Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the association of filaggrin gene (FLG) polymorphism with atopic dermatitis (AD) in southern Chinese Han population.
Methods: The frequencies of the 13 known FLG gene single nucleotide polymorphism(SNPs), including 3321delA, 441delA, 1249insG, E1795X, S3296X, R501X, 2282del4, R2447X, S2889X, 7945delA, 3702delG, Q2417X, R4307X, were detected in a cohort of 50 AD patients and 100 control individuals using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and DNA sequencing.
Results: FLG 3321delA and 441delA were detected in 14 (28%) and 6 (12%) AD patients, respectively. The other 11 SNPs were not detected in the patients. None of the 13 SNPs was detected in the controls.
Conclusion: The results suggested that the FLG gene might be associated with atopic dermatitis susceptibility in southern Chinese Han population.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic dermatological disorder characterized by intense pruritus and eczematous lesions. Repeated topical application of 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) in NC/Nga mice produces AD-like clinical symptoms that closely resemble human AD. N-Acetyl-L-Alanine (L-NAA), a derivative of L-Alanine, has unknown biological and physiological effects on cutaneous tissue.

Allergic diseases, characterized by complex pathological mechanisms involving immune dysregulation and chronic inflammation, impose a substantial burden on global health. The Hippo signaling pathway, a highly conserved regulator of cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune homeostasis, and tissue repair, has recently emerged as a pivotal player in allergic disease pathogenesis. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the core components and physiological functions of the Hippo pathway, elucidates its mechanistic roles in major allergic disorders-including allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and food allergies-and evaluates the therapeutic potential of targeting this pathway.

The epidermal immune microenvironment is a multifaceted system in which the interplay between the skin microbiome and antimicrobial peptides plays a pivotal role in sustaining skin homeostasis and preventing dysbiosis. Disruption of these interactions can lead to inflammatory skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis. This review aims to explore the complex mechanisms by which antimicrobial peptides and the skin microbiome communicate within the epidermal immune microenvironment, emphasizing causal dynamics and the dual role of antimicrobial peptides.
