Full textBackground: In Europe, occupational skin disease is one of the major causes of work-related diseases, among them occupational contact dermatitis (OCD) accounts for 80% of all cases of OSD reported, but data about sectors and agents at risk remains sparse. Objectives: 1) to study OCD trends in terms of industrial activities and main causal agents, 2) to describe industrial sectors or occupations at risk of OCD. Method: Data were collected from the French National Network of Occupational Disease Surveillance and Prevention (RNV3P) during 2001-2010 period, based on the 32 French Occupational and Environmental Disease Consultation Centres. All allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), irritative contact dermatitis (ICD) and contact urticaria (CU) probably or certainly work-related were included in the study. Trends were examined (i) on annual crude numbers of OCD and (ii) on reported odds-ratios of OCD calculated using logistic regression models. Results: 5990 OCD cases were included and concerned more frequently young age classes among women and older age classes among men. Industrial sectors more commonly involved in OCD concerned in decreasing order: health and social work activities, personal service activities, construction, metal industry, public administrations, other business activities, retail trade and repair of motor vehicles, and hotels and restaurants. According to trend analysis of OCD cases, cosmetics (including soaps and fragrances) and biocides increased significantly in health and social work activities; hairdressing products and cosmetics (mainly soaps) in personal service activities (including primarily hairdressers). In construction sector, ACD due to epoxy resins increased during the study period and concomitantly, ICD attributed to cement did not decrease underlying the lack of prevention in this sector at risk. ACD due to metals increased in other business activities mainly occupied by cleaning staff. We showed a rise of ACD due to isothiazolinone compounds whatever the sector. Besides, we have shown the impact of regulatory measures or prevention campaign on OCD: (i) a significant reduction by almost half in the occurrence of ACD attributed to chromate in cement which coincides with the implementation of the European Cement directive and we obtained similar results to a study based on the UK EPIDERM network; (ii) the effectiveness of latex exposure prevention measures for health care workers since half of 2000s and (iii) the wide use of disinfection with an alcohol-based solution in health and social work activity followed by a significant reduction of ICD due to iterative handwashing with soap. Conclusion: RNV3P data allowed to highlight causal agents involved in sectors most at risk of OCD. These results might help intervention policy in health and safety at work and allergy prevention. They also showed the effectiveness of preventative intervention on OCD, suggesting that RNV3P reporting scheme is useful in France to evaluate intervention policy in health and safety at work

Resumo: Diversos estudos descrevem o perfil clínico-epidemiológico e os resultados dos testes de contato das populações atendidas com suspeitas de dermatite alérgica de contato. Alguns evidenciam a provável relação causal com o trabalho; outros alertam para a necessidade de repetição do teste quando ocorrem múltiplas reações, principalmente nas demandas trabalhistas. O objetivo foi analisar o perfil clínico-epidemiológico e os resultados dos testes de contato dos pacientes com suspeita de dermatite alérgica de contato ocupacional atendidos no Ambulatório de Medicina do Trabalho da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo transversal retrospectivo com pacientes atendidos entre 1 de janeiro de 1999 e 31 de dezembro de 2008, envolvendo as seguintes variáveis: idade, cor, sexo, ocupação, tempo na ocupação, agente referido como sensibilizante, local inicial do eczema, origem do encaminhamento, resultados dos testes de contato e nexo causal. Foram analisados 180 prontuários e os resultados mostraram que o perfil clínicoepidemiológico foi semelhante àqueles referidos na literatura, mas os índices desensibilização foram proporcionalmente maiores: 85% dos pacientes tiveram pelo menos uma reação positiva no primeiro teste de contato, a média de reações positivas por teste foi 3,38 e 68% dos testes positivos apresentaram mais de duas reações positivas. Os elevados índices de sensibilização e a existência simultânea de múltiplas reações na maioria dos pacientes podem ser explicados por condições predisponentes para polissensibilização - dermatite nas mãos cronificadas por repetidas exposições ocupacionais - e/ou pela interpretação de reações irritativas como reações positivas. Foi sugerida, então, uma Ficha de Coleta de Dados, a ser preenchida durante as avaliações clínicas e a repetição dos testes de contato quando ocorrerem mais de 2 reações positivas relevantes a substâncias não correlacionada
Abstract: Several studies describe the clinical and epidemiological profile and the results of patch tests of the targeted population with suspected allergic contact dermatitis. Some evidence the probable causal relationship to work; others warn of the need to repeat tests when multiple reactions occur, especially in the lawsuits. The objetive was to analyze the clinical and epidemiological profile and the results of patch tests of patients with suspected allergic contact dermatitis treated at the Campinas State University's Occupational Medicine Clinic. We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study with patients treated between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2008 involving the following variables: age, race, sex, occupation, time in occupation, sensitizing agent, eczema locus, referral source, results of patch tests and causal relationship. We analyzed 180 medical records and the results show that clinical and epidemiological profile was similar to those reported in the literature, but the rates of awareness were proportionally larger: 85% of patients had at least one positive reaction in the first patch test, the average of positive reactions per test was 3.38 and 68% dos positive tests had more than two positive reactions. High levels of sensitization and the simultaneous existence of multiple reactions in most patients can be explained by predisposing factors to polysensization - cronic dermatitis on the hands caused by repeated occupational exposure - and/or by the interpretation of irritant reactions as positive reactions. It has been suggested then a sheet data collection to use in the clinic evaluation that includes the repetition of tests when more than 2 relevant positive reactions occurred to substances not correlated

