VAV1 is a hematopoietic signal transducer and an oncogene in various cancers, however, the relevance of aberrant VAV1 expression in CTCL pathogenesis remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the expression pattern and underlying pathogenic mechanisms of VAV1 in CTCLs. The expression of VAV1 in CTCL tumour tissues and benign inflammatory dermatoses skin samples were examined by immunohistochemistry. CTCL cells were also transfected with lentiviral-based VAV1 gene knockdown vectors, and the effects of VAV1 knockdown on cell proliferation and apoptosis in CTCL cells was determined by MTS assay and flow cytometry. Transcriptomic sequencing was performed to detect the direct downstream targets of VAV1 silencing. RT-qPCR and western blot analysis were used to verify the transcriptomic analysis results. High expression of VAV1 was observed in CTCL tissues (n = 25) compared with benign inflammatory dermatoses (n = 23) using immunohistochemistry. VAV1 knockdown in two CTCL cell lines decreased cell proliferation and increased the percentage of apoptotic cells. Moreover, messenger RNA and protein expression of Bcl-2-modifying factor was increased, whereas that of bone morphogenetic proteins and activin membrane-bound inhibitor was downregulated in VAV1-silenced CTCL cells. VAV1 silencing induces apoptosis and inhibits cell growth, which is associated with upregulation of Bcl-2 modifying factor and downregulation of bone morphogenetic proteins and activin membrane-bound inhibitor. Therefore, VAV1 may be a potential tumour marker and therapeutic target for CTCLs.</p>","PeriodicalId":11968,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Dermatology","volume":"34 5","pages":"480-489"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142716038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To describe a novel dermoscopic sign in LM, namely the presence of a parallel pigmented network. Case series of 22 histopathologically-proven LM and lentigo maligna melanoma (LMM), diagnosed between 2018 and 2023, at a tertiary centre. All lesions showed a parallel network upon dermoscopy, in the form of parallel reticular lines, light or dark brown in colour, not emanating from the follicle, with an asymmetrical distribution. Reflectance confocal microscopy (RCM) images were reviewed to correlate these areas. The median age of patients was 73 years old. The majority of lesions were in situ (91%) and extrafacial (82%). Lesions showed minimal signs of atypia other than a parallel network and mostly focal erased areas (100%), followed by perifollicular linear projections (18%) and asymmetrical follicular pigmentation (18%). On RCM, focally areas correlated with atypical junctional thickenings distributed in a parallel fashion (100%) and mitochondria-like structures (23%). Most cases (88%) showed atypical cells in the epidermis, mostly in the form of isolated dendritic cells (41%). Parallel network emerges as a potential dermoscopic sign associated with LM. We hypothesize that in early stages of LM transformation, disruption of the reticular network manifests as parallel lines and/or radial perifollicular lines.
