Abstract

Five dogs were used to determine whether 0.1% tacrolimus ointment application for one day would inhibit IgE-mediated late-phase reactions (LPRs). It was consisted of three periods: one period without therapeutic administration (control) and two periods of treatment with either the tacrolimus ointment or vehicle. Induction of IgE-mediated LPRs was induced by intradermal injections of 0.05 ml (0.14 mg/ml) of solution of goat anti-canine IgE polyclonal antibodies. Each section for mast cells (MCs) and eosinophils (EPs) was stained with acidified toluidine blue, and Luna's stain, respectively. Assessment of anti-inflammatory effect of tacrolimus ointment composed of cell counts of MC and EP from lesions of induced LPR. In normal canine biopsies, the number of dermal MCs and EPs were $12.3{\pm}1.4cells/mm^2$ and $3.1{\pm}1.3cells/mm^2$, respectively. MC counts dramatically decreased at time dependent manner after anti-IgE administration. However, the number of MCs on 6 hours after challenge was significantly less decreased in the groups treated with the tacrolimus, as compared with control and vehicle group. The number of EPs on 24 hours after challenge was significantly lower in the group treated with the tacrolimus than in the control and vehicle groups. In conclusion, this study revealed that 0.1% tacrolimus ointment in dogs may exert a potent anti-inflammatory effect on inhibition of MC degranulation and also secondary prevention of EP infiltration during LPR.

Goat-anti-canine IgE polyclonal antibody로 유발한 개 피부염에 대한 0.1% FK-506 연고의 항염효과를 평가하였다. 임상적으로 건강한 성견 5두를 사용하여 실험군은 대조군, 위약적용군, FK-506 적용군으로 구분하였다. 항염효과는 팽진의 크기, 피부생검 검사를 통한 비만세포와 호산구수를 측정하여 평가하였으며 비만세포는 Toluidine blue, 호산구는 Luna 염색법을 사용하였다. 염증유발 15분 후의 팽진의 크기는 FK-506 적용군에서 유의성 있게 감소하였다 (p < 0.01). 6, 12, 24 시간 후 염증유발부위에 대한 피부생검을 각각 실시하였다. 정상피부의 비만세포는 $12.32{\pm}3.27cells/mm^2$ 이었으며 12시간 후에 FK-506 적용군은 $5.79{\pm}0.86cells/mm^2$으로 대조군의 $1.89{\pm}0.49cells/mm^2$, 위약군의 $1.74{\pm}0.50$ 에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p < 0.01). 정상피부의 호산구는 $2.73{\pm}2.24cells/mm^2$ 이었다. 대조군, 위약 적용군, FK-506 적용군의 호산구 수는 12 및 24 시간 후 FK-506 적용군에서 대조군과 위약 적용군에 비해 유의하게 증가하였다(p < 0.01). 따라서 FK-506 연고는 급성염증과 아토피증상과 유사한 후기염증에서 항염효과 있는 것으로 사료된다.
