Intradermal injection of Hsp60 induces cytokine responses in canine atopic and healthy skin.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate the immunoregulatory potential of Hsp60 in the skin of dogs with atopic dermatitis. Three dogs with chronic atopic dermatitis and four healthy dogs were injected intradermally with Hsp60 and phosphate-buffered saline. Biopsies were taken before testing from non-injected control skin, lesional and non-lesional atopic skin, and 48 and 72 h after injection. Analysis of cytokine messenger RNA was performed using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Forty-eight hours after Hsp60 injection, a rise in interleukin (IL)-10 was found (P = 0.034) with the highest expression levels in non-lesional atopic and control skin. A rise of transforming growth factor beta (P = 0.015) and IL-12p40 (P = 0.017) was noticed 72 h after Hsp60 injection in control skin. No significant differences were observed for the expression of IL-4, IL-12p35, and interferon gamma. The results indicate that Hsp60 is able to induce cytokines of a regulatory and Th1 phenotype in the skin. Furthermore, this study seems to provide a first indication of deficient Hsp60 response in atopic dermatitis affected skin.

A single intradermal injection of IFN-? induces an inflammatory state in both non-lesional psoriatic and healthy skin.

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. As IFN-? is involved in many cellular processes, including activation of dendritic cells (DCs), antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion and trafficking, and cytokine and chemokine production, IFN-?-producing Th1 cells were proposed to be integral to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recently, IFN-? was shown to enhance IL-23 and IL-1 production by DCs and subsequently induce Th17 cells, which are important contributors to the inflammatory cascade in psoriatic lesions. To determine whether IFN-? indeed induces the pathways expressed in psoriatic lesions, a single intradermal injection of IFN-? was administered to an area of clinically normal, non-lesional (NL) skin of psoriasis patients and biopsies were collected 24 hours later. Although there were no visible changes in the skin, IFN-? induced many molecular and histological features characteristic of psoriatic lesions. IFN-? increased a number of differentially expressed genes in the skin, including many chemokines concomitant with an influx of T cells and inflammatory DCs. Furthermore, inflammatory DC products tumor necrosis factor (TNF), inducible nitric oxide synthase, IL-23, and TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand were present in IFN-?-treated skin. Thus, IFN-?, which is significantly elevated in NL skin compared with healthy skin, appears to be a key pathogenic cytokine that can induce many features of the inflammatory cascade of psoriasis.

A single intradermal injection of IFN-γ induces a psoriasis-like state in both non-lesional psoriatic and healthy skin

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease. As IFN-γ is involved in many cellular processes, including activation of T cells and dendritic cells (DCs), antigen processing and presentation, cell adhesion and trafficking, and cytokine and chemokine production, IFN-γ-producing Th1 cells were proposed to be integral to the pathogenesis of psoriasis. Recently, IFN-γ was shown to enhance IL-23 and IL-1 production by DCs and subsequently induce Th17 cells, important contributors to the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis lesions. To determine if IFN-γ indeed induces the pathways leading to the development of psoriasis lesions, a single intradermal injection of IFN-γ was administered to an area of clinically normal, non-lesional skin of psoriasis patients and biopsies were collected 24 hours later. Although there were no visible changes in the skin, IFN-γ induced molecular and histological features characteristic of psoriasis lesions. IFN-γ increased a number of differentially expressed genes in the skin, including many chemokines concomitant with an influx of T cells and inflammatory DCs. Furthermore, inflammatory DC products TNF, iNOS, IL-23, and TRAIL were present in IFN-γ-treated skin. Thus, IFN-γ, which is significantly elevated in non-lesional skin compared to healthy skin, appears to be a key pathogenic cytokine that can induce the inflammatory cascade in psoriasis.

A single intradermal injection of IFN-gamma induces a psoriasis-like state in both non-lesional psoriatic and healthy skin

Project description:Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disease.

Host responses in human skin after conventional intradermal injection or microneedle administration of virus-like-particle influenza vaccine.

