Transcriptional profiling of irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) in a mouse model identifies specific patterns of gene expression and immune-regulation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Irritant contact dermatitis (ICD) is a non-immunological, cutaneous inflammatory response to a variety of triggers that requires no sensitization and accounts for up to 80% of occupational dermatitis cases. Numerous inflammatory cytokines play critical roles in the mechanism and severity of ICD, one being interleukin-6 (IL-6). Therefore, to investigate the influence of this pleotropic cytokine transcriptome analysis (MiSeq) was employed examining irritant-exposed and control skin samples from C57 and IL-6KO mice to gain a better understanding of the immunological mediators of ICD and what role IL-6 plays. Overall, this study offers new insight into the pathogenesis of ICD, indicates new mediators/markers that may influence the variability of responses to irritants and potential targets for therapeutic manipulation.
