Autoinflammatory keratinization diseases

TLDR
The concept of AIKDs encompasses diseases with mixed pathomechanisms of autoinflammation and autoimmunity, and hyperactivation of the innate immune system resulting from those genetic defects plays an important role in the pathogenesis.
Abstract
Inflammation caused by the hyperactivation of innate immunity due to genetic factors occasionally leads to inflammatory cutaneous keratinization diseases. Such inflammatory keratinization diseases with genetic autoinflammatory mechanisms are called “autoinflammatory keratinization diseases” (AiKDs). We proposed a four-part definition of AiKDs. (i) The sites of primary and main inflammation are the epidermis and the upper dermis. (ii) The inflammation at these sites leads to hyperkeratosis, which is the main and characteristic phenotype of AiKDs. (iii) The primary genetic causative factors are associated with the hyperactivation of innate immunity (autoinflammation), mainly in the epidermis and upper dermis. (iv) The concept encompasses diseases with mixed pathomechanisms of autoinflammation and autoimmunity.

RNA-Seq Analysis of IL-1B and IL-36 Responses in Epidermal Keratinocytes Identifies a Shared MyD88-Dependent Gene Signature.

TL;DR: The results provide a global view of IL-1B and IL-36 expression responses in epidermal KCs with fine-scale characterization of time-dependent and cytokine-specific response patterns and show that MyD88 adaptor protein mediates shared IL- 1B/IL-36 responses.

Mutations in IL36RN/IL1F5 are associated with the severe episodic inflammatory skin disease known as generalized pustular psoriasis

TL;DR: Findings suggest loss of function of IL36RN as the genetic basis of GPP and implicate innate immune dysregulation in this severe episodic inflammatory disease, thereby highlighting IL-1 signaling as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.

Sorting, recognition and activation of the misfolded protein degradation pathways through macroautophagy and the proteasome

TL;DR: The ER-activated autophagy (ERAA) pathway as mentioned in this paper was proposed to mitigate endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress caused by misfolded proteins, which activated a partial unfolded protein response involving PERK and/or IRE1.
