Dab2 is deregulated in various cancers; however, its role in skin squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC) has not been elucidated yet. In the present study, we used the DMBA/TPA induced murine skin carcinogenesis model to examine the role of Dab2 in skin tumour progression. We generated tamoxifen inducible Dab2 conditional knockout system for our study. Loss of Dab2 led to delayed papilloma initiation and reduced papilloma burden. Delayed papilloma initiation was due to reduce proliferative potential of the papillomas due to Dab2 loss. Furthermore, while the WT papillomas progressed to SCC, the papillomas formed in Dab2 cKO mice failed to undergo malignant conversion to SCC. Dab2 cKO tumours showed reduced expression of K8, a marker for aggressive tumour. Moreover, Dab2 ckO tumours failed to undergo EMT as shown by reduced expression of Vimentin and Twist1. Dab2 cKO tumours also showed reduced expression of Sox2, a stem cell marker. Furthermore, qPCR analysis showed upregulation of Dab2 expression in the human skin cancer cell lines as compared to normal human skin keratinocytes. In patients, TCGA data analysis of skin cancer melanoma (SKCM) showed a trend where high levels of Dab2 correlated with poor overall survival.

Epilepsy is a rare comorbidity of NF1, with an incidence of just 4%–7%. While abnormal electroencephalograms have been seen in up to 25% of NF1 patients, very few studies have investigated the association between epilepsy and the NF1 patient profile. This study was aimed at evaluating the associations between epilepsy and demographics, comorbidities and healthcare outcomes in NF1 patients. The 2017 National Inpatient Sample (NIS) database was retrospectively queried for patients with NF1 using ICD-10 PCS codes. Chi-square tests were used in univariable analysis to compare patients within this cohort with and without epilepsy. Regression analysis was used in multivariable analysis to identify comorbidities that were predictors of epilepsy and the effect of comorbidities on outcomes. 4635 patients with NF1 were identified, of which 655 (14.1%) had epilepsy and 3980 (85.9%) did not. The NF1 patient population with epilepsy was largely comprised of White males of lower household income in larger urban/teaching hospitals and who used Medicare or Medicaid. Multivariable logistic regression revealed that malignant brain neoplasms, paralytic ileus, scoliosis, pregnancy complications, paralysis, other neurological disorders, metastatic cancer, coagulopathy, drug abuse and hypertension were predictors of developing epilepsy in NF1 patients.

Inflammation, confirmed by higher myeloperoxidase-positive cells, elevated tumour necrosis factor-α expression, and vascular endothelial damage, indicated by CD31 and pentraxin 3-positive cells, were observed in the BU group. The bacterial quantification showed no significant difference between the groups.

Inhibition of cellular glycolysis effectively suppresses the proliferation of keloid fibroblasts (KFs). Neural precursor cell-expressed developmentally downregulated gene 4-like (NEDD4L), a ubiquitin ligase, regulates cell proliferation in different diseases. This study investigated the effects of NEDD4L on glucose metabolism, proliferation and migration in KFs. Primary KFs were isolated from keloid skin tissues obtained from patients with active-stage keloids. Cell transfection was used to upregulate or downregulate NEDD4L and Yin Yang 1 (YY1) in KFs. Protein expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry and western blotting. The viability, proliferative capacity and migration ability of KFs were evaluated using the MTT method and the EdU and wound healing assays, respectively. The regulatory effect of NEDD4L on YY1 ubiquitination was examined by coimmunoprecipitation. The interaction between YY1 and hexokinase 2 (HK2) was confirmed by a dual-luciferase reporter assay. NEDD4L was downregulated, whereas YY1 and HK2 were highly expressed in keloid tissues compared with normal skin. Overexpression of NEDD4L inhibited the proliferation and migration of KFs. NEDD4L promoted YY1 degradation in KFs by inducing its ubiquitination. Upregulation of YY1 induced glucose consumption and lactate production in KFs via the transcriptional regulation of HK2. Increased expression of YY1 reversed the reduced viability, proliferation, and migration of KFs overexpressing NEDD4L. YY1 also reversed the NEDD4L-induced inhibition of glucose consumption and lactate production in KFs. Additionally, an in vivo study confirmed the inhibitory roles of NEDD4L overexpression and YY1 knockdown in keloid formation. NEDD4L suppressed the viability, proliferation and migration of KFs by regulating YY1 ubiquitination-mediated glycolysis through HK2. These findings suggest a novel regulatory axis, NEDD4L/YY1/HK2, that mediates glucose metabolism in keloid formation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12243,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Dermatology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142566492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Flow cytometry quantitatively analysed and defined the immunophenotype of CD4⁺CD25⁺CD127⁻FoxP3⁺ Tregs in blood from DRESS and SJS/TEN patients indicated that Treg percentages were lowest in DRESS patients during the acute phase compared to those in the recovery phase in DRESS patients and the acute phase in SJS/TEN patients. During the acute phase, CTLA-4 expression in Tregs in both DRESS patients with and without autoimmune sequelae was significantly increased, while only DRESS patients without autoimmune sequelae had elevated OX40 expression compared to the healthy controls. High IL-10 expression in Tregs during the acute phase in SJS/TEN patients was also observed. The suppressive function of Tregs was lower in DRESS compared to SJS/TEN, which was determined using a suppression assay by co-culturing autologous Treg and effector T cells. Furthermore, NanoString technology explored mRNA profiles in Tregs. Genes associated with the JAK/STAT pathway were found to be downregulated during the acute phase in DRESS patients who later developed autoimmune sequelae.

In this study, we retrospectively investigated its effectiveness, safety and laboratory data in patients with AD who received dupilumab for 3 years. All adult patients with moderate-to-severe AD who were administered dupilumab between June 2018 and December 2020 and were treated with dupilumab for more than 3 years were included in this study.

The clinical severity scales, including Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA), EASI and affected body surface area (BSA), and patient-reported outcomes, such as Dermatology Quality Life Index (DLQI), Patient-Oriented Eczema Measure (POEM) and visual analogue scale (VAS) of pruritus, significantly improved at 3 months, and at 1, 2 and 3 years after initiating dupilumab.

The abnormal erythrocytes were more likely to induce psoriasis, which was confirmed in a mouse model induced by different blood components of psoriatic patients/healthy volunteers. Spleen filtration dysfunction, which caused abnormal erythrocytes, was also more likely to induce psoriasis, which was confirmed in a mouse model induced by splenectomy. The mechanism was the weakening of the ‘eat me’ function of spleen macrophages phagocytizing ageing and deformed erythrocytes, resulting in the dysfunction of spleen filtration and the increase of ageing and deformed erythrocytes in the body. Additionally, the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity and the declined antioxidant capacity of those erythrocytes led to the hypoxia environment, making psoriasis more likely to be induced.
