Th1 cytokines accentuate but Th2 cytokines attenuate ceramide production in the stratum corneum of human epidermal equivalents: An implication for the disrupted barrier mechanism in atopic dermatitis

Abstract Background Although the mechanism(s) involved in the ceramide deficiency in the stratum corneum (SC) of atopic dermatitis (AD) skin is unknown, Th2 type cytokines have been reported to down-regulate ceramide levels in the epidermis. However, almost all research to date has focused on cerami...
