We demonstrate that skin-specific inactivation of Notch1 and Notch2 simultaneously, or RBP-J, induces the development of a severe form of atopic dermatitis (AD), characterized by acanthosis, spongiosis and hyperkeratosis, as well as a massive dermal infiltration of eosinophils and mast cells.

Notch mutant mice lacking TSLPR have a markedly less proliferative epidermis, do not develop spongiosis and have large a reduction in dermal inflammatory cells (arrows, n = 6 per sample group, three individual experiments).

Additional loss of TSLPR led to a markedly less proliferative epidermis, which was also devoid of spongiosis and displayed a substantial decrease in inflammatory dermal infiltrates compared to N1N2K5 animals (
