Promoter DNA methylation contributes to human β-defensin-1 deficiency in atopic dermatitis
4 May 2018
Abstract excerpt
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by epidermal barrier dysfunction and dysregulation of innate and adaptive immunity. Epigenetic regulation of human β-defensin-1 (HBD-1) might be associated with a variety of defects in the innate immune system during AD pathogenesis. We investigated the possible mechanism of decreased HBD-1 gene expression in AD and demonstrated the restoration...
