Abstract
- Abstract Basidiomycetes-X (BDM-X) is a novel edible mushroom recently identified as a new fungi species and is effective against oxidative stress and anti-inflammation associated with immune response. However the effect of BDM-X on atopic dermatitis (AD) has not been elucidated. In this study, we have investigated the effect of BDM-X on AD skin lesions in NC/Nga mouse model. AD-like lesion was induced by the application of house dust mite extract (DfE) to the dorsal skin of NC/Nga mouse. After AD induction, BDM-X was administered once daily for 2 weeks. We have analyzed the effects of BDM-X on dermatitis severity, histopathological changes and changes in inflammatory and proinflammatory proteins expressions in DfE induced AD mice skin. Treatment with BDM-X attenuated the development of AD-like clinical symptoms and effectively inhibited hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, acanthosis and mast cells in AD mice skin. Furthermore, BDM-X treatment inhibited DfE induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, high mobility group protein (HMG)B1, nuclear factor kappa (NFκ)B and inflammatory cytokines. These results indicate that BDM-X inhibits AD through modulating Th1 and Th2 responses and diminishing the mast cells infiltration in the skin lesions in NC/Nga mice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
