layered collagen gel hemisphere (DL-CGH) culture. The AM-1 plexiform and AM-3 follicular human ameloblastoma cell lines and HFF-2 human fibroblasts were labeled with GFP and DsRed, respectively. Collective cellular invasion of ameloblastoma cells was assessed in the presence or absence of fibroblasts. Notably, without fibroblasts, AM-1 cells formed sharp, plexiform-like invasive processes, whereas AM-3 cells formed a series of blunt processes often observed during collective migration. In comparison, under the cocultures with HFF-2 fibroblasts, AM-3 cells formed tuft-like invasive processes and collectively invaded into outer layer more than that observed with AM-1 cells. Moreover, HFF-2 fibroblasts localized to the tips of the invasive tumor processes. These findings suggest that tumor-associated cells assist tumor cell invasion. Microscopic analysis of sectioned three-dimensional cultures revealed that AM-3/HFF-2 hemispheres were histologically similar to follicular ameloblastoma tumor samples. Therefore, our findings suggest that ameloblastoma subtypes exhibit distinct invasion patterns and that fibroblasts promote collective tumor invasion in follicular ameloblastoma.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors (TIMPs) have been implicated in the local invasiveness of ameloblastoma. This study aims to assess the role of MMP-9 and TIMP-2 in regulating tumor progression in ameloblastomas, taking tooth germs as control. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue sections of 4 tooth germs and 32 ameloblastomas were immunohistochemically examined using antibodies against MMP-9 and TIMP-2. Strong MMP-9 positivity was seen in the epithelial component in both controls and solid multicystic ameloblastoma. Statistically significant difference was observed in the mean stromal MMP-9 immunoscores between follicular, acanthomatous, and granular ameloblastoma when compared with the tooth germ (P=0.004). TIMP-2 expression in the epithelial and mesenchymal components of solid multicystic ameloblastoma and tooth germ was weak as compared with MMP-9 expression. Highest mean epithelial TIMP-2 immunoscore was observed in follicular ameloblastoma and the difference was statistically significant between follicular and granular ameloblastoma (P=0.05). The comparison of mean stromal TIMP-2 immunoscores showed statistically significant difference between follicular subtype and tooth germ (P=0.048), with tooth germ showing least expression among the groups studied. Strong stromal expression of MMP-9 in ameloblastoma compared with tooth germ mesenchyme indicated the possibility of tumor induction with release of growth factors and cytokines, resulting in invasiveness of ameloblastoma. Epithelial TIMP-2 expression was associated with the least and most aggressive behavior of follicular and granular cell ameloblastoma, respectively. Stromal TIMP-2 expression reflected its role in regulating tumor progression in ameloblastoma and in regulating developmental processes in tooth germs by their inhibitory effect on MMP-9.

Abstract
Ameloblastoma is an aggressive odontogenic tumour, which is locally invasive and highly recurrent. Studies show that ameloblastoma is a benign odontogenic neoplasia, being relatively rare and occasionally presenting behaviour of malignant lesions. In addition to these particularities, the histological diagnosis of ameloblastoma can be challenging when the tumour shows high rates of mitosis, absence of nuclear pleomorphism, basilar hyperplasia and neural invasion. In order to help in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of this neoplasia, some immunohistochemical markers were shown to be associated with tumoural epithelium. The identification of these markers as well as of their association with clinical signs can be useful to elaborate more efficient treatment strategies and to control this pathology, including improvement of the quality of life of patients affected by this neoplasia. This article aims to review some markers associated with specific molecular pathways, bone remodelling, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell signalling and tumour suppression.
