Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for treating acne and Propionibacterium acnes associated diseases comprising administering a compound capable of depleting mast cells or a compound inhibiting mast cells degranulation, to a human in need of such treatment.
  • a compound capable of depleting mast cells or a compound inhibiting mast cells degranulation can be chosen from c-kit inhibitors and more particularly non-toxic, selective and potent c-kit inhibitors.
  • said inhibitor is unable to promote death of IL-3 dependent cells cultured in presence of IL-3.
  • Acne is a chronic infection of the skin by Propionibacterium acnes leading to chronic inflammation of the skin.
  • Acne is a common disease that in case of extreme disfiguration can have severe consequences for the personality development of young people and is associated with a relatively high prevalence of depression and suicide.
  • Spontaneous regression is common, but acne can extend into the fourth and fifth decades of life. The pathogenesis is still not fully understood.
  • Factors promoting the development of acne are: increased sebum production, ductal cornification, bacterial colonization of the pilosebaceus ducts and inflammation.
  • Propionibacterium acnes releases pro- inflammatory cytokines as well as antigens and mitogens, with cellular and non-cellular responses to these products triggering inflammation.
  • Antibiotics such as tetracycline, doxycycline, minocycline, or erythromycin, are often prescribed for treating acne.
  • the most popular treatment is Accutane® (isotretinoin), which is a derivative of vitamin A.
  • Accutane® isotretinoin
  • the treatment must last few months and implies significant side effects such as chapped lips, dry skin and itching irritation of the eyelids and eyes, joint and muscle pains and increased sensitivity to sunburn.
  • MC mast cells
  • MC progenitors circulate in the bloodstream and differentiate in tissues.
  • Mast cells produce a large variety of mediators categorized into three groups: preformed granule-associated mediators (histamine, proteoglycans, and neutral proteases), lipid-derived mediators (prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leucotrienes), and various cytokines (IL-1, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, TNF- ⁇ , GM-CSF, MIP-lo MIP-1/3 and IFN- ⁇ ), most of them having strong pro-inflammatory activities. For instance, a massive release of MCs mediators is responsible for anaphylactic reactions that could be sometimes fatal to the patients and are always responsible for a significant morbidity. Since MCs are distributed in almost all the body sites, hypersecretion of mediators by activated elements can lead to multiple organ failures.
  • mast cells are central players involved in acne.
  • MC mast cells
  • the present invention relates to a method for treating acne and Propionibacterium acnes associated diseases comprising administering a compound capable of depleting mast cells or blocking mast cells degranulation to a human in need of such treatment.
