The purpose of this study was to determine whether TCR signaling is required for the generation and persistence of epidermal CD8<sup>+</sup> T<sub>RM</sub> cells in a mouse model for allergic contact dermatitis. We examined the responses to four different contact allergens in combination with adoptive transfer and prime-pull experiments. We determined the presence of contact allergen in the skin by Western blot analysis. We found that epidermal CD8<sup>+</sup> T<sub>RM</sub> cells can develop in the absence of the cognate antigen and TCR signaling as determined by Nur77 induction, whereas persistence of epidermal CD8<sup>+</sup> T<sub>RM</sub> cells requires presence of the cognate antigen and correlates with Nur77 expression. In the presence of contact allergen, a selective expansion of specific TCR clonotypes was seen.

This study assessed the TYK2 inhibitory potency and selectivity of zasocitinib versus licensed TYK2 and JAK inhibitors. Binding affinities were determined using homogenous time-resolved fluorescence. In vitro concentration-percent inhibition curves for IL-23-phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription (pSTAT) 3, type I IFN-pSTAT3, IL-12-pSTAT4, IL-2-pSTAT5 and thrombopoietin-pSTAT3 pathways were established using human whole blood assays. Relationships between concentration and percent inhibition were determined to estimate half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC<sub>50</sub>). Time above IC<sub>50</sub> and percent daily inhibition were modeled from simulated clinical concentrations. Zasocitinib bound the TYK2 Janus homology 2 domain with a inhibitory constant of 0.0087nM, demonstrating more than 1 millionfold selectivity over JAK1. Zasocitinib potently inhibited TYK2 signaling, with IC<sub>50</sub>s for IL-23-pSTAT3, type I IFN-pSTAT3 and IL-12-pSTAT4 of 48.2nM (95% confidence interval [CI]: 36.8-63.1nM), 21.6nM (95% CI: 17.3-26.9nM) and 57.0nM (95% CI: 44.2-73.4nM), respectively; zasocitinib showed no inhibition of JAK1/2/3. Simulated clinical concentrations of zasocitinib 30 mg once daily exceeded the TYK2 IC<sub>50</sub> for 24 hours, maintaining >90% daily inhibition, with no JAK1/2/3 inhibition.

These microbial immigrants formed the genus Cutibacterium, and a descendent of those microbial trailblazers (C. acnes) now dominates 25% of human skin. C. acnes colonization of human skin requires the protein RoxP. While all Cutibacteria encode this adaptation to life on humans, nothing like RoxP has been found in any other organism. Herein, we report an extensive assessment of twenty-one RoxP orthologs, which identified conserved molecular surfaces linked to heme-dependent oligomerization and low pH stability. Our investigation suggests how RoxP helps C. acnes dominant sebaceous skin, and it identified an ortholog associated with the emergence of an acne vulgaris-associated, pathobiont subspecies. C. acnes is also an emerging pathogen that frequently infects joint prostheses and other medical devices. These infections are often missed, because there is no test to confirm a C. acnes infection. To address this clinical need, we developed immunoassays that can assess RoxP in human biofluids commonly infected by C. acnes. This study's findings and assays will help shed light on the consequences of Neolithic Age livestock domestication, the evolution of skin commensals into pathogens, and how to identify infections of human \"replacement parts.\"</p>","PeriodicalId":94239,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of investigative dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144175593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
