Abstract

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and relapsing skin disorder with pruritic skin symptoms. We previously reported that dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) prevented the development of AD in NC/Tnd mice, though the mechanism remained unclear.

Objective: We attempted to investigate the mechanism of preventive effect of DGLA on AD development in NC/Tnd mice.

Methods: The clinical outcomes of NC/Tnd mice that were given diets containing DGLA, arachidonic acid, or eicosapentaenoic acid were compared. Lipid mediator contents in the skin in each group were also quantified. In addition, release of lipid mediators from RBL-2H3 mast cells treated with either DGLA or prostaglandin D1 (PGD1) was measured. Furthermore, effect of PGD1 on gene expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in PAM212 keratinocyte cells was determined.

Results: Only DGLA containing diet suppressed the development of dermatitis in vivo. By quantifying the 20-carbon fatty acid-derived eicosanoids in the skin, the application of DGLA was found to upregulate PGD1, which correlated with a better outcome in NC/Tnd mice. Moreover, we confirmed that mast cells produced PGD1 after DGLA exposure, thereby exerting a suppressive effect on immunoglobulin E-mediated degranulation. PGD1 also suppressed gene expression of TSLP in keratinocytes.

Conclusion: These results suggest that oral administration of DGLA causes preventive effects on AD development in NC/Tnd mice by regulating the PGD1 supply.
