2 Eczema / dermatitis is an inflammatory skin reaction

3 Atopic Phototoxic Contact Dermatitis Photoallergic Seborrhoeic Irritant

4 Aetiopathogenesis Genetics Atopy Skin barrier disruption Environmental irritants Environmental allergens Microbes

6 Allergist Dermatologist Eczema is an allergy. No, it s a skin condition.

7 Outside-inside / Inside-outside Outside inside hypothesis Xerosis and abnormal permeability of skin barrier drives eczema with secondary sensitisation Inside outside hypothesis Inflammatory responses to irritants and allergens drives eczema with secondary barrier disruption:

8 T cells in skin lesions of atopic dermatitis

9 Atopic eczema: A skin barrier disease

10 The brick wall model of the skin barrier Bricks : cells (corneocytes) Iron rods : hold cells together (corneodesmosomes) Cement : around the cells (lipid lamellae)

11 The brick wall model of the skin barrier

12 Fillagrin - Profillaggrin cleaved to fillagrin - Fillagrin aggregates the keratin skeleton and causes flattening - Filaggrin proteolysed into natural moisturising factor and acidifies the surface - Protects against Staph toxin induced keratinocyte death - Mutations cause dryness - Early onset AD - More persistent AD - Association with asthma, FA and infection - Enhanced expression of IL1 cytokines

13 Tight junctions on stratum Normal skin granulosum keratinocytes Atopic dermatitis De Benedetto JACI

14 Others - Filaggrin-2 - Hornerin - SPINK 5 gene (Serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 5) - Encodes the protease inhibitor lymphoepithelial Kazal-typerelated inhibitor (LEKTI) - Regulates desquamation - SPRR3 small proline rich protein 3

15 The brick wall model of the skin barrier Skin barrier breakdown in atopic dermatitis

16 The brick wall model of the skin barrier Portal of entry IRRITANTS ALLERGENS

17 Complexity: Interrelationships! Eczema as an entry point for allergens Intact skin Broken skin Stratum corneum Epidermis Dermis Subcutaneous tissue Systemic circulation
