Sweat proteomic of cystic fibrosis patients

ABSTRACT: Sweat plays a crucial role in thermo-regulation and skin health and potentially antimicrobial defense. Its composition is highly dynamic and its homeostasis involves a fine tuning of metabolic pathways. In-depth profiling of sweat protein composition will increase our understanding of skin disorders. Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is associated with high NaCl sweat concentration due to the absence of the CFTR protein. Patients with CF (pwCF) often display aquagenic palmoplantar keratodermia, a rare skin disorder characterized by skin wrinkling with oedema and whitish papules on the palms and/or soles, the pathophysiology of which is unknown. We report an in-depth analysis of the human sweat proteome of pwCF patients in comparison with that of healthy subjects (S).
