Although sweat is considered to be one of the major aggravating factors of atopic dermatitis (AD), recent studies have indicated the beneficial effects of sweat on host defense and antiinflammatory mechanisms (Murota et al., 2015, Watabe et al., 2013). Several studies have demonstrated that sweating is attenuated in patients with AD (Matsui et al., 2014a, Matsui et al., 2014b), but the precise underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Filaggrin (FLG) is a key protein involved in skin barrier function that is known to be decreased in the epidermis of patients with AD (Otsuka et al., 2014, Palmer et al., 2006). FLG contributes to stratum corneum (SC) hydration and skin pH. FLG also plays an important role in keratinocyte integrity, because a decreased FLG level gives rise to SC disintegration and abnormal keratinocyte differentiation (Brown and McLean, 2012, Pendaries et al., 2014). We consider that a decreased FLG expression in keratinocytes may affect the structure and function of sweat ducts that go through keratinization, which may eventually lead to a decrease of sweat secretion.
