Lichenoid tissue reaction/interface dermatitis (LTR/IFD) is a pattern of skin inflammation characterized pathologically by infiltration of the skin basement membrane by auto-aggressive T cells, causing keratinocyte death (Sontheimer and Gilliam, 1981). A wide spectrum of skin disorders exhibit this set of histological features and mucocutaneous lesions, including acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD). Previous clinical studies on disorders with LTR/IFD have described that CD8+ T cells mainly infiltrate the blistered epidermis and their number increases concomitantly with disease progression. The infiltrating CD8+ T cells were distributed around apoptotic keratinocytes and express PRF1 and granzyme (Gzm) B (Correia et al., 2001, Jungell et al., 1989, Paller et al., 1988, Takata et al., 1993). Serum levels of soluble FasL produced by CD8+ T cells were also reportedly increased in patients with aGVHD (Liem et al., 1998). Studies with allogeneic bone marrow transplant murine models also supported these clinical observations (Baker et al., 1996, Braun et al., 1996, Graubert et al., 1996). We particularly evaluated the impact of PRF1/Gzm and Fas/FasL pathways on LTR/IFD.We used chicken ovalbumin (OVA) transgenic mice, in which keratinocytes express membrane-bound OVA under the control of a keratin 14 promoter (K14-mOVA mice). K14-mOVA mice develop aGVHD-like mucocutaneous disease (Supplementary Figure S1 online) and weight loss was observed after transfer of transgenic CD8+ T cells expressing OVA-specific T-cell receptor (from GFP transgenic OT-I mice)(Shibaki et al., 2004). Weight loss during late-phase reflects the severity of mucocutaneous lesions causing difficulty in food intake. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of ear specimens showed LTR/IFD (Supplementary Figure S2 online). Immunofluorescence staining with anti-GFP antibodies revealed infiltration of GFP+ OT-I cells in the epidermis and dermis, which resulted in a number of dead keratinocytes revealed by TUNEL assay (Supplementary Figure S2). The disease is mediated by CD8+ T cells (Supplementary Figure S3 online).