Full textThe aim of the study: To evaluate contact sensitization and its associated factors in patients with dermatitis. The objectives of the study: 1. To determine the frequency of sensitization to contact allergens in patients with dermatitis. 2. To evaluate associations between the frequency of sensitization to contact allergens and age, sex and occupation in patients with dermatitis. 3. To determine clinical features of contact sensitization. 4. To evaluate associations between sensitization to contact allergens and atopic dermatitis, chronic leg ulcers and other factors. CONCLUSIONS 1.Half of the patients with dermatitis were sensitized to contact allergens, most frequently to metal nickel (17.1%). From the fragrances, bal¬sam of Peru was the most frequent contact allergen (8%). Rare allergens that should not be included in the baseline series are the substances present in the composition of rubber – mercaptobenzothiazole and N-isopropyl-N'-phenyl-p-phenylene diamine (IPPD). 2.Patients under 40 years of age are two times more frequently sensitized than the older ones. In women contact allergy is twice as more frequent as in men. Agricultural and forestry workers are sensitized to contact allergens three times as more often as other employees. What regards individual allergens, among patients under 40 years of age sensitization to nickel, cobalt and quaternium-15 is more prevalent than in the older ones. Among patients who are 40 years of age and over contact sensitization to... [to full text]

Full textAllergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to nickel (Ni+2) is a inflammatory dermatosis, common in industrialized countries. It involves the activation of nickel-specific T cells, followed by the proliferation and induction of a mixed profile of both proinflammatory and regulatory cytokines, suggesting that several T cell subtypes (helper - Th and cytotoxic - Tc) are involved in the immune response. This study aimed to analyze the cytokines TNF-alfa, INF-y, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-13, IL-17 and IL-23 using the immunohistochemistry technique in order to try to identify the prevalence of one or more T cell subtypes (Th/Tc) in the chronic and acute eczema of patients with ACD to Ni+2. We evaluated 20 patients (17 women and 3 men, median age of 46 years) with chronic eczema, by the patient\'s daily contact with Ni+2. Two skin biopsies were collected in each of the 20 patients, the first at the site of the chronic eczema to Ni+2, prior to the application of the contact test (CT); and the second at the site of acute eczema caused by CT with nickel sulphate, 48 hours after its fixation in the strong positive (++) or very strong positive (+++) readings. There were 160 samples of acute eczema and 160 of chronic eczema, a total of 320 samples. Only three samples were excluded due to some kind of technical failure, such as detachment of the skin cuts from the microscope slide. Statistical software STATA version 13 was used to analyze the data. The stained samples showed positive results for the eight cytokines studied, and these presented heterogeneous values. This heterogeneity was measured by the coefficient of variation, indicating the variability of the data set obtained. TNF-alfa, IFN-y, IL-4, IL-13 and IL-17 had a higher prevalence in chronic eczema than in acute eczema, IL-2 and IL-23 were more prevalent in acute eczema compared to chronic eczema and IL-10 presented similar prevalence in both acute and chronic eczema, however, a very low prevalence in both eczema. TNF-alfa was the most prevalent cytokine in chronic eczema and IL-2 was the most prevalent in acute eczema. However, these prevalences were statistically significant only for IL-4 and IL-13. In chronic and acute eczema, we observed the presence of a mixed cytokine profile of the T cell subtypes (Th/Tc), suggesting that immune responses are expressed at the same time. However, further studies are needed for a broader understanding of the cytokine profile in ACD to Ni+2, which could lead to new therapeutic approaches

