The transcription factor EPAS1 links DOCK8 deficiency to atopic skin inflammation via IL-31 induction
9 Jan 2017
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Mutations ofDOCK8in humans cause a combined immunodeficiency characterized by atopic dermatitis with high serum IgE levels. However, the molecular link between DOCK8 deficiency and atopic skin inflammation is unknown. Here we show that CD4+T cells from DOCK8-deficient mice produce large amounts of IL-31, a major pruritogen associated with atopic dermatitis. IL-31 induction critically depends on the...
