Title in Portuguese
Imuno-expressão da DNMT1, DNMT3a e DNMT3b nos tumores odontogênicos
Keywords in Portuguese

Metilação
Tumor odontogênico
Abstract in Portuguese
Os tumores odontogênicos são um grupo heterogéneo de lesões formadas a partir de tecidos que dão origem ao dente. A metilação do ADN, uma adição covalente de um grupo metilo na posição 5 de carbono de um nucleótideo de citosina, é considerado um importante regulador da expressão génica. A adição do radical metil é catalisada por ADN metiltransferases (DNMTs). Embora alguns estudos epigenéticos tenham sido realizados em tumores odontogênicos, um estudo com os três tipos de DNMTs em vários membros desse grupo está em falta. Este estudo analisa a expressão de DNMTs em tumores odontogênicos. Amostras de vinte ameloblastomas, dez Calcificante tumores odontogênicos císticos, dez calcificados tumores epiteliais, dez tumor odontogênico adenomatóide, dez tumores odontogênicos queratocísticos, quatro fibromas ameloblásticos, dois fibro-odontoma ameloblástico, quatro fibroma centrais odontogênicos, sete tecidos de fibromas odontogênicos periféricos e dez mixomas odontogênicos foram incluídos. DNMT1, 3A e 3B foram expressas no núcleo e / ou citoplasma de todos os tumores odontogênicos. A alta expressão de DNMTs em células de tumor odontogênico sugere metilação como um mecanismo importante para este grupo de tumores.

DNA Methyltransferase 1, 3A and 3B immunohistochemical expression in odontogenic tumours

Odontogenic Tumours
Abstract in English
Odontogenic tumours are a heterogeneous group of lesions formed from tissues that give rise to the tooth. DNA methylation, a covalent addition of a methyl group to the 5-carbon position of a cytosine nucleotide, is considered an important regulator of gene expression. The addition of the methyl radical is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). Although some epigenetic studies have been conducted in odontogenic tumours, a study with the three types of DNMTs in several different members of this group is missing. This study analyzes the expression of DNMTs in odontogenic tumours. Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue samples of twenty ameloblastomas, ten calcifying cystic odontogenic tumors, ten calcifying epithelial tumors, ten adenomatoid odontogenic tumors, ten keratocystic odontogenic tumors, five ameloblastic fibromas, two ameloblastic fibro-odontoma, four central odontogenic fibroma, seven peripheral odontogenic fibroma and ten odontogenic mixoma were included. DNMT1, 3A and 3B were expressed in the nucleus and/or cytoplasm of all odontogenic tumours. The high expression of DNMTs in odontogenic tumour cells suggests methylation as an important mechanism for this group of tumours.
