Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DiHS), also known as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a severe cutaneous adverse reaction (SCAR) characterized by an exanthem, fever, and hematologic and visceral organ involvement. Anticonvulsants, antibiotics, and allopurinol are the most common triggers. The pathogenesis involves a complex interplay between drugs, viruses, and the immune system primarily mediated by T-cells. DiHS/DRESS typically presents with a morbilliform eruption 2-6 weeks after drug exposure, and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and risk of relapse. Long-term sequelae primarily relate to organ dysfunction and autoimmune diseases. Part I of this continuing medical education activity on DiHS/DRESS provides an update on epidemiology, novel insights into pathogenesis, and a description of clinicopathological features and prognosis.

Unveiling the mechanisms of trichloroethylene hypersensitivity syndrome: Exploring the role of connexin 43 gap junctions in severe skin damage. Food Chem Toxicol 2024; 187:114594. [PMID: 38485042 DOI: 10.1016/j.fct.2024.114594] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2024] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/11/2024] [Indexed: 03/23/2024]
Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE), extensively used as an organic solvent in various industrial applications, has been identified as a causative factor in inducing hypersensitivity syndrome (THS). Currently, there is no specific treatment for THS, and most patients experience serious adverse outcomes due to extensive skin damage leading to severe infection. However, the pathogenesis of THS-associated skin damage remains unclear. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism underlying skin damage from the perspective of intercellular communication and gap junctions in THS. Our results verified that hyperactivation of connexin43 gap junctions, caused by the aberrantly elevated expression of connexin43, triggers a bystander effect that promotes apoptosis and inflammation in THS via the TNF-TNFRSF1B and mitochondria-associated pathways. Additionally, we identified the gap junction inhibitor Carbenoxolone disodium (CBX) as a promising agent for the treatment of skin damage in THS. CBX protects against inflammatory cell infiltration in the skin and decreases immune cell imbalance in the peripheral blood of THS mice. Furthermore, CBX reduces connexin43 expression, apoptosis and inflammation in THS mice. The study reveals new insights into the mechanisms underlying TCE-induced skin damage, offering a potential treatment strategy for the development of effective therapies targeting severe dermatitis induced by chemical exposure.

Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE)-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (THS) has been a concern for many researchers in the field of environmental and occupational health. Currently, there is no specific treatment for THS, leaving patients to contend with severe infections arising from extensive skin lesions, consequently leading to serious adverse effects. However, the pathogenesis of severe skin damage in THS remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the specific danger signals and mechanisms underlying skin damage in THS through in vivo and in vitro experiments. We identified that cell supernatant containing 15 kDa granulysin (GNLY), released from activated CD3-CD56+NK cells or CD3+CD56+NKT cells in PBMC induced by TCE or its metabolite, promoted apoptosis in HaCaT cells. The apoptosis level decreased upon neutralization of GNLY in the supernatant by a GNLY-neutralizing antibody in HaCaT cells. Subcutaneous injection of recombinant 15 kDa GNLY exacerbated skin damage in the THS mouse model and better mimicked patients' disease states. Recombinant 15 kDa GNLY could directly induce cellular communication disorders, inflammation, and apoptosis in HaCaT cells. In addition to its cytotoxic effects, GNLY released from TCE-activated NK cells and NKT cells or synthesized GNLY alone could induce aberrant expression of the E3 ubiquitin ligase PDZRN3, causing dysregulation of the ubiquitination of the cell itself. Consequently, this resulted in the persistent opening of gap junctions composed of connexin43, thereby intensifying cellular inflammation and apoptosis through the "bystander effect". This study provides experimental evidence elucidating the mechanisms of THS skin damage and offers a novel theoretical foundation for the development of effective therapies targeting severe dermatitis induced by chemicals or drugs.

