Abstract

The pathogenesis of canine atopic dermatitis (AD) involves dysfunction of the adaptive immune system. Recent evidence suggests that nonantigen-specific inflammatory elements may play a role in the development and perpetuation of canine AD. The objective of this review is to provide an update on recent advances in the understanding of the role of innate immune cells, keratinocytes, lipid metabolism and nutrition in the pathogenesis of AD in dogs. Citation databases, abstracts and proceedings from international meetings published between 2001 and 2013 are reviewed in this update. Where necessary, older articles are included for background information. Members of the innate immune system (including dendritic cells, Langerhans cells and mast cells) and keratinocytes interact with each other and with environmental antigens during both induction and effector phases of atopic inflammation. The responses of these cells and associated noncellular factors (such as complement and protease-activated receptors) to environmental stimuli influence the entire future course of the immune response to a given agent. Abnormalities in lipid metabolism may also influence the pathogenesis of canine AD via the production of inflammatory mediators and ...Continue Reading

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. Discover the latest research on atopic dermatitis here.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here
