CCL22 to activate Treg migration and suppress depigmentation in vitiligo
In vitiligo, gradual cutaneous depigmentation and cytotoxic T-cell activity against melanocytes are accompanied by a paucity of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in vitiligo patient skin, indicating that autoimmune responses are not adequately held in check. Thus, we sought a means to repopulate patient skin with Tregs. We hypothesized that enhanced expression of CCL22 can promote Treg skin homing to ...
متن کاملImmunological basis of melanoma-associated vitiligo-like depigmentation.
Vitiligo is a skin condition characterized by white, hypopigmented macules. Melanocyte loss is a feature of the disease, and it has been hypothesized that an autoimmune mechanism could be responsible for the depigmentation. Melanoma is a malignancy that develops in melanocytes; if not detected and treated early, it is often deadly. Leukoderma, a condition characterized by depigmentation of the ...
متن کاملGenital vitiligo-like depigmentation following use of imiquimod 5% cream.
342 d o i : 10.84/ejd .208.0402 Most authors recommend a quick freeze and slow thaw method of tissue destruction. Slow cooling produces extracellular ice, but this is not as damaging as rapid cooling that produces intracellular ice formation. With slow thawing, an increased concentration of electrolytes and recrystallization occurs, which is also damaging to cells. Thus the rate of rewarming, o...
متن کاملDepigmentation therapies for normal skin in vitiligo universalis.
If vitiligo involves most of the body, it might be easier to depigment the normal remaining skin rather than to attempt repigmentation. We reviewed the literature to date regarding available therapies for depigmenting the normal skin in vitiligo universalis. Our review revealed that the threshold regarding what percentage of body surface area qualifies as depigmentation is variable among practi...
متن کاملVitiligo-like Depigmentation Associated with Metastatic Melanoma of an Unknown Origin.
Although malignant melanoma usually occurs after the diagnosis of vitiligo-like depigmentation, the latter is rarely followed by the former. We herein report on such a case in which recognition of the vitiligo-like depigmentation preceded diagnosing the metastatic melanoma by several months. A 56-year-old woman had first developed vitiligo-like depigmentation on the forehead, eyelids, neck and ...
