PG - 752-757 LID - S0198-8859(17)30494-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.humimm.2017.09.003 [doi] AB - Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) G and E, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1), IL-10 and TGF-beta are proteins involved in failure of the antitumor immune response. We investigated the expression of these immunomodulatory mediators in oral precancerous lesions (oral leukoplakia-OL; n=80) and whether these molecules were related to the risk of malignant transformation. Samples of normal mucosa (n=20) and oral squamous cells carcinoma (OSCC, n=20) were included as controls. Tissue and saliva samples were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and ELISA respectively. Fifteen OL samples showed severe dysplasia (18.7%) and 40 samples (50%) presented combined high Ki-67/p53. Irrespective of the degree of epithelial dysplasia and the proliferation/apoptosis index of OL, the expression of HLA-G, -E, PD-L1, IL-10, TGF-beta2 and -beta3 was higher to control (P<0.05) and similar to OSCC (P>0.05). The number of granzyme B(+) cells in OL was similar to control (P=0.28) and lower compared to OSCC (P<0.01). Salivary concentrations of sHLA-G, IL-10 and TGF-beta did not allow for a distinction between OL and healthy individuals. Overexpression of immunosuppressive mediators in the OL reflects the immune evasion potential of this lesion, which is apparently independent of at cytological and proliferation/apoptosis status.
