| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Gorlin syndrome is a dominantly inherited autosomal disease with a high frequency of tumor induction caused by the hedgehog receptor PTCH1. We analyzed PTCH1 and SMO alternation in Gorlin syndrome-associated tumors, such as malignant basal cell carcinoma, benign keratocystic odontogenic tumor (KCOT), and ovarian fibroma, revealing that the mutational status of PTCH1 or SMO itself does not account for differences in malignancy and tissue-specificity of these tumors.
KCOT is the most frequent benign tumor in Gorlin syndrome patients. We established KCOT cell lines from sporadic and Gorlin syndrome-derived KCOTs. Both lines showed stem and mesenchymal cell characteristics. However, in the presence of calcium, cells showed parakeratosis and epithelial or keratinocyte-related proteins were induced. These features were similar to those of in vivo KCOTs. Using these cell lines and 3-D hydrogel culture, we may be able to advance understanding of the nature and origin of KCOTs.