Abstract
Trichloroethylene-induced hypersensitivity dermatitis (TIHD) is a delayed hypersensitivity response that is affected by genetic and environmental factors. Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) enhances antigen presentation, leading to hypersensitivity in workers with the HLA-B* 13:01 allele. Several studies have observed the activation of herpesviruses, such as EpsteinBarr virus (EBV), in TIHD patients. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of herpesvirus infection. This study aimed to explore whether TLRs serve as a shared mechanism for both herpesvirus and allergenic chemicals. In this study, HLA-B* 13:01-transfected Hmy2. A C1R cell model was constructed, and cells were treated with TCOH and EBV to explore the possible mechanisms. We established a mouse model of dermatitis and used a TLR4 agonist to verify the effect of herpesvirus on TIHD. The results showed that EBV and TCOH synergistically enhance antigen processing and presentation via the TLR2/NF-κB axis. Furthermore, TLR4 agonist further aggravated skin lesions and liver damage in TCE-sensitized mice through TLR4/NF-κB axis-mediated antigen processing and presentation. Together, this study indicates that viral infection further aggravates the inflammatory response in TIHD based on environment-gene interactions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) is a ubiquitous lymphotropic betaherpesvirus that can reactivate in drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). Despite recent publications advancing our understanding of HHV-6 in DRESS, the exact role of HHV-6 in disease pathogenesis remains unclear. METHODS A scoping review with the PubMed query "(HHV 6 AND (drug OR DRESS OR DIHS)) OR (HHV6 AND (drug OR DRESS OR DIHS))" was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Articles containing original data on at least one DRESS patient with HHV-6 testing were included. RESULTS Our search returned a total of 373 publications, of which 89 met eligibility criteria. HHV-6 reactivation occurred in 63% of DRESS patients (n = 748), which was significantly more often than other herpesviruses. HHV-6 reactivation was associated with worse outcomes and greater severity in controlled studies. Case reports have demonstrated sometimes fatal HHV-6-related multi-organ involvement. Temporally, HHV-6 reactivation typically occurs 2 to 4 weeks after DRESS onset and has been linked to markers of immunologic signaling, such as OX40 (CD134), an HHV-6 entry receptor. Efficacy of antiviral or immunoglobulin treatment has only been demonstrated anecdotally, and steroid use may affect HHV-6 reactivation. CONCLUSION HHV-6 is implicated in DRESS more than in any other dermatologic condition. It is still unclear whether HHV-6 reactivation is cause or consequence of DRESS dysregulation. Similar pathogenic mechanisms precipitated by HHV-6 in other contexts may be relevant in DRESS. Future randomized controlled studies to assess effects of viral suppression on clinical outcomes is needed.

Abstract
Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) causes a systemic skin disorder with hepatitis known as TCE hypersensitivity syndrome (TCE-HS). Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-B*13:01 is its susceptibility factor; however, the immunological pathogenesis of TCE-HS remains unknown. We herein examined the hypothesis that autoantibodies to CYP2E1 are primarily involved in TCE-HS. A case–control study of 80 TCE-HS patients, 186 TCE-tolerant controls (TCE-TC), and 71 TCE-nonexposed controls (TCE-nonEC) was conducted to measure their serum anti-CYP2E1 antibody (IgG) levels. The effects of TCE exposure indices, such as 8-h time-weighted-average (TWA) airborne concentrations, urinary metabolite concentrations, and TCE usage duration; sex; smoking and drinking habits; and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels on the antibody levels were also analyzed in the two control groups. There were significant differences in anti-CYP2E1 antibody levels among the three groups: TCE-TC > TCE-HS patients > TCE-nonEC. Antibody levels were not different between HLA-B*13:01 carriers and noncarriers in TCE-HS patients and TCE-TC. The serum CYP2E1 measurement suggested increased immunocomplex levels only in patients with TCE-HS. Multiple regression analysis for the two control groups showed that the antibody levels were significantly higher by the TCE exposure. Women had higher antibody levels than men; however, smoking, drinking, and ALT levels did not affect the anti-CYP2E1 antibody levels. Anti-CYP2E1 antibodies were elevated at concentrations lower than the TWA concentration of 2.5 ppm for TCE exposure. Since HLA-B*13:01 polymorphism was not involved in the autoantibody levels, the possible mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of TCE-HS is that TCE exposure induces anti-CYP2E1 autoantibody production, and HLA-B*13:01 is involved in the development of TCE-HS.

Abstract
We have previously shown trichloroethylene (TCE) induced immune liver injury, and TNF-α/TNFR1 pathway as a probably mechanism underlying the immune damage, but the pathogenic mechanism is still unclear. The study aims to investigate whether TNF-α and its receptors regulate Kupffer cell polarization and downstream inflammation signaling pathways during TCE sensitization, to clarify the mechanism of TCE-mediated immune liver injury. 6-8 weeks old SPF BALB/c female mice were used to establish a TCE sensitization model. We found that in the TCE sensitization positive group, liver injury was aggravated, Kupffer cells activated and polarized to M1 type. The expression of M1 Kupffer cell marker proteins CD11c and CD16/32 increased in the TCE positive group, so did TNF-α and TNFR1 in liver. The expression of P-IKK protein, PP65 protein and P-STAT3 protein increased in the TCE sensitization positive group, and the downstream inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-6 also increased in the TCE sensitization positive group. After using the TNFR1 inhibitor R7050, we found that M1 Kupffer cell polarization, TNF-α expression, signal pathway expression and inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-6 expression declined, and the liver damage relieved. Briefly, the use of R7050 to inhibit TNF-α/TNFR1 changing the polarization of liver M1 Kupffer cell, thereby inhibiting the activation of related downstream signaling pathways and reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors. TNF-α/TNFR1 regulates the polarization of M1 Kupffer cells inflammatory play an important role in liver immune damage.

