Article Abstract

Immunocytochemical methods were used to study the population of keratinocytes of interfollicular epidermis in rats under the conditions of morphogenesis, experimentally modified by an application of 13-cis-retinoic acid (0.025% and 0.05% solutions for two weeks). The treatment resulted in the increase of the number of PCNA+ and Ki-67+ nuclei in the epidermis and of the thickness of epithelial cell layer, not involved in cytokeratin 10 synthesis.

EGFR-TKIs induce acneiform rash and xerosis via Caspase-3/GSDME-mediated pyroptosis of keratinocytes and sebocytes.

Skin toxicities are the most common adverse effects of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). While EGFR-TKIs induce pyroptosis in lung cancer cells through Gasdermin E (GSDME) activation, it is unknown whether they can similarly affect skin cells. In this study, we used immunohistochemistry to demonstrate that in acneiform rash, the N-terminus of GSDME (GSDME-N) is predominantly expressed in the basal layer of the follicular epithelium and sebocytes, while it is absent in the interfollicular epidermis.

Hair regrowth in alopecia areata and re-pigmentation in vitiligo in response to treatment: Commonalities and differences.

J Eur Acad Dermatol Venereol

September 2024

Inflammation & Immunology Research Unit, Pfizer, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

Both alopecia areata (AA) and vitiligo share common pathogenesis involving, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-15 (IL-15) signalling pathways that activate cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocytes. These shared mechanisms may explain why both diseases respond to currently available treatments (e.g.

Studying human skin biology can aid in comprehending the pathophysiology of skin diseases and developing novel cell-based therapies, including tissue engineering approaches. This chapter provides a comprehensive guide of methods to determine human skin samples from the perspective of their cellular compositions. We describe as useful technique the histological analysis of tissue sections.

Article Synopsis
  • In the interfollicular epidermis, keratinocyte stem cells (KSC) produce transit amplifying (TA) cells that eventually differentiate; a new type called "early" TA (ETA) cells has been identified with unique characteristics.
  • Research shows that as children grow from infancy to childhood, their skin becomes less susceptible to UV damage, with an increase in differentiation gene expression and a decrease in stemness gene expression.
  • Additionally, KSC and ETA cells derived from infants have a higher proliferation rate and regenerative capacity compared to those from young children, highlighting significant changes in skin cell characteristics as children age.

The epidermis hosts populations of epithelial stem cells endowed with well-documented renewal and regenerative functions. This tissue thus constitutes a model for exploring the molecular characteristics of stem cells, which remain to date partially characterized at the molecular level in human skin. Our group has investigated the regulatory functions of the KLF4/TGFB1 and the MAD4/MAX/MYC signaling pathways in the control of the immaturity-stemness versus differentiation fate of keratinocyte stem and precursor cells from human interfollicular epidermis.
