Background/Aim: Masticatory muscle tendonaponeurosis hyperplasia (MMTAH) is a disease associated with a mouth opening limitation. Here, we conducted a bioinformatics analysis to examine gene expression patterns in patients with MMTAH in comparison to those with facial deformity (FD). Materials and Methods: Seven MMTAH patients and three FD patients were recruited. We conducted RNA sequencing analysis, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analysis. Results: Of the identified 19,767 mapped read tags that showed clear differential expression, 2,471 genes were significantly up-regulated and 2,849 genes were significantly down-regulated in patients with MMTAH compared to those in patients with FD. Among the up-regulated genes, ten genes were significantly increased. The distribution of upregulated and down-regulated genes at different ages tended to be similar. Moreover, the protein levels of Ankyrin Repeat Domain 2, Troponin T1 and myosin heavy chain 7, which are associated with slow twitch fibers and mechanical loading, were strongly expressed in patients with MMTAH compared to those in patients with FD. Conclusion: The gene expression pattern in MMTAH patients was similar regardless of age. As the transition of fast-to-slow twitch in the skeletal muscle is induced by mechanical loading, and up-regulation of slow twitch molecules was observed in MMTAH patients, mechanical loading is suggested to be implicated in MMTAH.