Abstract
Drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) syndrome, also known as drug induced hypersensitivity (DiHS) syndrome is a severe delayed hypersensitivity reaction with potentially fatal consequences. Whilst recognised as T cell-mediated, our understanding of the immunopathogenesis of this syndrome remains incomplete. Here, we discuss models of DRESS, including the role of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and how observations derived from new molecular techniques adopted in key studies have informed our mechanism-based understanding of the central role of Herpesviridae reactivation and heterologous immunity in these disorders.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2020; 191:109972. [PMID: 32758551 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2020.109972] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2020] [Revised: 06/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/17/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
Occupational trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure can cause hypersensitivity syndrome (TCE-HS). The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*13:01 is reportedly an important allele involved in TCE-HS onset. However, the threshold exposure level causing TCE-HS in relation to HLA-B*13:01 remains unknown. We conducted a case-control study comprising 37 TCE-HS patients and 97 age- and sex-matched TCE-tolerant controls from the Han Chinese population. Urine and blood of patients were collected on the first day of hospitalization, and those of controls were collected at the end of their shifts. Urinary trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was measured as an exposure marker, and end-of-shift levels in the patients were estimated using the biological half-life of 83.7 h. HLA-B genotype was identified using DNA from blood. Crude odds ratios (ORs) for TCE-HS in the groups with urinary TCA concentration >15 mg/L to ≤50 mg/L and of >50 mg/L were 21.9 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.2-114.1] and 27.6 (6.1-125.8), respectively, when the group with urinary TCA ≤15 mg/L was used as a reference. The frequency of HLA-B*13:01, the most common allele in the patients, was 62.2% (23/37), which was significantly higher than 17.5% (17/97) in the TCE-tolerant controls, with a crude OR of 8.4 (3.1-22.6). The mutually-adjusted ORs for urinary TCA >15 to ≤50 mg/L, >50 mg/L, and for HLA-B*13:01 were 33.4 (4.1-270.8), 34.0 (5.3-217.1), and 11.0 (2.4-50.7), respectively. In conclusion, reduction of TCE exposure to ≤15 mg/L is required for TCE-HS prevention because urinary TCA concentration >15 mg/L showed increased risk of TCE-HS, regardless of whether the patients had the HLA-B*13:01 allele.

