ABSTRACT
Introduction:
The cutaneous lymphocyte antigen interacts with E-selectin on endothelial cells and is expressed on 15% of circulating T-cells. Skin-homing T-cells express the cutaneous lymphocyte antigen and play a role in local cutaneous immunity in inflammatory reactions and neoplastic conditions.Areas covered Lymphocyte extravasation is the essential para-physiological mechanism enabling immune surveillance of tissues for tumors as well as effector cell recruitment to inflammatory sites.The authors focused on skin inflammatory disorders, on cutaneous lymphoproliferative disease, and on other skin malignancies.Expert opinion Interfering with leukocyte extravasation has been regarded as an attractive strategy in skin disorders, in the past for inflammatory conditions and more recently for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Therapeutic blocking of skin-homing interactions has been attempted in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis and has been achieved in the treatment of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. Cutaneous lymphocyte antigen is a potential molecular target for both systemic and skin-directed therapy for cutaneous T-cell lymphomas.Palavras-chave
