    Abstract Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic skin inflammatory disease in which blisters and pustules repeatedly develop on palms and soles. PPP is often refractory to topical therapy, oral therapy, phototherapy, and biologics that are usually applied for PPP. We report a patient with PPP improved by vedolizumab (anti-α4β7 integrin antibody) treatment for ulcerative colitis, suggesting the possibility of a new molecular target for PPP therapy.

    Abstract Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been detected in most skin cancers. TAMs produce various chemokines and angiogenic factors that promote tumor development, along with other immunosuppressive cells such as myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), regulatory T cells (Tregs) and tumor-associated neutrophils. TAMs generated from monocytes develop into functional, fully activated macrophages, and TAMs obtain various immunosuppressive functions to maintain the tumor microenvironment. Since TAMs express PD1 to maintain the immunosuppressive M2 phenotype by PD1/PD-L1 signaling from tumor cells, and the blockade of PD1/PD-L1 signaling by anti-PD1 antibodies (Abs) activate and re-polarize TAMs into immunoreactive M1 phenotypes, TAMs represent a potential target for anti-PD1 Abs. The main population of TAMs comprises CD163

    Abstract Although various anti-cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) therapies are available for clinical use, appropriate chemotherapy lines for the treatment of CTCLs have yet to be established. Therefore, to date, various clinical trials for the treatment of advanced CTCLs are ongoing. In this review, we evaluate the therapeutic options that are available in clinical practice for treatment of early- and advanced-stage CTCLs (targeted therapies, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors, retinoids, interferons, cytotoxic drugs, etc.). We also examine clinical trials of novel regimens for the treatment of CTCLs.

    Abstract An active form of cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide, LL-37, has immunomodulatory and stimulatory effects, though the specific pathways are not clear. The purpose of this study was to identify the cellular pathways by which LL-37 amplifies the inflammation induced by damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). We performed DNA microarray, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, immunoblotting, and proximity ligation assays using cultured keratinocytes treated with LL-37 and/or the DAMP poly(I:C), a synthetic double-stranded RNA. In contrast to the combination of LL-37 and poly(I:C), LL-37 alone induced genes related to biological metabolic processes such as VEGFA and PTGS2 (COX-2). Inhibition of FPR2, a known receptor for cathelicidin, partially suppressed the induction of VEGFA and PTGS2. Importantly, VEGFA and PTGS2 induced by LL-37 alone were diminished by the knockdown of scavenger receptors including SCARB1 (SR-B1), OLR1 (SR-E1), and AGER (SR-J1). Moreover, LL-37 alone, as well as the combination of LL-37 and poly(I:C), showed proximity to the scavenger receptors, indicating that LL-37 acts via scavenger receptors and intermediates between them and poly(I:C). These results showed that the broad function of cathelicidin is generally dependent on scavenger receptors. Therefore, inhibitors of scavenger receptors or non-functional mock cathelicidin peptides may serve as new anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents.

    Abstract IL-1 functions as an essential pro-inflammatory mediator for the sensitisation of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). However, studies conducted to date have typically used a limited number of haptens and examined their effects only on murine ACD or murine dendritic cells (DCs). It therefore remains unclear whether IL-1α and/or IL-1β is produced in ACD induced by haptens other than those commonly used in mouse ACD models, and whether they are essential for sensitisation leading to ACD in humans. In addition, it is unclear whether human DCs also produce IL-1α or IL-1β after stimulation by haptens in general. Here, we first demonstrated that 10 haptens (3 extreme, 1 strong, 3 moderate and 3 weak) increased both IL-1α mRNA and IL-1β mRNA expression by the human monocyte cell line THP-1, a commonly used surrogate of DCs in in vitro skin sensitisation tests. Next, we constructed an in vitro skin sensitisation test using a stable IL-1β reporter cell line, THP-G1b, and evaluated whether 88 haptens and 34 non-haptens increase IL-1β reporter activity. We found that 94% of 77 haptens evaluated after considering their applicability domain and solubility in the chosen media stimulated reporter activity. These studies demonstrated that most haptens, irrespective of their potency, increased IL-1β mRNA expression by THP-1 cells, confirming that human DCs also produce IL-1β after stimulation by most haptens. The luciferase assay using THP-G1b cells is thus another skin sensitisation test based on the adverse outcome pathway with reasonable performance.
