Abstract
BACKGROUND Odontogenic keratocyst (OKC) is a relatively common odontogenic lesion characterized by local invasion in the maxillary and mandibular bones. In the pathological tissue slices of OKC, immune cell infiltrations are frequently observed. However, the immune cell profile and the molecular mechanism for immune cell infiltration of OKC are still unclear. We aimed to explore the immune cell profile of OKC and to explore the potential pathogenesis for immune cell infiltration in OKC. METHODS The microarray dataset GSE38494 including OKC and oral mucosa (OM) samples were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database. The differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in OKC were analyzed by R software. The hub genes of OKC were performed by protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The differential immune cell infiltration and the potential relationship between immune cell infiltration and the hub genes were performed by single-sample gene set enrichment analysis (ssGSEA). The expression of COL1A1 and COL1A3 were confirmed by immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry in 17 OKC and 8 OM samples. RESULTS We detected a total of 402 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), of which 247 were upregulated and 155 were downregulated. DEGs were mainly involved in collagen-containing extracellular matrix pathways, external encapsulating structure organization, and extracellular structure organization. We identified ten hub genes, namely FN1, COL1A1, COL3A1, COL1A2, BGN, POSTN, SPARC, FBN1, COL5A1, and COL5A2. A significant difference was observed in the abundances of eight types of infiltrating immune cells between the OM and OKC groups. Both COL1A1 and COL3A1 exhibited a significant positive correlation with natural killer T cells and memory B cells. Simultaneously, they demonstrated a significant negative correlation with CD56dim natural killer cells, neutrophils, immature dendritic cells, and activated dendritic cells. Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that COL1A1 (P = 0.0131) and COL1A3 (P < 0.001) were significantly elevated in OKC compared with OM. CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide insights into the pathogenesis of OKC and illuminate the immune microenvironment within these lesions. The key genes, including COL1A1 and COL1A3, may significantly impact the biological processes associated with OKC.

Elevated Expression of Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor Promotes Inflammatory Bone Resorption Induced in a Mouse Model of Periradicular Periodontitis. THE JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY 2019; 202:2035-2043. [PMID: 30737274 DOI: 10.4049/jimmunol.1801161] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2018] [Accepted: 01/15/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Locally produced osteoclastogenic factor RANKL plays a critical role in the development of bone resorption in periradicular periodontitis. However, because RANKL is also required for healthy bone remodeling, it is plausible that a costimulatory molecule that upregulates RANKL production in inflammatory periradicular periodontitis may be involved in the pathogenic bone loss processes. We hypothesized that macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) would play a role in upregulating the RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis in the periradicular lesion. In response to pulp exposure, the bone loss and level of MIF mRNA increased in the periradicular periodontitis, which peaked at 14 d, in conjunction with the upregulated expressions of mRNAs for RANKL, proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β), chemokines (MCP-1 and SDF-1), and MIF's cognate receptors CXCR4 and CD74. Furthermore, expressions of those mRNAs were found significantly higher in wild-type mice compared with that of MIF-/- mice. In contrast, bacterial LPS elicited the production of MIF from ligament fibroblasts in vitro, which, in turn, enhanced their productions of RANKL and TNF-α. rMIF significantly upregulated the number of TRAP+ osteoclasts in vitro. Finally, periapical bone loss induced in wild-type mice were significantly diminished in MIF-/- mice. Altogether, the current study demonstrated that MIF appeared to function as a key costimulatory molecule to upregulate RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis, leading to the pathogenically augmented bone resorption in periradicular lesions. These data also suggest that the approach to neutralize MIF activity may lead to the development of a therapeutic regimen for the prevention of pathogenic bone loss in periradicular periodontitis.

Abstract
AIM To document a case of a keratocystic odontogenic tumour (KOT) involving the apical region in the maxilla mimicking a periapical lesion of endodontic origin. SUMMARY Benign and malignant tumours, including odontogenic lesions, can be erroneously diagnosed as periapical radiolucencies. KOTs mimicking periapical lesions of endodontic origin are uncommon, especially when the lesions involve the maxilla. This article describes a 55-year-old man with a well-delimited, oval-shaped, radiolucent lesion, occupying the middle and apical third of teeth 22 and 23. After 30 days, the clinical and radiographic findings remained unchanged and the patient was referred for surgical removal of the lesion. Clinical, radiographic and histopathological features are also discussed and compared with current literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Odontogenic cysts are those which arise from the epithelium associated with the development of teeth. Some odontogenic cysts were found to have special biological features that make them distinct from other lesions. This study was conducted to detect the immunoepxression of laminin-1 and Ki-67 in both radicular cysts (RCs) and keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KCOTs) and to examine the possible predictive value of these markers. METHODS Thirteen cases of RCs and twelve cases of KCOTs were included in this study. Antibodies against laminin-1 and Ki-67 were used as primary antibodies. RESULTS ten cases out of thirteen cases of RCs were immunopositive to laminin-1. The immunonegative cases of RCs showed high degree of inflammation inside the connective tissue wall. One case out of twelve cases of KCOTs was immunopositive to laminin-1 and the rest were immunonegative. Seven cases out of thirteen cases of RCs showed immunopositivity for Ki-67 with increased numbers of immunopositive cells when the inflammation was severe in the connective tissue wall. All KCOTS were immunopositive to Ki-67. CONCLUSIONS The benign nature of radicular cysts and the aggressive behavior of keratocystic odontogenic tumors could be explained by the expression of laminin and Ki-67. Laminin-1 and Ki-67 could be valuable markers for the prediction of the biologic behavior of cystic lesions.
