Characterization of Oral Melanocytic Nevi in Sun-Exposed and Sun-Protected Regions.
Objective: Oral melanocytic nevi (OMN) are histologically similar to skin nevi; however, they are much rarer and not always related to sun exposure. This study aimed to characterize the histopathological, immunohistochemical, and molecular features of OMN in sun-exposed (vermilion lip) and sun-protected (intraoral) regions.
Method: Cross-sectional study on 14 intraoral and 20 vermilion lip OMN. Hematoxylin-eosin, immunohistochemistry for TRP2 and MiTF, and RT-qPCR for TRP2 and MiTF were used to assess histopathology, protein, and mRNA expression, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed.
Results: Intramucous and blue nevi are the most frequent histological subtypes. Intraoral lesions predominantly affect Brown or Black individuals (64.3%), presenting mostly as macules. Vermilion lip nevi affect White individuals (75%), with elevated lesions (30%). Histologically, intraoral nevi show asymmetric, lack theques formation and floret cells, and present no mitotic activity or pleomorphism, while vermilion nevi display pleomorphism, symmetry, theques formation, floret cells, and solar elastosis. TRP2 and MiTF protein and mRNA expression were upregulated in both groups (p < 0.05), with no differences between them (p > 0.05).
Conclusions: Intraoral and vermilion lip nevi have distinct histopathological features, but similar TRP2 and MiTF protein and mRNA expression. This characterization may aid the histopathological diagnosis of OMN and distinction from other oral pigmentations.
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.