Abstract
METHODS 36 female BALB/c mice were selected and randomly divided the mice into four groups. We established a BALB/c mouse model of TCE sensitization and pretreatment with GdCl3 (40 mg/kg) by intraperitoneal injection during the during the 17th and 19th days. RESULTS We found F4/80, the marker of Kupffer cell, was increased in TCE positive group. GdCl3 treatment successfully blocked the activation of Kupffer cell. TNF-α was increased significantly in liver of TCE sensitized mice and decreased significantly when low-dose GdCl3 was used. We found TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) was increased significantly and GdCl3 treatment resumed the expression of TNFR1 to normal level, as well as the F4/80, TNF-α and TNFR1 mRNA. We also found both caspase-8 and caspase-3 increased in TCE positive group and decreased in TCE + GdCl3 positive group. The number of apoptotic cells in TCE sensitized mice increased by TUNEL staining, and GdCl3 treatment alleviated this increase. Some cells showed edema and inflammatory cell aggregation in liver of TCE positive group, while in the TCE + GdCl3 positive group, the cytoplasm became loose and vacuole-like degeneration occurred. CONCLUSION Our study unveils cross-talk between Kupffer cell activation and TNFR1 which mediate apoptosis in liver of TCE sensitized mice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Trichloroethylene (TCE) -induced hypersensitivity syndrome (TIHS) is a potentially life-threatening disease. Several genetic susceptibility biomarkers have been found to be associated with TIHS, and this systematic prospective study has been conducted to evaluate the utility of these genetic susceptibility biomarkers in preventing the disease. METHODS The newly hired TCE-exposed workers were recruited from March 2009 to October 2010. HLA-B*13:01 genotyping and 3-month follow-up procedure were conducted. All workers were monitored for adverse reaction by telephone interview every week. The workers with early symptoms of TIHS were asked to go to the hospital immediately for further examination, diagnosis and treatment. The medical expense record data of patients with TIHS were collected for cost-effectiveness analysis in 2018. RESULTS Among 1651 workers, 158 (9.57%) were found to carry the HLA-B*13:01 allele and 16 (0.97%) were diagnosed with TIHS. HLA-B*13:01 allele was significantly associated with an increased TIHS risk (relative risk=28.4, 95% CI 9.2 to 86.8). As a risk predictor of TIHS, HLA-B*13:01 testing had a sensitivity of 75%, a specificity of 91.1% and an area under curve of 0.83 (95% CI 0.705 to 0.955), the positive and negative predictive values were 7.6% and 99.7%, respectively. The incidence of TIHS was significantly decreased in HLA-B*13:01 non-carriers (0.27%) compared with all workers (0.97%, p=0.014). Cost-effectiveness analysis showed that HLA-B*13:01 screening could produce an economic saving of $4604 per TIHS avoided. CONCLUSIONS Prospective HLA-B*13:01 screening may significantly reduce the incidence of TIHS and could be a cost effective option for preventing the disease in TCE-exposed workers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) induces trichloroethylene hypersensitivity syndrome (TCEHS), which causes hypersensitivity dermatitis and hepatitis. However, whether TCE itself or its two metabolites, trichloroethanol (TCEOH) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA), are involved in TCEHS remains unclear. Therefore, in this study we explored the allergens causing TCEHS and characterized TCEHS-related liver injury in guinea pigs. METHOD The guinea pig maximization test was performed using TCE, TCEOH, and TCA as candidate allergens. Skin inflammation was scored, and liver function and histopathological changes were evaluated by biochemical tests and hematoxylin and eosin staining, respectively. RESULTS The sensitization rates for TCE, TCEOH, and TCA were 90.0%, 50.0%, and 0.0%, respectively. In the TCE and TCEOH experimental groups, the skin showed varying degrees of erythema with eosinophil granulocyte infiltration in the dermis. Additionally, serum alanine aminotransferase and γ-glutamyl transpeptidase levels increased significantly, and histological analysis revealed focal hepatocellular necrosis with inflammatory cell infiltration in the liver. CONCLUSIONS TCE is the main cause of allergy and TCEOH is a secondary factor for allergy in guinea pigs. TCE and TCEOH can cause immune-mediated skin sensitization complicated by focal hepatic necrosis.

ECOTOXICOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 2019; 186:109772.

Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a common organic solvent which can cause TCE hypersensitivity syndrome (THS) in exposure workers. THS is an adverse skin disorder with severe inflammatory kidney damage. Complement C3a receptor (C3aR) acts as a specific receptor for the key complement cleavage product C3a and involves multiple inflammatory responses, but the role of C3aR in TCE induced kidney inflammatory injury remains unknown. In this study, BALB/c mouse model of skin sensitization induced by TCE was set up in the presence or absence of C3aR antagonist (C3aRA). Kidney pathology and renal function, expression of inflammatory mediators and C3aR, changes in Th17 cell numbers, and activation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in the kidney were examined. TCE sensitization produced histopathological and functional damage to the kidney, accompanied by increased levels of interleukin (IL-) 1β, IL-6, and IL-23. Local accumulation of Th17 cells and enhanced phosphorylation of STAT3 were also seen in the impaired kidney in TCE sensitization-positive mice. C3aR was mainly located in the impaired glomerulus and upregulated in TCE sensitization-positive mice. C3aRA pretreatment alleviated the structural and functional kidney damage and the inflammatory cytokine and Th17 responses by TCE sensitization, and specifically reduced the phosphorylation of STAT3. Together, our results demonstrate that C3aR signaling promotes the inflammatory responses and regulates the accumulation of Th17 phenotype via phosphorylation of STAT3 in TCE sensitization induced inflammatory kidney damage. C3aR may serve as a potential therapeutic target in TCE sensitization mediated kidney injury.

