Abstract

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory cutaneous disease. The role of host defense and microbial virulence factors in skin colonization, infection, and inflammation perpetuation in AD remains an area of current research focus. Extracellular vesicles (EV) mediate cell-to-cell communication by transporting and delivering bioactive molecules, such as nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes, to recipient cells. spontaneously secretes extracellular vesicles (SA-derived EVs) which spread throughout the skin layers. Previous research has shown that SA-derived EVs from AD patients can trigger cytokine secretion in keratinocytes, shape the recruitment of neutrophils and monocytes, and induce inflammatory AD-type lesions in mouse models, in addition to their role as exogenous worsening factors for the disease. In this review article, we aim to examine the role of SA-derived EVs in AD physiopathology and its progression, highlighting the recent research in the field and exploring the potential crosstalk between the host and the microbiota.
