| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Middle ear cholesteatoma is an epidermal cyst with keratin debris accumulating inside that has acidic pH. Generally speaking, the surface of normal epidermis is maintained acidic, however, barrier function of the horny and granular layers protects subepidermal tissues from the acidic environment. On the other hand, barrier function of the cholesteatoma epithelium is impaired, resulting in an increased permeability. Impaired barrier function is explained by an decease in the expressions of filaggrin and corneodesmosin in the horny layer and claudin-1, claudin-3 and tricellulin in the granulara layer. These lines of evidence supports the acid lysis theory that the cholesteatoma epithelium has impaired barrier function and leaks the acidity of its contents, leading to the resorption of the underlying bone.
