Atopic Dermatitis and the Nervous System

Abstract: Due to the narrow associations between the skin, immune system, and nervous system, nerve endings are very important in the pathophysiology of inflammatory dermatoses and especially in atopic dermatitis. Many neurotransmitters and nerve growth factors that are released in blood or skin are involved in neurogenic inflammation, which dramatically enhance the inflammation induced by immune cells. During times of stress, their release is highly enhanced. In atopic dermatitis lesions, there are many specific change… Show more

“…The nervous system plays a significant role in skin physiology as well as in pathophysiology of many skin diseases (18). So, its expression in skin suggests its possible implication in the physiological and/or pathophysiological interactions processes between skin and nervous system.…”

“…This process should be essential in atopic dermatitis [112], psoriasis [113], rosacea [114], and a large range of inflammation-related troubles [115]. The discovery of the effects of SP, CGRP, and natriuretic peptides on Gram-positive bacteria led to a new vision of neurogenic inflammation which involves the microbial skin flora as a central relay in the inflammation process but also as a potential new target for the treatment of these diseases [116].…”

“…La TSLP joue un rôle important dans la marche atopique (de la dermatite atopique vers l'asthme) puisque ses niveaux sont corrélés à la sensibilisation cutanée et à la sévérité de l'asthme chez la souris, alors que cette sensibilisation et ses conséquences cutanées et bronchiques sont fortement réduites chez les souris dont le gène codant pour la TSLP est invalidé (knocked-out) [3]. Si le rôle des terminaisons nerveuses cutanées dans la dermatite atopique commence à être plus clair [4], les raisons de la présence d'un prurit restaient assez mystérieuses [5] alors qu'il s'agit d'un symptôme majeur au cours de cette maladie, à tel point qu'il est indispensable à sa définition. Contrairement à ce que l'on pensait initialement, l'histamine ne joue aucun rôle dans le prurit de la dermatite atopique puisque les anti-histaminiques (anti-H1 dirigés contre les récepteurs H1) n'ont aucune efficacité.…”
