Previous issue date: 2010-09-23 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / The odontogenic keratocysts are distinguished from other odontogenic cystic lesions by their potentially aggressive clinical behavior and association, in some cases, with Gorlin syndrome. Studies have suggested that syndrome keratocysts, in comparison with sporadic lesions, have higher growth and infiltration capacity and higher recurrence tendency. The aim of this study was to analyze, by means of immunohistochemistry, the expressions of receptor activator of nuclear factor ?B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), the angiogenic index (CD34) and the presence of myofibroblasts (?-SMA) in primary and recurrent sporadic keratocysts and in keratocysts associated with Gorlin syndrome. The sample was composed by 30 sporadic keratocysts (22 primary and 8 recurrent) and 22 syndrome keratocysts. In the epithelium and in the fibrous capsule of the lesions, the immunoexpression of RANKL and OPG was evaluated by determination of the percentage of positive cells, according to the following scores: 0 (less than 10% of positive cells), 1 (11% - 50% of positive cells), 2 (51% - 75% of positive cells) and 3 (more than 76% of positive cells). In addition, cases were classified according to the RANKL score/ OPG score ratio, as follows: RANKL > OPG, RANKL < OPG, and RANKL = OPG. The angiogenic index was analyzed by counting the microvessels immunoreactive to anti-CD34 antibody in 5 fields (200?). The analysis of myofibroblasts was performed by counting the cells immunoreactive to anti-?-SMA antibody in 10 fields (400?). The analysis of the expressions of RANKL and OPG in the epithelial lining and in the fibrous capsule did not reveal significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). Regarding the RANKL/ OPG ratio in the epithelial lining, most sporadic primary (54.5%) and syndrome lesions (59.1%) showed RANKL < OPG ratio and RANKL = OPG ratio, respectively (p > 0.05). With respect to the RANKL/ OPG ratio in the fibrous capsule, the majority of sporadic primary (81.8%) and sporadic recurrent lesions (75.0%) and most syndrome lesions (45.5%) showed RANKL = OPG ratio (p > 0.05). The mean number of microvessels was 69.2 in sporadic primary lesions, 67.6 in recurrent lesions, and 71.6 in syndrome lesions, with no significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). The mean number of myofibroblasts was 34.4 in sporadic primary lesions, 29.3 in recurrent lesions, and 33.7 in syndrome lesions, with no significant differences between groups (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the results of the present study suggest that the differences in the biological behavior between sporadic keratocysts and keratocysts associated with Gorlin syndrome may not be related to the expressions of RANKL and OPG, the RANKL/ OPG ratio, the angiogenic index or the number of myofibroblasts in these lesions / Os ceratocistos odontog?nicos se destacam em rela??o a outras les?es c?sticas odontog?nicas pelo comportamento cl?nico potencialmente agressivo e por se apresentarem associados, em alguns casos, ? s?ndrome de Gorlin. Estudos t?m sugerido que os ceratocistos sindr?micos, em compara??o ?s les?es isoladas, possuem maior capacidade de crescimento e infiltra??o e maior tend?ncia ? recorr?ncia. O objetivo do presente trabalho consistiu em analisar, por meio de imuno-histoqu?mica, as express?es do ligante do receptor ativador do fator nuclear ?B (RANKL) e da osteoprotegerina (OPG), o ?ndice angiog?nico (CD34) e a presen?a de miofibroblastos (?-SMA), em ceratocistos isolados prim?rios e recorrentes e ceratocistos associados ? s?ndrome de Gorlin. A amostra foi composta por 30 ceratocistos isolados (22 prim?rios e 8 recorrentes) e 22 ceratocistos sindr?micos. A express?o de RANKL e OPG foi avaliada no epit?lio e na c?psula fibrosa das les?es, estabelecendo-se o percentual de c?lulas imunopositivas, de acordo com os escores: 0 (? 10% das c?lulas positivas), 1 (11% - 50% das c?lulas positivas), 2 (51% - 75% das c?lulas positivas) e 3 (? 76% das c?lulas positivas). Al?m disso, os casos foram categorizados, segundo a propor??o RANKL/ OPG, em: RANKL > OPG, RANKL < OPG e RANKL = OPG. O ?ndice angiog?nico foi analisado por meio da contagem dos microvasos imunomarcados pelo anticorpo anti-CD34, em 5 campos (200?). Para a avalia??o dos miofibroblastos, foram quantificadas as c?lulas imunorreativas ao anticorpo anti-?-SMA, em 10 campos (400?). A an?lise das express?es de RANKL e OPG, no revestimento epitelial e na c?psula fibrosa, n?o revelou diferen?as significativas entre os grupos (p > 0,05). Em rela??o ? propor??o RANKL/ OPG no revestimento epitelial, grande parte das les?es isoladas prim?rias (54,5%) e sindr?micas (59,1%) exibiu propor??o RANKL < OPG e propor??o RANKL = OPG, respectivamente (p > 0,05). Em rela??o ? propor??o RANKL/ OPG na c?psula fibrosa, a maioria das les?es isoladas prim?rias (81,8%) e isoladas recorrentes (75,0%) e grande parte das les?es associadas ? s?ndrome de Gorlin (45,5%) revelaram propor??o RANKL = OPG (p > 0,05). O n?mero m?dio de microvasos foi de 69,2 nas les?es isoladas prim?rias, 67,6 nas les?es recorrentes e 71,6 nas les?es sindr?micas, sem diferen?as significativas entre os grupos (p > 0,05). A an?lise dos miofibroblastos revelou valores m?dios de 34,4 nas les?es isoladas prim?rias, 29,3 nas les?es recorrentes e 33,7 nas les?es sindr?micas, sem diferen?as significativas entre os grupos (p > 0,05). Em conclus?o, os resultados do presente estudo sugerem que as diferen?as no comportamento biol?gico entre ceratocistos isolados e associados ? s?ndrome de Gorlin podem n?o estar relacionadas ?s express?es de RANKL e OPG, ? propor??o RANKL/ OPG, ao ?ndice angiog?nico ou ? quantidade de miofibroblastos presentes nas les?es