The critical role for TAK1 in trichloroethylene-induced contact hypersensitivity in vivo and in CD4 + T cell function alteration by trichloroethylene and its metabolites in vitro. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2019; 380:114705. [PMID: 31400415 DOI: 10.1016/j.taap.2019.114705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2019] [Revised: 07/22/2019] [Accepted: 08/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Occupational exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE) has been associated with severe, generalized contact hypersensitivity (CHS) skin disorder, which is considered a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction mediated by antigen-specific T cells. Transforming growth factor-β activated kinase-1 (TAK1) is essential for regulating the development and effector function of T cells. We hypothesized that disrupting TAK1 activity might inhibit TCE-induced CHS response. In this study, a local lymph node assay was employed to build a CHS model induced by TCE combined with the inducible-TAK1 deletion system to study the effect of TAK1 on it. It was observed that TAK1 deficiency ameliorated the TCE-induced CHS response and was associated with defective T cell expansion and activation and IFN-γ production in vivo. Furthermore, we investigated the effects of TCE and its metabolites trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) on CD4+ T cell function and the effect of TAK1 on it in vitro. The results showed that TCE, TCA and DCA augmented the proliferation, activation and differentiation of CD4+ T cells through Jnk MAPK and NF-κB pathways. TAK1 deletion significantly attenuated these effects induced by TCE, TCA or DCA on CD4+ T cells. In conclusion, it is suggested that TAK1 plays a critical role both in TCE-induced CHS response in vivo and in TCE and its metabolite-induced CD4+ T cell activation in vitro. Local inhibition of TAK1 might offer a promising alternative feasible strategy for TCE-induced CHS.

Abstract
PURPOSE Occupational trichloroethylene hypersensitivity syndrome (OTHS) clinically manifests as generalized severe rash resembling drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) and afflicts predominantly HLA-B*13:01 gene carriers after their exposure to trichloroethylene. Meanwhile, OTHS may also be associated with human herpesvirus such as herpesvirus-6 (HHV6) and cytomegalovirus (HCMV) reported to participate in the pathology of DIHS. This study explored the association of carrying HHV6 and HCMV, and the joint association of carrying HLA-B*13:01 and HHV6 and HCMV with OTHS. METHODS We recruited 30 OTHS patients and 40 trichloroethylene-exposed healthy workers as cases and controls, respectively. HLA-B*13:01 was genotyped and HHV6 and HCMV DNA were detected in the DNA extracted from whole-blood sample of each participant with PCR techniques. Positive rates of HLA-B*13:01 gene and HHV6 and HCMV DNA and their association with OTHS were then analyzed. RESULTS The OTHS cases showed significantly higher positive rates of HLA-B*13:01 gene and HHV6 DNA, but not HCMV DNA, than the controls (83.3% vs. 25.0% and 56.7% vs. 10.0%, respectively, both P < 0.001). Positive rate of HHV6 DNA was significantly higher in HLA-B*13:01 carriers than in non-carriers in the cases (68.0% vs. 0, P = 0.005), but not in the controls. Carrying HLA-B*13:01 and HHV6 had an interactive effect on OTHS (OR = 91.80, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Carrying HLA-B*13:01 and HHV6 may be associated with OTHS; furthermore, carrying HLA-B*13:01 and HHV6 may be jointly associated with OTHS.

Abstract
We have previously shown trichloroethylene (TCE) induced occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to TCE (OMLDT) with immune liver injury, and kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) activation as a probably mechanism underlying the immune damage. Bradykinin (BK) is an important active component of KKS system function, but the specific role of BK in the immune liver injury has never been examined. The present study aimed to explore the important role of BK and mechanisms of action in immune liver injury induced by TCE. TCE sensitization significantly increased the expression of BK receptor (B2R) in the liver. Compared to blank and vehicle control group, TCE sensitization positive mice developed exacerbated liver injury evidenced by elevated AST, ALT levels and hepatocyte damage. TCE sensitization also stimulated MAPK and STAT3 activation in liver tissue. B2R antagonist HOE140 ameliorated these changes. Kupffer cells (KCs) of the liver were also activated following TCE sensitization; both CD68+ KCs and CD16/CD32+ M1 type KCs were increased in TCE positive group. Further experiments isolated the KCs from the liver in each group and showed that TCE sensitization resulted activation of MAPK signal pathway which in turn caused release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, in KCs; the antagonist HOE140 again decreased these changes in KCs. These results uncover a novel role of BK and B2R cross-talk in KCs activation in TCE sensitized mice, mediated by pro-inflammatory cytokine release via MAPK and STAT3 activation, contributing to the immune liver injury.

