The odontogenic keratocyst transcriptomic profile is characterized by a prominent epidermal and dental epithelial fate, a repressed dental mesenchyme fate combined with deregulated extracellular matrix organization, and enhanced stemness gene signatures. Thus, we propose a developed epidermis-like phenotype in the odontogenic keratocyst suprabasal epithelial cells, established in parallel to a significant upregulation of marker genes related to embryonic stem cells and cellular reprogramming.
