Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin condition and the leading cause of morbidity associated with skin conditions worldwide. For the majority of patients, AD is a lifelong disease that cannot be cured completely. Therefore, in the present study, differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the epidermal immune microenvironment were screened using bioinformatic techniques. Subsequently, an in vitro cellular model was constructed to investigate the role of microRNA (miR)‑155 in immune infiltration during AD. In the present study, two datasets (GSE121212 and GSE157194) were downloaded from Gene Expression Omnibus, before the DEGs were screened and subjected to Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes functional enrichment analyses. miRNet was used to predict the possible target genes of miR‑155 among the differentially expressed genes found. Consequently, peptidase inhibitor 3 (PI3), FOS‑like 1, AP‑1 transcription factor subunit (FOSL1), C‑X‑C motif chemokine ligand (CXCL)1 and CXCL8 were selected to be the potential target genes of miR‑155 in the epidermal immune microenvironment of patients with AD. Concurrently, an inflammatory cell model using HaCaT cells was constructed by TNF‑α and IFN‑γ treatment. The effects of miR‑155 on HaCaT cell proliferation and secretion of IL‑1β, IL‑6, IL‑10, IL‑15, PI3, FOSL1, CXCL1 and CXCL8 under inflammatory and non‑inflammatory conditions were then analyzed. The results showed that after the HaCaT cells were transfected with miR‑155, miR‑155 inhibited HaCaT cell proliferation and decreased the mRNA expression levels of PI3 and CXCL8, increased the mRNA levels of FOSL1 and secretion levels of IL‑1β, IL‑6, IL‑15 and CXCL1. By contrast, miR‑155 decreased the secretion levels of IL‑10 and CXCL8. In the inflammatory cell model of HaCaT cells, miR‑155 was found to significantly inhibit the proliferation of HaCaT cells during inflammation whilst significantly increasing the secretion of IL‑1β, IL‑6, IL‑10 and IL‑15. In addition, miR‑155 increased the mRNA expression and secretion levels of CXCL1 and CXCL8, whilst also increasing the mRNA expression levels of PI3. Results from the current study suggest that miR‑155 can stimulate keratinocytes to produce inflammatory cytokines and proteins to enhance the inflammatory response in AD.