Abstract
Objectives: Kawasaki disease (KD) is one of the most common childhood vasculitides. Some serological studies have suggested an etiological relationship between KD and human herpesvirus (HHV)-6 or HHV-7. However, primary or reactivated HHV-6 and -7 has not been fully investigated in patients with KD. Methods: Twenty-three patients with KD were prospectively enrolled in this study. Peripheral blood was collected in the acute and convalescence phases, and HHV-6 and -7 viral loads were measured by real-time PCR. Results: In the acute phase, HHV-6 and -7 DNA was detected in 7 (30%) patients each, compared to 13 (57%) and 9 (39%) patients in the convalescence phase, respectively. HHV-6 and -7 DNA loads were significantly higher in the convalescence phase than in the acute phase. Significant increases in HHV-6 and -7 DNA loads were not observed in disease control patients. Taking into account HHV-6 and -7 serostatus, reactivation of HHV-6 and -7 was observed in 7 and 9 patients, respectively. KD patients with HHV-6 reactivation showed higher C-reactive protein levels and more frequently required steroid therapies than patients without reactivation. Conclusion: HHV-6 and -7 reactivation is frequent in KD patients. HHV-6 reactivation might exacerbate the severity of KD.

Abstract
Occupational trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure can induce life-threatening generalized dermatitis accompanied by hepatitis: TCE hypersensitivity syndrome (HS). Since the patients' exposure levels have not been fully clarified, this study estimated end-of-shift urinary concentrations of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and their lower limit below which the disease occurrence was rare. TCA concentration was measured in 78 TCE HS patients whose urine was collected at admission between 2nd and 14th d after their last shift. Then a linear regression model was used to calculate the mean TCA concentration with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) and 95% prediction interval (95% PI) in the end-of-shift urine. The estimated mean concentration was 83 (95% CI, 49-140) mg/l with 95% PI 9.6-720 mg/l. TCA concentrations were also measured in the end-of-shift urine of 38 healthy workers involved in the same job as were the patients. The geometric mean and its 95% CI were 127 mg/l and 16-984 mg/l, respectively. The exposure levels in HS patients might have thus overlapped with those in workers without HS. Accordingly, it was suggested that HS occurred in the environment where the workers were exposed to the TCE concentration corresponding to the urinary TCA concentration as low as 10 mg/l.

Abstract
Occupational trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure can induce hypersensitivity dermatitis and severe liver injury. Recently, several clinical investigations indicate that viral infection, such as human herpesvirus-6, is associated with hepatic dysfunction in patients with TCE-related generalized skin disorders. However, whether viral infection potentiates TCE-induced liver injury remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the contribution of viral infection to the development of TCE-sensitization-induced liver injury in BALB/c mice. Female BALB/c mice were randomly assigned into four groups: solvent control group (n = 20), TCE group (n = 80), poly(I:C) group (n = 20) and combination of TCE and poly(I:C) (poly(I:C)+TCE) group (n = 80). Poly(I:C) (50 μg) was i.p. administrated. TCE and poly(I:C)+TCE groups were further divided into sensitization and non-sensitization subgroup. Complement 3 and C3a protein levels, and complement factors were measured. Combination treatment significantly enhanced TCE-induced liver injury, decreased complement 3, but increased C3a in serum and liver tissues in sensitization group. These changes were not correlated with the hepatic complement 3 transcription. Moreover, combination treatment specifically promoted complement factor B, but not factor D and factor H expressions. These data provide first evidence that poly(I:C) potentiates liver injury in BALB/c mouse model of TCE-sensitization. Upregulated C3a and factor B contributes to the poly(I:C) action in TCE-induced liver injury. This new mode of action may explain increased risk of chemical-sensitization induced tissue damage by viral infection.

