Abstract excerpt
Although human epidermis contains levels of interleukin-1 (IL-1) up to 100 times higher than other tissues, the role of this cytokine in epidermal biology is unknown. Here, we show that interleukin-1 regulates the expression of mRNAs for two proteins associated with the differentiated phenotype of human keratinocytes, cellular retinoic acid-binding protein type II (CRABP II) and small, proline rich protein 1...
