Popis: | Summary Background An alternative approach to retinoid therapy is to inhibit the cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated catabolism of endogenous all-trans retinoic acid in the skin by applying retinoic acid metabolism blocking agents such as talarozole (R115866). Objectives To study the effects of topical talarozole on retinoid biomarkers in normal skin in a randomized phase I trial. Methods Gels containing talarozole (0·35% or 0·07%) and vehicle were applied once daily for 9 days on either buttock of 16 healthy volunteers. Epidermal shave biopsies (for mRNA analysis) and punch biopsies (for histology and immunofluorescence analysis) were collected from the treatment areas. Genes encoding the following were studied by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction: cellular retinoic acid binding protein 2 (CRABP2), cytokeratins (KRT2 and KRT4), CYP26A1, CYP26B1, CYP26C1 and CYP2S1, two enzymes in the retinol metabolism (retinal dehydrogenase-2 and retinol acyltransferase) and two proinflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-1α and tumour necrosis factor-α]. Results Talarozole treatment increased the mRNA expression of CRABP2, KRT4, CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 dose dependently, and decreased the expression of KRT2 and IL-1α compared with vehicle-treated skin. No mRNA change in retinol-metabolizing enzymes was obtained. There was no induction of epidermal thickness or overt skin inflammation in talarozole-treated skin. Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed an upregulation of KRT4 protein, but no upregulation of CYP26A1 and CYP26B1 expression was detected. Conclusions Talarozole influences the biomarker pattern consistently with increased retinoic acid stimulation. The low irritancy of talarozole at the two examined dosages is a possible advantage over topical retinoids. |
