The project "Influence of keratinocyte derived mediators on CD4
+ T cell plasticity investigated the mechanisms of T cell - keratinocyte crosstalk as well as the influence of environmental factors. It could be demonstrated that soluble mediators produced by keratinocytes distinctively influence T helper cell subtypes in their cytokine production and therefore support T cell plasticity. Moreover, contact to plant pollen alone or combined with UV-B light activated inflammasome mechanisms in keratinocytes and by this identified itself as a risk factor for inflammatory skin reactions.
