Abstract:
Objective To investigate the possible role and significance of soluble programmed death-1 (sPD-1)/soluble programmed death ligand 1 (sPD-L1) in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus(OLP).Methods Thirty-six patients with OLP(20 cases of reticular OLP and 16 cases of erosive OLP) were enrolled in this study,and 18 healthy people served as controls.Lymphocyte subsets(CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD19+,CD16++56+) were examined by flow cytometric analysis and humoral immunity indexes(IgG,IgA,IgM,C3,C4) tested by nephelometry immunoassay.The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 proteins in serum of patients with OLP were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The correlations between the level of sPD-1,sPD-L1 proteins and the immune status and clinical characteristics of patients with OLP were analyzed by SPSS 19.0.Results CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD16++56+ in patients with OLP were decreased compared with the normal value,while CD19+ in patients with OLP was increased compared with the normal value(P＜0.05).C3 and C4 in patients with OLP were decreased compared with the normal value,but IgM in patients with OLP was increased(P＜0.05).The levels of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 proteins in patients with OLP were significantly higher than that in control group[26.10(8.81,40.00) ng/L vs 17.65(0.00,26.10) ng/L,29.53 (21.47,36.76) ng/L vs 22.79(1.19,28.29) ng/L](P＜0.05),but the expression of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 was not related with clinical characteristics of OLP.There were negative correlations between the levels of sPD-1 protein and CD4+T cells or CD 16++56+ cells(r1=-0.378,P1=0.007;r2=-0.365,P2=0.009),while there was a positive correlation between the levels of sPD-1 and CD19+B cells(r=0.482,P=0.000).There was a negative correlation between sPD-L1 expression level and CD4 + and a positive correlation between sPD-L1 expression level and IgG(r1=-0.286,P1=0.044;r2=0.365,P2=0.029).Conclusions In patients with OLP,the cellular immune function is low with humoral immunity function disorder.PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway,which might be influenced by the involvement of sPD-1 and sPD-L1 proteins in a certain extent,may play an important role in the immune pathogenesis of OLP.
