No difference in UVB-induced changes in antigen-presenting cells and in cytokines between subjects with and without loss-of-function mutations in FLG

Abstract

Ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation-induced skin inflammation leads to epidermal depletion of Langerhans cells (LCs), which is followed by a rapid influx of monocytes.(1) Approximately 10% of Northern Europeans carry loss-of-function mutations in the filaggrin gene (FLG) which cause partial or complete lack of epidermal filaggrin and filaggrin metabolites.(2) Deficit of the filaggrin metabolite trans-urocanic acid has been shown to cause an increased keratinocyte photosensitivity to UVB irradiation in human skin models.(3)
