In this study, we thoroughly evaluated different sampling materials, extraction solvents, taping methods (frequency and number of tapes), and analytical techniques to optimize skin surface metabolomics. Our results showed that the combination of D-Squame D100 tape with a methyl tert-butyl ether/methanol extractant is optimal for skin surface lipidomics.

However, a subset of patients experiences ocular adverse events (OAEs), including conjunctivitis and dry eye syndrome, the pathological mechanisms of which are still unknown. In a bicentric study, we used DNA microarray analysis to compare the transcriptome of conjunctival cells of patients with atopic dermatitis collected by impression cytology before (M0) and 4 months after (M4) initiating dupilumab treatment. Thirty-six patients were included and divided in 2 groups according to their ophthalmological status at M4: 12 with OAEs (OAE+) and 24 without (OAE-). The analysis revealed 52 differentially expressed genes between OAE+ and OAE- patients at M0 and 113 at M4. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis enrichment revealed a psoriasis signature in OAE+ patients, both before and after OAE outcomes. In addition, we noticed the overexpression of several genes involved in keratinocyte differentiation, particularly encoding cornified envelope components. Among the 16 differentially expressed genes selected for real-time RT-PCR validation, 9 were confirmed as upregulated at M4 in OAE+ versus OAE- patients, validating the psoriasis signature, whereas MUC7 was downregulated.

Recent evidence has shown that deep learning (DL) can assist pathologists in cancer classification, but this field is largely unexplored for cutaneous lymphomas. This study evaluates DL in distinguishing early-stage MF from benign inflammatory dermatoses using a unique dataset of 924 H&E-stained whole-slide images from skin biopsies, including 233 patients with early-stage MF and 353 patients with benign inflammatory dermatoses. All patients with MF were diagnosed after clinicopathological correlation. The classification accuracy of weakly supervised DL models was benchmarked against 3 expert pathologists. The highest performance on a temporal test set was at ×200 magnification (0.50 μm per pixel resolution), with a mean area under the curve of 0.827 ± 0.044 and a mean balanced accuracy of 76.2 ± 3.9%. This nearly matched the 77.7% mean balanced accuracy of the 3 expert pathologists. Most (63.5%) attention heatmaps corresponded well with the pathologists' region of interest. Considering the difficulty of the MF versus benign inflammatory dermatoses classification task, the results of this study show promise for future applications of weakly supervised DL in diagnosing early-stage MF.

After being phagocytosed by keratinocytes, melanin polarizes to supranuclear caps that protect against the genotoxic effects of UVR. We provide evidence that melanin-containing phagosomes undergo a canonical maturation process, with the sequential acquisition of early and late endosomal markers. Subsequently, these phagosomes fuse with active lysosomes, leading to the formation of a melanin-containing phagolysosome that we named melanokerasome. Melanokerasomes achieve juxtanuclear positioning through lysosomal trafficking regulators Rab7 and RILP. Mature melanokerasomes exhibit lysosomal markers, elude connections with the endo/phagocytic pathway, are weakly degradative, retain undigested cargo, and are likely tethered to the nuclear membrane. We propose that they represent a lysosomal-derived storage compartment that has exited the lysosome cycle, akin to the formation of lipofuscin in aged cells and dysfunctional lysosomes in lysosomal storage and age-related diseases. This storage lysosome allows melanin to persist for long periods, where it can exert its photoprotective effect efficiently.</p>","PeriodicalId":94239,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of investigative dermatology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142305324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
