Abstract

Odontogenic myxoma is a rare benign neoplasm occurring in the jaws. Microscopically, it is composed of spindle or stellate-shaped cells arranged in a mucinous matrix. In some cases (20%), odontogenic epithelial islands may be found. The Authors evaluated p53, MIB-1, and Bcl-2 expressed by the epithelial and stromal elements in 12 cases of odontogenic myxoma of the jaws. The cells of the odontogenic epithelium were positive for Bcl-2, p53 and MIB-1. The stromal cell showed a high positivity for MIB-1. Proliferation of both the epithelial and stromal components could be related to the growth of this odontogenic tumour.

BCL-2 Family Proteins

BLC-2 family proteins are a group that share the same homologous BH domain. They play many different roles including pro-survival signals, mitochondria-mediated apoptosis and removal or damaged cells. They are often regulated by phosphorylation, affecting their catalytic activity. Here is the latest research on BCL-2 family proteins.
