Effects of constant light exposure on allergic and irritant contact dermatitis in mice reared under constant light conditions

Abstract

Environmental light levels can affect physiological functions, such as general activity, body temperature and metabolism. Irregular lifestyles, such as those involving exposure to light during the night, can exacerbate the clinical symptoms of several inflammatory skin diseases. However, the effects of constant light exposure on immune responses are not fully understood. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of constant light exposure on two major types of skin reactions, allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) and irritant contact dermatitis (ICD). BALB/c mice were kept under constant light conditions or a normal light and dark cycle, and their ACD and ICD responses were assessed after the topical application of 2,4,6‐trinitro‐1‐chlorobenzene and croton oil, respectively, to the ear skin. Interestingly, in both ACD and ICD, the ear‐swelling response and local leukocyte infiltration were aggravated by constant exposure to light, which has previously been shown to severely di sturb the behavioural rhythms of mice. In ACD, these findings were accompanied by increases in the numbers of degranulated mast cells and eosinophils. These results suggest that constant light exposure intensifies allergic and non‐allergic skin inflammation.
