RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) has been proven effective in treating viral warts. Since anticarcinogenic as well as anti-inflammatory properties are ascribed to the substance, its use has been evaluated in the context of different dermatoses. The effect of EGCG on interface dermatitis (ID), however, has not yet been explored. OBJECTIVES: In this study, we investigated the effect of EGCG on an epidermal human in vitro model of ID. METHODS: Via immunohistochemistry, lesional skin of lichen planus patients and healthy skin were analysed concerning the intensity of interferon-associated mediators, CXCL10 and MxA. Epidermal equivalents were stained analogously upon ID-like stimulation and EGCG treatment. Monolayer keratinocytes were treated likewise and supernatants were analysed via ELISA while cells were processed for vitality assay or transcriptomic analysis. RESULTS: CXCL10 and MxA are strongly expressed in lichen planus lesions and induced in keratinocytes upon ID-like stimulation. EGCG reduces CXCL10 and MxA staining intensity in epidermis equivalents and CXCL10 secretion by keratinocytes upon stimulation. It furthermore minimizes the cytotoxic effect of the stimulus and downregulates a magnitude of typical pro-inflammatory cytokines that are crucial for the perpetuation of ID. CONCLUSIONS: We provide evidence concerning anti-inflammatory effects of EGCG within a human in vitro model of ID. The capacity to suppress mediators that are centrally involved in disease perpetuation suggests EGCG as a potential topical therapeutic in lichen planus and other autoimmune skin diseases associated with ID.
