The supernatant solution of the transport medium was studied for leached out senescent associated secretory proteins (SASP): matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP9), interleukins 6 (IL6), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Tissues were studied for malignant transformation with p53 and Ki67. Fibrosis in the OSMF was tested with lysyloxidase (LOX).

Antibody assay using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) showed elevated levels of secretoproteins IL6, MMP9, VEGF in OSMF cases. LOX enzyme levels were also significantly increased in OSMF cases. Proliferative markers Ki67 and p53 were positive in IHC staining in the epithelium of OSMF.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study confirms the presence of SF and its secreto phenotypes in OSMF and showed increased LOX expression which is implicated in fibrosis.
