T cells promote distinct transcriptional programs of cutaneous inflammatory disease in human skin structural cells.

T cells and structural cells coordinate appropriate inflammatory responses and restoration of barrier integrity following insult. Dysfunctional T cell activity precipitates tissue pathology that occurs alongside disease-associated alterations of structural cell subsets, but the mechanisms by which T cells promote these changes remain unclear. We show that subsets of circulating and skin-resident CD4 T cells promote distinct transcriptional outcomes in human keratinocytes and dermal fibroblasts that correspond with divergent T cell cytokine production.
