Abstract:

Background: Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) is a chronic autoimmune disease that could be considered as a potential premalignant status. Objective: To evaluate the miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 expression levels in patients with oral Lichen planus lesions compared to healthy subjects with normal oral mucosa. Methods: Forty patients with oral lichen planus and 18 healthy age and gender-matched controls were recruited in this case-control study. Oral lichen planus was diagnosed clinically and pathologically. The expression levels of two miRNAs in peripheral blood samples were determined using commercial TaqMan MicroRNA Assays. Relative quantification of gene expression was calculated by the 2-ΔΔct method. Results: The expression levels of miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 in patients with oral Lichen planus were significantly higher than the of the healthy control group. Also, a direct but insignificant correlation was found between miRNA-155 and miRNA-146a expression levels among the patient group. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that miRNA-146a and miRNA-155 could be potential biomarkers for the immunopathogenesis of oral lichen planus.

The TF-miRNA Coregulation Network in Oral Lichen Planus

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects oral mucosa, some of which may finally develop into oral squamous cell carcinoma. Therefore, pinpointing the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of OLP is important to develop efficient treatments for OLP. Recently, the accumulation of the large amount of omics data, especially transcriptome data, provides oppo...

Disease-Associated miRNA-mRNA Networks in Oral Lichen Planus

BACKGROUND A large number of pathophysiological mechanisms are regulated by microRNAs (miRNAs), which represent a new class of posttranscriptional regulators of gene expression. To date, little is known about their role in oral lichen planus (OLP), a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease of unknown etiology which is being discussed as a potentially premalignant condition of oropharyngeal c...

Serum and salivary levels of vitamin D in oral lichen planus patients

Introduction: Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory function. The role of vitamin D deficiency has been established in the development of many types of cancers and autoimmune diseases. Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common chronic autoimmune in oral cavity. This study aimed to evaluate the serum and salivary levels of total vitamin 25 (OH) D3 in patients with the OLP and to assess...

VCAM1 and ICAM1 expression in oral lichen planus

Oral lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated disease. ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are vascular adhesion molecules that their receptors are located on endothelial cells and leukocytes. The aim of this study is the immunohistochemical evaluation of VCAM1 and ICAM1 in oral lichen planus and to compare these two markers with normal mucosa for evaluation of angiogenesis. This descriptive-analy...

The Evaluation of the Level of C3 and C4 Complements in Unstimulated Saliva of Patients with Oral Lichen Planus

Background and Objectives: Deficiency in the complement system can lead to some autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus. The purpose of this study was to investigate the levels of C3 and C4 complements in unstimulated saliva of individuals with oral lichen planus (OLP) and healthy subjects. Methods: In this case-control study, 31 healthy individuals and 31 patients with OLP en...

Evaluation of serum Malondialdehyde level in patients with oral lichen planus

Introduction: Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a useful determinant to show high level of lipid peroxidation which lead to impaired cell function. Previous studies have mentioned there is a relationship between high oxidative stress and low anti-oxidant activity in patients with oral lichen planus. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum level of Malondialdehyde as an indicator of oxidative stress ...
