| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ameloblastoma is the most common benign odontogenic tumor in Japan. It is believed that it expands in the jaw bone through peritumoral activation of osteoclasts by RANKL released from the ameloblastoma. However, we found that ameloblastoma cells (AM-1) formed resorption pits on calcium phosphate-coated plates by activation of V-ATPase and CLC-7 like osteoclasts. This demineralization activity was inhibited by application of bafilomycin A1, a typical V-ATPase blocker. Furthermore, V-ATPase and CLC-7 were detected on the surface of AM-1 cells by plasma membrane biotinylation and immunofluorescence analysis. Immunohistochemical analysis of clinical samples of ameloblastoma also showed plasma membrane-localized V-ATPase and CLC-7 in the epithelium of plexiform, follicular and basal cell types. These results suggest that the expansion of several typical types of ameloblastomas in jaw bone is attributable to its demineralization ability.
