Abstract
2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) and 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) are well known as skin sensitizers that can cause dermatitis. DNFB has shown to more potently sensitize skin; however, how DNFB and DNCB cause skin inflammation at a molecular level and why this difference in their sensitization ability is observed remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to identify the molecular targets and mechanisms on which DNFB and DNCB act. We used a fluorescent calcium imaging plate reader in an initial screening assay before patch-clamp recordings for validation. Molecular docking in combination with site-directed mutagenesis was then carried out to investigate DNFB and DNCB binding sites in the TRPA1 ion channel that may be selectively activated by these tow sensitizers. We found that DNFB and DNCB selectively activated TRPA1 channel with EC50 values of 2.3 ± 0.7 μM and 42.4 ± 20.9 μM, respectively. Single-channel recordings revealed that DNFB and DNCB increase the probability of channel opening and act on three residues (C621, E625, and Y658) critical for TRPA1 activation. Our findings may not only help explain the molecular mechanism underlying the dermatitis and pruritus caused by chemicals such as DNFB and DNCB, but also provide a molecular tool 7.5-fold more potent than the current TRPA1 activator allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) used for investigating TRPA1 channel pharmacology and pathology. 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) and 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) are well known as skin sensitizers that can cause dermatitis.

Nitrobenzene compounds such as 2, 4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) and 2, 4-dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) have long been known to cause skin irritation and sensitization, and they are used for establishment of skin inflammatory models in rodents (1Gouin O.

Topical applications of DNFB and DNCB can mediate contact hypersensitivity and induce allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) (4Hsieh G.C. Kolano R.M. Andrews W. Fey T.A. Collins K.A. Gauvin D. Kawai M.

DNFB, commonly called Sanger’s reagent used for protein sequencing, also causes colitis in mice (6Rijnierse A. van Zijl K.M.F. Koster A.S. Nijkamp F.P. Kraneveld A.D.

Chemical DNFB as an allergen additionally elicits immune reactions by inducing mast cell degranulation and releases of histamine (3Barry D.M. Munanairi A. Chen Z.-F. Spinal mechanisms of itch transmission.Neurosci. Bull. 2017; 34: 156-164Google Scholar), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) (8Parenti A. De Logu F. Geppetti P. Benemei S. What is the evidence for the role of TRP channels in inflammatory and immune cells?.Br. J. Pharmacol. 2016; 173: 953-969Google Scholar). It is of interest that both DNFB and DNCB share similar structures, but the skin is more sensitive to DNFB-induced irritation than DNCB (9Tingle M.D. Clarke J.B. Kitteringham N.R. Park B.K.

TRPA1 is a temperature-sensitive and calcium-permeable cation channel with a fourfold symmetry around the central ion conductance pathway and proximal cytoplasmic regions involved in electrophile detection (11Caterina M.J.

TRPA1 is also activated by harmful electrophiles that are recognized by the channel via covalent modifications of specific cysteine residues located in the cytoplasmic C domain (17Sun Y.G. Chen Z.F.
