- W4328049657 abstract "Topical imiquimod based creams are indicated as immune stimulants for papillomas and various skin neoplasms. Imiquimod is considered a TLR7 ligand. These creams are also used in research to induce skin inflammation in mice as a model for psoriasis. We observed that this inflammatory response was not strictly imiquimod dependent and we set out to establish which components drive the proinflammatory effects. To this end, we examined the induction response in a BALB/cJRj mouse model, in which 50 mg of cream is applied to 2 cm2 of skin (125 mg/kg imiquimod—5% W/V, and/or 625 mg/kg isostearic acid—25% W/V). Comparing cream formulations containing isostearic acid, imiquimod and the combination, we observed that isostearic acid causes skin inflammation within 2 days, whereas imiquimod requires up to 5 days for initial signs. Isostearic acid activated an inflammasome response, stimulated release of proinflammatory cytokines and upregulated the IL-23/17 axis. Animals treated with isostearic acid had enlarged livers (+ 40% weight), which was not observed with imiquimod alone. Imiquimod was readily metabolized and cleared from plasma and liver, but was maintained at high levels in the skin throughout the body (200 mM at area of application; 200 µM in untreated skin). Imiquimod application was associated with splenomegaly, cytokine induction/release and initial body weight loss over 3 days. Despite high imiquimod skin levels throughout the animal, inflammation was only apparent in the treated areas and was less severe than in isostearic acid groups. As the concentrations in these areas are well above the 10 µM required for TLR7 responses in vitro, there is an implication that skin inflammation following imiquimod is due to effects other than TLR7 agonism (e.g., adenosine receptor agonism). In brain, isostearic caused no major changes in cytokine expression while imiquimod alone sightly stimulated expression of IL-1β and CCL9. However, the combination of both caused brain induction of CCL3, -9, CXCL10, -13, IL-1β and TNFα. The implication of these data is that isostearic acid facilitates the entry of imiquimod or peripherally secreted cytokines into the brain. Our data suggest that psoriaform skin responses in mice are more driven by isostearic acid, than generally reported and that the dose and route used in the model, leads to profound systemic effects, which may complicate the interpretation of drug effects in this model." @default.
