Differences in the detection of circulating Hsp90 alpha between patients with atopic dermatitis and dermatitis herpetiformis.

Heat shock protein 90 alpha (Hsp90α) is one of the key intra- and extracellular chaperones responsible for the biological activity of various signaling molecules that are involved in (auto)immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Recent epidemiologic data suggest that patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) are at risk for several autoimmune diseases, including dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), an extraintestinal manifestation of celiac disease (CD). In addition, pruritic diseases such as AD may be confused clinically with DH. In this study, we aimed to determine the role of circulating Hsp90α in patients with AD in relation to patients with DH, CD, and healthy controls. Using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, levels of circulating Hsp90α were determined in serum samples derived from patients with AD (
