Abstract
Objective: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammatory disease classified as an oral potentially malignant lesion. The erosive and reticular forms of OLP have the potential for malignant transformation, with no consistent data indicating that one form is more likely to undergo malignant transformation than the other. Tumour mutational burden (TMB) is a parameter that represents the number of somatic mutations in the DNA of neoplastic cells. This study aimed to compare TMB levels in the two primary clinical forms of OLP, the erosive and reticular sub-types.
Methods: Next-generation sequencing of samples from 18 patients with OLP, including nine of each clinical form, was performed using the QIAseq Targeted DNA Human TMB Panel.
Results: Eight (44.4%) of the samples had a TMB ≤ 10 mutations/Mb, while 10 (55.6%) had a TMB of zero. No significant difference was observed between the erosive and reticular forms of OLP. A maximum of two somatic variations per sample was identified, involving genes associated with immune response (PTPRD, PSMA6 and CD274) and tumour suppression (PALB2, ATRX and BRCA2).
Conclusion: Although these data suggest that genetic mutational events occur similarly in erosive and reticular OLP, further molecular studies are required to confirm the findings.
期刊介绍:
Oral Diseases is a multidisciplinary and international journal with a focus on head and neck disorders, edited by leaders in the field, Professor Giovanni Lodi (Editor-in-Chief, Milan, Italy), Professor Stefano Petti (Deputy Editor, Rome, Italy) and Associate Professor Gulshan Sunavala-Dossabhoy (Deputy Editor, Shreveport, LA, USA). The journal is pre-eminent in oral medicine. Oral Diseases specifically strives to link often-isolated areas of dentistry and medicine through broad-based scholarship that includes well-designed and controlled clinical research, analytical epidemiology, and the translation of basic science in pre-clinical studies. The journal typically publishes articles relevant to many related medical specialties including especially dermatology, gastroenterology, hematology, immunology, infectious diseases, neuropsychiatry, oncology and otolaryngology. The essential requirement is that all submitted research is hypothesis-driven, with significant positive and negative results both welcomed. Equal publication emphasis is placed on etiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
