A molecular mechanism for IL-4 suppression of loricrin transcription in epidermal keratinocytes: implication for atopic dermatitis pathogenesis
27 Sept 2017
Abstract excerpt
Skin barrier defects play an important role in atopic dermatitis (AD) pathogenesis. Loricrin, an important barrier protein suppressed in human AD, is down-regulated by IL-4 in keratinocytes. However, the molecular mechanism is unknown. Since loricrin transcription requires p300/CBP, and Stat6 also recruits this common coactivator for its stimulated factors, we hypothesize that IL-4-activated Stat6 competes for...