Abstract: Introduction: Chronic leg ulcers are very prevalent and the local treatment is done through the use of specific dressings and other topical products. The use of these can cause allergic contact dermatitis, increasing disease-related morbidity and delayed healing. Objective: To identify the frequency and the main allergenic substances related to contact dermatitis in patients with chronic leg ulcers. Methodology: Observational study, with transversal design, performed with 64 patients diagnosed with active or healed chronic leg ulcers regardless of etiology were included. Patch tests were performed with all the patients, including the standard battery and the dressings and products frequently used on the treatment. Clinical variables and those related to the patch test were evaluated. Results: Peri-wound eczema was present in 50 patients (78.1%). The standard patch test was positive in 28 (43.8%) participants, with paraben mix, nickel sulfate and lanolin being the most positive substances. The patch test with dressings and products was positive in 17 (25.6%) participants and the main allergens were, in decreasing order: collagenase with chloramphenicol (16%), silver sulfadiazine (13%) and Unna's boot (6%). Peri-wound eczema was positively related to the use of collagenase and moisturizers.

Full textDevelopment of allergic contact dermatitis as a complication of treatment of chronic venous insufficiency is well known. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of eczematous contact sensitization in patients with chronic venous insufficiency, possible risks for the development of contact sensitization, and the correlation between disease duration and contact sensitization. The working hypothesis was that the incidence of contact sensitivity is significantly higher in individuals with chronic venous insufficiency than in those without chronic venous insufficiency, that they are at greater risk of developing contact sensitization, and that there is a positive correlation between the incidence of contact sensitization and the disease duration. The study included 266 patients. They were divided into two groups: the study group included patients with chronic venous insufficiency referred for allergy testing due to suspected contact dermatitis, and the control group included patients without chronic venous insufficiency patch tested for suspected contact dermatitis. The severity of chronic venous insufficiency was assessed by CEAP classification. Thereafter, each patient underwent patch testing. The research has shown that the incidence of contact sensitization among patients with chronic venous insufficiency was 49.3%. In these patients, the incidence of contact sensitization to the European standard battery of allergens was 31.55%; to the battery specific for chronic venous insufficiency it was 28.45%; to commercially available batteries of allergens of ubiquitous plants from the Compositae family it was 6.69%; and to originally prepared extracts of ubiquitous plants found in Vojvodina it was 6.11%. There was no statistically significant difference in relation to sex. The prevalence of contact sensitization in patients with chronic venous insufficiency was not significantly different from those without chronic venous insufficiency. Positive patch test reaction rates, confirming the existence of contact sensitization, were significantly higher in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. Patients with chronic venous insufficiency had a 2.45-fold higher risk for developing contact sensitization to two or more allergens, and a 3.69-fold higher risk for developing contact sensitization to five or more allergens compared to those without chronic venous insufficiency. There was a positive correlation between the incidence of contact sensitization and the duration of the disease.

