Abstract
Fibroblasts are responsible for the synthesis and degradation of various connective tissue
components and soluble mediators of extracellular matrix metabolism. Few studies
have been conducted concerning the expression of toll-like receptors (TLRs) in fibroblasts
until now. This study aimed first to determine the quantitative expression of
TLRs 1 to 10 in human skin fibroblasts and secondarily to explore any influence of expression
by histamine, which is a well-known factor engaged in dermal inflammation.
It was found that all 10 TLRs were expressed in fibroblasts. Interestingly, the expression
of TLRs 4, 5, and 10 was increased after 2 and 6 hours of histamine treatment
during culture. However, the expression of TLRs 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 was decreased after
6 hours of histamine treatment. Among the TLRs with a decreasing expression pattern,
TLRs 7 and 8 showed a persistent tendency to decrease. All of these changes in TLR
expression with histamine treatment were antagonized by treatment with diphenhydramine,
a well-known antihistamine. Thus, these results suggest a role of histamine
in the early phase of the dermal inflammatory reaction mediated by TLRs.
