Abstract | Background: This study evaluated the effect of mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, and pimecrolimus on the expression of cdk4 and p16, important proteins implicated in hyperproliferation and arrest in the G1 phase, in oral lichen planus (OLP). Materials and methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 60 patients were randomly assigned in three equal groups to receive either pimecrolimus cream, or mycophenolate mofetil or methotrexate, both supplemented with pimecrolimus. Pretreatment and post-treatment specimens were immunohistochemically stained for detecting cdk4 and p16. Results: A significant decrease in cdk4 cytoplasmic positivity was noted in all three treatment groups and was especially more significant in the MTX group ( Conclusion: By decreasing the expression of cdk4 and p16, pimecrolimus, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil decrease the malignant potential of OLP lesions. However, methorexate can be a better alternative in cases showing high cdk4 expression. |