Full textThe aim of this work was to develop and optimize methods for fragrance mix I (FMI) encapsulation into nanoparticles (NPs) of two types of nanoparticles (NPs) : polymeric NPs (poly-ε-caprolactone, PCL) and solid lipid NPs (SLNs) (prepared with petrolatum, shea butter, candelilla wax, C10-18 triglycerides, or cetyl palmitate). Then, these new NPss were evaluated as vectors through a pig skin to analyze the distribution of the FMI molecules in the different skin layers. In parallel, NPs have also been applied as solubilizers for the development of a new in vitro test for the diagnosis of fragrance allergy. Our results show that (i) NPs polymers, mainly anionic NPs, are the most suitable vectors to promote trans-epidermal penetration of fragrance. On the contrary, SLNs were found in the stratum corneum, leading to an accumulation of fragrance in this layer; (ii) whatever the type of NPs, the penetration of the FMI molecules in the deeper layers of the skin depends on their intrinsic partition coefficient; (iii) PCL-NPs significantly increase the FMI solubilization in conventional culture media and, allowing a robust reactivation of circulating specific T cells in patients with allergy to fragrances. All of these results confirm the potential of organic NPs for the development of future strategies (for the skin delivery of several actives in the different skin layers). These new vectors further offer a promising alternative to improve the diagnosis of contact dermatitis induced by fragrances and more generally by hydrophobic allergens

Full textContact sensitizers are defined as reactive molecules (electrophilic) which have the ability to modify skin proteins to form an antigen (hapten). In addition to the haptenation mechanism, danger signals, leading to the activation of dendritic cells, are described to be crucial for the effective induction of an hapten-specific T cell immune response. In the context of the 7th amendment to the Cosmetic Directive, the cosmetic industry is concerned by the challenge of finding non-animal approaches to assess the sensitizing potential of chemicals. While danger signals induced by sensitizers in steady-state conditions have already been analyzed, we chose to investigate the impact of sensitizers on the course of an inflammatory response. For this purpose we used the U937 cell line differentiated with PMA and activated with LPS. In these conditions, cells produce a large amount of inflammatory mediators (IL-β, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, IL-8, PGE2, PGD2, TxB2) through the activation of pathways leading to the activation of the transcription factors NF-κB and Nrf2 and through AA metabolism by the cPLA2/COX-2 cascade. Interestingly, we showed that 6 contact sensitizers with various potential (DNCB, PPD, HQ, PG, CIN, EUG) significally and specifically decrease the production of prostanoïds and in particular of PGE2 induced by PMA/LPS. We further demonstrated that there is no unique inhibition profile of the sensitizers even if the majority (except for DNCB) of the effects applies on COX-2 (i.e. inhibition of the expression and/or activity). For DNCB, inhibition mechanism appears to be dependant of its capacity to react with thiols residues and in particular to deplete intracellular glutathione possibly leading to the inactivation of the PG-synthases. In parallel, we assess a statistical analysis on 160 molecules that allow us to define the test parameters (a molecule is a sensitizer if the PGE2 inhibition at 24h is more than 60%) and to calculate the test performance toward LLNA (78%). Moreover we demonstrated that the PGE2 test could be complementary to other already existing in vitro tests like MUSST or Nrf2-HTS. In summary, we add here a new insight into the multiple biochemical effects described so far for sensitizers. Even if the underlying biological relevance remains unclear, the parameter “PGE2 inhibition” is good test for skin sensitization evaluation. Further studies will precise how this parameter could be implemented into an alternative testing strategy for the evaluation of skin sensitization

Full textAllergic contact dermatitis is a pathology affecting 15 to 20% of the Western population. Until now no treatment exists, the prevention is the eviction of allergens. In the past, tests concerning new molecules for the market were tested on animals until the prohibition in the 7th amendment of the European directive concerning the cosmetics industry. In this context it is essential to develop alternative methods to assess the allergenic potential of chemicals.This manuscript proposes to analyze the problem of the allergic contact dermatitis from the molecule to the tissue for allergens reacting through radical mechanisms:In chemico: study of the reactivity profile of allylic hydroperoxides toward amino acids by NMRIn situ: radical intermediates formation on reconstructed human epidermis from allylic hydroperoxides by EPR In cellulo: study of the oxidative stress from allylic hydroperoxides on dendritic cells trough the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE sensor pathway

