Abstract: Abstract: Objective This study was undertaken to detect variation of CCR6-CCL20 expression in tissue from OLP patients and healthy controls. Methods Real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of CCR6 and CCL20 in oral mucosal tissue and immunohistochemistry was used for the detection and localization of CCR6 and CCL20. Results Tissue from OLP patients had markedly up-regulated levels of CCR6 and CCL20 mRNA compared to healthy tissue (P < 0.001). Moreover, immunohistochemical staining showed that in OLP patients, CCR6 and CCL20 expression was obviously higher than that in the control patients. Conclusion The CCR6CCL20 axis may play a role in the immunological mechanism of OLP. [Key words] oral lichen planus; CCR6; CCL20
