2023 Fiscal Year Research-status Report

Effects of psychological stressors on the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis

Research Project

Project/Area Number 23K15292
Research InstitutionJuntendo University

Principal Investigator

趙 巧鳳  順天堂大学, 大学院医学研究科, 博士研究員 (60934601)

Project Period (FY) 2023-04-01 – 2026-03-31
KeywordsStress / Atopic dermatitis
Outline of Annual Research Achievements

Atopic dermatitis (AD), which is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, manifests as intractable itch. Psychological stress may have a role in the onset or exacerbation of skin disorders such as AD. Psychological stress may influence AD, but the links between psychological stressors and cutaneous manifestations remain unclear.
I have completed the essential techniques for studying Project 1, which include the following steps:
1. Inducing AD-like symptoms; 2. Selecting stressors: Three different types of stressors are selected for stress loading, including WS, RS, and R-SDS; 3. Evaluating the effects of stress on AD symptoms; 4. Studying the effects of stress on alloknesis.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

The following research project 1(Generation of AD-like model and evaluation of psychological stress load) was completed last year.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

The following research Project 2:Effects of psychological stress on the structure and function of skin barrier and sensory nerve fibers:
1, [Effects of stress on AD symptoms] The selected stresses will be given from the AD-induced process to NC/Nga mice to evaluate the skin barrier itch behavior and the degree of dermatitis to study the effect of stress on AD pathogenesis.
2, [Effects of stress on sensory nerve fibers] To further confirm the skin barrier disruption and sensory nerve fibers, I will collect and analyze the skin tissues from each group for immunohistochemical and histology.
