概要 Delicate balance between cell death and proliferation of keratinocytes is crucial for normal development of the skin. Previous studies have reported that cellular FLICE-inhibitory protein (cFLIP) plays a crucial role in prevention of keratinocytes from TNF-dependent apoptosis and blocking the development of dermatitis. However, it is unclear whether TNF-independent signal might contribute to the development of dermatitis in epidermis-specific Cflar-deficient (Cflar) mice. Here, we generated Cflar mice under Tnfrsf1a-proficient and -deficient genetic background. Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice were born at the expected Mendelian ratio, but developed severe dermatitis and succumbed soon after birth. In sharp contrast, CflarE-KO;Tnfrsf1a+/- mice exhibited embryonic lethality due to massive apoptosis of keratinocytes. While keratinocytes from Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice still died by apoptosis, neutralizing antibodies against FasL and TRAIL substantially prolonged survival of Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice. Expression of inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin (Il)6 and Il17a was elevated, conversely, expression of epidermal differentiation markers was severely downregulated in the skin of Cflar;Tnfrsf1a-/- mice. Treatment of primary keratinocytes with IL-6, and to a lesser extent IL-17A suppressed expression of epidermal differentiation markers. Thus, blockade of both TNFR1-dependent and -independent cell death might be an alternative strategy to treat skin diseases when treatment with anti-TNF antibody alone is not sufficient.
