==Overview==
==Overview==
Atopic dermatitis is a [[chronic]] [[inflammatory]] [[skin disorder]] with an [[Immunology|immunologic]] background and occurs in patients with a personal or [[family history]] of [[atopy]] (i.e. [[asthma]] or [[allergic rhinitis]]). It is caused by either skin barrier dysfunction or immune dysregulation of the [[Adaptive immunity|adaptive]] and [[innate immune response]] leading to an enhanced [[IgE]]-mediated, systemic [[Th2 response]]. The skin barrier is invaded by [[exogenous]] substances, including [[allergens]], [[irritants]] and [[microbes]]; and the tightly packed structure of the [[stratum corneum]] is further compromised. Systemically, a dysfunctional [[Innate immune system|innate]] and [[adaptive immune response]] causes further damage to the [[epidermis]].

==Pathophysiology==
===Physiology===
The normal physiology of atopic dermatitis can be understood as follows:
'''Epidermal barrier function:'''
* '''Epidermis''': It directly interfaces with the [[Environment (biophysical)|environment]] and acts as the 1st line of defense. It is primarily dependent on the structure and composition of the most outermost layer of the skin, i.e. [[stratum corneum]]. It protects the body from [[irritants]], [[allergens]], [[microbes]], and [[pathogens]] from invading the skin as well as preventing the excess water loss.<ref name="pmid25131691">{{cite journal |vauthors=Elias PM, Wakefield JS |title=Mechanisms of abnormal lamellar body secretion and the dysfunctional skin barrier in patients with atopic dermatitis |journal=J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. |volume=134 |issue=4 |pages=781–791.e1 |date=October 2014 |pmid=25131691 |pmc=4186911 |doi=10.1016/j.jaci.2014.05.048 |url=}}</ref> Epidermis consists of:
** Tightly packed corneocytes layers in the [[stratum corneum]] 
** Intercellular lipid bilayers
** Corneocytes layers embedded in the [[extracellular matrix]] derived from lipid lamellae
** Natural moisturising factors (NMF), maintaining the water retention in the [[stratum corneum]]
** [[Antimicrobial peptides]]
* '''Filaggrin proteins:'''  It is encoded by [[Filaggrin|filaggrin gene ''FLG'']] on [[chromosome]] 1q21 (contains the genes of the [[epidermal differentiation complex]] (EDC)) and is the main component required to form corneocytes in the [[stratum corneum]].<ref name="pmid19386895">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sandilands A, Sutherland C, Irvine AD, McLean WH |title=Filaggrin in the frontline: role in skin barrier function and disease |journal=J.

** Pro-filaggrin is required for the formation of dense [[cytoplasmic]] granules, which along with other proteins forms the corneocytes that acts as a primary unit for the barrier function of the [[skin]].
** Pro-filaggrin undergoes extensive [[phosphorylation]] and [[dephosphorylation]], to produce [[filaggrin]] monomers to interact and aggregate with the [[keratin]] filaments and permits extensive crosslinking, to form a highly insoluble [[keratin]] matrix.<ref name="pmid193868952">{{cite journal |vauthors=Sandilands A, Sutherland C, Irvine AD, McLean WH |title=Filaggrin in the frontline: role in skin barrier function and disease |journal=J.

** The degraded products of [[filaggrin]] protein are one of the major components of natural moisturising factors (NMF), which prevents excess water loss from the [[stratum corneum]].
** The degraded products of [[filaggrin]] protein also maintain the acidic pH of the [[stratum corneum]], required to regulate the activity of [[enzymes]].
* '''Proteins related to tight junctions''': These [[transmembrane proteins]] are present in the [[stratum granulosum]] of the [[epidermis]] and compose together to form [[tight junctions]] which includes [[Claudins|claudin-1]], [[occludin]], junctional adhesion molecule.<ref name="pmid211635152">{{cite journal |vauthors=De Benedetto A, Rafaels NM, McGirt LY, Ivanov AI, Georas SN, Cheadle C, Berger AE, Zhang K, Vidyasagar S, Yoshida T, Boguniewicz M, Hata T, Schneider LC, Hanifin JM, Gallo RL, Novak N, Weidinger S, Beaty TH, Leung DY, Barnes KC, Beck LA |title=Tight junction defects in patients with atopic dermatitis |journal=J.

Overview

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with an immunologic background and occurs in patients with a personal or family history of atopy (i.e. asthma or allergic rhinitis). It is caused by either skin barrier dysfunction or immune dysregulation of the adaptive and innate immune response leading to an enhanced IgE-mediated, systemic Th2 response. The skin barrier is invaded by exogenous substances, including allergens, irritants and microbes; and the tightly packed structure of the stratum corneum is further compromised. Systemically, a dysfunctional innate and adaptive immune response causes further damage to the epidermis.

