ABSTRACT
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and atopic dermatitis (AD) are common inflammatory diseases. We previously reported attenuated contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses in AD model mice using 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene, reflecting clinical experiments. However, previous studies have not addressed the commonality of findings across haptens and mechanisms focused on dendritic cells (DCs). Thus, this study evaluated CHS responses to fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and DC migration and maturation in the sensitization phase of CHS in AD. CHS responses to FITC were compared between NC/Nga mice without and with AD induction (non-AD and AD mice, respectively). T-cell responses and DC migration and maturation after FITC-induced sensitization were examined in the draining lymph nodes of non-AD and AD mice. AD mice demonstrated reduced CHS responses to FITC under decreased T-cell proliferation following sensitization and interferon-γ production by hapten-specific T cells compared with non-AD mice. In addition, the number of FITC+CD11c+MHC class IIhigh migratory DCs 24 h after FITC sensitization was comparable between non-AD and AD mice. However, FITC+CD11c+MHC class IIhigh migratory DCs in AD mice exhibited lower expression levels of CD80 and CD86 and higher expression levels of PD-L1 and mRNA of transforming growth factor beta than non-AD mice. These findings suggest that attenuated CHS responses may be hapten-independent and the induction of the tolerogenic phenotype of hapten-bearing DCs can contribute to reduced T-cell proliferation after sensitization and CHS responses in AD.
