Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 3 Expression Is Increased In Non‐Lesional Skin Of Atopic Dermatitis Patients

Abstract

TRPV3 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 3) is a pro-inflammatory ion channel mostly expressed by keratinocytes of the human skin. Previous studies have shown that the expression of TRPV3 is markedly upregulated in the lesional epidermis of atopic dermatitis (AD) patients suggesting a potential pathogenetic role of the ion channel in the disease. In the current study, we aimed at defining the molecular and functional expression of TRPV3 in non-lesional skin of AD patients as previous studies implicated that healthy-appearing skin in AD are markedly distinct from normal skin with respect to terminal differentiation and certain immune function abnormalities. By using multiple, complementary immunolabeling and RT-qPCR technologies on full-thickness and epidermal shave biopsy samples from AD patients (lesional, non-lesional) and healthy volunteers, we provide the first evidence that the expression of TRPV3 is markedly upregulated in non-lesional human AD epidermis, similar to les ional AD samples. Of further importance, by using the patch-clamp method on cultured healthy and non-lesional AD keratinocytes, we also show that this upregulation is functional as determined by the significantly augmented TRPV3-specific ion current (induced by agonists) on cultured non-lesional AD keratinocytes when compared to healthy ones.