Role of selective blocking of bradykinin B1 receptor in attenuating immune liver injury in trichloroethylene-sensitized mice. Cytokine 2018; 108:71-81. [PMID: 29579546 DOI: 10.1016/j.cyto.2018.03.024] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2017] [Revised: 03/02/2018] [Accepted: 03/19/2018] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
Trichloroethylene (TCE) is able to induce trichloroethylene hypersensitivity syndrome (THS) with multi-system immune injuries. In our previous study, we found kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) activation, including the bradykinin B1 receptor (B1R), which contributed to immune organ injury in TCE sensitized mice. However, the mechanism of B1R mediating immune dysfunction is not clarified. The present study initiates to investigate the potential mechanism of B1R on liver injury. We establish a TCE sensitized BALB/c mouse model to explore the mechanism with or without a B1R inhibitor R715. We found B1R expression was increased in TCE sensitization-positive mice. As expect, hepatocyte intracellular organelles and mitochondria disappeared, glycogen particles reduced significantly as well in TCE sensitization-positive mice via the transmission electron microscopic examination, meanwhile, R715 alleviated the deteriorate above. The blockade of B1R resulted in a significant decreased p-ERK1/2 and increased p-AKT expression. The expression of CD68 kupffer cell and its relative cytokine, including IL-6 and TNF-α, increased in TCE sensitization-positive mice and decreased in R715 pretreatment TCE sensitization-positive mice. Together, the results demonstrate B1R plays a key role in ERK/MAPK and PI3K/AKT signal pathway activation and inflammation cytokine expression in immune liver injury induced by TCE. B1R exerts a pivotal role in the development of TCE induced liver injury.

Recent Advances in Drug-Induced Hypersensitivity Syndrome/Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms. J Immunol Res 2018; 2018:5163129.

Abstract
Drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS), also termed as drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), is a multiorgan systemic reaction characterized by a close relationship with the reactivation of herpes virus. Published data has demonstrated that among patients with DIHS/DRESS, 75–95% have leukocytosis, 18.2–90% show atypical lymphocytes, 52–95% have eosinophilia, and 75–100% have hepatic abnormalities. Histologically, eosinophils were observed less frequently than we expected (20%). The mainstay of DIHS/DRESS treatment is a moderate dose of systemic corticosteroids, followed by gradual dose reduction. In this review, we will emphasize that elevations in the levels of several cytokines/chemokines, including tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α and the thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), during the early stage of disease, are good markers allowing the early recognition of HHV-6 reactivation. TNF-α and TARC levels also reflect therapeutic responses and may be useful markers of the DIHS disease process. Recently, the pathogenic mechanism of T-cell activation triggered by human leukocyte antigen- (HLA-) restricted presentation of a drug or metabolites was elucidated. Additionally, we recently reported that dapsone would fit within the unique subpocket of the antigen-recognition site of HLA-B∗13:01. Further studies will render it possible to choose better strategies for DIHS prevention and therapy.

Abstract
The present study aimed to explore the stability, curability and sequelae of cases of Trichloroethylene (TCE) Hypersensitivity Syndrome (THS), and to investigate the causal allergens of THS. Two cases of THS were followed-up in the current study; both cases were healing following glucocorticoid therapy and were discharged >10 weeks prior to follow-up. A questionnaire investigation, health examination and patch test were performed. Allergens of TCE and its metabolites, including chloral hydrate, trichloroethanol (TCOH) and trichloroacetic acid, were applied in the patch test; 4 controls were included. The two subjects were experiencing itching, pigmentation and xerosis of the skin, and had abnormal results in the ophthalmology Schirmer I test and tear break-up time. The body temperature, liver function, superficial lymph nodes, blood, urine routine and autoimmune antibodies of two subjects were shown to be normal, and no new rashes had appeared. All mass concentration of chloral hydrate and TCOH were positive; 5.0% trichloroacetic acid was weakly positive, 0.5% trichloroacetic acid and all mass concentration of TCE were negative. All patch tests were negative in the 4 control subjects. The results suggest that THS was stable following treatment with glucocorticoid therapy. Dry eye syndrome may continue as a sequelae of THS. The patch test demonstrated that the mechanism underlying THS is delayed-type hypersensitivity induced by TCE. In addition, as the hypersensitivity state in a THS rehabilitee could be sustained over a long period of time, it suggests that the metabolites of TCE, not TCE itself, are responsible for THS. Therefore, patients with THS should avoid contact with TCE and its metabolites, and avoid using hypnotic and anticonvulsive drugs containing chloral hydra as the primary ingredient.

