Gasdermin A is Required for Epidermal Cornification during Skin Barrier Regeneration and in an Atopic Dermatitis-like Model.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology 2023 March 24
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is featured with impaired skin barrier. The stratum corneum (SC) and the intercellular tight junctions (TJs) constitute the permeability barrier, which is essential to protect the host water loss and pathogen entrance. The epidermal barrier is constantly renewed by differentiating keratinocytes through cornification, during which autophagy contributes to organelles and nucleus elimination. The human GSDMA and its mouse homologs Gsdma1-3 are expressed in the suprabasal epidermis. Although a pyroptotic role for GSDMA/Gsdma1 in host defense against Streptococcus pyogenes has been reported, the physiological function of Gsdma1/a2/a3 in epidermal homeostasis remains elusive. Herein, through repeated epidermal barrier disruption, we found that TJ formation and SC maturation were defective in the Gsdma1/a3-deficient epidermis. Using comparative gene profiling analysis, mitochondrial respiration measurement, and in vivo tracing of mitophagy, our data indicate that Gsdma1/a3 activation leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and subsequently facilitates mitochondrial turnover and epidermal cornification. In calcipotriol (MC903)-induced AD-like animal model, we demonstrated that Gsdma1/a3-deficiency selectively enhanced the Th2 response. Remarkably, the GSDMA expression is reduced in the epidermis of patients with AD compared to normal individuals. Gsdma1/a3-deficiency might be involved in AD pathogenesis, likely through GSDMA-mediated epidermal differentiation and cornification.
