BACKGROUND: The etiology of ulcerative colitis (UC) remains elusive even though many genetic and environmental pathogenic factors have been reported. Aberrant inflammatory responses mediated by specific subsets of T cells have been observed in ulcerative lesions of UC patients.
OBJECTIVES: To elucidate the involvement of a delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in UC, we focused on dental metal hypersensitivity, a T cell-mediated, delayed-type allergic reaction that causes oral contact mucositis and systemic cutaneous inflammation.
METHOD: We recruited 65 Japanese UC patients and 22 healthy controls (HC) and used the in vitro lymphocyte stimulation test to quantify their sensitivity to zinc, gold, nickel, and palladium - the metals that have been widely used in dentistry. All subjects were users of metallic dental implants and/or prostheses containing zinc, gold, nickel, and/or palladium as major constituents.
RESULTS: Sixty percent of the UC patients were hypersensitive to at least one metal species, whereas 32% of the HC were hypersensitive to only a single metal species. The overall incidence of metal hypersensitivity was significantly higher for UC patients than for HC. Furthermore, a significantly greater proportion of UC patients were hypersensitive to nickel or palladium. The severity of the sensitivity to nickel and palladium was also significantly greater for UC patients than for HC.
CONCLUSIONS: This pilot study demonstrates that UC patients have a significantly higher incidence of hypersensitivity to nickel and palladium, suggesting the possible involvement of dental metal hypersensitivity in UC pathogenesis.
