概要 Previous studies have shown that cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (cFLIP) prevents the development of dermatitis by blocking TNF-dependent apoptosis of keratinocytes. However, it is unclear whether TNF-independent signal might also promote the development of dermatitis in epidermis-specific Cflar-deficient (Cflar) mice. Here we show that Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice were born at the expected Mendelian ratio, but developed severe dermatitis and succumbed within 10 days after birth. Apoptotic keratinocytes and ectopic keratinization were detected in the epidermis, and numbers of proliferating basal cells were increased in Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice compared to Tnfrsf1a-/- mice along with the development of dermatitis. Epidermal differentiation markers, loricrin, fillagrin, and keratin (K)10, but not K5 were severely decreased in the skin of Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice at both mRNA and protein levels. Conversely, various inflammatory cytokines were elevated in the skin of Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice. Together, impaired barrier function of the skin promoted infection with commensal bacteria, resulting in further exacerbation of inflammation. Together, cFLIP suppresses TNFR1-dependent and -independent apoptosis of keratinocytes and promotes normal epidermal differentiation, thereby maintaining the skin homeostasis.
