B Cells Infiltration Potentially Responded Better to Systemic Corticoids in Oral Lichen Planus and Oral Lichenoid Lesions.

Oral lichen planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesion (OLL) are chronic inflammatory diseases involving the oral mucosa. B cells infiltration in OLP and OLL, however, little is known about these cells in OLP and OLL. To analyze the function and infiltrating features of B lymphocytes in OLP and OLL, and to preliminarily evaluate their correlation with clinical outcomes.

TRIM21 promotes inflammation by ubiquitylating NF-κB in T cells of oral lichen planus.

Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a mucocutaneous inflammatory disease affecting 1% general population. Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21) shows a significant role in OLP. This study aimed to explore the function and mechanism of TRIM21 in T cells of OLP.

Group 1 and 3 innate lymphoid cells are increased in oral lichen planus and oral lichenoid lesions.

Objectives: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are vital innate immune cells cooperating with T cells. While their phenotypes and functions in oral mucosa kept unclear yet. In the present study, the relative proportions and distribution of different ILC subsets in oral mucosa of oral lichen planus (OLP), oral lichenoid lesions (OLL), and controls were compared.
