Since deficiency of caspase-8 or FADD alone in epidermal keratinocytes triggers a RIPK3-dependent skin inflammation (Bonnet et al., 2011; Weinlich et al., 2013), we could not directly investigate the role of FADD or caspase-8 in the TNF-induced death of Sharpin-deficient keratinocytes in vivo. This evidence concerns the gene CASP8 and dermatitis.
