BACKGROUND: Bexarotene, a novel synthetic retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective retinoid, has been reported to have antiproliferative and apoptotic stimulating effects in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. In benign, hyperproliferative, and retinoid sensitive disorders, such as psoriasis, bexarotene has not been evaluated so far and no information on these parameters is available.

OBJECTIVE: In the present study, immunohistochemical parameters for proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, and apoptosis were investigated in a group of bexarotene-treated psoriatic patients.

METHODS: Twenty-nine patients with plaque-type psoriasis were treated for 12 weeks with oral bexarotene in four dose-defined treatment panels. Treatment was initiated in the following consecutive order: 1.0 mg/kg/day, 2.0 mg/kg/day, 0.5 mg/kg/day, and 3.0 mg/kg/day. Biopsies for immunohistochemical analysis were taken at the baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment.

RESULTS: Significant reductions in Ki-67, keratin 16, transglutaminase, dermal CD4, epidermal CD8, and inflammation scores were seen after bexarotene treatment in combination with a significant increase in keratin 10. No induction of keratin 13 and 19 and no alterations in apoptosis associated p53 expression were observed. Apart from a weak significant dose-response effect for Ki-67, no other significant dose-response effects were seen.

CONCLUSION: We have demonstrated efficacy of oral bexarotene in psoriasis in doses up to 3.0 mg/kg/day during 12 weeks of treatment for proliferation, differentiation, and inflammation parameters. Studies investigating higher doses of bexarotene in a larger number of patients are necessary to reveal potentially dose-related immunohistochemical effects of this new rexinoid and to elucidate the role of RXR-signaling in retinoid-associated keratin expression.
