Tachyphylaxis to topically applied steroids

A du Vivier

    Archives of Dermatology
    |September 1, 1976

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Topical steroids initially inhibit skin cell growth but the skin becomes tolerant with continued use. This finding suggests optimizing steroid therapy to improve efficacy and reduce side effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Pharmacology
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Acute tolerance to topical glucocorticoids' vasoconstrictive effects in humans is known.
    • Glucocorticoids are widely used for inflammatory skin conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate acute tolerance to the antiproliferative effects of topical steroids in mouse epidermis.
    • To determine if similar tolerance occurs with steroid treatment impacting cell proliferation.

    Main Methods:

    • Hairless mice were treated with topical steroids.
    • DNA synthesis and mitosis in the epidermis were measured.
    • Changes in cellular proliferation were assessed over time.

    Main Results:

    • Topical steroids initially caused significant inhibition of DNA synthesis and mitosis.

  • With continued treatment, epidermal DNA synthesis and mitosis recovered.
  • The mouse epidermis became less sensitive to further antiproliferative effects.

    • Conclusions:

    • Acute tolerance to the antiproliferative effects of topical steroids occurs in mouse epidermis.
    • This tolerance phenomenon may inform therapeutic strategies for topical steroid use.
    • Optimizing topical steroid application could enhance treatment effectiveness and minimize adverse effects.
