Description of Acitretin

Acitretin is a second-generation aromatic retinoid drug. Acitretin binds to Retinoic Acid Receptor (RAR) α/β/γ and retinoid X receptor (RXR) to regulate gene transcription. Acitretin reduces inflammation by downregulating the expression of inflammatory factors such as IL-6, MRP-8, and IFN-γ and inhibiting neutrophil chemotaxis. Acitretin can be used for research on keratinization disorders including severe plaque psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, erythrodermic psoriasis, Darier disease, pityriasis rubra pilaris, and congenital ichthyosis, as well as chemoprevention of non-melanoma skin cancer after organ transplantation[1-4].

In vitro, SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 10μM Acitretin for 4 days. Acitretin promoted cell differentiation into neuron-like cells with discharge function. Acitretin upregulated the expression of β-tubulin III and NFH[5]. HaCaT cells were treated with 5μM Acitretin for 12-72 hours. Acitretin inhibited cell proliferation, downregulated STAT1, STAT3, SOCS1, and SOCS3 mRNA and protein expression[6]. SCL-1 cells were treated with 10μM Acitretin. Acitretin inhibited cell proliferation, induced cell apoptosis[7].

In vivo, a psoriasis BALB/c mouse model received 400μL 0.3mg/mL Acitretin by gavage once daily for 7 days. Acitretin improved the psoriasiform dermatitis phenotype, reduced the total Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score, reduced IL-23a, IL-6, and Ki67 expression in skin lesions, increased Involucrin expression[8]. A sepsis C57BL/6J mouse model received intraperitoneal injection of 10mg/kg Acitretin for 3 days. Acitretin reduced total cell counts and protein levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, reduced the lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, attenuated alveolar wall thickening and immune cell infiltration, improved the survival rate, improved dynamic lung compliance and airway resistance[9]. C57BL6/J OlaHsd mice received intraperitoneal injection of 10mg/kg Acitretin for 7 days. Acitretin increased liver triglyceride, total cholesterol, and free cholesterol content[10].

Protocol of Acitretin

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

HaCaT cells (human immortal keratinocyte cell line)

Preparation Method

HaCaT cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 100U/mL streptomycin and 10% heat-inactivated fetal bovine serum at 37°C, 5% CO2. HaCaT cells were treated with 5μM Acitretin for 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. Cell viability was assessed by MTS assay. STAT1, STAT3, SOCS1 and SOCS3 mRNA and protein expression were determined by Q-PCR and Western blot.

Reaction Conditions

5μM; 12-72 hours

Applications

Acitretin inhibited HaCaT cells proliferation, down-regulated STAT1, STAT3, SOCS1 and SOCS3 mRNA and protein expression.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

C57BL/6J mice

Preparation Method

Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10mg/kg Acitretin or PBS for three consecutive days. Six hours after the final drug administration, mice were intraperitoneally injected with 10mg/kg lipopolysaccharide to induce sepsis. Twelve hours post-administration, mice were sacrificed and samples were collected. Survival analysis was performed by intraperitoneal injection of 30mg/kg lipopolysaccharide and monitoring for 96h. Lung function was assessed using whole-body plethysmography.

Dosage form

10mg/kg; i.p.; three consecutive days

Applications

Acitretin reduced total cell counts, protein levels, neutrophils and macrophages accumulation, and IL-1β levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum, decreased lung wet-to-dry weight ratio, improved survival rate, dynamic lung compliance and airway resistance, attenuated inflammatory cell recruitment and structural damage in lung parenchyma, inhibited IL-1β release, caspase-1 p20 production and GSDMD cleavage in alveolar macrophages, and reduced markers of liver, heart and kidney injury in mice.
