Role of Antimicrobial Peptides in Skin Barrier Repair in Individuals with Atopic Dermatitis

Abstract: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease that exhibits a complex interplay of skin barrier disruption and immune dysregulation. Patients with AD are susceptible to cutaneous infections that may progress to complications, including staphylococcal septicemia. Although most studies have focused on filaggrin mutations, the physical barrier and antimicrobial barrier also play critical roles in the pathogenesis of AD. Within the physical barrier, the stratum corneum and tight junctions pl… Show more

“…Through their antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects AMPs are important players of skin homeostasis. By suppressing/preventing the invasion of potential pathogens, some AMPs are considered as markers reflecting the defensive status of the skin [ 1 , 7 , 21 , 23 , 40 , 41 ]. Additionally, as cohesive forces gradually increase with depth, the AMPs that can be retrieved by a tape stripping approach frequently applied for superficial skin sampling might be of highest relevance [ 30 ].…”

“…Samples collected with tape stripping method provide suitable material for the identification of SC-specific proteins [ 27 ]. In this way, hBDs, LL-37, RNase 7, S100A7, DCD proteins have been identified in the SC samples of healthy and inflamed skin [ 1 , 2 , 14 , 20 , 22 , 24 , 25 ].…”

“…Atopic dermatitis (eczema) is another pathological skin condition [109]. Unlike the psoriasis which is characterised by elevated levels of innate immunity peptides, in atopic dermatitis, host defence peptide levels are not abundant and together with skin dryness make affected areas prone to infections [110].…”
