| Research Abstract |
1. Th2 cytokines inhibit the permeability barrier recovery via reduction of formation and secretion of lamellar bodies.
2. Th2 cytokines abrogate integrity of stratum corneum via reduction of density of corneodesmosomes, which results from inhibitory effects of Th2 cytokines on expression of desmoglein 1.
3. Th2 cytokines reduce the expression of PPARα in epidermis, resulting in barrier abnormality in atopic dermatitis.
These results suggest that Th2 cytokines are involved in making atopic dermatitis refractory and that activation of PPARα might be one of the new therapeutic targets in atopic dermatiris.
