Abstract
Background
Ameloblastoma is an aggressively growing, highly recurrent odontogenic jaw tumor. Its association with BRAFV600E mutation is an indication for BRAFV00E-inhibitor therapy The study objective was to identify a sensitive low-cost test for BRAFV600E-positive ameloblastoma. We hypothesized that immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues for BRAFV600E mutation is a low-cost surrogate for BRAFV600E gene sequencing when laboratory resources are inadequate for molecular testing.
Methods
Tissues from 40 ameloblastoma samples were retrieved from either formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded blocks, RNAlater™ stabilization solution or samples inadvertently pre-fixed in formalin before transfer to RNAlater™. BRAFV600E mutation was assessed by Direct Sanger sequencing, Amplification Refractory Mutation System-PCR and immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Results
BRAFV600E mutation was detected by IHC, Amplification Refractory Mutation System-PCR and Direct Sanger sequencing in 93.33%, 52.5% and 30% of samples respectively. Considering Direct Sanger sequencing as standard BRAFV600E detection method, there was significant difference between the three detection methods (𝜒2 (2) = 31.34, p < 0.0001). Sensitivity and specificity of IHC were 0.8 (95% CI: 0.64–0.90) and 0.9 (95% CI: 0.75–0.99) respectively, while positive predictive value and negative predictive value (NPV) were 0.9 and 0.8 (Fischer's test, p < 0.0001) respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of Amplification Refractory Mutation System-PCR detection method were 0.7 (95% CI: 0.53–0.80) and 0.9 (95% CI = 0.67–0.98) respectively, while PPV and NPV were 0.9 and 0.6 respectively (Fischer's test, p < 0.0001).
Conclusion
Low-cost and less vulnerability of IHC to tissue quality make it a viable surrogate test for BRAFV600E detection in ameloblastoma. Sequential dual IHC and molecular testing for BRAFV600E will reduce equivocal results that could exclude some patients from BRAFV600E-inhibitor therapies.
期刊介绍:
The aim of the Journal of Oral Pathology & Medicine is to publish manuscripts of high scientific quality representing original clinical, diagnostic or experimental work in oral pathology and oral medicine. Papers advancing the science or practice of these disciplines will be welcomed, especially those which bring new knowledge and observations from the application of techniques within the spheres of light and electron microscopy, tissue and organ culture, immunology, histochemistry and immunocytochemistry, microbiology, genetics and biochemistry.
