Taken together, these results showed that combined inhibition of FADD/caspase-8-dependent apoptosis and RIPK3-dependent necroptosis prevented keratinocyte death and the development of skin lesions in Sharpincpdm/cpdm mice, providing in vivo genetic evidence that skin inflammation is triggered by TNFR1-induced death of Sharpin-deficient keratinocytes. This evidence concerns the gene SHARPIN and dermatitis.
