The epidermis is composed of four major cell types in the mouse. In addition to keratinocytes and Langerhans cells, there are also melanocytes and Thyl+ lymphocytes. We propose that for the epidermis to maintain homeostasis, all four cell types must interact together in an integrated fashion. Vitiligo is a form of depigmentation that affects human subjects. Depigmentation is common in the animal kingdom. In at least several animal species, depigmentation is accompanied by loss of responsiveness of the epidermis to potent contact allergens like dinitrofluorobenzene. The C57Bl/Ler vit/vit mouse spontaneously depigments and is phenotypically similar to humans with vitiligo. We have studied this species extensively and have found that it has an isolated immune defect to contact allergens. In this report, we document that there is loss of epidermal melanocytes. Although there is a loss of epidermal contact sensitivity in this animal, other immune parameters such as dermal delayed-type hypersensitivity are normal. We attribute this loss of immune sensitivity in the epidermis to be associated with loss of the melanocyte. We report and review in detail the many peptides and other types of inflammatory mediators that affect both melanocyte function as well as immune responsiveness.
