T cell-mediated autoimmune skin diseases arise from aberrant immune response to skin cells, with immunomodulating agents proving successful in their management thanks to improved understanding of pathophysiology. This study discusses immunopathogenic mechanisms and the role of T lymphocytes in these diseases, offering new insights into targeted therapeutic pathways and biological therapies.
T cell-mediated autoimmune skin diseases develop as a result of the aberrant immune response to the skin cells with T cells playing a central role. These chronic inflammatory skin diseases encompass various types including psoriasis, lichen planus and vitiligo. These diseases show similarities in their immune-pathophysiology. In the last decade, immunomodulating agents have been very successful in the management of these diseases thanks to a better understanding of the pathophysiology. In this review, we will discuss the immunopathogenic mechanisms and highlight the role of T lymphocytes in psoriasis, lichen planus and vitiligo. This study could provide new insights into a better understanding of targeted therapeutic pathways and biological therapies.
