Kaempferol therapy improved MC903 induced-atopic dermatitis in a mouse by suppressing TSLP, oxidative stress, and type 2 inflammation.
Atopic dermatitis is a common skin disease caused by genetic susceptibility, environmental factors, immune response, and skin barrier dysfunction. Kaempferol is a natural flavonoid widely found in tea, vegetables, and fruits and has been reported to have excellent anti-inflammation activity. However, the therapeutic effect of kaempferol on atopic dermatitis is unclear. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

Reversine enhances skin barrier functions by suppressing the IL-4- and IL-13-mediated STAT6 pathway
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disorder that significantly impairs the quality of life. Defects in the skin barrier associated with the downregulation of epidermal differentiation complex genes, such as filaggrin (FLG), loricrin (LOR), and involucrin (IVL), have been revealed to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of AD [1].

Updated skin transcriptomic atlas depicted by reciprocal contribution of single-nucleus RNA sequencing and single-cell RNA sequencing
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has advanced our understanding of skin biology, but its utility is restricted by the requirement of fresh samples, inadequate dissociation-induced cell loss or death, and activation during tissue digestion. Single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) can use frozen, hard-to-dissociate materials, which might be a promising method to circumvent the limitations of scRNA-seq for the skin tissue.

Cracking the Cytokine Code in Atopic Dermatitis Reveals IL-13 as Dominant Driver of Disease Activity
Following a brief historical review of the immunopathogenesis of psoriasis including the cytokine network operative in psoriasis, a focus on the role of IL-13 in the cytokine hierarchy for atopic dermatitis (AD) will be presented. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

Peripheral blood mononuclear cell- transcriptome signatures of atopic dermatitis and prediction for the efficacy of dupilumab
Few studies have explored transcriptome of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of atopic dermatitis (AD). Parameters for prediction of the efficacy of dupilumab in AD remain obscure. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

Circ_TNFRSF21 promotes cSCC metastasis and M2 macrophage polarization via miR-214-3p/CHI3L1
Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a highly invasive disease with the potential to metastasize and cause fatality. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the mechanism behind cSCC in order to devise effective strategies to combat this disease. (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

SIRT1 downregulation provokes immune-inflammatory responses in hair follicle outer root sheath cells and may contribute to development of alopecia areata
Silent information regulator 1 (SIRT1), a type III histone deacetylase, is involved in various cutaneous and systemic autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. However, little is known about the role of SIRT1 in the development of alopecia areata (AA). (Source: Journal of Dermatological Science)

IGFBP-7 secreted by adipose-derived stem cells inhibits keloid formation via the BRAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway
Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) have important clinical significance as regulators of skin scar tissue regeneration. ASCs inhibit keloid formation and increase insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-7 (IGFBP-7) expression. However, whether ASCs inhibit keloid formation through IGFBP-7 remains unclear.

Prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus type I in patients with psoriasis and its effect on treatment choice: a multicenter observational study
Biologics have benefited psoriasis patients due to their high therapeutic efficacy. In 2019, the Japanese Dermatological Association has revised Guidance for the Use of Biologics in Psoriasis [1] for the safe use of biologics. It recommended screening tests for latent infections such as tuberculosis and viral hepatitis before starting the use of biologics. Human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) is a human retrovirus [2]. Some individuals with HTLV-1 infection develop adult T-cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATL) [3].

Topical histone deacetylase 1 inhibitor Entinostat ameliorates psoriasiform dermatitis through suppression of IL-17A response
Biologics against IL-17A, IL-23 and TNF- α achieve a great success in treating psoriasis. However, the majority of patients still have some residual lesions left and require combination therapy to reach complete clearance. Topical medicine is an optional choice but only has limited categories. Besides, drug resistance is very often. Thus, topical medicine targeting new signaling pathway is still in an urgent need in the biologics era. ObjectiveTo investigate the role of topical Entinostat, a selective inhibitor of histone deacetylases 1 (HDAC1) has been tested in clinic trials to treat solid tumors and hematological malig...
