ABSTRACT
Cell mediated immunity is currently thought to be involved in the
pathogenesis of oral mucosal lichen planus (OMLP). However, literature
reveals there is no large scale data of immunohistochemistry (IHC) study on these
immune cell populations. The aim of this study was to assess and compare immune
cell surface identification markers CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 and CD83 between the OMLP (n=40)
and non-specific inflammatory lesions (as control group) (n=10) qualitatively
and quantitatively. Kruskal-Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests have been used to
make comparison between the test and control group, p values of less than 0.05
was considered to be statistically significant. T cell surface markers (CD3+, CD4+
and CD8+),
B cells (CD19+)
and mature dendritic cells (CD83+) showed intense immunostaining in OMLP tissues
with a significantly higher expression of positive cells than in the control
group (p<0.05). CD3, CD4
and CD8+ve
T cells were the predominant inflammatory cell type in OMLP rather than CD19+
B cells, supporting the role of Th1 cells in the pathogenesis of OMLP. CD83+
mature dendritic cells were present in the least number and were mostly
localized to areas where there were aggregates of lymphocyte. There was a
positive correlation and direct relationship between T and B lymphocyte subsets
whereby as one subset increased, the other follows.

ABSTRAK
Imuniti selular telah diketahui umum terlibat dalam patogenesis lichen planus (OMLP).
Walau bagaimanapun, sehingga kini tiada kajian imunohistokimia yang
membentangkan pangkalan data secara besar mengenai populasi sel-sel imun di
dalam OMLP.
Matlamat kajian ini adalah untuk menganalisis dan membandingkan identiti
permukaaan sel imun CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 dan CD83 antara OMLP (n=40)
dan kumpulan dengan inflamasi tidak spesifik sebagai kawalan (n=10) secara kuantitatif
dan kualitatif. Ujian statistik Kruskal-Wallis dan Mann Whitney U telah
digunakan untuk membuat perbandingan antara kumpulan kajian dan kumpulan
kawalan, nilai p yang kurang daripada 0.05 dianggap nilai statistik yang
signifikan. Kami mendapati sel yang mempunyai identiti permukaan sel T (CD3+, CD4+
dan CD8+),
sel B (CD19+)
dan sel dendritik yang matang (CD83+) menunjukkan intensiti ‘immunostaining’
yang kuat di dalam tisu OMLP iaitu sel yang menunjukkan ekspresi
positif berbanding dengan kumpulan kawalan (p<0.05). Sel T yang positif dengan identiti permukaan CD3, CD4
and CD8
adalah sel inflamasi utama di dalam OMLP berbanding dengan sel B dengan identiti
permukaan CD19+
. Ini menguatkan lagi teori bahawa
sel Th1 amat penting dalam patogenesis OMLP. Sel dendritik matang CD83+ hadir dalam jumlah
yang kecil dan kebanyakannya tertumpu di kawasan sel limfosit bergumpalan.
Terdapat kolerasi positif dan hubungan terus antara subset sel-sel limfosit T
dan B, jika satu subset bertambah maka subset yang lain juga turut bertambah.
