Expression of CCR2 on Monocytes and Macrophages in Chronically Inflamed Skin in Atopic Dermatitis and Psoriasis

Abstract: Monocytes form a significant component of the inflammatory reaction taking place in the skin of atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. Chemokines are pivotal in mediating the attraction of leucocytes to sites of inflammation. The CC-chemokine, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1/CCL2), is expressed by keratinocytes in both atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. MCP-1 binds to the chemokine receptor CCR2 which is known to be expressed on monocytes and macrophages. We examined the expression of CCR2 on peripheral blood mo… Show more

“…Interestingly, the infiltrating macrophages presented both classical and alternative activation markers, as similarly described for human psoriasis (41). The pathogenic involvement of these subepidermally located macrophages, designated epithelium-lining macrophages, is largely unknown in human psoriasis (2)(3)(4)(5)42). Therefore, we used the PL/J CD18 hypo mouse model herein to study a potential role of macrophages in the pathogenesis of this chronic psoriasiform skin inflammation.…”

“…Macrophages contribute to psoriasis in 2 mouse models Infiltration of macrophages, especially around the epidermal/dermal interface, is a well-established feature of human psoriasis, but the contribution of these cells to psoriatic inflammation was previously unknown (14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19). In this issue, Wang et al (20) and Stratis et al (12) address for the first time to our knowledge the importance of macrophages in mouse models of psoriasis.…”
