*"In conclusion, we observed substantial inhibitory effects of CSE and nicotine on IL-8 and to a lesser extent on IL-6 release by human keratinocytes and HMEC-1 endothelial cells. These findings may explain the beneficial effect of smoking in BD, also because IL-8, and to some extent IL-6, are likely to induce pivotal proinflammatory signals in this disease (Lee et al., 1993). Nicotine may cause immunoregulation by affecting chemokine/cytokine production. This study also demonstrates the different behavior of cells in terms of cytokine release when stimulated with BD patients' sera compared to those of healthy individuals. The in vitro evidence of beneficial effects of nicotine in BD is fundamental to our ongoing clinical trial with nicotine transdermal patches in BD. In addition, the detected beneficial effect of biochanin A implicates this compound as a candidate for future developments in aphthae treatment. The development of topical nicotinic cholinergic receptor subtype-specific agonists is likely to exhibit beneficial effects on skin and mucosae without inducing systemic adverse effects."
