Project description:To acquire a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of HS, we performed mRNA microarray studies to compare gene expression in lesional skin to healthy skin of HS patients. A significant difference was observed in mRNA expression between lesional and clinically healthy skin of HS patients. Skin biopsy samples (n=30, LS: lesion, NL: non-lesion) were collected at baseline from patients with hidradenitis for RNA extraction and microarray analysis.

Project description:We studied the transcriptomic profile of actinic keratosis (AK) skin compared to matched samples from uninvolved skin (US) before and after treatment with ingenol mebutate gel. We found that AK has a distinct mRNA profile that separates it from uninvolved skin. In particular, numerous genes associated with epidermal development and keratinocyte differentiation, such as LCE3D, SPRR1A, PI3 and several genes in the keratin family were highly expressed in AK0 skin, but not in US0, in line with the hyperkeratosis characteristic for AK. Topical application of ingenol mebutate had a profound effect on the gene expression profile, and interestingly, many more genes were affected in US than in AK. Enrichment analysis revealed that the main responses to ingenol mebutate treatment of both US and AK were inflammatory response, response to wounding, and wound healing. 30 skin biopsies were analysed; 5 from each of 6 AK patients. Before initiation of treatment, baseline biopsies were taken from one AK lesion (AK0) and from uninvolved skin (US0). A third biopsy was taken after day 1 application of ingenol mebutate from one AK lesion (AK1). The fourth and fifth biopsies were obtained one day after the second topical application with ingenol mebutate from an AK lesion (AK2) and from uninvolved skin (US2), respectively.

Project description:A gene expression profiling sub-study was conducted in which skin biopsy samples were collected from 85 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis who were participating in ACCEPT, an IRB-approved Phase 3, multicenter, randomized trial. This analysis identified 4,175 probe-sets as being significantly modulated in psoriasis lesions (LS) compared with matched biopsies of non-lesional (NL) skin. Skin biopsy samples (n=170) were collected at baseline for RNA extraction and microarray analysis from 85 patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis without receiving active psoriasis therapy.

Project description:Wound healing within the oral mucosa results in minimal scar formation compared to wounds within the skin. We have recently demonstrated distinct differences in the ageing profiles of cells (oral mucosal and patient-matched skin fibroblasts) isolated from these tissues. We hypothesize that the increased replicative potential of oral mucosal fibroblasts may confer upon them preferential wound healing capacities. Passage-matched early cultures of oral mucosal fibroblasts and skin fibroblasts demonstrated distinct gene expression profiles with a number of genes linked to wound healing/tissue repair. We analyzed the gene expression profiles of oral mucosal and patient-matched skin fibroblasts for multiple patients both prior to (0h) and (6h) following a wounding stimulus. Differences in the gene expression profiles of oral mucosal and patient-matched skin fibroblasts were anlazyed for multiple patients both prior to (0h) and (6h) following a wounding stimulus. Serum starvation and subsequent stimulation provides a model for wounding and RNA extracted at 0h and 6h following this stimulus was hybridized to Affymetrix microarrays for analysis. We sought to compare the expression profiles both between oral and normal fibroblasts, in both serum depleted and stimulated conditions and also compare differences between patients.

Project description:Background: Plaque psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the development of red scaly plaques. To date psoriasis lesional skin transcriptome has been extensively studied, whereas only few proteomic studies of psoriatic skin are available. Aim: The aim of this study was to compare protein expression patterns of lesional and normally looking skin of psoriasis patients with skin of the healthy volunteers, reveal differentially expressed proteins and identify changes in cell metabolism caused by the disease. Methods: Skin samples of normally looking and lesional skin donated by psoriasis patients (n = 5) and samples of healthy skin donated by volunteers (n = 5) were analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). After protein identification and data processing, the set of differentially expressed proteins was subjected to protein ontology analysis to characterize changes in biological processes, cell components and molecular functions in the patients' skin compared to skin of the healthy volunteers. Results: The performed analysis identified 405 and 59 differentially expressed proteins in lesional and normally looking psoriatic skin compared to healthy control. We discovered decreased expression of KNG1, APOE, HRG, THBS1 and PLG in normally looking skin of the patients. Presumably, these changes were needed to protect the epidermis from spontaneous activation of kallikrein-kinin system and delay the following development of inflammatory response. In lesional skin, we identified several large groups of proteins with coordinated expression. Mainly, these proteins were involved in different aspects of protein and RNA metabolism, namely ATP synthesis and consumption; intracellular trafficking of membrane-bound vesicles, pre-RNA processing, translation, chaperoning and degradation in proteasomes/immunoproteasomes. Conclusion: Our findings explain the molecular basis of metabolic changes caused by disease in skin lesions, such as faster cell turnover and higher metabolic rate. They also indicate on downregulation of kallikrein-kinin system in normally looking skin of the patients that would be needed to delay exacerbation of the disease.

Project description:Our understanding of how human skin cells differ according to anatomical site and tumour formation is limited. To address this we have created a multi-scale spatial atlas of healthy skin and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), incorporating in vivo optical coherence tomography, single cell RNA sequencing, spatial global transcriptional profiling and in situ sequencing. Computational spatial deconvolution and projection revealed the localisation of distinct cell populations to specific tissue contexts. Although cell populations were conserved between healthy anatomical sites and in BCC, mesenchymal cell populations including fibroblasts and pericytes retained signatures of developmental origin. Spatial profiling and in silico lineage tracing support a hair follicle origin for BCC and demonstrate that cancer-associated fibroblasts are an expansion of a POSTN+ subpopulation associated with hair follicles in healthy skin. RGS5+ pericytes are also expanded in BCC suggesting a role in vascular remodelling. We propose that the identity of mesenchymal cell populations is regulated by signals emanating from adjacent structures and that these signals are repurposed to promote the expansion of skin cancer stroma. The resource we have created is publicly available in an interactive format for the research community.

Project description:Tha altered biological pathways in Epidermolysis bulloda simplex, a rare monogenetic skin disease, have not been well characterized. Thus, the goal of this study is to characterize the expression profile of EBS patients compared with normal subjects using genomic expression analyses. Microarray analyses were performed with RNA isolated from skin biopsies. Robust multiarray analysis (RMA) normalization and Smyth’s moderated t test were used to select differentially expressed genes. Expression profiling comparisons show that 28 genes are differentially expressed in EBS patients compared to control subjects and 41 genes in EBS-DM compared to their matched controls. Nine genes involved in fatty acid metabolism and 2 genes in epidermal keratinisation are common altered expressed genes between the two subgroups. These two biological pathways contribute both to the formation of the cell envelope barrier and seem to be defective in the severe EBS phenotype. This study demonstrates, for the first time, the relevance of metabolic cluster, specifically fatty acid metabolism in EBS biology. Difference of expression for three (AWAT2, ELOVL , and SPRR4 ) of the five selected genes were validated using real-time reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction. To our knowledge, the distinctive pattern of gene expression that characterizes EBS versus healthy skin tissue has never been reported. RNA used for the microarrays analysis was isolated from superficial 2mm punch biopsies composed of mainly epidermis with minimal dermis amounts of normal-appearing skin of six EBS patients ( two females and four males) and six healthy volunteers.
