ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the role of MMP-2, MT1-MMP and TIMP-2 in the carcinogenesis of oral lichen planus (OLP).</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the expression of OLP and compare with that of NOM.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The expression of these proteinases significantly increased from NOM, non-atrophic OLP, to atrophic OLP and OSCC. The expression of MMP-2 and MT1-MMP in atrophic OLP was significantly higher than in non-atrophic OLP. Furthermore, the expression of TIMP-2 consequently increased with the increasing of the MMP, but the increase of TIMP-2 was less than that of MMP.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>MMP may be useful marker to judge the possibility of malignant change of OLP.</p>
