چکیده

A single application of 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) to mouse skin results in an acute inflammatory response, with an influx of neutrophils and lymphocytes, epidermal hyperplasia and abnormal keratinocyte differentiation. This response is significantly inhibited by topical cyclosporin A (CyA). Although CyA is known to inhibit T-cell activation, the role of T cells in TPA-induced cutaneous inflammation is not well understood. In this study, we have used severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice, which carry a spontaneous mutation resulting in the absence of functional T and B lymphocytes, to examine whether lymphocytes are required for the TPA response in mouse skin and whether CyA inhibits the TPA response in SCID mice. A significant increase in epidermal and deep dermal inflammation was observed in both SCID and CB-17 mice 24 h after a single application of TPA (10 nmol) compared with vehicle (P < 0.05, n = 5-7). Simultaneous application of CyA (1.7 mumol) plus TPA resulted in a significant reduction in epidermal and deep inflammation at 24 h compared with TPA alone in SCID and CB-17 mice (P < 0.05, n = 7). In contrast to hairless mice, a variable increase in epidermal thickness was observed in both SCID and CB-17 mice after treatment with TPA at 24 and 72 h, which was not significantly affected by CyA. These data indicate that TPA-induced inflammation in mouse skin does not depend on lymphocytes. In addition, the inhibition of TPA-induced epidermal and deep dermal inflammation by CyA in SCID mouse skin suggests that CyA exerts effects on cutaneous inflammation in mice in the absence of functioning T cells.

Induction of expression and phosphorylation of the human interleukin 2 receptor by a phorbol diester.

The receptor for interleukin 2 (IL 2) is induced on normal mature T cells activated by antigen or mitogen. Receptor-negative human T leukemic cell lines were induced to express the IL 2 receptor after incubation with 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol 13-acetate. The Mr of the IL 2 receptor expressed on the surface of four different T cell lines and normal peripheral blood lymphocytes varied. The sourc...
