High Expression of Osteopontin and CD44v6 in Odontogenic Keratocysts
Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) are more aggressive and more osteolytic lesions than dentigerous cysts (DCs) and radicular cysts (RCs). Osteopontin (OPN) is related to cancer metastasis and bone destruction. Binding of OPN to its cell membrane receptors integrin αv and CD44v6 can enhance tumor cell m...
