The pathologic mechanisms of skin injuries, following the acute inflammatory
response induced by vesicating agents sulfur mustard (SM) and nitrogen mustard
(NM) exposure, are poorly understood. Neutrophils which accumulate at the site of
injury, abundantly express myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme protein that is
implicated in oxidant-related antimicrobial and cytotoxic responses. Our previous
studies have shown that exposure to SM analog 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES)
or NM results in an inflammatory response including increased neutrophilic
infiltration and MPO activity. To further define the role of neutrophil-derived
MPO in NM-induced skin injury, here we used a genetic approach and examined the
effect of NM exposure (12h and 24h) on previously established injury endpoints in
C57BL/6J wild type (WT) and B6.129X1-MPOtm1Lus/J mice (MPO KO), homozygous null
for MPO gene. NM exposure caused a significant increase in skin bi-fold
thickness, epidermal thickness, microvesication, DNA damage and apoptosis in WT
mice compared to MPO KO mice. MPO KO mice showed relatively insignificant effect.
Similarly, NM induced increases in the expression of inflammatory and proteolytic
mediators, including COX-2, iNOS and MMP-9 in WT mice, while having a
significantly lower effect in MPO KO mice. Collectively, these results show that
MPO, which generates microbicidal oxidants, plays an important role in NM-induced
skin injuries. This suggests the development of mechanism-based treatments
against NM- and SM-induced skin injuries that inhibit MPO activity and attenuate
MPO-derived oxidants.
