Resumo

Oral lichenoid lesions related to amalgam (OLLRA) and oral lichen planus (OLP) share clinical and histopathologic features with molecular pathogenesis under clarification. Objective Here investigated loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in OLLRA, OLP and normal oral mucosa (NOM) using polymorphic microsatellite markers close to tumor suppressor genes and evaluated the index of cell proliferation in paraffin-embedded tissues. Study Design The sample comprised 10 OLLRAs, 10 OLPs and 8 NOMs matched by gender and age of the patient. LOH was assessed on 9p (D9S157, D9S162, D9S171), 11q (D11S1369) and 17p (TP53, AFM238WF2) chromosomes loci. The cell proliferation was assessed by immunohistochemical expression of Ki-67 (MIB-1). Results LOH was identified in 5 OLLRAs and in 2 OLPs in at least 1 marker while NOM showed no LOH. The index of Ki-67 expression in OLLRA was considered low (below 25%). There was no association between cell proliferation and LOH. Conclusions This study demonstrates that OLLRA and OLP have LOH in the 9p and 17p chromosomal regions and low expression of ki-67. Despite the lack of association between LOH and cell proliferation, it can be assumed that LOH occurs in OLLRA and it should be considered in the pathogenesis of this lesion.
