Abstract:
:Oral mucosal lichen planus (OMLP) is a well recognized mucosal disease with unknown aetiology. Considerable controversy exists as to whether OMLP is intrinsically premalignant, or if the disorder facilitates the development of oral mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (OMSCC) by external factors. The aim of the present studies was to investigate the expression of c-erbB-2 protein in the keratinocytes of the initial biopsies of oral mucosal disorders diagnosed as OMLP with no evidence of epithelial dysplasia and to compare the results with the expression of c-erbB-2 protein in subsequent biopsies obtained from the same patients. These results were compared with the findings from another 26 biopsies from patients with OMLP and control groups (patients with dysplasia with no evidence of OMLP, patients with OMSCC with no evidence of OMLP and normal oral mucosa). The expression of the c-erbB-2 protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical staining of the gene product with the avidin-biotin-complex method using both fresh frozen and paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Five of the initial biopsies from patients with OMLP expressed the c-erbB-2 protein and one did not. None of the OMLP cases that subsequently showed evidence of dysplasia expressed the c-erbB-2 protein and of the OMSCC specimens from the patients with OMLP, 2 were negative and 1 expressed c-erbB-2 protein. Within the other group of OMLP specimens 3 (3/26) were negative for c-erbB-2 staining. The specimens from the control groups all expressed the c-erbB-2 protein. The results indicated the probability of the absence of c-erbB-2 staining being an indication of a potential for neoplastic transformation in OMLP with dysplastic changes.
