Abstract
Objective
Laser capture microdissection (LCM) was used to pinpoint the mutated tissue in ameloblastoma and investigate whether B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) mutation is the main pathogenic gene in classic ameloblastoma.
Study Design
A total of 24 patients with ameloblastoma scheduled to undergo surgery between 2000 and 2024 were included in the study. LCM was used to isolate tumor cells. Oxford nanopore technology (ONT) was used to analyze the collected cells. GO and KEGG enrichment analyses were then performed on the 300 most highly expressed genes in the epithelial tissue and mesenchyme.
Results
Mandibular follicular ameloblastoma showed BRAF V600E mutations in all epithelial cells but not in the mesenchyme. The mutation rate was significantly higher in mandibular ameloblastomas compared to the maxilla (P < .05). RNA-seq showed that traditional follicular ameloblastoma epithelium was enriched in “growth factor receptor binding” and “angiogenesis regulation,” while the mesenchyme was enriched in “ECM receptor interaction.” KEGG enrichment analysis showed differential gene expression, mainly in MAPK and PI3K-AKT pathways.
Conclusion
Classical follicular ameloblastoma shows the presence of BRAF V600E mutation in epithelial tissue, with a higher mutation rate in the mandible than in the maxilla. The signaling pathways of MAPK and PI3K may be significantly involved in epithelial signal transduction.
期刊介绍:
Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology and Oral Radiology is required reading for anyone in the fields of oral surgery, oral medicine, oral pathology, oral radiology or advanced general practice dentistry. It is the only major dental journal that provides a practical and complete overview of the medical and surgical techniques of dental practice in four areas. Topics covered include such current issues as dental implants, treatment of HIV-infected patients, and evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders. The official publication for nine societies, the Journal is recommended for initial purchase in the Brandon Hill study, Selected List of Books and Journals for the Small Medical Library.
