IL‐17 downregulates filaggrin and affects keratinocyte expression of genes associated with cellular adhesion

Abstract excerpt

Atopic eczema and psoriasis are common skin diseases. While it is well established that the pathogenesis of these diseases varies, both are characterized by impairment in epidermal barrier function and abnormal IL-17 expression in the skin and peripheral blood.
