Abstract

To verify whether there are differences between populations of CD8 + and FoxP3 + T cells in lesions of oral lichen planus associated with hepatitis C virus chronic infection (OLP-HCV) and lesions of idiopathic oral lichen planus (OLP-I). A case-control study was performed using a convenience sample of 11 paraffin-embedded tissue blocks of OLP-HCV and 19 of OLP-I. Histological sections stained with haematoxylin and eosin were used to classify the intensity of inflammatory infiltrate. Immunohistochemistry was used to identify CD8 + and FoxP3 + T cells. The count of positive cells was compared between the two groups and correlated to clinical and demographic data (p < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of CD8 + and FoxP3 + T cells regarding the inflammatory infiltrate in lesions of OLP-HCV and OLP-I. Atrophic/erosive lesions showed a higher relationship between counts of CD8/FoxP3 T cells per mm2 (p = 0.018) and counts of CD8 + T cells per mm2 (p = 0.034) in OLP-HCV group compared to OLP-I group. Overall, no difference was found between cell populations in the lesions of OLP-HCV and OLP-I. However, atrophic/erosive lesions of OLP-HCV had a higher amount of CD8 + T cells and lower FoxP3 e...Continue Reading
