Abstract

The skin of patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) is superficially colonized by Staphylococcus aureus. We have previously found that percutaneous permeation of peptidoglycan (PEG) from S. aureus increases the number of mast cells in the dermis, as seen in skin lesions of AD patients. The purpose of the present study was to clarify the influence of PEG on T helper type 1 (Th1)/ T helper type 2 (Th2) cell development mediated by mast cells. Mast cells were induced by long-term culture of murine spleen cells in medium supplemented with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- a. Ovalbumin (OVA) peptide-pulsed mast cells were incubated with naïve Th cells in the presence or absence of PEG. Five days later, Th cells in the culture were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) and ionomycin, and Th1/Th2 cytokine production was investigated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It was confirmed that the mast cells we obtained had surface expression of I-Ad, worked as antigen-presenting cells, and induced Th1 cell and Th2 cell development. The stimulation of mast cells with PEG enhanced the development of Th1 cells but not that of Th2 cells. The increase of Th1 cell development stimulated by PEG was associated with an increase in the e...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.

Atopic Dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory genetically determined disease of the skin marked by increased ability to form reagin (IgE), with increased susceptibility to allergic rhinitis and asthma, and hereditary disposition to a lowered threshold for pruritus.
