Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an inflammatory skin disease characterized by barrier defect, immune dysregulation, and microbial dysbiosis. AD frequently precedes atopic disease at other barrier tissues, such as food allergies and asthma (Dharmage etáal., 2014). Despite the prevalence and impact of the disease, there are still few steroid-sparing treatment options and only one targeted therapy approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (Simpson etáal., 2016), reflecting the limits of current knowledge and strategies for intervention.To advance understanding of pathogenesis and treatment, a robust preclinical animal model is needed. Mice lacking Adam17 in Sox9-expressing tissue including epidermis (Adam17 fl/fl Sox9-Cre, henceforth A17) have been previously identified as a model for severe human AD based on the eczematous phenotype and spontaneous staphylococcal dysbiosis of A17 skin (Kobayashi etáal., 2015). Although useful, these endpoints capture only the most grossly aberrant features of AD and cannot validate the model for as-yet-unknown mechanisms of pathogenesis. To address these limitations, we analyzed unbiased changes across the entire skin transcriptome in A17 mouse skin. All experiments were performed under an animal study proposal approved by the National Cancer Institute Animal Care and Use Committee.
