Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been known to regulate inflammatory diseases. The role of HDAC6 in allergic skin inflammation has not been studied. We studied the role of HDAC6 in atopic dermatitis (AD) and the mechanisms associated with it. The decreased expression or chemical inhibition of HDAC6 suppressed AD by decreasing autophagic flux and cellular features of AD. AD increased expression levels of the Th1 and Th2 cytokines, but decreased expression levels of forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in an HDAC6-dependent manner. CXC chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13), which was increased in an HDAC6-depenednt manner, mediated AD. MiR-9, negatively regulated by HDAC6, suppressed AD by directly regulating the expression of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1). The downregulation or inhibition of SIRT1 suppressed AD. Experiments employing culture medium and transwell suggested that cellular interactions involving mast cells, keratinocytes, and dermal fibroblast cells could promote AD; HDAC6 and CXCL13 were found to be necessary for these cellular interactions. Mouse recombinant CXCL13 protein increased HDAC6 expression in skin mast cells and dermal fibroblast cells. CXCL13 protein was found to be present in the exosomes of DNCB-treated skin mast cells. Exosomes of DNCB-treated skin mast cells enhanced invasion potentials of keratinocytes and dermal fibroblast cells and increased expression levels of HDAC6, SIRT1 and CXCL13 in keratinocytes and dermal fibroblast cells. These results indicate that HDAC6 and CXCL13 may serve as targets for the developing anti-atopic drugs.

SummaryRecent data suggest that auricular thrombosis is associated with accumulation of mast cells (MC) in the upper endocardium (where usually no MC reside) and local expression of MGF (mast cell growth factor) (25). In this study, the role of vascular cells, thrombin-activation and MGF, in MC-migration was analyzed. For this purpose, cultured human auricular endocardial cells (HAUEC), umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and uterine-(HUTMEC) and skin-derived (HSMEC) microvascular endothelial cells were exposed to thrombin or control medium, and the migration of primary tissue MC (lung, n = 6) and HMC-1 cells (human MC-line) against vascular cells (supernatants) measured. Supernatants (24 h) of unstimulated vascular cells (monolayers of endocardium or endothelium) as well as recombinant (rh) MGF induced a significant migratory response in HMC-1 (control: 3025 ± 344 cells [100 ± 11.4%] vs. MGF, 100 ng/ml: 8806 ± 1019 [291 ± 34%] vs. HAUEC: 9703 ± 1506 [320.8 ± 49.8%] vs. HUTMEC: 8950 ± 1857 [295.9 ± 61.4%] vs. HSMEC: 9965 ± 2018 [329.4 ± 66.7%] vs. HUVEC: 9487 ± 1402 [313.6 ± 46.4%], p <0.05) as well as in primary lung MC. Thrombin-activation (5 U/ml, 12 h) of vascular cells led to an augmentation of the directed migration of MC as well as to a hirudin-sensitive increase in MGF synthesis and release. Moreover, a blocking anti-MGF antibody was found to inhibit MC-migration induced by unstimulated or thrombin-activated vascular cells. Together, these data show that endocardial and other vascular cells can induce migration of human MC. This MC-chemotactic signal of the vasculature is associated with expression and release of MGF, augmentable by thrombin, and may play a role in the pathophysiology of (auricular) thrombosis.
