Controlled dermal cell damage as human in vivo model for localised pain and inflammation

Abstract: We demonstrated that localised intradermal administration of SDS induces a limited pain and inflammatory response in humans. Excitation of nociceptors was accompanied by a massive PGE2 release. Employing this experimental model, the relative contribution of endogenous mediators to induce, maintain or facilitate pain and vasodilatation can be investigated.

“…Topical SLS did not elicit spontaneous pain. In comparison, infusion of SLS into the skin via microdialysis fibers has been shown to induce immediate pain and release of prostaglandin E 2 [23], likely due to either a direct toxic effect or activation of acid-sensing nociceptors by the low pH of most SLS solutions. Here, we show that SLS induces significant, dose-related thermal and tactile hyperalgesia.…”

“…Charged surfactants, such as sodium dodecyl sulfate (used in PRO-LEUKIN , manufactured by Novartis) may also be effective in reducing HMWS in reconstituted lyophilized products. Although approved for use parenterally, anionic surfactants can lyse cells at high concentrations, causing stinging and pain upon injection [100,101]. Therefore, thorough preclinical testing must be done to ensure adequate safety in utilizing these anionic surfactants in lyophilized formulations.…”

“…PGE2 is an inflammatory mediator that facilitates nociceptive signals. A significant increase in the level of PgE2 was found following intradermal injection of sodium dodecyl sulphate (99). Similarly, whereas histamine plays a key role in the immediate phase of inflammation that is elicited by topical 5-amino laevulinic acid photodynamic therapy (100), PgE2 and No are released during the prolonged erythema phase (101).…”
