Abstract (2. Language):
Background: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a common autoimmune inflammatory disorder that is difficult to cure, and
its pathogenesis is still unknown. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II transactivator (CIITA) gene
has been reported to be an important candidate in some classical autoimmune diseases, and certain single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) in CIITA gene have been confirmed to be associated with susceptibility to some autoimmune
diseases. This research was conducted to investigate the existence of any correlation between OLP and SNPs (rs4774,
rs6498122) in CIITA gene separately and in combination method by using (buccal swabs and blood sample), and to
compare their existence with that of apparently healthy group. The validity of DNA extraction method from buccal
swabs as convenient, painless, less risk of diseases transition and cost-effective alternatives way to blood sampling
for participants and researchers was also assessed in this study. Materials and Methods: A case-control study was
performed to genotype detection of 2 SNPs in the CIITA gene from buccal swab and blood sample from OLP patients
as patient group, and buccal swab and blood sample from healthy people as control group; this was carried out by
qRT-PCR. Results: The SNP rs4774 variant in exon 11 (G/C, Gly500Ala) of CIITA gene is significantly associated with
OLP in heterozygous frequency, SNP rs6498122 variant in intron 5 (A/G) of CIITA gene is significantly associated
with OLP in mutant frequency, and at allele frequency the two SNPs is significant. When the two SNPs analyzed in
genotypes combination method for SNPs (rs4774, rs6498122) between healthy and OLP patient groups, significant
result was shown when the rs4774/rs6498122 be wild/mutant and hetero/hetero. Also, the result of DNA extraction for
SNPs analyses of buccal swab is the same of blood sample. Conclusion: Data was shown that the two SNPs rs4774
and rs6498122 at CIITA gene are associated with OLP and could also indicate the autoimmune characteristics of
OLP. Buccal swab instead of blood sample in SNPs genetic research can be used.
