A via de sinalização Wnt desempenha papel no desenvolvimento e progressão destes tumores, mas os mecanismos moleculares envolvidos na gênese e comportamento tumoral ainda são pouco conhecidos. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar em TOQ e AM a expressão imuno-histoquímica de proteínas Wnt1, Wnt5a, β-catenina e Sufu, envolvidas na via de sinalização Wnt, na tentativa de contribuir com a melhor compreensão da patogênese destes tumores. Foram utilizados 37 amostras teciduais parafinizadas e fixadas em formalina de tumores odontogênicos, sendo 18 TOQs e 19 AMs, os quais foram submetidos à técnica imuno-histoquímica. A análise do perfil imuno-histoquímico demonstrou que ambos os tumores apresentaram similaridade na imunoexpressão de Wnt1 e Wnt5a (p=0,571 e p=0,157, respectivamente). Os TOQs apresentaram imunoexpressão de β-catenina significativamente maior que os AMs (p=0,000). Quanto ao Sufu, apesar de sua expressão ter sido maior nos TOQs, não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os tumores (p=0,216). Dentre os biomarcadores avaliados, a β- catenina (p=0,014) e o Wnt5a (p=0,014) apresentaram imunomarcação significativamente maior em TOQs, já nos AMs, a imunoexpressão foi maior principalmente para o Wnt5a (p=0,003). Houve predominância da imunomarcação nucleocitoplasmática do Wnt1 e citoplasmática da β-catenina e do Sufu em TOQs e AMs. Quanto à Wnt5a, os TOQs demonstraram maior imunomarcação nucleocitoplasmática, enquanto nos AMs houve predominância da marcação citoplasmática. Os altos índices de marcação da β-catenina em TOQs e da Wnt5a em TOQs e AMs sugere que estas proteínas tenham maior contribuição com o desenvolvimento, progressão e agressividade destes tumores, e que a Wnt5a atue em receptores diferentes nestes tumores. / Keratocystic Odontogenic Tumor (KCOT) and Ameloblastoma (AM) are common benign odontogenic tumors with locally invasive behavior and high recurrence rates. The Wnt signaling pathway plays a role in the development and progression of these tumors, but the molecular mechanisms involved in the genesis and tumor behavior are still unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of Wnt1, Wnt5a, β-catenin and Sufu proteins involved in the Wnt signaling pathway in KCOT and AM, in an attempt to contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of these tumors. Thirty seven odontogenic tumor cases were paraffin embedded and fixed in formalin for proceeding immunohistochemical technique. Eighteen tumors were KCOT and 19 cases were AMs. Both tumors resembled the immunohistochemical profile for Wnt1 and Wnt5a (p= 0.571 and p=0.157, respectively). KCOTs presented significantly greater immunostaining of β- catenin than AMs (p=0.000). Although, KCOTs expressed more Sufu than AMs, there was no statistically significant difference between tumors (p=0.216). Among the evaluated biomarkers, β-catenin (p=0.014) and Wnt5a (p=0.014) had significantly higher immunostaining in all KCOT cases, meanwhile, the AMs expressed greater immunostaining for Wnt5a (p=0.003). Both tumors immunostaining of Wnt1 was predominantly nucleus/cytoplasmic, and of β-catenin and Sufu were cytoplasmic. KCOTs demonstrated greater immunostaining of Wnt5a in the nucleus/cytoplasm zone, while AMs showed greater predominance of this protein in the cytoplasm. The high intensity staining of β-catenin in KCOTs, and Wnt5a in KCOTs and AMs suggest that these proteins have greater contribution to the development, progression and aggressiveness of these tumors. Furthermore, Wnt5a acts on different receptors in these tumors.