Abstract
Trichloroethylene induced hypersensitivity syndrome is dose-independent and potentially life threatening disease, which has become one of the serious occupational health issues and requires intensive treatment. To discover the genetic risk factors and evaluate the performance of risk prediction model for the disease, we conducted genomewide association study and replication study with total of 174 cases and 1761 trichloroethylene-tolerant controls. Fifty seven SNPs that exceeded the threshold for genome-wide significance (P < 5 × 10(-8)) were screened to relate with the disease, among which two independent SNPs were identified, that is rs2857281 at MICA (odds ratio, 11.92; P meta = 1.33 × 10(-37)) and rs2523557 between HLA-B and MICA (odds ratio, 7.33; P meta = 8.79 × 10(-35)). The genetic risk score with these two SNPs explains at least 20.9% of the disease variance and up to 32.5-fold variation in inter-individual risk. Combining of two SNPs as predictors for the disease would have accuracy of 80.73%, the area under receiver operator characteristic curves (AUC) scores was 0.82 with sensitivity of 74% and specificity of 85%, which was considered to have excellent discrimination for the disease, and could be considered for translational application for screening employees before exposure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical features, course, response to treatment, and outcome of lamotrigine induced drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome (DIHS) or drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS). METHODS A comprehensive PubMed and Scopus search (covering the period from January 1999 through April 2014) of the English and non-English literature (with English abstract) was conducted to identify published reports of severe cutaneous adverse reactions (SCARs) associated with lamotrigine therapy. RESULTS This study population included 57 patients, of whom 38 (66.67%) were female and 19 (33.33%) were male. The latency period varied from 9 days to 120 days, with a mean of 27.58 ± 20.65 days. Multisystem involvement was present in 97.37% (37/38) patients. Systemic corticosteroids were administered to (61.29%) 19/31 patients. 35/38 (92.11%) patients recovered completely, one patient developed liver failure and needed liver transplant, one died from septic shock and one died from multiple organ failure. CONCLUSIONS We found a greater predominance of women with LTG-DIHS/DRESS, and 68.42% patients were >18 years of age. The presenting symptoms in most of patients were fever, skin rash, liver involvement, hypereosinophilia, and lymphadenopathy. Lamotrigine is associated to a rather high risk of severe cutaneous adverse reactions and to the risk of dying from such reactions, likes many other anticonvulsants. Early recognition and withdrawal of the suspected agent may avoid irreversible damage to the organs will be life saving.

Abstract
Background We documented previously the entity of trichloroethylene (TCE) hypersensitivity syndrome (THS) in occupational workers. Objectives To identify the culprit causative compound, determine the type of hypersensitivity of THS, and establish a screening test for subjects at risk of THS. Methods TCE and its main metabolites chloral hydrate (CH), trichloroethanol (TCOH) and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were used as allergens at different concentrations in skin patch tests. The study included 19 case subjects diagnosed with occupational THS, 22 control healthy workers exposed to TCE (exposure >12 weeks), and 20 validation new workers exposed to TCE for <12 weeks free of THS. All subjects were followed-up for 12 weeks after the patch test. Results The highest patch test positive rate in subjects with THS was for CH, followed by TCOH, TCA and TCE. The CH patch test positive rate was 100% irrespective of CH concentrations (15%, 10% and 5%). The TCOH patch test positive rate was concentration-dependent (89.5%, 73.7% and 52.6% for 5%, 0.5% and 0.05%, respectively). Lower patch test positive rates were noted for TCA and TCE. All patch tests (including four allergens) were all negative in each of the 22 control subjects. None of the subjects of the validation group had a positive 15% CH patch test. Conclusions Chloral hydrate seems to be the culprit causative compound of THS and type IV seems to be the major type of hypersensitivity of THS. The CH patch test could be potentially useful for screening workers at risk of THS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sequential human herpes virus (HHV) reactivation is well known in drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptom (DRESS), but such a phenomenon has seldom studied in other types of cutaneous adverse drug reactions (cADRs). Moreover, the association between viral reactivations and cytokine or chemokine changes is largely unknown. We aimed to evaluate the viral reactivation rates of HHV-6, HHV-7, Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and cytomegalovirus (CMV) in different cADRs and their impacts on clinical prognosis. Cytokine and chemokine changes with viral reactivations were also examined. METHODS A prospective study was conducted to monitor the viral statuses of patients with different cADRs by polymerase chain reaction and serum-specific antibody titers. Changes in plasma cytokine and chemokine levels were also evaluated by sequential blood samples. RESULTS Among the various cADRs, HHV-6 reactivation was only observed in DRESS, but EBV and CMV could be detected in other cADRs. Many proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-6, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, were significantly lower in DRESS patients with HHV-6 reactivation when compared to those without HHV-6 reactivation. In addition, these mediators were significantly lower before and during HHV-6 reactivation, compared to cytokine levels after HHV-6 reactivation in the same patient. CONCLUSION HHV-6 reactivation was only observed in DRESS patients, not in any other cADR. In DRESS patients, some proinflammatory cytokines were significantly lower before or during HHV-6 reactivation.
