Notes:
Glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans were analysed in keratinizing and non-keratinizing odontogenic cyst fluids. Hyaluronic acid showed the highest incidence and abundance amongst the glycosaminoglycans detected. Appreciable amounts of ehondroitin-4-sulphatc were also observed, particularly in the dental cysts, with lesser amounts of the other glycosaminoglycans. Heparan sulphate showed a higher incidence and abundance in the keratocyst than the other cysts, whilst chondroitin-6-sulphatc could not be detected in any of the cysts. A considerable proportion of the glycosaminoglycans of the fluids appeared to be complexed with protein and was released only after protcolytic digestion. The origin of these macromolecules is uncertain although it is likely that they are derived from both the connective tissue and the epithelium of the cyst wall.
