摘要

Introduction: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by eczematous lesions and severe itching. However, its pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the causal relationship between plasma proteins and AD, as well as to identify and quantify the potential roles of immune cell phenotypes as mediators. Methods: We utilized summary-level data from genome-wide association studies and conducted a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis involving 4907 circulating plasma proteins, 731 immune cell phenotypes, and AD. Initially, we conducted bidirectional univariate MR analyses to forecast causal effects linking circulating plasma proteins and AD. Subsequently, we employed a two-step MR analysis to scrutinize the immune cell phenotypes that could mediate these effects. The inverse variance weighted was the main method employed for MR analysis, while the Cochran’s Q test and MR-Egger intercept test were used to assess the presence of heterogeneity and pleiotropy, respectively. We then determined whether our results could be influenced by individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms using the “leave-one-out” test. Results: Positive correlations were observed between KRT1, IL18R1, and SEMA6A and the risk of AD, whereas BDH2, ADAMTS3, ANKRD1, TIAM1, MID2, and IFNA16 all showed negative correlations with the risk of AD. Mediation analysis indicated that CD8 on CM CD8br cells acted as a mediator between IFNA16 and AD, with a mediation effect proportion of 11.2%. In addition, sensitivity analyses did not reveal significant heterogeneity or level pleiotropy. Conclusion: Our findings indicated the presence of a one-way causal relationship between the circulating plasma protein IFNA16 and AD. This study also explored immune cell phenotypes that may serve as mediators, offering novel insights into the etiology, pathogenesis, and potential clinical interventions in AD. Nevertheless, these findings need to be validated by clinical and laboratory studies.
