    Notes: There is accumulating evidence that the expression of certain adhesion molecules has important consequences for understanding patterns of evil movement in normal and pathologically altered skin. This paper reviews recent work regarding the role of integrins and other adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, YCAM-1, PKCAM-1, PECAM-1, and ELAM-1) in cutaneous inflammation and neoplasia, and presents a unifying hypothesis which outlines how sequential expression of cytokines and adhesion molecules in evolving inflammation may alter the nature of the cellular response.

    Notes: Langerhans cells (LC) serve as antigen presenting cells and provide immune surveillance within epithelia. Since depression of LC number and/or function may allow tolerance to antigens, we evaluated LC in median rhomboid glossitis (MRG), a condition linked to persistent candidal infection of lingual mucosa. Material included a total of 36 cases of MRG (7 of which did not show PAS+fungi) and 6 controls. LC were identified by their expression of S-100 and HLA-DR antigens and quantified using image analysis. Equal numbers of LC were identified using S-100+ and HLA-DR+ markers. The density of LC (cells/mm of basement membrane, mean±SD) in both PAS+ MRG (2.6±1.3) and PAS-MRG (3.0±1.7) was markedly depressed compared with controls (17.2±6.4), (P 〈 0.001). These findings indicate that the LC network is perturbed in MRG, and are consistent with the view that of localized defect in immune surveillance may contribute to persistent fungal infection of the oral mucosa.

    Notes: Previous studies of chronic dermatoses have suggested that expression of the CD54 cell surface antigen (intercellular adhesion molecule-1, ICAM-1) by keratinocytes is a feature of chronic inflammation. However, whether such expression is a prerequisite for intraepithelial migration of lymphocytes is unclear. The present study evaluated the expression of CD54 and its ligand, CD1 la (lymphocyte function-associated antigen, LFA-1) in oral lesions of lichen planus, recurrent aphthous stomatitis, secondary Sjögren's syndrome and traumatic ulceration using an immunoperoxidase technique. In 33 of 56 lesions examined, substantial numbers of CD1 la + cells were present within oral mucosal epithelium despite an absence of detectable keratinocyte CD54 antigen expression. Consequently, CD54/CD1 la adhesion interactions may not be critical in the initiation of oral mucosal inflammation.

    Notes: Current evidence for the involvement of cell-mediated immunological mechanisms in the pathogenesis of oral lichen planus is reviewed. Both a spatial and temporal relationship between cytotoxic T Lymphocytes and epithelial damage have been reported. Although keratinocytes appear to be the target for destruction in oral lichen planus, their role in antigen presentation is unclear. We propose that in oral lichen planus patients, diverse exogenous agents such as drugs, trauma and infection, stimulate the expression of a common self molecule by oral mucosal keratinocytes. An autoimmune reaction by cytotoxic T lymphocytes to these activated keratinocytes may result in the tissue destruction which is characteristic of oral lichen planus.
