PG - 2011-5 LID - 10.1007/s00784-013-0920-8 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to assess whether C1772T and G1790A hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1)alpha polymorphisms are associated with risk of oral lichen planus (OLP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used to investigate HIF-1alpha C1779T and G1790A polymorphisms in 32 OLP and 88 individuals without OLP. RESULTS: The frequency of the CC, TT, GA, and AA genotypes was higher in patients with OLP. Notably, individuals carrying the C and A, and T and A haplotypes showed a significant association OLP risk. CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrated that the C1772T and G1790A polymorphisms of HIF-1alpha gene increased the risk of OLP. C1772T and G1790A polymorphisms of HIF-1alpha gene had differing patterns of allelic imbalance in the normal samples and subsequent chronic lesions. Further studies are necessary to elucidate the HIF-1alpha pathway in OLP, which would facilitate the development of novel therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of OLP. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: These results, in conjunction with previous studies, suggest that HIF-1alpha may play important roles in the chronicity of oral mucosa lesions of OLP patients. Taken together, we suggest that HIF-1alpha polymorphisms enhance its target genes, thereby altering the microenvironment and supporting sequential release of inflammatory mediators or cellular events in OLP. It appears unlikely that inhibition of a single proinflammatory mediator will prove useful in clinical practice, but several ways to reprogram mediators engaged in a wide array of roles simultaneously are encouraging.
