Résumé
Atopic dermatitis is characterized by scratching and a Th2-dominated local and systemic response to cutaneously encountered antigens. Dendritic cells (DCs) capture antigens in the skin and rapidly migrate to draining lymph nodes (dLNs) where they drive the differentiation of antigen-specific naïve T cells. Determine whether non-T cell-derived IL-4 acts on skin-derived DCs to promote the Th2 response to cutaneously encountered antigen and allergic skin inflammation. DCs from dLNs of ovalbumin (OVA)-exposed skin were analyzed by flow cytometry and for their ability to polarize OVA-specific naïve CD4 Scratching upregulated IL4 expression in human skin. Similarly, tape stripping caused rapid basophil-dependent upregulation of cutaneous Il4 expression in mouse skin. In vitro treatment of DCs from skin dLNs with IL-4 promoted their capacity to drive Th2 differentiation. DCs from dLNs of OVA-sensitized skin of Il4 Mechanical skin injury causes basophil-dependent upregulation of cutaneous IL-4. IL-4 acts on skin DCs that capture antigen and migrate to dLNs to promote their capacity for Th2 polarization and drive allergic skin inflammation.

Determine whether non-T cell-derived IL-4 acts on skin-derived DCs to promote the Th2 response to cutaneously encountered antigen and allergic skin inflammation.
METHODS
METHODS
DCs from dLNs of ovalbumin (OVA)-exposed skin were analyzed by flow cytometry and for their ability to polarize OVA-specific naïve CD4
RESULTS
RESULTS
Scratching upregulated IL4 expression in human skin. Similarly, tape stripping caused rapid basophil-dependent upregulation of cutaneous Il4 expression in mouse skin. In vitro treatment of DCs from skin dLNs with IL-4 promoted their capacity to drive Th2 differentiation. DCs from dLNs of OVA-sensitized skin of Il4
CONCLUSION
CONCLUSIONS
Mechanical skin injury causes basophil-dependent upregulation of cutaneous IL-4. IL-4 acts on skin DCs that capture antigen and migrate to dLNs to promote their capacity for Th2 polarization and drive allergic skin inflammation.
