Although hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is frequently used, addition of quinacrine (QC) has shown additional clinical effects when combined with HCQ. To quantify the effects of HCQ versus QC in suppressing secretion of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and IFN-α from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of DM and CLE patients, lipopolysaccharide-stimulated and control peripheral blood mononuclear cells from DM and CLE patients and control subjects were analyzed for the effect of HCQ and QC on TNF-α and IFN-α production using ELISA testing. Flow cytometry showed the effects of these therapies on intracellular TNF-α in myeloid dendritic cells and monocytes of DM patients and control subjects. QC significantly suppressed TNF-α relative to HCQ from unstimulated and lipopolysaccharide-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells of DM and CLE patients (<em>P</em> < 0.0001). It suppressed IFN-α as significantly as HCQ from cytosine phosphodiester guanine–stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells of DM and CLE patients (<em>P</em> < 0.0001). Flow cytometry showed that QC significantly suppressed intracellular expression of TNF-α from the lipopolysaccharide-stimulated myeloid dendritic cells and monocytes of DM patients (<em>P</em>-values ≤ 0.0008). In conclusion, QC likely has a different mechanism of action than HCQ, given the broader inhibition of proinflammatory cytokines, including both TNF-α and IFN-α.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings","volume":"18 2","pages":"Pages S57-S63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jisp.2016.11.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35380888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its precise mechanism in AGA has yet to be clearly defined. Although testosterone plays a critical role in the initiation and progression of AGA, the existence of a possible link between PGD2 and testosterone in skin has not been investigated. Here we show that human keratinocytes treated with PGD2 show enhanced capacity to convert the weak androgen, androstenedione, to testosterone. At the same time, treatment with PGD2 induced reactive oxygen species as indicated by generation of the lipid peroxidation product, 4-hydroxynonenal. To determine whether these two events are linked, we used the reactive oxygen species scavenger N-acetyl-cysteine, which blocked the enhanced testosterone production from PGD2-treated keratinocytes. Our study suggests the existence of a possible crosstalk between the PGD2-reactive oxygen species axis and testosterone metabolism in keratinocytes. Thus, we propose that AGA patients might benefit from the use of N-acetyl-cysteine or other antioxidants as a supplement to currently available or emerging AGA therapies such as finasteride, minoxidil, and PGD2 receptor blockers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54791,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings","volume":"18 2","pages":"Pages S81-S84"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jisp.2017.01.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35380891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
