Giant-cell epulis: immunohistochemical analysis of MGMT, p53, OPN and MMP-1Original contributions
Object: The object of this study was to analyze the expression of MGMT, p53, OPN and MMP-1 in giant-cell epulis.
Methods: 10 giant-cell epulis were evaluated for expression of MGMT, p53, OPN and MMP-1 by immunohistochemistry.
Results: Strong giant-cell positivity for MGMT was observed in 96.9 ± 0.5 % (P < 0.05). Strong mesenchymal immunoreactivity for MMP-1 was figured in giant-cell, 75.9 ± 1.33 % and in the stroma 54.12 ± 1.36 % (P < 0.05). Immunoreactivity for OPN was fixed in the giant-cell of epulis 15.77 ± 1.8%., positivity for p53 was found in 5.67 ± 0.32 % of giant-cell contrast and in the stroma 0 %.
Conclusion: MGMT, p53 and OPN may play important roles in the biology of giant-cell epulis. Furthermore, theMMP-1 of these pro teases at higher levels in giant-cell epulis may help to explain invasion in bone matrix.
Keywords: MGMT, p53, OPN and MMP-1, immunohistochemistry, oral giant-cell epulis
