appears on the skin. We separated lymphocytes from the inflamed skin of NC/ Nga mice using collagenase I (Sigma-Aldrich) and counted the numbers of nuocytes (ST21/Sca-11/lineage marker-negative) by FACS. Results: (1) The reactions were hapten specific. Wild-type BALB/c mice showed both immediate and delayed-type reactions, whereas ST2 KO mice did not show any immediate reaction. (2) When IL-33 was administered subcutaneously, NC/Nga mice showed increase of serum IgE level. The number of nuocytes in inflamed skin of NC/Nga mice significantly increased compared to non-inflamed skin. The nuocytes showed very weak expression of ST2 in non-inflamed skin, whereas the expression of ST2 in inflamed skin was very significant. Conclusions: These results suggest that IL-33 may have an important role in the mechanism of immediate contact hypersensitivity, and nuocytes may contribute to the development of atopic dermatitis-like skin lesion in NC/Nga mice.

Pathogenesis of Atopic Dermatitis: Current Paradigm
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin inflammation, barrier dysfunction and chronic pruritus. In this review, recent advances in the pathogenesis of AD are summarized. Clinical efficacy of the anti-IL-4 receptor antibody dupilumab implies that type 2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 have pivotal roles in atopic inflammation. The expression of IL-4 and IL-13 as well as type 2 chemokines such a...
متن کاملLoss-of-function variants in the filaggrin gene are a significant risk factor for peanut allergy
BACKGROUND IgE-mediated peanut allergy is a complex trait with strong heritability, but its genetic basis is currently unknown. Loss-of-function mutations within the filaggrin gene are associated with atopic dermatitis and other atopic diseases; therefore, filaggrin is a candidate gene in the etiology of peanut allergy. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between filaggrin loss-of-functi...
متن کاملA possible association between a dysfunctional skin barrier (filaggrin null-mutation status) and diabetes: a cross-sectional study
Background Filaggrin proteins are located in the skin and prevent epidermal water loss and impede the entry of micro-organisms, allergens and chemicals. Filaggrin null mutations are strongly associated with ichthyosis vulgaris and atopic dermatitis. Objective The authors aimed to investigate the association between filaggrin null mutations, atopic dermatitis and diabetes. Design A random samp...

Purpose:Atopic dermatitis is characterizedbydecreased expressionof filaggrin and loricrin. Patientswith atopic dermatitis often suffer from skin infections, which are also frequently seen in patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). In this study, we aimed to investigate the skin barrier in CTCL. Experimental Design:We assessed skinmoisture and transepidermal water loss (TEWL) in patients...
متن کاملSpontaneous atopic dermatitis is mediated by innate immunity, with the secondary lung inflammation of the atopic march requiring adaptive immunity
BACKGROUND Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin condition that can occur in early life, predisposing to asthma development in a phenomenon known as the atopic march. Although genetic and environmental factors are known to contribute to AD and asthma, the mechanisms underlying the atopic march remain poorly understood. Filaggrin loss-of-function mutations are a major genetic predispose...
