Abstract:To explore whether fat transplantation can improve the symptoms of the mouse model of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) induced by dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) as well as its possible mecha-nism. Methods ACD mouse models were randomly divided into group A (fat transplantation group), group B(pseudo surgery group), group C (medication group) and group D (spontaneously-recovered model group). The HE-stained skin tissues of each group were observed under light microscope. The expression levels of IL-10, IL-17 and IFN-γmRNAs in the skin lesions were detected by qRT-PCR. Results In the groups A and C,the horny layers became thinner, and the thickness of epidermis recovered to normal while there were no overt changes in the groups B and D. The expression levels of IL-10 and IL-17 mRNAs in the skin tissues of the groups A and C were clearly lower than those of the group D, the level of IFN-γmRNA was higher than that of the group D (p < 0.05); however, there was no significant changes in the IL-10, IL-17 or IFN-γ mRNA level between the groups B and D. Conclusions Fat transplantation can decrease the expression levels of IL-10 and IL-17 in skin lesions, promote the production of IFN-γ, reduce the symptoms of skin lesions and promote the recovery of skin lesions in the mouse model.
