| contents | The role of NRF2 transcription factor in inflammatory skin diseases Sara Salman Virginie Paulet Kévin Hardonnière Saadia Kerdine‐Römer BioFactors AbstractThe skin is the body's largest organ and performs several vital functions, such as controlling the movement of essential substances while protecting against external threats. Although mainly composed of keratinocytes (KCs), the skin also contains a complex network of immune cells that play a critical role in host defense and maintaining skin homeostasis. KCs proliferate in the basal layer of the epidermis and undergo differentiation, altering their functional and phenotypic characteristics. These differentiation steps are crucial for the stratification of the epidermis and the formation of the stratum corneum, ensuring the skin barrier's functions. Exposure to UV, environmental pollutants, or chemicals can lead to an overproduction of reactive species of oxygen (ROS), leading to oxidative stress. To ensure redox homeostasis and prevent damage resulting from the formation of ROS, the skin has an extensive network of antioxidant defense systems, mainly orchestrated by the nuclear factor erythroid‐2‐related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway. Indeed, Nrf2 induces the expression of detoxification and antioxidant enzymes and suppresses inductions of pro‐inflammatory cytokine genes. In this context, Nrf2 is critical in preserving skin functions such as epidermal differentiation, regulating skin immunity, and managing environmental stresses. Besides, this pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of common inflammatory skin diseases such as allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Therefore, the present review highlights the crucial role of Nrf2 in KCs for maintaining skin homeostasis and regulating skin immunity, as well as its contribution to the pathophysiology of inflammatory skin diseases. Finally, a particular emphasis will be placed on the therapeutic potential of targeting the Nrf2 pathway to alleviate symptoms of these inflammatory skin disorders. 10.1002/biof.70013 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
