What is IL-4
This perpetuates the type 2 inflammatory cascade and its effects through a positive feedback loop
|
What are Type 2 cytokines?
IL-5, IL-4, IL-13, IL-31
|
What are IL-4 and IL-13?
Key mediators of Type 2 inflammation
|
What is Dupixent?
Blocks IL-4 from binding to its receptor (IL-4Ra) on the cell's surface
|
What are IL-4 and IL-13?
Inhibiting the signaling of both may help control type 2 inflammation
|
What are cells responsible for inflammation?
Categorized as either T-Cell or Non-T-Cell source
|
What are IL-4 and IL-13?
They impact skin barrier dysfunction
|
What is IL-13?
This cytokine mediates tissue remodeling and fibrosis
|
What is IL-4?
This important cytokine drives Th2 differentiation
|
What are Th2 cells?
T-cell sources that are responsible for inflammation
|
What is IL-4?
Responsible for the initial and continued Th2 differentiation & expansion
|
What is Dupixent?
This works beneath the skin's surface, specifically targeting IL-4 and IL-13 signaling
|
What is the epidermis?
Allergens, irritants, pollutants, nanoparticles, microbes all enter through this part of the skin
|
What are mast cell, basophil, eosinophil and ILC2?
Non-T-cell sources that are responsible for inflammation
|
What are IL-4 and IL-13?
They have overlapping and distinct roles in perpetuating inflammation & skin barrier dysfunction in AD.
|
What is IL-4Ra?
Targeting this receptor blocks the signaling of IL-4 and IL-13
|
What are IL-4 and IL-13?
Impact skin barrier dysfunction
|
What is IL-4?
This cytokine takes a naive T-cell and turns it into Th2
|
What are IL-4 and IL-13?
They play a role in driving the itch-scratch cycle
|
What is Dupixent?
Approved to treat 3 indications driven by type 2 inflammation
