Abstract: A method is described that uses ROR gamma t, or ROR alpha to diagnose rosacea and/or to screen inhibitors of Th17 differentiation, notably in inhibiting ROR gamma t or ROR alpha. Also described is a method of using these screened inhibitors in rosacea treatment.

Abstract: Provided are methods of treating and/or preventing dermatological disorders. Provided are methods of reducing skin inflammation, reducing pain, and/or reducing itch in a subject in need thereof. The methods may include administering to the subject an effective amount of a TRPV4 inhibitor. Further provided are compositions including a TRPV4 inhibitor compound in combination with a carrier, vehicle, or diluent that is suitable for topical application. Further provided is a transgenic mouse whose genome includes deletions of the Trpv4 gene in keratinocytes of the epidermis, wherein said transgenic mouse is a knockout for the Trpv4 gene in keratinocytes of the epidermis following keratinocyte-specific activation and expression of a site-specific recombination enzyme.

Abstract: An in vitro method of screening candidate compounds for the preventive or curative treatment of rosacea is described. The method can include determining the capacity of a compound to modulate the expression or activity of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRPs), as well as the use of modulators of the expression or activity of this transcription factor for the treatment of rosacea. The method can also include in vitro diagnosis or prognosis of this pathology.

Abstract: Methods are described for using genes crucial in TH17 differentiation, IL-12Rbeta 1/IL-23R, CCR6, BATF, AHR, STAT3 and IRF4 as new markers for rosacea. Also described, are methods of their use to diagnose rosacea, to screen inhibitors of Th17 differentiation. In particular, method are described for inhibiting at least one of these genes and using the screened inhibitors in rosacea treatment.

Abstract: A process for the characterization of rosacea is disclosed. The process can include identifying for the first time new markers in leukocyte recruitment as well as the therapeutic applications targeting rosacea.

Abstract: An in vitro method of screening candidate compounds for the preventive or curative treatment of rosacea is described. The method can include determining the capacity of a compound to modulate the expression or activity of the Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) cation channel, subfamily A, member 1(TRPA1), as well as the use of modulators of the expression or activity of this transcription factor for the treatment of rosacea. The method can also include in vitro diagnosis or prognosis of this pathology.

Abstract: Markers for rosacea among the chemokines and cytokines and their receptors, selected from interleukin 8 (IL-8), CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3 and CXCL5, the CXCR1 receptor and the CXCR2 receptor are described. Also described, is a method for the diagnosis of rosacea.
