Epidermal Barrier in Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex disease that affects up to 20% of children and impacts the quality of patients and families in a significant manner. New insights into the pathophysiology of AD point to an important role of structural abnormalities in the epidermis combined with immune dysregulation. Filaggrin (FLG) is synthesized as a large precursor, profilaggrin, and is expressed in the u...
متن کاملEpidermal Barrier Dysfunction: Beyond Atopic Dermatitis
of the epidermal barrier has expanded greatly over the course of the last two decades. Primary functions of the epidermal barrier are to protect against the entry of foreign substances (antigens, irritants, and microbes). In addition to these primarily defensive roles, the epidermis traps moisture and regulates hydration, and it synthesizes vitamin D. The epidermal barrier is not a passive stru...
متن کاملAtopic dermatitis with mononuclear phagocytic activity deficiency.
Five patients with atopic dermatitis, three males and two females, aged 2 to 17 years, had positive reactions to air allergens (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and/or farinae). All the patients suffered from severe recurrent dermatophytosis that responded poorly to antifungal treatment. The results of immunologic evaluation by laboratory tests were normal, except for a decrease in the ingestion ...
متن کاملThe potential role of impaired Notch signalling in atopic dermatitis.
This review presents recent evidence of impaired Notch signalling in atopic dermatitis (AD), which is proposed to represent the "a-topic" defect linking both epidermal and immunological barrier dysfunctions in AD. AD epidermis exhibits a marked deficiency of Notch receptors. Mouse models with genetically suppressed Notch signalling exhibit dry skin, signs of scratching, skin barrier abnormaliti...
متن کاملCommon Allergens in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
Abstract Background and objective: Being exposed to different allergens, followed by the production of specific IgE, has an important role in causing atopic dermatitis, recognizing the allergens and applying immunotherapy for treatment. We aimed to determine the frequency of common allergens in the patients suffering from atopic dermatitis. Material and Methods: In this descriptive- anal...
