Abstract

Background and Design: The aim of this study was to assess the effects of long term, high dose montelukast administration on normal rat skin by histological examination. Material and Method: Sixteen rats were randomly divided into 2 groups-the control and the montelukast treated (study) group (n=8). In the control group 0.2ml of 0.9% NaCl was administered intraperitonealy (i.p.) daily for 6 weeks. In the study group the same amount of solution containing 1 mg/kg montelukast was administered i.p. daily for six weeks. At the end of the 6 weeks skin biopsies were taken and histologically examined. Results: There was no significant difference between two groups regarding the dermal and epidermal thickness. Histologic examination of collagen fiber structure did not show difference between two groups. Toluidin blue stained specimens showed that the number of mast cells in dermis significantly decreased in montelukast treated group (p=0.001).Conclusion: Montelukast treatment has significantly decreased the number of mast cells in dermis without any effect on the dermal or epidermal thickness and collagen fiber structure. We think that with the support of further studies, high dose montelukast may have an effective role on the treatment of inflammatory skin disease.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı uzun süreli yüksek doz montelukast uygulamasının normal sıçan derisi üzerindeki etkilerinin histolojik olarak değerlendirilmesiydi. Gereç ve Yöntem: On altı sıçan rastlantısal olarak, her birinde 8 sıçan bulunan iki gruba ayrıldı. Birinci gruba (Grup I= kontrol grubu) günde 1 defa 0,2 ml %0,9’luk sodyum klorür intraperitoneal (i.p.) enjekte edilerek, ikinci gruba (Grup II=deney grubu) 1/mg/kg montelukast bulunan solüsyondan 0,2 ml günde bir defa i.p. enjekte edilerek 6 hafta süre ile tedavi uygulandı. Altı haftanın sonunda deri biyopsileri histolojik incelemeye alındı.Bulgular: Epidermis ve dermis kalınlığı açısından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark saptanmadı. Kontrol ve deney grubunda kollajen liflerinin yapısal özelliklerinin benzer olduğu gözlendi. Toluidin blue ile boyanan preparatlarda dermis tabakasında sayılan mast hücreleri kontrol grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında montelukast verilen grupta belirgin olarak azalmıştı (p=0.001). Sonuç: Montelukast epidermis hücrelerinde, dermis kalınlığında ve kollajen liflerde bir değişikliğe yol açmadan dermiste mast hücre sayısını anlamlı düzeyde azaltmaktadır. Daha ileri çalışmaların desteği ile yüksek dozlarda montelukastın inflamatuar deri hastalıklarının tedavisinde etkin bir rol oynayabileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
