This consideration is supported by the observation of multiple allelic losses in the coding loci of chromosome 9p21 in squamous cell carcinomas and in dysplastic premalignant lesions. The present study hypothesized that comparable alterations already occur in leukoplakia, which are seen as potential predecessors of oral squamous cell carcinomas and that it is possible to differ leukoplakia with from leukoplakia without further malignant transformation. Furthermore we evaluated, whether such leukoplakia show sequence alterations in the genes p16 and p14ARF, which are capable to cause a limitation in gene function. The results show that the LOH pattern in genes p16 and p14ARF occur as well in leuplakia with malignant transformation as in leukoplakia, that do not show clinical alterations. The rate of allelic loss did not differ significantly. Overall, the incidence of allelic loss was lower in leuplakia compared to succeeding squamous-cell carcinomas (p<0,05). The results further illustrated an increase in LOH patterns in dyplastic leukoplakia, without reaching statistical significance. Significant increases in allelic losses were found in heavy smokers, (p < 0,05). PCR analysis of the exons 1-alpha, exon 1-beta and exon 2 in leukoplakia, containing LOH patterns did not show genetic alterations. Thus we concluded, that gene deletion and gene mutation have a minor role in the inactivation process of p16 and p14ARF in oral leukoplakia. Representing an early process in carcinogenesis, gene deletion and mutation occur in leukoplakia with and without malignant transformation. Therefore, taken as a singular parameter they represent an uncertain criteria to assess the potential of malignant transformation. However they could provide information in combination with other genetic factors like chromosomal methylation patterns and histology.</p>","PeriodicalId":79515,"journal":{"name":"Mund-, Kiefer- und Gesichtschirurgie : MKG","volume":" ","pages":"317-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1007/s10006-007-0086-0","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41021147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are different types of stem cells, which are applicable for dental treatments. The use of embryonic stem cells, whose possibilities for breeding an artificial tooth were hardly evaluated, is however ethically precarious. On the other side the ethically harmless adult stem cells, which were isolated for example from bone marrow, were little examined for their capability of differentiation into dental tissues. Therefore their forthcoming use in dentistry is rather improbable. However, dental ectomesenchymal stem cells are more promising for dentistry in future. For example dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are capable to differentiate into dentin under in vitro conditions. Moreover it is possible to use periodontal ligament (PDL) stem cells and dental follicle precursors for periodontal tissue differentiations in vitro. Recently new populations of stem cells were isolated from the dental pulp and the PDL. These cells distinguish from the initially isolated DPSCs and PDL stem cells in growth and cell differentiation. Therefore stem cell markers are very important for the characterization of dental stem cells. A significant marker for dental stem cells is STRO-1, which is also a marker for bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells. Nonetheless dental stem cells are CD45 negative and they express rarely hematopoietic stem cell markers.