Project description:Miniaturized microneedle devices are being developed for painlessly targeting vaccines to the immune cell populations in skin. As skin immunization studies are generally restricted to animal models however, where skin architecture and immunity is greatly different to human, surprisingly little is known about the local human response to intradermal (ID) vaccines. Here surgically excised human skin is used to explore for the first time the complex molecular and cellular host responses to a candidate influenza vaccine comprising nanoparticulate virus-like-particles (VLPs), administered via conventional hypodermic injection or reduced scale microneedles. Responses at the molecular level are determined by microarray analysis (47,296 discrete transcripts) and validated by quantitative PCR (96 genes). Cellular response is probed through monitoring migration of dendritic cells in viable skin tissue. Gene expression mapping, ontological analysis, and qPCR reveal up-regulation of a host of genes responsible for key immunomodulatory processes and host viral response, including cell recruitment, activation, migration, and T cell interaction following both ID and microneedle injection of VLPs; the response from the microneedles being more subtle. Significant morphological and migratory changes to skin dendritic cells are also apparent following microneedle VLP delivery. This is the first study displaying the global, multifaceted immunological events that occur at the site of vaccine deposition in human skin and will subsequently influence the degree and nature of innate and adaptive immune responses. An increased understanding of the detailed similarities and differences in response against antigen administered via different delivery modalities will inform the development of improved vaccines and vaccine delivery systems.

Mechanisms of innate events during skin reaction following intradermal injection of seasonal influenza vaccine

Project description:The skin plays a crucial role in host defences against microbial attack and the innate cells must provide the immune system with sufficient information to organize these defences. This unique feature makes the skin a promising site for vaccine administration. Although cellular innate immune events during vaccination have been widely studied, initial events remain poorly understood. Our aim is to determine molecular biomarkers of skin innate reaction after intradermal (i.d.) immunization. Using an ex vivo human explant model from healthy donors, we investigated by NanoLC-MS/MS analysis and MALDI-MSI imaging, to detect innate molecular events (lipids, metabolites, proteins) few hours after i.d. administration of seasonal trivalent influenza vaccine (TIV). This multimodel approach allowed to identify early molecules differentially expressed in dermal and epidermal layers at 4 and 18 h after TIV immunization compared with control PBS. In the dermis, the most relevant network of proteins upregulated were related to cell-to-cell signaling and cell trafficking. The molecular signatures detected were associated with chemokines such as CXCL8, a chemoattractant of neutrophils. In the epidermis, the most relevant networks were associated with activation of antigen-presenting cells and related to CXCL10. Our study proposes a novel step-forward approach to identify biomarkers of skin innate reaction.

A study on periostin involvement in the pathophysiology of canine atopic skin.

Project description:Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic, pruritic, and allergic skin disease in humans and animals, particularly dogs. Canine AD (cAD) has received attention as a spontaneous atopic animal model because domesticated dogs inhabit a human environment, and cAD shares several clinicopathological features with human AD (hAD). In hAD, periostin (PO) is suggested to play a critical role in the enhancement and chronicity of allergic skin inflammation; however, PO involvement in the pathogenesis of cAD is unknown. Here we aimed to clarify PO involvement in the pathophysiology of cAD and focused on the inducing factor and function of PO in canine atopic skin. Using double-labeled in situ hybridization (ISH), interleukin (IL)-13 mRNA-positive cells were detected near the keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts expressing PO mRNA in atopic skin. Using an in vitro assay, IL-13 induced PO gene expression in both canine dermal fibroblasts and keratinocytes. PO enhanced in vitro growth of canine keratinocytes. Moreover, among PO-induced genes in cultured canine keratinocytes detected using a microarray, we identified IL-25 as a possible mediator in canine atopic skin. In addition, real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis revealed upregulation of IL-25 gene expression in PO-stimulated keratinocytes. These data suggest that IL-13 possibly derived from T helper 2 (Th2) cells stimulates PO production in both keratinocytes and fibroblasts, and then PO may play a critical role in the pathophysiology of cAD, particularly in the enhancement and chronicity of skin lesions via IL-25.

Coal tar induces AHR-dependent skin barrier repair in atopic dermatitis.

