There is some evidence that genes involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, in addition to the filaggrin (FLG) gene, may be located at chromosome region 1q21. The aim of this study was to examine the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the region of the late cornified
BACKGROUND
Discovery of the significant impact of filaggrin (FLG) mutations on the genetic predisposition to atopic dermatitis (AD) focused attention on the 1q21 locus, where not only FLG but also other epidermal genes are located. In the present study, we compared 1q21 gene expression in lesional
BACKGROUND
Small proline rich protein 2B (SPRR2B) is a skin and lung epithelial protein associated with allergic inflammation in mice that has not been evaluated in human atopic diseases.
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SPRR2B are associated with childhood
Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental factors. By allelic copy number analysis at missense single-nucleotide polymorphisms on 26 genes with copy number variation, we identified a significant association between atopic
Substance P is readily expressed in skin inflammatory disorders such as psoriasis and contact dermatitis. Spantide II is a peptide (MW 1668.76) that specifically binds to neurokinin-1 receptor (NKR-1) and blocks inflammation associated with substance P. The anti-inflammatory property of Spantide II
Digital dermatitis (DD) is a contagious claw disease causing lameness in cattle, affecting both animal welfare and economics. In this study, shotgun phage display was used to identify immunogenic proteins in a strain (V1) of the Treponema phylotype closely related to Treponema phagedenis, indicated
BACKGROUND
Topical corticosteroids and calcineurin inhibitors are well-known treatments of atopic dermatitis (AD) but differ in their efficacy and side effects. We recently showed that betamethasone valerate (BM) although clinically more efficient impaired skin barrier repair in contrast to
The chromosomal region 1q21 has been linked to atopic dermatitis in previous studies. Seven polymorphic repeats were identified in a 0.5 Mb region of chromosome 1q21 encompassing a small proline-rich protein (SPRR) gene cluster, a few S100 gene family members, loricin, and several uncharacterized
The aim of the present study was to identify key genes associated with atopic dermatitis (AD) using microarray data and bioinformatic analyses. The dataset GSE6012, downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, contains gene expression data from 10 AD skin samples and 10 healthy skin
Caffeic acid (CA) is produced from a variety of plants and has diverse biological functions, including anti-inflammation activity. It has been recently demonstrated that caffeoyl-prolyl-histidine amide (CA-PH), which is CA conjugated with proline-histidine dipeptide, relieves atopic dermatitis
BACKGROUND
Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is a common skin disease with a high socioeconomic impact. While some light has been shed on the genetic factors that predispose individuals to the disease, little is known about its actual pathogenesis.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to carry out a systematic and
BACKGROUND
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory skin disease. Most AD during infancy resolves during childhood, but moderate-to-severe AD with allergic sensitization is more likely to persist into adulthood and more often occurs with other allergic diseases.
OBJECTIVE
We
The mechanism of action of pimecrolimus (PIM) on atopic lesions is still under consideration. Thus far, we have evidence of its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activity, and recent papers focus on its effect on epidermal barrier function. This study analysed changes in the expression of genes
We have investigated potential mechanisms for blister formation by assaying proteolytic enzymes in the blister fluids of patients with various bullous diseases. Blister fluids were obtained from patients with dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), bullous pemphigoid (BP), chronic bullous disease of
Loss-of-function mutations in human profilaggrin gene have been identified as the cause of ichthyosis vulgaris (IV), and as a major predisposition factor for atopic dermatitis (AD). Similarly, flaky tail (a/a ma ft/ma ft/J) mice were described as a model for IV, and shown to be predisposed to
