Interleukin-15 is a hair follicle immune privilege guardian
J Autoimmun. 2024 Apr 5;145:103217. doi: 10.1016/j.jaut.2024.103217. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe autoimmunity-promoting cytokine, Interleukin-15 (IL-15), is often claimed to be a key pathogenic cytokine in alopecia areata (AA). Yet, rhIL-15 promotes human hair follicle (HF) growth ex vivo. We have asked whether the expression of IL-15 and its receptor (IL-15R) isoforms is altered in human AA and how IL-15 impacts on human HF immune privilege (HF-IP) in the presence/absence of interferon-γ (IFNγ), the well-documented key AA-pathogenic cytokine, and on hair regrowth after experimental AA induction in vivo. Quantitati...