Project description:Topical application of coal tar is one of the oldest therapies for atopic dermatitis (AD), a T helper 2 (Th2) lymphocyte-mediated skin disease associated with loss-of-function mutations in the skin barrier gene, filaggrin (FLG). Despite its longstanding clinical use and efficacy, the molecular mechanism of coal tar therapy is unknown. Using organotypic skin models with primary keratinocytes from AD patients and controls, we found that coal tar activated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), resulting in induction of epidermal differentiation. AHR knockdown by siRNA completely abrogated this effect. Coal tar restored filaggrin expression in FLG-haploinsufficient keratinocytes to wild-type levels, and counteracted Th2 cytokine-mediated downregulation of skin barrier proteins. In AD patients, coal tar completely restored expression of major skin barrier proteins, including filaggrin. Using organotypic skin models stimulated with Th2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13, we found coal tar to diminish spongiosis, apoptosis, and CCL26 expression, all AD hallmarks. Coal tar interfered with Th2 cytokine signaling via dephosphorylation of STAT6, most likely due to AHR-regulated activation of the NRF2 antioxidative stress pathway. The therapeutic effect of AHR activation herein described opens a new avenue to reconsider AHR as a pharmacological target and could lead to the development of mechanism-based drugs for AD.

Human skin dendritic cells can be targeted in situ by intradermal injection of antibodies against lectin receptors.

Project description:Skin dendritic cells (DC) express C-type lectin receptors for the recognition of pathogens. Langerhans cells (LC) express the receptor Langerin/CD207, whereas DEC-205/CD205 is mainly expressed by dermal DC, but can also be detected at low levels on LC. In this study, we tested an ex vivo approach for targeting DC in situ with monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against Langerin and DEC-205. The targeting mAb was injected intradermally into human skin biopsies or added to the medium during skin explant culture. Corresponding to the expression patterns of these lectin receptors on skin DC, Langerin mAb was detected merely in LC in the epidermis and DEC-205 mainly in dermal DC in human skin explants, regardless of the application route. Migratory skin DC bound and carried targeting mAb from skin explants according to their lectin receptor expression profiles. In contrast to the very selective transport of Langerin mAb by LC, DEC-205 mAb was more widely distributed on all CD1a(+) skin DC subsets but almost absent in CD14(+) dermal DC. As effective vaccination requires the addition of adjuvant, we co-administered the toll-like receptor (TLR)-3 ligand poly I:C with the mAb. This adjuvant enhanced binding of DEC-205 mAb to all skin DC subsets, whereas Langerin targeting efficacy remained unchanged. Our findings demonstrate that LC can be preferentially targeted by Langerin mAb. In contrast, DEC-205 mAb can be bound by all CD1a(+) skin DC subsets. The efficacy of DEC-205 mAb targeting strategy can be boosted by addition of poly I:C underlining the potential of this combination for immunotherapeutical interventions.

Intradermal injection of low dose human regulatory T cells inhibits skin inflammation in a humanized mouse model.

Project description:Recent regulatory T cell (Treg) based clinical trials support their therapeutic potential in transplantation and auto-inflammatory diseases. However, large numbers of Treg are needed to accomplish therapeutic efficacy. Local injection at the site of inflammation (targeted delivery) may lower the numbers needed for therapy. We evaluated if local delivery of low numbers of human Treg by intradermal injection was able to prevent skin inflammation, using the humanized mouse huPBL-SCID-huSkin allograft model. A dose of only 1 × 105 freshly isolated, non expanded Treg injected intradermally in close proximity to the transplanted human skin prevented inflammation of the grafted tissue induced by 4 × 107 IP injected human allogeneic PBMCs, (ratio Treg:PBMC = 1:400), as indicated by the inhibition of epidermal thickening, sustained Keratin-10 expression, the absence of Keratin-16 up regulation and prevention of human CD3+ T cell influx. A concomitant reduction of human T cells was observed in lymph nodes and spleen of the mice. Injection of Treg at the contralateral side was also shown to inhibit skin inflammation, suggesting that the inflammatory response was regulated both locally and systemically. In conclusion, local application of Treg may be an attractive way to suppress inflammation in vivo without the need for prior ex vivo expansion.