Full textAllergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and atopic dermatitis (AD), also referred to contact or atopic eczema, are frequent skin inflammatory diseases with increasing prevalence and high socioeconomic impact in Western countries. Eczemas are the prototype of skin delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions. Skin lesions are induced by the recruitment and activation in the skin of effector/memory T cells specific for environmental antigens that are innocuous to healthy non-allergic individuals.The aim of this work was to better understand the pathophysiology of eczemas by a comprehensive analysis of the contribution of skin resident memory T cells (Trm) to the chronicity and severity of these diseases.Capitalizing on relevant preclinical eczema models and on clinical samples collected from allergic patients, this work showed that: (i) numerous allergen-specific CD8+Trm colonize the eczema lesion, (ii) they accumulate in the epidermis in response to the long-term persistence of the allergen in the skin, (iii) they are instrumental for the recurrence of eczema, but (iv) theyexpress several inhibitory check point receptors (ICRs, such as PD-1, TIM-3) at their surface, which keep them in check to prevent the development of severe immunopathology.Thus, our work provides important information for considering the unique nature of hapteninduced CD8+ Trm and the mechanisms that prevent their unwanted reactivation and subsequent development of chronic or severe skin allergy. The development of therapeutic strategies targeting the reactivation of skin Trm in situ via their ICRs should open new avenues to restore tolerance in allergic individuals

Full textRIG-I like receptors (RLRs) play a major role in response to cytosolic viral RNAs by initiating an antiviral immune response through the recruitment of the mitochondrial adaptor protein MAVS (Mitochondrial AntiViral Signaling protein). We showed that MAVS-deficient mice developed an exacerbated response in a sterile inflammatory model of Contact Hypersensitivity (CHS), that reproduces the pathophysiology of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) in human. We characterized the immune system of MAVS KO mice at steady state and during CHS response. We found that MAVS deficiency leads to changes in the gut bacterial composition suggesting an unexpected role of the RLR pathway in the regulation of intestinal homeostasis. We demonstrated that intestinal dysbiosis is responsible for the increased CHS response, and showed that the inflammatory phenotype of MAVS KO mice can be transferred to WT mice by cohousing and fecal transplantation. We demonstrated that the dysbiotic gut microbiota exerts its effect due to an increased intestinal permeability during DTH sensitization. The ensuing bacterial translocation within lymphoid organs enhances characteristic cytokines production that increases CHS response. The 2nd part of my thesis aimed to study the consequences of MAVS deficiency on glucose metabolism. Our experiments showed that MAVS KO mice exhibit disorders of glucose homeostasis during high fat diet (HFD) associated with the development of overweight and insulin resistance. We also observed alterations of MAM (Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes), contact poins between mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. Recent preliminary data suggested that the metabolic disorders associated with MAVS deficiency are due to intestinal dysbiosis. Our results highlight a new role for the RLR pathway and allow to consider the development of new therapeutic approaches to human allergic and metabolic diseases by modulation of the intestinal microbiota

