This study aims to investigate the expression changes of periostin (PN or OSF-2) in oral leukoplakia (OLK) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), and analyze its significance in the development of OSCC.
Study Design:
The expression of periostin was detected from tissue specimens and serum obtained from normal mucosa, OLK and OSCC by immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
Results:
Periostin was significantly overexpressed in OLK and OSCC, when compared with normal controls (p < 0.05). Furthermore, the overexpression of periostin was positively correlated with TNM stage, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis (p < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The overexpression of periostin may be involved in the carcinogenesis process of OLK, which may be used as a marker for detecting OLK. In addition, periostin serum levels can be used as a potential indicator of invasion and a prognosis target for OSCC.
