2 Atopic dermatitis Atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory, non-contagious skin disorder. The skin of a patient with atopic dermatitis reacts abnormally and easily to irritants, food, and environmental allergens and becomes red, flaky and very itchy. It also becomes vulnerable to surface infections caused by bacteria.

3 Atopic dermatitis Clinical appearance of atopic dermatitis lesions in patients. A. Mild atopic dermatitis appears as a localized area of skin inflammation with erythema and dryness. In a child + parent, B. Acute skin inflammation exacerbated by infection in a child with atopic dermatitis, C. Chronic skin inflammation with lichenification in an adult with adult dermatitis (S. Sehra et.al., An Bras Dermatol. 2008). A functional probiotic f Lactobacillus sakei probio-65 rom kimchi for atopic eczema-dermatitis syndrome

4 Factors related to atopic dermatitis Mite Pollen Food Air contamination Environmental factors a AD patient of parent - Appearance 60% for child Two AD patients of parent - Appearance 80% for child Genetic factors Atopic dermatitis Ig E IL-4 IL-2 TNF-α Immunological factors Microbial factors Staphylococcus aureus Fungi Yeast

5 Immunological mechanisms involved in atopic dermatitis. Initiation of the atopic response in AD involves the uptake and processing of allergens by LCs after penetration through the compromised epithelial barrier. The activated LCs then migrate to skin draining LN and with IL-4 promote Th2 differentiation. Keratinocytes produce chemokines including CCL17, CCL27, CCL11, CCL26. Chemokines CCL17 and CCL27 recruit Th2 cells to the skin whereas CCL11 and CCL26 recruit eosinophils. TSLP activates DCs to prime naive T helper cells to Th2 cells and promote Th2 memory. The potentiation of the inflammatory response involves the complication of AD with bacterial infections. Staphylococcal exotoxins activate LCs and IDECs to produce inflammatory mediators including IL-1β and TNF-α. The mediators lead to increased expression of chemokines which recruit T cells. Th2 cytokines in AD decrease AMPs making lesions susceptible to infection. PAF receptor can also bind to LTA in addition to PAF. LTA activated IDECs migrate to draining lymph nodes of skin to promote Th1 responses. FLG; EDC gene filaggrin, TSLP; thymic stromal lymphopoietin, IDEC; inflammatory dendritic epidermal cell, PAF; platelet-activating factor (S. Sehra et.al., An Bras Dermatol. 2008).

6 Probiotics in allergic diseases Intestinal microbiota are the greatest microbial exposure through out life and it is an important stimulus for both intestinal and immune development. Recent studies in humans support the importance of the intestinal microbiota in immune development, and have found a relationship with the development of allergic diseases. Intestinal microbiota of infants are more amenable to manipulation using probiotic supplementation than intestinal microbiota of adults

7 Source of isolation-kimchi An indigenous Korean food Kimchi is an unique fermented side dish, indispensable for any Korean meal, and therefore, it has always been the most representative Korean food. There are more than one hundred varieties of kimchi. Kimchi is rich in different types of Lactobacillus Recently lots of new species of bacteria and many functional probiotics were isolated from Kimchi

28 Conclusions Lactobacillus sakei probio-65 isolated from Kimchi exhibited probiotic properties like High tolerance to gastric and bile juice. Good antibacterial activity against variety of pathogenic bacteria, especially Staphylococcus aureus. During in vitro analysis probio-65 exhibited immuno-stimulating properties like increased production of Nitric oxide and decreased Histamine production. In vivo analysis in mouse observed a fast recovery of the damaged skin induced allergy by DNCB along with decreased IgE and IL-4 levels. Supplementation of L. sakei in children with atopic dermatitis was associated with a substantial clinical improvement and a significant decrease in chemokine levels. In summary Lactobacillus sakei probio-65 is an ideal probiotic candidate for the treatment of atopic dermatitis. A functional probiotic from kimchi for atopic eczema-dermatitis syndrome