Full textContact sensitization as a state of specific skin reactivity may provoke psoriasis resulting from an interaction between extrinsic and intrinsic factors. One of the most significant factors characterized, as a risk factor, is the sex. The aim of this study was to determinate the frequency and distribution of contact sensitization in patients with psoriasis with respect to their sex, as well as the differences in the distribution of contact sensitization in both sexes, namely with patients with psoriasis and patients suspected to allergic contact dermatitis. Consequently, appropriate attention was paid to the correlation between contact sensitization and disease severity, and between contact sensitization and disease duration. Hypothesis were based on the assumption that allergic contact dermatitis is rare in patients with psoriasis, as a chronic inflammation of the skin reduces its ability specific sensitization, as well as that the higher frequency of contact sensitization in females represent a result of exogenous factors, i.e. exposition, and finally that there is a positive correlation between the incidence of contact sensitization and the disease severity, and contact sensitization and the disease duration. The study included 176 patients. They were divided into two groups: the study group included patients with psoriasis, while the control group included patients referred for allergy testing, since they were suspected to allergic contact dermatitis. The severity of psoriasis was evaluated by PASI score. Thereafter, each patient underwent patch testing. The positive results of patch tests were evaluated with the aim to define their clinical relevancy. Subjects from the group of psoriatic patients passed scarification test carried out to indicate the presence or absence of Köebner isomorphic phenomenon. This research led us to the conclusion that the positive reaction of psoriatic patients to at least one standard allergen did not indicate a statistically significant different reaction when compared to the reaction of patients suspected to allergic contact dermatitis. From the other side, the sensitivity expressed through the average number of positive tests per one tested patients was significantly lower in patients with psoriasis. Comparison of the contact response of men and women showed no significant differences in response with respect to their sex. The disease severity did not influence the frequency of contact sensitization in patients with psoriasis. At the same time, the frequency of contact sensitization stood in a positive correlation with the duration of disease. The lower rate of contact sensitization was found in patients with psoriasis who have had a positive Köebner phenomenon at the time of testing.

Full textInduction of peripheral tolerance to potentially allergenic molecules in contact with the skin is essential to prevent the development of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). During my PhD, I contributed to the identification of the mechanisms and actors responsible for the induction of skin tolerance and clarified the respective roles of dendritic cell (DC) subsets in the breakdown of skin tolerance leading to the priming of cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and developpement of ACD. Using a mouse model of cutaneous tolerance to a model weak allergen, we show that epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) are essential to induce CD8+ T cell tolerance and prevent the development of ACD. Indeed, following the epicutaneous delivery of the weak allergen/hapten DNTB, LC were found to migrate from skin to draining lymph nodes to present the allergen to CD8+ T cells. Depletion and adoptive transfer experiments revealed that LC protect from development of ACD by preventing the priming of allergenspecific cytotoxic CD8+ T cells via two complementary mechanisms: i) anergy/deletion of allergen-specific CD8+ T cells and ii) activation of highly suppressive Foxp3+ regulatory T cells expressing ICOS. We identified DNTB skin delivery conditions that allow for CD8+ T cell priming and initiation of ACD. Breakdown of tolerance to this weak allergen was associated with i) phenotypic modifications of epidermal LC, ii) recruitment of inflammatory monocytes to the skin and iii) allergen presentation to CD8+ T cells by both LC and dermal Langerin- DC. In addition, LC are involved in tolerance breakdown as their depletion prior to skin immunization abrogated induction of CD8+ effector cells and ACD. These results demonstrate that LC are essential for both the induction of skin tolerance to weak skin allergens and for the induction of ACD, and suggest that their tolerogenic versus immuno-stimulatory function is likely dictated by signals from the skin microenvironment after penetration of the allergen

Full textAllergic contact dermatitis represents a severe health problem with increasing worldwide prevalence. It is a T cell-mediated inflammatory skin disease caused by chemicals present in daily or professional environment. Contact sensitizers are low molecular weight compounds termed haptens. These molecules are known to induce an up-regulation of phenotypic markers and cytokine secretion in dendritic cells (DCs), professional antigen-presenting cells, leading to the generation of effector T lymphocytes (LT).We identified a new kinase, termed CK2 (formerly casein kinase 2), as a key kinase in DCs in the acquisition of a mature phenotype and in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, involved in T cell polarization in response to contact sensitizers. CK2 activity in DC is necessary to induce a Th1 polarization by controlling the secretion of IFN- by LT, and maintains a pre-existing Th17 response. Moreover, CK2 in DC negatively controls a spontaneous Th2 response.Finally, CK2 controls the expression of Nrf2 target genes mRNA. Nrf2 is a protective transcription factor playing a major role in detoxification, oxidative stress and allergic inflammation generated by contact sensitizers. Nrf2 activation involves different kinases and we highlight that c-Jun could be bound to Nrf2 to generate an active transcriptional complex in response to chemicals

