RESUMO

Objective To investigate the effects of acitretin on T helper cell (Th) 1/Th2 balance and Th17 cells in psoriasis vulgaris (PV) patients. Methods A total of 13 men and 17 women with PV were investigated. 10 mg of acitretin was administered twice a day for 8 weeks for intervention therapy. Serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. T, Th1, Th2 and Th17 cells in skin biopsies were counted with double-labeled immunofluorescence. Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) score was calculated before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results Before treatment PV patients had higher serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-17, and increased T, Th1 and Th17 cells in skin biopsies. After treatment, both serum levels of IFN-γ and IL-17, and T, Th1 and Th17 cells infiltrating in PV skin decreased significantly. Th1/Th2 balance was restored to normal. However, their IL-4 and Th2 cells showed no significant change throughout the therapy. Conclusion Acitretin exerts influence on dermal Th1/Th2 balance and Th17 cell infiltration, so does it on production of systematic inflammatory cytokines IFN-γ and IL-17 in PV patients. However, Th2 cells and its derivative cytokine-IL-4 are not affected.

RESUMO

Objective To study the effect of NS398, an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2), on the growth and apoptosis of human squamous cell carcinoma cell line Tca8113. Methods Cultured Tca8113 cells were incubated with NS398 (0, 6.25, 12.5, 25, 50, 100 μmol/L) for 24, 48 and 72 hours, respectively. Thereafter, MTT method, flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy were applied to detect the proliferation, cell cycle and apoptosis of Tca8113 cells, respectively. Results The proliferation of Tca8113 cells was inhibited by NS398 in a dose- and time-dependent manner (both P<0.05). FCM analysis showed the appearance of a typical hypodiploid apoptotic (Sub-G1) peak, an increase in the percentage of cells at G0/G1 phase and a decrease in that at S and G2/M phases in NS398 ( 100 μmol/L) -treated Tca8113 cells. Moreover, the cell proliferation index was significantly downregulated by NS398 of 100 μmol/L from 41.03 to 24.33 (P<0.05). Under an electron microscope, morphological changes characteristic of apoptosis were observed in NS398-treated Tca8113 cells. Conclusion NS398, an inhibitor of COX2, could effectively inhibit the growth of Tca8113 cells in vitro by induction of apoptosis.

RESUMO

Objective To find direct effect of Chinese herbs Bu Gu Zhi (Psoralea corylifolia L) and Bai Zhi (Dahurian angelica root) Extracts on melanocyte adhesion and migration in vitro. Methods Ethanol extracts obtained from two kind of Chinese medicinable herbs were tested. Human melanocytes were obtained from neonatal foreskins and 48-well culture dish covered with fibronectin were used to perform melanocyte adhesion assay; Motility was assessed using the micropore filter method. Results: The extracts of Bu Gu Zhi(Psoralea corylifolia L), Bai Zhi(Dahurian angelica root) obviously showed an effect in increasing of human melanocyte adhesion and migration on fibronectin. Conclusion It is suggested that Buguzhi(Fructus Psoraleae) and Baizhi(Radix Angelicae Dahuricae) might induce melanocyte adhesion and/or migration in the treatment of vitiligo.
