    Up-regulation of Proinflammatory Genes and Cytokines Induced by S100A8 in CD8(+) T Cells in Lichen Planus
    (2016) CARVALHO, Gabriel Costa de; DOMINGUES, Rosana; NOGUEIRA, Marcelle Almeida de Sousa; BRANCO, Anna C. Calvielli Castelo; MANFRERE, Kelly C. Gomes; PEREIRA, Naiura Vieira; AOKI, Valeria; SOTTO, Mirian Nacagami; DUARTE, Alberto J. da Silva; SATO, Maria Notomi
    Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease. The inflammatory status of LP may be related to S100A8 (myeloid-related protein 8; MRP8) activation of cytotoxic cells. The aims of this study were to evaluate S100A8 expression in skin lesions and the in vitro effects of S100A8 on CD8(+) T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in LP. Increased levels of S100A8/S100A9 were detected in the skin lesions as well as in the sera of subjects with LP. S100A8 expression induced an increased cytotoxic response by peripheral blood CD8(+)CD107a(+) T cells as well as by NK CD56(bright) cells in patients with LP. Increased expression of interleukin (1L)-1 beta, tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-6 in the CD8(+) T cells of patients with LP was induced by S100A8, in contrast to the control group that produced IL- 10 and interferon type I genes. These data suggest that, in individuals with LP, S100A8 may exert distinct immunomodulatory and cytotoxicity functions.

    Up-regulation of HMGB1 and TLR4 in skin lesions of lichen planus
    (2018) CARVALHO, Gabriel Costa de; HIRATA, Fabiana Yasumoto Araujo; DOMINGUES, Rosana; FIGUEIREDO, Cristina Adelaide; ZANIBONI, Mariana Colombini; PEREIRA, Naiura Vieira; SOTTO, Mirian Nacagami; AOKI, Valeria; DUARTE, Alberto Jose da Silva; SATO, Maria Notomi
    Lichen planus (LP) is a chronic, mucocutaneous inflammatory disease of an unknown aetiology. The disease has been associated with certain viruses, and the factors such as DAMPs (damage-associated molecular patterns) and PAMPs (pathogen-associated molecular patterns) may also contribute to the inflammatory response in LP. HMGB1 (high mobility group box 1 protein) is one of the major DAMPs that induces inflammation and could trigger LP disease. The present study was aimed to examine TLR4, RAGE and HMGB1 production in epidermis or dermis by immunohistochemistry and the respective expression of these targets in the skin lesions of patients with LP. Moreover, we measured HMGB1 serum levels by ELISA. The results showed similar profile of expression by HMGB1 and TLR4, which are decreased at epidermis and up-regulated at dermis of skin lesions of LP patients that was sustained by intense cellular infiltration. RAGE expression was also increased in dermis of LP. Although there is increased RAGE protein levels, a decreased RAGE transcript levels was detected. Similar HMGB1 serum levels were detected in the LP and control groups. This study demonstrates that HMGB1 and TLR4 could contribute to the inflammatory LP process in skin.
