7 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease. The aetiology and molecular mechanisms of OLP remain unclear. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is a causal factor in the development of various diseases, but the clinical relevance of HCMV in OLP has not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS: In the present study, we firstly examined twenty-three HCMV-encoded microRNA (miRNA)...
