Atopic dermatitis in adults: evaluation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells proliferation response to Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxins A and B and analysis of interleukin‐18 secretion

Abstract: A decreased PBMC proliferation response to distinct antigens and mitogens (TT, CMA, SEA and PHA) in adults with AD suggest a compromised immune profile. IL-18 secretion from AD upon stimulation was similar from controls, which may indicate a diverse mechanism of skin inflammation maintained by Staphylococcus aureus. On the other hand, augmented IL-18 secretion from AD sera and non-stimulated cell culture may enhance the immune dysfunction observed in AD, leading to constant skin inflammation.

“…When analyzing the role of S. aureus in AE, several factors have to be taken into account. First, there seem to be crucial factors for a preferential adherence and a continuous colonization on atopic skin (6); second, defense factors are impaired in atopic individuals including diminished defensin expression and polymorphisms in pattern recognition receptors (7–9); third, there is a preferential induction of IgE antibodies against staphylococcal components in atopic patients leading to aggravation of clinical symptoms (10); and fourth, many of the strains isolated from AE are producers of superantigens, which continuously stimulate the host immune system and thereby contribute as a distinct risk factor for the chronification and exacerbation of skin symptoms (11–13).…”

“…Early recognition of their characteristic as superantigens promoted theoretical considerations that these microbial contaminants might contribute to the underlying causes of self-reactive autoimmune disease due to the nature of the interaction between the microbial superantigen and host cells [1,2]. The SEs have since been implicated in the induction of several human autoimmune exacerbations that include allergic airway disease [3,4], atopic dermatitis [5,6], inflammatory arthritic conditions [3], and colitis [7]. Indeed, patients exhibiting dust mite-induced allergic rhinitis or asthma demonstrate significant levels of IgE antibodies to SEA, SEB, and SEC [8] as well as elevated levels of serum eosinophil cationic protein, an indicator of asthma and rhinitis.…”
