Epidermal gene expression in wound healing and after ex vivo injury

ABSTRACT: Human in vivo skin wound: Non-wounded skin was obtained by taking punch biopsies from three healthy donors (donor 1,2 and 3). The samples were termed 'skin day 0 in vivo wound'. Skin wound samples were retrieved by making new punch biopsies from the edge of the original biopsies after four days. These samples were termed 'skin day 4 in vivo wound'. As much dermal tissue as possible was removed by dissection to make sure mainly epidermis was present in the samples. The samples were washed in NaCl to possible remove infiltrating inflammatory cells before RNA isolation. Ex vivo skin wounds: Skin was obtained from three healthy donors following reduction surgery (donor 1, 2, and 3). As much dermal tissue as possible was removed dissection. These samples were termed 'skin day 0 ex vivo wound'.
