Osteonectin (OSN) is a glycoprotein involved in the early steps of the mineralization of skeletal tissue, while osteopontin (OPN) is a protein involved in normal and pathological calcifications. OSN and OPN are non-collageneous bone matrix proteins expressed by some epithelial tumor cells in exceptional cases. We immunohistochemically investigated the presence and the distribution of OSN and OPN in 43 pleomorphic adenomas to elucidate the production of their molecules by modified myoepithelial cells. In normal salivary glands, OSN was immunolocalized in the striated ducts, while OPN was not expressed. In pleomorphic adenomas, the inner layer of tubulo-glandular structures and modified myoepithelial cells in the myxoid areas showed moderate positivity for OSN (83.7%). OSN was expressed in all of the lacuna cells in the chondroid areas. OPN was strongly expressed in the stroma of the myxoid and hyaline areas of the pleomorphic adenomas (65.1%), but there was no expression of OPN in the chondroid area. All cases of pleomorphic adenomas expressed type IV collagen. These findings suggested that OSN was related to the production of the type IV collagen by modified myoepithelial cells, whereas OPN was involved in the stromal formation of myxoid or hyaline tissues in pleomorphic adenomas. In summary, pleomorphic adenomas expressed the bone matrix proteins OSN and OPN.
