The expression of p53 protein was studied in odontogenic keratocysts (OKC, 11 solitary, 5 recurrent and 6 NBCCS cysts), radicular (RC, n = 5) and dentigerous (DC, n = 5) cysts, using a panel of antibodies to p53 (clone BP53-12, clone 1801 and polyclonal CM1) and a sensitive biotin-streptavidin method on paraffin embedded sections. Of the three antibodies tested, clone BP53-12 gave the most intense and consistent nuclear staining pattern. Clone 1801 and polyclonal CM1 stained only 38% and 71% OKC linings, respectively, but not RC and DC linings. However, BP53-12+ cells were detected in the epithelial linings of all cyst types. Quantification of BP53-12+ cells was performed by manual counting and by relating cell number to unit length of basement membrane as determined by TV image analysis. BP53-12+ cell counts in solitary OKC linings (25.5 +/- 11.0 cells/mmBM) were significantly greater than those in DC (9.3 +/- 4.9 cells/mmBM, P < 0.01) and RC (6.7 +/- 2.6 cells/mmBM, P < 0.01) linings. The epithelial distribution of positive cells in OKC was predominantly suprabasal, which also varied from that of DC and RC linings (P < 0.005). There were no detectable differences in BP53-12 reactivity between the different subtypes of OKC (i.e., solitary, recurrent and NBCCS-associated OKC; P > 0.1). When data for the NBCCS-related OKC group were excluded, there was a significant correlation (r = 0.55, P < 0.01) between p53 and Ki67 labelling. To detect the presence of p53 gene mutations, genomic DNA, extracted from paraffin sections of OKC (4 solitary, 2 recurrent and 4 NBCCS cysts), RC (n = 3) and normal oral mucosa (n = 1), was subjected to a combination of polymerase chain reaction and single-stranded conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis for exons 5-10 of the p53 gene. Exon 4 was not analysed because of compromised DNA quality. No abnormality in banding patterns was found and all samples gave results similar to DNA from known, sequenced, normal p53 gene controls. Absence of p53 mutations within exons 5-9 was confirmed by the direct sequencing of 2 fresh frozen OKC samples (1 solitary and 1 NBCCS cyst). These results suggest that overexpression of p53 protein in OKC epithelium, detected by immunocytochemistry, is not reflected by alteration of the p53 gene and presumably reflects overproduction and/or stabilisation of normal p53 protein.
