Abstract
AbstractKeratinocyte necroptosis (with proinflammatory characteristic) is required for epidermal damage in contact hypersensitivity (CHS). In DNCB-induced CHS mice model, we observed the aggravated keratinocyte death and increased phosphorylation level of MLKL, RIPK3 and RIPK1. However, CHS skin lesion did not present in keratinocyte-specific Mlkl knockout mice. We validated that MLKL-mediated keratinocyte necroptosis is required for epidermal damage in response to immune microenvironment in CHS. Moreover, MLKL-mediated necroptosis deficiency or inhibition resulted in blocking recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells in CHS via reducing HMGB1 release in keratinocytes. This study suggests that MLKL-mediated keratinocyte necroptosis functions as a self-amplified actor in inflammatory responses and could be considered as an effective therapeutic target. It proposes an innovative prospective that inhibiting keratinocyte necroptosis can prevent the development of epidermal damage in CHS.
