AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the impact of exosomal miRNAs on keratinocyte death in Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN), which is more severe than drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS).
- Exosomal miRNAs from the blood of SJS/TEN patients were shown to have cytotoxic effects on keratinocytes, with specific miRNAs differing in expression between SJS/TEN and DRESS.
- This suggests that targeting exosomal miRNAs could provide new therapeutic approaches for treating SJS/TEN.
Article Abstract
Background: Stevens-Johnson syndrome/toxic epidermal necrolysis (SJS/TEN) and drug reactions with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS) are both severe cutaneous adverse reactions. Keratinocyte death is much more prominent in SJS/TEN compared to DRESS.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of exosomal miRNAs on keratinocyte death in SJS/TEN.
Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from SJS/TEN and DRESS patients were stimulated with the culprit drugs. The exosomes released in cell supernatants were co-incubated with HaCaT cells to study the cytotoxic effects on keratinocytes. Exosomal miRNA sequencing analysis was performed to compare the expression patterns between SJS/TEN and DRESS subjects. HaCaT cells were then transfected with miRNA mimics and inhibitors to explore the functions of miRNAs on keratinocyte cell death.
Results: Cytotoxic effects of PBMC-derived exosomes on keratinocytes were demonstrated in SJS/TEN and could be neutralized with exosome inhibitors. Cytotoxic effects of PBMC-derived exosomes from SJS/TEN subjects were higher after incubating PBMCs with the culprit drugs than those incubating with irrelevant drugs and unstimulated controls. The sequencing data revealed differential expressions of 61 exosomal miRNAs between SJS/TEN and DRESS. Exosomal miR-4488 was upregulated while miR-486-5p, miR-96-5p and miR-132-3p were downregulated in SJS/TEN compared to DRESS as determined by quantitative real-time PCR. The increased percentage of apoptotic cells upon transfection of HaCat cells was 36.3% and 34.9% with miR-4488 mimic and miR-96-5p inhibitor, respectively.
Conclusion: This study illustrated the regulatory functions of exosomal miRNAs in controlling keratinocyte death in SJS/TEN. Exosome inhibitors might have a therapeutic role in SJS/TEN.

Background: Epidermal necrolysis (EN) is a rare and severe condition, characterized by a diffuse skin and mucosal detachment and mainly induced by drugs. Literature is scarce regarding the rate of recurrences and culprit drug re-exposure.
Objectives: To assess the rate of EN recurrences as well as high notoriety drugs re-exposures in patients with EN.

Prescription-event monitoring (PEM) is the current gold standard for determining the risk of rare drug side-effects and comparing the risk between agents; however, spontaneous or prompted reporting schemes have low case-detection rates and exposure may be difficult to estimate. A novel method is described that allows a comparative adverse event rate between two drugs to be estimated-based on patterns of cross-reactivity-requiring only a sample of cases and no direct knowledge of drug exposure rates. Agreement was compared between the novel method and historical estimates of risk using PEM for comparative risk of rocuronium versus vecuronium anaphylaxis.

Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) often causes irreversible visual impairment, making early prevention crucial. This study aims to identify associations between different medications and RVO and provide information for clinical practice.
Method: This study included reports of RVO from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database from the first quarter (Q1) of 2004 to the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2023.
