Comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa).

ABSTRACT: Comorbidities of hidradenitis suppurativa (acne inversa) were reviewed by extracting original and review publications included in MEDLINE, EMBASE and COCHRANE libraries using the terms "hidradenitis," "Verneuil" and "acne inversa." Follicular occlusion disorders, inflammatory bowel diseases, especially Crohn disease, spondylarthropathy, other hyperergic diseases, genetic keratin disorders associated with follicular occlusion and squamous cell carcinoma were the most common hidradenitis suppurativa comorbid diseases. A first classification of these major comorbidities and their possible genetic background reveals a list of chromosome loci and genes, which could be hidradenitis suppurativa candidates. Most of these diseases belong to the group of autoinflammatory disorders, where th17 cell cytokines seem to play a central role.

Project description:Despite the rapid development in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) research, the immediate introduction of potent therapeutic compounds in clinical trials and the lack of definitive outcome measures have led to the discontinuation of potential therapeutic compound studies. HS is a solely human disease, and therefore, the search for preclinical human models has been given priority. The 3D-SeboSkin model, a co-culture of human skin explants with human SZ95 sebocytes as a feeder layer, has been shown to prevent the rapid degeneration of human skin in culture and has been validated for HS preclinical studies. In this work, the HS 3D-SeboSkin model has been employed to characterize cellular and molecular effects of the EMA- and FDA-approved biologic adalimumab. Adalimumab, a tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitor, was shown to target inflammatory cells present in HS lesions, inducing a prominent anti-inflammatory response and contributing to tissue regeneration through a wound healing mechanism. Adalimumab inhibited the lesional tissue expression of TNF-α, IL-3, IL-15, and MCP-3 and downregulated the secretion of IL-1α, IL-5, RANTES, MCP-2, TNF-α, TNF-β, TGF-β, and IFN-γ. In contrast, IL-6 was stimulated. The compound failed to modify abnormal epithelial cell differentiation present in the HS lesions. Patients with Hurley stage II lesions exhibited stronger expression of autophagy proteins in perilesional than in lesional skin. Adalimumab modified the levels of the pro-apoptotic proteins LC3A, LC3B, and p62 in an individual, patient-dependent manner. Finally, adalimumab did not modify the NFκB signal proteins in SZ95 sebocytes and NHK-19 keratinocytes, used to study this specific pathway. The administration of the validated HS 3D-SeboSkin model in ex vivo studies prior to clinical trials could elucidate the individual pathogenetic targets of therapeutic candidates and, therefore, increase the success rates of clinical studies, minimizing HS drug development costs.

Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS)/acne inversa is a debilitating chronic disease that remains poorly understood and difficult to manage. Clinical practice is variable, and there is a need for international, evidence-based and easily applicable consensus on HS management. We report here the findings of a systematic literature review, which were subsequently used as a basis for the development of international consensus recommendations for the management of patients with HS. A systematic literature review was performed for each of nine clinical questions in HS (defined by an expert steering committee), covering comorbidity assessment, therapy (medical, surgical and combinations) and response to treatment. Included articles underwent data extraction and were graded according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-based Medicine criteria. Evidence-based recommendations were then drafted, refined and voted upon, using a modified Delphi process. Overall, 5310 articles were screened, 171 articles were analysed, and 65 were used to derive recommendations. These articles included six randomized controlled trials plus cohort studies and case series. The highest level of evidence concerned dosing recommendations for topical clindamycin in mild disease (with systemic tetracyclines for more frequent/widespread lesions) and biologic therapy (especially adalimumab) as second-line agents (following conventional therapy failure). Good-quality evidence was available for the hidradenitis suppurativa clinical response (HiSCR) as a dichotomous outcome measure in inflammatory areas under treatment. Lower-level evidence supported recommendations for topical triclosan and oral zinc in mild-to-moderate HS, systemic clindamycin and rifampicin in moderate HS and intravenous ertapenem in selected patients with more severe disease. Intralesional or systemic steroids may also be considered. Local surgical excision is suggested for mild-to-moderate HS, with wide excision for more extensive disease. Despite a paucity of good-quality data on management decisions in HS, this systematic review has enabled the development of robust and easily applicable clinical recommendations for international physicians based on graded evidence.
