Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic dermatologic disorder characterised by multiple vesiculopustular cutaneous lesions in skin. It sometimes express autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. In some patients, it can give rise to squamous cell carcinoma of skin. Unlike the usual marjolin's ulcer which develops in chronic scars, this disease carries a grave prognosis with high recurrence rate and mortality. Here we are reporting the case of a 40-year-old gentle man with hidradenitis suppurativa, who presented with squamous cell carcinoma in the perianal region, and had multiple family members affected with HS. A short history and review of literature are discussed. Squamous cell carcinoma arising from HS is a major therapeutic challenge. This malignancy carries very high rates of recurrence and mortality. Careful surveillance of the lesions of HS, especially occurring in perineal region is very important to diagnose secondary malignancies. Similarly, meticulous surgical excision with careful resection of all sinus tracks and frozen section examination of margins are very important to eradicate the disease.

Objective: The current study aimed to develop an experimental approach for the direct co-culture of three-dimensional breast cancer cells using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Methods: The following four cell culture groups were established in the Matrigel matrix: the untreated Michigan Cancer Foundation (MCF)-7 cell culture group, the MCF-7 cell culture plus cisplatin group, the untreated co-culture group, and the cell co-culture plus cisplatin group. For cell co-culture, MCF-7 cells, human mammary fibroblasts, and human umbilical vein endothelial cells were mixed at a ratio of 1:1:1.

Epigenetic Modulations of Non-Coding RNAs: A Novel Therapeutic Perspective in Sjӧgren's Syndrome.

Front Biosci (Landmark Ed)

Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease that can be classified as an epithelitis based on the immune-mediated attack directed specifically at epithelial cells. SS predominantly affects women, is characterized by the production of highly specific circulating autoantibodies, and the major targets are the salivary and lachrymal glands. Although a genetic predisposition has been amply demonstrated for SS, the etiology remains unclear.

Objective: A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis was conducted to investigate potential new diagnostic biomarkers and immune infiltration characteristics associated with tubulointerstitial injury in lupus nephritis (LN), and to examine possible correlations between key genes and infiltrating immune cells.

Methods: The GSE32591, GSE113342, and GSE200306 datasets were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified in the pooled dataset. Support vector machine-recursive feature elimination analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression model were used to screen for possible markers, and the compositional patterns of the 22 types of immune cell fractions in LN were determined using CIBERSORT.

Berberine alleviates AGEs-induced ferroptosis by activating NRF2 in the skin of diabetic mice.

Exp Biol Med (Maywood)

December 2024

Institute of Disease-Oriented Nutritional Research, Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China.

Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have adverse effects on the development of diabetic complications. Berberine (BBR), a natural alkaloid, has demonstrated its ability to promote the delayed healing of skin wounds. However, the impact of BBR on AGEs-induced ferroptosis in skin cells and the underlying molecular mechanisms remains unexplored.

Hair follicle cells reside within a complex extracellular matrix (ECM) environment in vivo, where physical and chemical cues regulate their behavior. The ECM is crucial for hair follicle development and regeneration, particularly through epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Current in vitro models often fail to replicate this complexity, leading to inconsistencies in evaluating hair loss treatments.
