| Research Abstract |
We found that Th2 cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, increase kallikrein 7 expression and function in keratinocytes. Further, KLK7 protein level in the sera of atopic dermatitis patients significantly correlated with IL-4 amounts in the sera. Our finding describes a link between the Th2 environment and epidermal barrier dysfunction in atopic dermatitis.
