Objective: Ameloblastoma shows invasive growth and is susceptible to recurrence. This study aimed to.detect the expression of E-Cadherin, Vimentin and β-Catenin (proteins related to epithelial mesenchymal transformation.(EMT) in the ameloblastoma and to explore association with clinicopathological characteristics of ameloblastoma..Methods: Immunohistochemistry was employed to detect the protein expression of E-Cadherin, Vimentin.and β-Catenin in the ameloblastoma, and its association with clinicopathological characteristics of ameloblastoma.was further evaluated. Results: E-Cadherin expression was reduced or absent on the membrane of the peripheral.columnar and cubic epithelial cells; Vimentin expression was high in the interstitium as well as epithelial cells in.ameloblastoma; E-Cadherin expression was negatively related to Vimentin expression. β-catenin expression on the.membrane of ameloblastoma epithelial cells reduced, but its ectopic expression was observed in the cytoplasm.and/or nucleus. Conclusion: EMT related proteins E-Cadherin, β-catenin and Vimentin are involved in the occurrence.and development of ameloblastoma and these proteins can be used as biomarkers of invasiveness of ameloblastoma..
