The expression of tenascin was assessed immunohistochemically. In normal oral mucosa, immunoreactivity for tenascin was seen either as a delicate line underlining the epithelium or in the stromal papillae. In oral lichen planus, a marked enhancement of tenascin immunoreactivity in the lamina propria was associated with focal infiltrates of inflammatory cells and seemed to reflect the intensity of inflammation. In lichenoid reactions in which only a sparse inflammatory infiltrate was present a band-like tenascin reactivity was seen. Oral psoriform reactions and chronic hyperplastic candidosis showed a prominent tenascin reaction in the connective tissue papillae among infiltrates of inflammatory cells. The results show that tenascin content is increased in oral mucocutaneous diseases and related lesions and that the abundance of tenascin reflects the intensity of the inflammatory reaction.
