| Research Abstract |
The importance of keratinocytes in the development of atopic dermatitis was evaluated by using a murine model of atopic dermatitis and dogs. We found that increased cell proliferation of keratinocytes and the local crosstalk between keratinocytes and mast cells in the skin were pivotal in the pathogenesis and clinical signs of atopic dermatitis. We also revealed that improvement of skin barrier function could be effective for alleviating atopic dermatitis and would be a local therapeutic option.
