The mRNA and lncRNA profiles of Oral lichen planus (OLP) and Skin lichen planus (SLP)

Oral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic inflammation mucocutaneous disease that are associated with CD8+ T cells. Skin lichen planus (SLP) is another form of lichen planus that is considered a separate disease from OLP. OLP is known to have a higher risk of malignant transformation than SLP. In this study, we aimed to identify the differentially expressed mRNAs and lncRNAs profiles between OLP and SLP by performing RNA sequencing on two different tissue samples from OLP and SLP patients