Full textOral lichen planus (OLP) is an idiopathic chronic inflammatory disease that affects the oral mucosa in approximately 2% of the Swedish population. Amalgam fillings may induce contact oral lichenoid lesions (cOLL) that can be difficult to clinically distinguish from OLP. It is not possible to histologically distinguish between OLP and cOLL. As their treatments differ, the correct diagnosis is vital.Toll-like receptors (TLR) are expressed by most of the body's cells and are part of the innate immune system, however they have also been linked to certain autoimmune diseases. OLP exhibits an increased amount of TLR in the epithelium.The purpose of this study is to investigate the variations in the expression of TLR4 and TLR9 in OLP and cOLL. Our hypothesis is that a histological difference in OLP and cOLL can be observed due to TLRs different roles in maintaining the immune response.Method: Tissue samples with histologically confirmed lichenoid reactions were chosen from Biobank, Oral Pathology, Malmö, from patients with the clinical diagnosis OLP (10 subjects) and cOLL (12 subjects). TLR4 and TLR9 were identified by immunohistochemical staining and compared between the two groups.Results: A significant difference was observed in TLR4 staining of fibroblasts, lymphocytes and macrophages where the antibody was less expressive in OLP. In TLR9 staining lymphocytes were stronger expressed in OLP compared to cOLL.Conclusion: Our results showed that there was a difference in the expression of TLR4 and TLR9 in cOLL and OLP, this could be a result of OLP being an autoimmune disorder. Further studies on this subject are recommended on this subject.

Full textSkin allergy is a major public health problem. It is the most important immunotoxic reaction in humans. Understanding all mechanisms leading to allergic-inflammatory reactions is essential in order to evaluate the sensitization potential of molecules for risk assessment purposes. Hydroperoxides derived from autoxidation of odorant terpenes used in cosmetics cause skin sensitization. The objective was to study the involvement of radical mechanisms in the formation of the antigenic entities of these compounds. An integrated approach of three actions was proposed: - "in chemico" : reactivity studies with amino acids to establish a complete reactivity profile via radical reactions ; - "in situ" : formation and behavior of radical intermediates in a reconstructed human epidermis 3D model ; - "in cellulo" : ability to activate the innate immune system, namely dendritic cells in their natural keratinocyte context

Full textContact dermatitis is one of the most common health problem and highly prevalent in industrialized countries. No therapy currently exists and only the total eviction of the allergen can prevent further allergie reaction.The key molecular event in skin sensitization is the formation of a bond between the allergen and the epidermal proteins. Due to the recent legislation on cosmetic and to help avoid the inappropriate use of new allergens, the understanding of this key step has to be expanded in order to develop new alternative metbods.The aim of this PhD work is to study the reactivity of some allergens towards amino acids and proteins presents in reconstructed human epidermis like SkinEthic® using the HRMAS NMR technique. Six allergens have been studied and their reactivity was compared to that observed ln solution with a model protein

Full textContact dermatitis is a skin pathology particularly prevalent in industrialized countries. No therapy currently exists and only complete avoidance of the particular allergen can prevent an allergic reaction. Historically, the assessment of skin sensitisation potential of molecules placed on the market was always carried out by animal testing. However, the scope of this testing method is now limited by the new European cosmetics legislation. In this way, the development of alternative methods, not based on animal experimentation, become an important issue. Contact dermatitis results of a chemical key step: the formation of an antigenic complex allergen-protein complexe able to activate the cutaneous immune system. The aim of this PhD work was to study the in situ behaviour of allergens in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic® model). By using an appropriate non-invasive analysis technique, HR-MAS NMR spectroscopy, it has been possible to study the mode of action of different allergens, from their possible activation through the metabolic pathway to the binding with epidermal proteins