Pathophysiology

Physiology

The normal physiology of atopic dermatitis can be understood as follows:

Epidermal barrier function:

Immune response:

Pathogenesis

  • Common cause of ITP is autoimmune .[16]
  • Auto antibodies against platelets is detected in approximately 60% of cases.
  • These antibodies are against platelet membrane glycoproteins IIb-IIIa or Ib-IX, and IgG type.[17]
  • Other cause of ITP is due to chronic infections such as HIV, hepatitis C and H. Pylori. It,s due to molecular mimicry, antibody is formed against the infection and this cross-reacts with platelets. Autoantibodies in ITP react with platelet IIb/IIIa glycoprotein, less commonly with GPIb/IX. Lymphocytes in the spleen make the antiplatelet antibody; that,s why splenectomy works so well. There is a correlation between a platelet's short survival and high turnover rate and the subsequent excellent response to splenectomy.
  • Platelet kinetic studies show that platelet production is normal or reduced rather than increased in about two thirds of ITP patients.
  • autoantibodies from patients with ITP inhibit megakaryocyte growth in vitro.
  • IgG from ITP-plasma inhibits megakaryocyte production.
  • Ultrastructural studies of the bone marrow in ITP show increased signs of megakaryocyte apoptosis and reduced platelet shedding.
  • Recent studies suggests that the stimulus for autoantibody production in ITP is due to abnormal T helper cells reacting with platelet antigens on the surface of antigen presenting cells.[18] This important finding suggests that therapies directed towards T cells may be effective in treating ITP.[19]

It is understood that atopic dermatitis is the result of either skin barrier dysfunction or by immune dysregulation.[20]

Epidermal barrier dysfunction (outside-in hypothesis):[21]

Immune dysregulation (inside-out’ hypothesis):[32]

  • Innate immune response:
  • Adaptive immune response:
    • Increased allergen penetration through the damaged epidermis leading to a Th2-type milieu is thought to explain the critical link between the barrier defect of atopic dermatitis patients with FLG mutations and Th2 polarization.[36]
    • Enhanced expression of Th2, Th17, and Th22 cytokines, characterize the acute initiation of atopic dermatitis lesions.[37]
    • Epidermal barrier function is regulated through Th2 and Th22 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, IL-31, and IL-22) by:[38]
      • Stimulating epidermal hyperplasia
      • Inhibiting the expression of terminal keratinocyte differentiation genes (eg, FLG, loricrin, involucrin)
      • Suppressing the production of AMPs
  • Thymic stromal lymphopoietin:
    • Defective skin barrier and enhanced epidermal protease activity, which is reported in atopic dermatitis, promote TSLP production and Th2 response, leading to atopic dermatitis-like inflammation.[39]
    • TSLP polymorphisms have been linked to the severity of atopic dermatitis.
    • TSLP genetic variants are associated with atopic dermatitis and eczema herpeticum.[40]
    • In patients with defective skin barrier due to FLG mutations, TSLP genetic variants are associated with reduced probability of having persistent atopic dermatitis.[41]

Genetics

Recent studies have established a strong genetic association of atopic dermatitis. Twin studies have indicated high heritability of atopic dermatitis with a concordance rate of 72–86 % for monozygotic twins compared with 21–23 % for dizygotic twins.[42]

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis include:[43]

Genes involved in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis
Filaggrin Gene mutation
  • Located on chromosome 1q21 (epidermal differentiation complex) loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin gene FLG, is strongly associated with a broad range of skin and allergic diseases including atopic dermatitis.[44]
  • Mutation in this gene is also responsible for ichthyosis vulgaris and pachyonychia congenita.[45]
  • The common genetic variant R510X and 2282del4 are very strongly associated with atopic dermatitis.[46]
  • FLG Gene mutation is associated with developing atopic dermatitis at an early age(≤8 years) but is not associated with late childhood or adulthood atopic dermatitis.[47]
SPINK5 and LEKTI gene
  • Located on chromosome 5q32, Serine Protease Inhibitor Kazal-Type 5 (SPINK5) gene encodes a protease inhibitor lymphoepithelial Kazal-type-Related Inhibitor (LEKTI), which is involved in converting profilaggrin into filaggrin and is responsible for marinating the permeability of the normal skin.[48]
  • LEKTI deficiency leads to enhanced cleavage of intercellular attachments, decreased corneocyte cohesion and impaired skin barrier function.[49]
