Abstract

Recent studies suggest that phthalates may have a role in the development of allergic diseases, probably due to an adjuvant effect. The present study aimed to investigate the possible adjuvant effect of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) in two in vitro models of contact-allergen induced cell activation, namely the NCTC 2544 IL-18 assay and the THP-1 activation assay. Results show no adjuvant effect in the human keratinocyte cell line NCTC 2544, indicated by lack of increase in interleukin 18 (IL-18) production after exposure to p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) in association with DBP. On the contrary, increased upregulation of CD86 and interleukin 8 (IL-8) production were observed in THP-1 cells exposed to combinations of citral (Cit) or imidazolidinyl urea (IMZ) with DBP, indicative of an adjuvant effect. Additionally, higher production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in THP-1 cells treated with DBP associated to Cit supports that oxidative stress could be part of the molecular mechanism of the observed adjuvant effect. In conclusion, we demonstrate that DBP presents in vitro an adjuvant effect for immune stimulation in dendritic cells but not in keratinocytes. Future studies are necessary to elucidate the precise mechanism underlying the adju...Continue Reading

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
