Objective: The objective of this study was to compare the expression of proteins p53, MDM2, and SUMO-1 in oral lichen planus (OLP) lesions, epithelial dysplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of the following five groups of cheek mucosa lesions: normal mucosa (NM), inflammatory fibrous hyperplasia (IFH), lichen planus, epithelial dysplasia, and squamous cell carcinoma. The tissue samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and submitted to immunohistochemistry using anti-p53, anti-MDM2, and anti-SUMO-1 antibodies. Results: The results of this study demonstrated similar expression of p53 and MDM2 between OLP, oral epithelial dysplasia and, to a lesser extent, between OLP and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, for SUMO-1 a similar expression was observed in OLP, NM, and IFH. Conclusions: The results demonstrated overexpression of important proteins (p53 and MDM2) related to regulatory mechanisms of apoptosis in OLP, suggesting that there is a favorable environment for malignant transformation. The expression of SUMO-1 in OLP was similar to NM and IFH, suggesting that alterations of this protein occur at later stages of carcinogenesis, because important overexpression occurred in oral epithelial dysplasia and OSCC. © 2013 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

Hereditary myotonia caused by mutations in CLCN1 has been previously described in humans, goats, dogs, mice and horses. The goal of this study was to characterize the clinical, morphological and genetic features of hereditary myotonia in Murrah buffalo. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed on affected and normal animals. CLCN1 cDNA and the relevant genomic region from normal and affected animals were sequenced. The affected animals exhibited muscle hypertrophy and stiffness. Myotonic discharges were observed during EMG, and dystrophic changes were not present in skeletal muscle biopsies; the last 43 nucleotides of exon-3 of the CLCN1 mRNA were deleted. Cloning of the genomic fragment revealed that the exclusion of this exonic sequence was caused by aberrant splicing, which was associated with the presence of a synonymous SNP in exon-3 (c.396C>T). The mutant allele triggered the efficient use of an ectopic 5' splice donor site located at nucleotides 90-91 of exon-3. The predicted impact of this aberrant splicing event is the alteration of the CLCN1 translational reading frame, which results in the incorporation of 24 unrelated amino acids followed by a premature stop codon.

Objectives: Describe a new case of keratocyst of the buccal mucosa and compare its immunohistochemical features with 13 sporadic intraosseous keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOT). Case Report and Study Design: A male complaining about an enlargement on the left buccal mucosa was referred to the Stomatology Clinic. Clinical examination revealed a solitary nodule posterior to the parotid papilla. An excisional biopsy was performed following clinical diagnosis of epidermoid cyst. Microscopically, the lesion was characterized by a lining of five cell layers, with columnar basal cells and a corrugated parakeratinized surface. Immunohistochemical reactions for PTCH-1, Smo, Shh, mTOR, bcl-2, Ck17, and Ck19 were performed. PTCH-1 was not expressed in the keratocyst of the buccal mucosa, but was observed in suprabasal layers of eight (61.5%) cases of sporadic intraosseous KOT. Shh, mTOR, bcl-2, Ck17, and Ck19 expression was observed in all the cases investigated. Conclusions: The morphology and immunoprofile of this lesion are similar to sporadic intraosseous KOT. © 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
