| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
When skin is injured by internal or external insults, alarmins, such as interleukin 33 (IL-33), is released from keratinocytes and inflammatory and repairing reactions are induced. In the present study, analysis of mutations in 40 cases with keratinization disorders and the expression of alarmins were examined in the skin. The up-regulation of IL-33 in the epidermis of Netherton syndrome was observed, and the induction of genes involved in innate immune responses, such as antimicrobial peptides, was found in the skin with transglutaminase 1 deficiency. From these results, we proposed the autonomous regulation of molecular signatures for innate immune responses in the pathogenesis of keratinization disorders.
