BACKGROUND: Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) in recent times has been recognized as a potentially malignant disorder (PMD) with an increased risk of developing oral squamous cell carcinoma with malignant transformation rates that vary from 0.6% to 36%. Alpha-L-fucosidase (AFU) is a lysosomal enzyme that is involved in maintaining the homeostasis of fucose metabolism. In benign and malignant tumors, the cells modulate their surface by increasing fucosylation leading to uncontrolled growth.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to estimate the levels of salivary and serum AFU in patients with OSMF and healthy controls and also to evaluate the clinical utility of salivary AFU levels over serum.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Saliva and blood samples were collected from twenty participants in both the groups (OSMF and healthy controls). Serum and salivary alpha-L-fucosidase levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The data were subjected to appropriate statistical analysis.
RESULTS: We found a significant increase in alpha-L-fucosidase level in OSMF compared with healthy subjects. Pearson's correlation showed salivary alpha-L-fucosidase level to have superior sensitivity in detecting OSMF compared with serum alpha-L-fucosidase.
CONCLUSION: The outcome of this study suggests that salivary alpha-L-fucosidase can be utilized as a biomarker in early detection of oral precancer and cancer.
