BACKGROUND: Drug-induced toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) probably results from a complex and specific immune cell reaction involving lymphocytes and macrophages.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the functional role of macrophages in TEN.
METHODS: Immunohistochemistry was performed on biopsies from early blisters developed in 9 TEN patients. The amount of extracellular myeloperoxidase (MPO) was measured by ELISA in TEN blister fluid and serum. Controls were blister fluids taken from 9 second-degree burns. In addition, 3-chlorotyrosine (a specific marker of MPO activity) was searched for using liquid mass chromatography both in TEN and burn blister fluids.
RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry revealed numerous CD68+ macrophages in 8/9 TEN patients; 5-20% of these cells and rare CD15+ neutrophils exhibited MPO immunoreactivity, while keratinocytes were negative. The amount of MPO was significantly higher in TEN blister fluid than in TEN serum, suggesting macrophage production of MPO in the skin. In addition, MPO was significantly more abundant in TEN blister fluid than in burn blister fluid. 3-Chlorotyrosine was detected in 7/9 TEN blister fluids, but in only 2/9 burn blister fluids.
DISCUSSION: MPO produced by macrophages was functionally active in most TEN patients, leading to the production of hypochlorous acid, a potent oxidative compound that alters keratinocytes.
