AD is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by complex pathogenesis and a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes presenting with underlying skin barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and pruritus.

Calcipotriol (MC903)-induced AD mouse model is well established and is widely used for research on the pathophysiology of human AD. Using MC903, we can induce the secretion of an alarmin, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), from keratinocytes through a cell autonomous event dependent on retinoid X receptor/vitamin D receptor, which then induces orchestrated DC-T cells-basophils-T cells cascade-derived Th2-type immune responses by stimulating IL-4 and IL-13 production by CD4+ T cells in skin-draining lymph nodes. By leveraging this powerful model, we can gain insights into the disease. This, in turn, enables us to develop more targeted and effective therapeutic strategies for AD.
