Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Netherton syndrome (NS) is a rare but severe type of ichthyosis characterized by atopy, allergies, and potentially lethal skin overdesquamation associated with highly elevated proteolytic activities in LEKTI-deficient epidermis. NS symptoms are recapitulated in Spink5-/- mouse where the gene encoding Lekti has been invalidated. Spink5-/- mice die within 5h from birth due to their severe skin barrier defect leading to dehydration. Spink5-/- mice also serve as a model for atopic dermatitis. The KLK6 protease is expressed by epidermal keratinocytes and shown in vitro to cleave desmosomal components. OBJECTIVE:To investigate in vivo whether KLK6 is implicated in epidermal overdesquamation and/or inflammation associated with NS. METHODS:The role of KLK6 was evaluated by generating Spink5-/-Klk6-/- double knockout mice. The phenotype was assessed by macroscopic observation, immunohistochemistry for differentiation markers, in situ zymography for proteolysis, and quantification of proinflammatory cytokines. RESULTS:Elimination of Klk6 in Spink5-/- remarkably suppresses the expression of Tslp, a major itching-inducing factor and driver of allergic reactions. Tnfα and the Th17 promoting cytokine Il-23 were also suppressed. Spink5-/-Klk6-/- mice display normalized keratinocyte differentiation, nevertheless, epidermal proteolytic activities and the associated overdesquamation were not ameliorated, and Spink5-/-Klk6-/- still died from a severe epidermal barrier defect as the Spink5-/-. CONCLUSIONS:Ablation of Klk6 largely suppresses epidermal inflammation but cannot rescue overdesquamation leading to the lethal NS phenotype. Nonetheless, our findings demonstrate for the first time that KLK6 is implicated in skin inflammation and may represent a novel druggable target for NS and other inflammatory conditions e.g. atopic dermatitis.
