Abstract

Abstract The biological behavior of lesions is highly dependent on the imbalance between their proliferative and apoptotic capacity. This study evaluated a correlation between the proliferative and apoptotic rates of different oral vascular anomalies (VAs) by analyzing the immunoexpression of proliferation (Ki-67) and apoptosis (Bcl-2 and Bax) markers in endothelial cells of 20 cases of GLUT-1 positive infantile hemangiomas (IHs), 20 cases of pyogenic granulomas (PGs) and 20 cases of vascular malformations (VMs). Immunoexpression analysis of Ki-67, Bcl-2 and Bax revealed a lower median percentage of positive cells in VMs cases compared to IHs and PGs cases (P <0.001). The Wilcoxon signed‐rank test showed significantly higher percentages of immunostaining for Bax than for Bcl‐2 in IHs (P = 0.048). In the group of PGs, a positive correlation was observed between the immunoexpressions of Ki-67 and Bax (r = 0.476; P = 0.034). Although oral IHs, PGs and VMs present similar clinical and histopathological features, each of these lesions has its etiopathogenic particularities. The results of this study suggest that different biological behaviors of VAs may be related to differences in the proliferative and apoptotic profiles of their endothelial cells.
