BACKGROUND: Many drugs are known to induce allergic reactions in the skin. The metabolic activation of drugs resulting in the formation of protein adducts is thought to be a first step in the induction of these allergic reactions. We postulated that dermal tissue might be a site of drug activation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) isozymes. METHODS: Messenger RNA was extracted from cultured Langerhans cells, keratinocytes, fibroblasts and melanocytes from 6 individuals, and CYP mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR. RESULTS: CYP1A1, 1B1 and 2E1 were found in all four cell types. CYP2A6, 2C, 2D6, 3A5, 3A7 and 4B1 mRNA was expressed in a cell-type- and/or individual-specific manner. CYP1A2, 2A7, 2B6 and 3A4 mRNA was not detectable. CONCLUSIONS: The mRNA for a variety of CYP isozymes was expressed in all four types of skin cells examined. These CYP enzymes may be involved in the pathogenesis of drug-induced allergic reactions in the skin. Copyright 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel
