1 cis-Urocanic Acid Stimulates Primary Human Keratinocytes Independently of Serotonin or Platelet-Activating Factor Receptors  Kazuyo Kaneko, Jeffrey B. Travers, Mary S. Matsui, Antony R.

2 Figure 1 mRNA expression of 5HT2A and PAF receptors in primary human keratinocytes and fibroblasts. 5HT2A (open column) and PAF (shaded column) receptor mRNA expressions were quantified using real-time RT-PCR (TaqMan). The results are expressed as mean±SD of three donors. ND, not detected.

3 Figure 2 5HT receptor antagonist has no inhibitory effect on cis-urocanic acid-induced mediator production in primary human keratinocytes. Keratinocytes were pretreated with 10μM Metergoline (shaded column) or ethanol vehicle (open column) for 1hour before treatment with PBS, cis-UCA (700μM), or 5HT (1mM) for 24hours. Cell culture supernatants were collected and analyzed for (a) PGE2, (b) TNF-α, and (c) IL-6 by ELISA. The results are expressed as mean±SD (n=3) of one representative experiment of three. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001 compared with PBS control.

4 Figure 3 cis-Urocanic acid is unlikely to stimulate the PAF receptor and has minimal effects on PAF-receptor-mediated PGE2 production in the KB PAF receptor model system. (a) Calcium mobilization responses of PAF-receptor-positive KBP and PAF-receptor-negative KBM cells in response to cis-UCA and trans-UCA (140μM) and PAF (100nM). Fluorescence intensity of Ca2+-sensitive dye Fura-2 was measured over time with a spectrophotofluorometer. The data represent one of three independent experiments. (b) Displacement of radioligand binding (10nM [3H]WEB2086) from the PAF receptor by cis-UCA (50–500μM) and trans-UCA (500μM), and by PAF (1μM) in KBP cells. (c) PGE2 release from KBP (shaded column) and KBM (open column) cells treated with PBS, cis-UCA (70 and 700μM) or trans-UCA (700μM), or with PAF (100nM) for 24hours. PGE2 concentrations in cell culture supernatants were assessed by ELISA. Results are expressed as mean±SD (n=3) of one representative experiment of three. ***P<0.001 compared with PBS control. NS, not significant. Journal of Investigative Dermatology  , DOI: ( /jid ) Copyright © 2009 The Society for Investigative Dermatology, Inc Terms and Conditions

5 Figure 4 PAF receptor antagonist does not inhibit PGE2 increase by cis-urocanic acid in primary human keratinocytes. Keratinocytes were pretreated with 10μM ABT-491 (shaded column) or with water vehicle (open column) for 1hour before treatment with PBS, cis-UCA (70 or 700μM), or PAF (1μM) for 24hours. Cell culture supernatants were collected and analyzed for PGE2 by ELISA. Results are expressed as mean±SD (n=3) of one representative experiment of three. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, and ***P<0.001 compared with PBS control.
