Definitions
- the present invention is directed to skin-penetrating compositions for the treatment of a localized immune- or inflammation-related disorders and/or reactions, the compositions comprising an effective amount of a chemorepellent agent to treat the disorder and/or reaction when applied to the subject and a penetration enhancer.
- Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by abnormally rapid growth of the skin, which creates patches of skin that are typically itchy, scaly and red. It is believed to be caused by an inflammatory cascade due to secretion of cytokines by white blood cells in the dermis.
- Eczema also called dermatitis or atopic dermatitis
- dermatitis is caused by inflammation of the skin. It is characterized by itchy, erythematous, vesicular, weeping, and crusting patches on the skin.
- Contact dermatitis may be caused by irritants or allergens.
- Poisonous plants such as poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac, as well as other allergens can cause allergic contact dermatitis as a result of inflammation of the dermis and epidermis. This results in burning, itchy rashes that may take several days to weeks to resolve.
- Other dermatological disorders that are caused by an undesired immune or inflammatory response include immune and autoimmune disease, including scleroderma, dermatomyositis, epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, bullous pemphigoid; dermatitis; vasculitis; and diaper rash.
- the present invention relates to skin-penetrating compositions for treating an immune- or inflammation-related skin disorder in a subject in need thereof and methods of use thereof.
- This disclosure is predicated on the discovery that chemorepellent agents (e.g., CXCL12 and other CXCR4- or CXCR7-binding molecules) (e.g., when targeted to a subdermal region) can reduce or prevent the occurrence/recurrence of immune- or inflammation-related skin disorders at a site in a subject.
- chemorepellent agents e.g., CXCL12 and other CXCR4- or CXCR7-binding molecules
- the immune- or inflammation related skin disorders to be treated as described herein are believed to occur as a result of an abnormality in immune responsiveness, function and trafficking resulting in the accumulation of inflammatory cells (granulocytes and macrophages) and immune cells (lymphocytes and dendritic cells) in the skin. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that reducing the inflammatory response by a subject’s immune system at a site with or prone to psoriasis, eczema, or other immune- or inflammation-related skin disorders reduces the occurrence or severity of the disorder.
- Chemorepellent agents can repel and modify the function of effector T-cells while recruiting immune- suppressive regulatory T-cells to an anatomic site in/on a subject. This action allows for a down-regulation of immune activity in, for example, a localized area.
- Chemorepellent agents are agents that have migratory cell (e.g., immune cell) repellent activity (i.e., chemorepellent effect). Some chemokines are chemorepellent at high concentrations, whereas at low concentrations they may exhibit chemoattractant activity.
- chemorepellent agents may inhibit or attenuate the inflammatory response in the skin that results from psoriasis, eczema, allergic contact dermatitis, or other immune- or inflammation-related skin disorders.
- a chemorepellent agent may be a CXCR4-binding molecule or CXCR7 -binding molecule.
- a chemorepellent may be IL-8 or CXCL12 (also called SDF-1), or a chemorepellent active fragment thereof or a homologue of a fragment thereof.
