Abstract: Abstract:Objective:To explore the role of CCL25/CCR9 in pathogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP). Methods: The expression of CCL25 in plasma and CCR9 of peripheral blood T cell of OLP were detected by qRT-PCR, WES and ELISA. Cultured T lymphocytes in vitro,the effects of CCL25/CCR9 on T cell migration, proliferation and apoptosis were detected by Transwell assay, CCK8 and flowcytometry. Results:The expression of peripheral blood T cell CCR9, CCL25 mRNA and CCL25 protein in plasma of OLP were decreased compared with those of the control group (P<0.01). CCL25 induces T cell to migrate, and the chemotactic index (CI) of OLP is lower than that of the control group (P<0.01). CI reduced significantly after blocked by anti-CCR9 mAb(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the proliferation of T cell in peripheral blood of OLP was increased and the apoptosis was decreased, but they were not associated with the addition of CCL25 or anti-CCR9 mAb. Conclusions: CCL25 and CCR9 were lowly expressed in peripheral blood of OLP and their interaction can mediate T cell migrating. CCL25/CCR9 may be involved in recruitment of inflammatory cells during the pathogenesis of OLP.
