Overview
The mechanism of disease of eczema involves a complex interplay of abnormalities of skin microbiomes, a dysfunction in the epidermal barrier, and an immune dysregulation. [1] There are two main theories on the existence of atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema - the inside-out hypothesis, and the outside-in hypothesis.
Pathophysiology
Immunological Dysregulation
- Affected skin involves the uptake of antigens and allergens by the epidermal dendritic cells, dermal dendritic cells, and Langerhan cells.
- Sensory nerves are activated by the released cytokines interleukins 4,13 and 31 (IL-4, IL-13, and IL-31), which are responsible for the pruritic sensation.
- As the event becomes chronic, an increased expression of keratinocyte and Th-cell-derived cytokines is achieved, with more pruritogens contributing to itch sensation. [1]
Genetic Inheritance
- There are 34 genetic loci which are thought to be associated with eczema.
- These regions contain several genes which have important immunological functions, such as T-cell activation, type-2 helper cell differentiation, and innate immunity. [2] [3][4]
Epithelium Barrier Dysfunction
- Multiple factors cause the disruption of epithelial barrier. These include:
- As a result, an interrupted normal skin barrier with elevated pH, high skin permeability, altered lipid composition, and decreased water retention is observed. [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
Hypotheses on Development of Eczema
- There are two main theories on the existence of atopic dermatitis, also known as atopic eczema - the inside-out hypothesis, and the outside-in hypothesis.[11]
- Inside-out hypothesis
- This hypothesis denotes that some allergic triggers weaken the skin barrier that leads to more introduction of allergens to the area, causing more inflammatory reaction.[11]
- Outside-in hypothesis
- This hypothesis suggests that an impairment of the skin barrier should occur first before the onset of atopic dermatitis.
- This involves the down-regulation of filaggrin genes (FLG) responsible for maintenance of the proper function of skin barrier.[11] [12]
