Abstract
Objective

To compare the densities of CD1a + immature and CD83+ mature dendritic cells, and inflammatory infiltrate cells between smokers and non-smokers with oral leukoplakia. Parameters associated with malignant transformation were also evaluated.

Design

21 smokers and 23 non-smokers diagnosed with oral leukoplakia were obtained. Densities of inflammatory infiltrate cells were calculated in H&E sections. Immunohistochemistry using anti-CD1a and anti-CD83 was performed and densities were calculated. Comparisons and statistical analyses were performed among the groups and parameters as gender, lesion size, site, and presence of cell dysplasia were analyzed.

Results

A lower density of CD83+ cells was observed in smokers compared to non-smokers (P < 0.05). For samples of smokers, a lower density of CD1a + cells, CD83+ cells, and inflammatory infiltrate cells was observed in samples with <10 mm compared to samples ≥10 mm of diameter (P < 0.05), and a lower density of CD83+ cells was also observed between samples without dysplasia compared to samples with dysplasia (P < 0.05).

Conclusion

In oral leukoplakia samples, dendritic cell density decreases in the presence of smoking habit, and increases in larger lesions and with epithelial dysplasia. Smoking habit is an external factor that contribute to alteration of the anti-tumoral immune defense system in lesions of oral leucoplakia, reinforcing that smoking elimination is important to control the development of this disease.
