Regnase-1 is an endoribonuclease that regulates the stability of target genes. Here, we investigated whether Regnase-1 plays a regulatory role in the pathophysiology of atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease. Regnase-1 levels were decreased in skin and serum of atopic dermatitis patients and mice. Regnase-1^+/- mice exhibited more severe atopic dermatitis symptoms than wild-type mice in a house dust mite allergen-induced atopic dermatitis model. Regnase-1 deficiency led to the global changes in gene expression related with innate immune and inflammatory responses, in particular chemokines. The skin Regnase-1 level had an inverse relationship with chemokine expression when we analyzed samples of atopic dermatitis patients and Regnase-1-deficient mice, suggesting that potentiated chemokine production contributes to the augmented inflammation at lesion sites. Subcutaneous administration of recombinant Regnase-1 to mice significantly ameliorated atopic dermatitis-like skin inflammation with reduced chemokine production in a house dust mite-induced atopic dermatitis NC/Nga mouse model. These results indicate that Regnase-1 plays an essential role in maintaining skin immune homeostasis as a regulator of chemokine expression. Modulating Regnase-1 activity may be an efficient therapeutic strategy for treating chronic inflammatory diseases, including atopic dermatitis.
