Interleukin‐6 and neopterin levels in the serum and saliva of patients with Lichen Planus and oral Lichen Planus

Abstract: Serum levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and neopterin are increased in lichen planus as well as the salivary concentrations of IL-6. The differences observed in IL-6 levels in patients with erosive-atrophic forms of oral lichen planus may indicate a substantial role played by the cytokine in the disease.

“…Several studies have shown that the cytokine profile in saliva, lesions, and serum of patients with OLP differs from that seen in healthy individuals (Dan et al, ; de Brito Monteiro et al, ; Kaur & Jacobs, ; Kondo & Urisu, ; Liu et al, ; Lu et al, ; Malekzadeh et al, ; Pekiner et al, ; Piccinni et al, ; Simark‐Mattsson et al, ; Wang et al, ; Zhou et al, ). In this study, we found that the serum levels of IL‐6 were higher in the patients than in the healthy control subjects and in accordance with previous findings that also found an association between levels of IL‐6 and the stages of OLP (Abdel‐Haq et al, ; Kaur & Jacobs, ). In our study, the majority of patients (15 out of 19) had erosive or ulcerative OLP lesions at the time of examination.…”

“…Plasma cytokines were not concurrently measured. Similar explorations of salivary cytokines with systemic diseases have been reported individually including: inflammatory bowel diseases [42]; pediatric type 1 diabetes [43]; obesity-related sleep apnea [44]; and cutaneous lichen planus [45]. Cytokines elevations were found for IL-8 among 90 salivary proteins after total body irradiation [46], similarly anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10, rose in saliva of airway-disease patients when exposed to thermal sulfur water bath therapy [47].…”

“…In a survey of the salivary-cytokine literature, we find that the majority involve local conditions arising close to the salivary glands, such as oral inflammation [30,31] or head neck or oral, cancer [32,33]. Our observed dissociation of the cytokine response between the circulating pattern and that in the saliva, moreover, is neither unprecedented nor implausible.…”

“…Due to the fact that saliva can be collected in an easy and noninvasive way, it seems to be a very attractive diagnostic material [34]. Proinflammatory cytokines have also been investigated in saliva as potential biomarkers of OPMDs and OSCC, and the current results are encouraging [24,[35][36][37].…”
