In odontogenesis, Cx43 expression in ameloblasts and odontoblasts orchestrates differentiation, mineralization, and tissue repair. Its dynamic regulation influences enamel and dentin formation, while altered expression is linked to defective tooth development. Beyond dental tissues, Cx43 participates in craniofacial morphogenesis and bone remodeling. In odontogenic tumors, Cx43 shows heterogeneous expression patterns, reflecting its role in tumor architecture, differentiation, and aggressiveness. High mesenchymal expression is seen in ameloblastic fibromas and fibro-odontomas, whereas follicular ameloblastomas and odontogenic keratocysts exhibit downregulation, particularly in basal cells-correlating with increased proliferation, anti-apoptosis, and autophagy markers. These variations in odontogenic tumors suggest that Cx43 may act as a tumor suppressor by maintaining epithelial organization and regulating cell polarity. Molecularly, Cx43 interacts with MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT, and Wnt/β-catenin pathways, influencing cell cycle control, apoptosis, and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Loss of Cx43 disrupts gap junctional intercellular communication, potentially enhancing tumor progression. Therapeutically, modulating Cx43 could inhibit tumor angiogenesis, restore normal growth control, and promote differentiation toward less aggressive phenotypes. However, given its dual role in tumor suppression and tissue repair, targeted interventions must be context-specific. Cx43 emerges as a promising diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic biomarker in different neoplasias, warranting further investigation to optimize clinical applications. The objective of this work is to review current information on the role of CX43 in normal tissue and odontogenic tumors to evaluate its possible usefulness as a future therapeutic target.</p>","PeriodicalId":13164,"journal":{"name":"Histology and histopathology","volume":" ","pages":"25002"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145238263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, it demonstrated clear differentiation from the hematoxylin-stained nucleus, endogenous melanin, and brown chromogenic results of HRP-DAB. TMB staining in tissues that contain high endogenous pigment levels eliminates the need for melanin bleaching, thereby facilitating direct observation and potentially improving the detection speed and interpretation. TMB can also be used in combination with DAB for dIHC, thus allowing detection of the two markers on a single slide. However, the TMB staining results are not stable over the long term and require image storage using slide scanners, thereby limiting its application. Additionally, in dIHC, overlapping signals of the first marker may obscure the second marker, potentially leading to bias or false negatives. Therefore, careful consideration is required when designing dIHC detection systems.
