The skin is recognized as a peripheral lymphoid organ that plays an essential defensive action against external environmental stimuli. However, continuous stimulation of these factors causes chronic inflammation at the local site and occasionally causes tissue damage. Chronic inflammation is recognized as a trigger for systemic organ inflammation. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease that is influenced by various external environmental factors, such as dry conditions, chemical exposure, and microorganisms. The pathogenesis of AD involves various Th2 and proinflammatory cytokines. Recently updated studies have shown that atopic skin-derived cytokines influence systemic organ function and oncogenesis. In this review, we focus on AD’s influence on the development of systemic inflammatory diseases and malignancies. |
