"[Samples of normal oral epithelium (OE, n=7), focal epithelial hyperplasia (n=9), mild (n=9), moderate (n=8) and severe (n=18) OED were evaluated by immunohistochemistry, the TUNEL method and in situ hybridisation for bcl-2 and bax mRNA. bcl-2 mRNA and protein were markedly decreased in the basal parts of moderate and severe OED compared with the basal layer of OE (P<0.001) and correlated with a 3-4 fold increase in apoptosis and increased proliferation. bax mRNA and protein were not significantly altered in normal, hyperplastic and dysplastic epithelia.].
