Thus, IL-4 and IL-13 constitute the main cytokines associated with the pathogenesis of early AD, as in addition to promoting type 2 inflammatory responses and recruiting eosinophils to the skin, they damage the epidermal barrier by suppressing the expression of structural proteins such as filaggrin, loricrin, and lipids, while concomitantly increasing collagen deposition in the dermis, which results in skin remodeling and lichenification.61 The gene discussed is IL4; the disease is Alzheimer disease.
