Correlation of IRAK1 and TRAF6 expression with inflammatory response and immune response in oral lichen planus lesions

摘要

Objective: To study the correlation of IRAK1 and TRAF6 expression with inflammatory response and immune response in oral lichen planus lesions. Methods: Patients who were diagnosed with oral lichen planus in Ziyang First People''s Hospital between June 2014 and February 2017 were selected as the OLP group of the study, and the oral lichen planus lesions were collected;42 patients who accepted surgery for oral trauma or maxillofacial plastic surgery were selected as the control group of the study, and the normal oral mucosa tissue was collected. The expression of IRAK1, TRAF6 and TLR4 signaling pathway molecules, Th1/Th2/Treg/Th17 transcription factors and cytokines in tissue samples were detected. Results:IRAK1, TRAF6, TLR4, MyD88 and NF-kB mRNA expression and protein expression in oral lichen planus lesions of OLP patients were significantly lower than those of control group, T-bet and IFN-γ levels were significantly lower than those of control group, and GATA3, FOXP3, RORγt, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-17 levels were significantly higher than those of control group;IRAK1 and TRAF6 expression in oral mucosa tissue were positively correlated with TLR4, MyD88 and NF-kB expression as well as T-bet and IFN-γ levels, and were negatively correlated with GATA3, FOXP3, RORγt, IL-4, IL-10 and IL-17 levels. Conclusion: IRAK1 and TRAF6 expression in oral lichen planus lesions can inhibit the TLR4 inflammatory response pathway and lead to Th1/Th2 /Treg/Th17 immune response disorder.
