Human beta-defensin-2 and psoriasin are overexpressed in lesions of acne inversa
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 06/24/09

Schlapbach C et al. - Antimicrobial peptide/proteins are overexpressed in acne inversa lesions as compared with normal-appearing skin. The site of the major expression depends on the particular antimicrobial peptide/protein. Psoriasin is overexpressed in epidermal keratinocytes whereas hBD-2 is produced mainly by dermal macrophages, leaving a relative deficiency of hBD-2 in the epidermis of acne inversa lesions.
