Objectives: The present study was carried out to investigate effects of HBPDS on allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) induced by 2,4-Dinitro-1-fluorobenzene (DNFB) in mice.
Methods : In this experiment, effects of HBPDS on body weights, skin thicknesses, skin weights, histopathological changes, clinical aspects, erythema index, melanin index, production levels of cytokines in ACD mice were investigated. In addition, effects on proliferation rates, release of β-hexosaminidase and histamine were also investigated in vitro.
Results & Conclusions: 1) HBPDS inhibited enlargement of skin thickness and weight significantly (P < 0.05).
2) HBPDS treatment prevented spongiosis, edema and immune cell infiltrations.
3) Erythema, desquamation and keratosis were diminished by oral administration of HBPDS.
4) Production levels of TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma in serum were decreased by HBPDS treatment in vivo.
5) More than 200 ㎍/㎖ of HBPDS treatment decreased β-hexosaminidase release and more than 400 ㎍/㎖ of HBPDS treatment also decreased histamine release in vitro.
