Ligand-Independent Vitamin D Receptor Actions Essential for Keratinocyte Homeostasis in the Skin.

Int J Mol Sci

January 2025

Department of Pharmaceutical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Toyama Prefectural University, 5180 Kurokawa, Imizu 939-0398, Toyama, Japan.

Recently, we demonstrated that the alopecia observed in vitamin D receptor gene-deficient (-KO) rats is not seen in rats with a mutant VDR(R270L/H301Q), which lacks ligand-binding ability, suggesting that the ligand-independent action of VDR plays a crucial role in maintaining the hair cycle. Since -KO rats also showed abnormalities in the skin, the relationship between alopecia and skin abnormalities was examined. To clarify the mechanism of actions of vitamin D and VDR in the skin, protein composition, and gene expression patterns in the skin were compared among -KO, -R270L/H301Q, and wild-type (WT) rats.

Robustly detecting mpox and non-mpox using a deep learning framework based on image inpainting.

Sci Rep

January 2025

School of Mathematics and Systems Science, Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University, No. 293, Zhongshan Avenue West, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, 510665, China.

Due to the lack of efficient mpox diagnostic technology, mpox cases continue to increase. Recently, the great potential of deep learning models in detecting mpox and non-mpox has been proven. However, existing methods are susceptible to interference from various noises in real-world settings, require diverse non-mpox images, and fail to detect abnormal input, which makes them unsuitable for practical deployment and application.

Objective: Ichthyosis are complex skin diseases, characterized by hyperkeratosis with various degrees of thickening, desquamation, and erythema. The prenatal diagnosis of ichthyosis is challenged due to the clinical and genetic heterogeneity and the late-onset of fetal features on ultrasound scan. Here, we reported two fetuses with Harlequin ichthyosis (HI), a severe subtype of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI), who were diagnosed prenatally by images and genetic investigations.

Guggulsterone ameliorates psoriasis by inhibiting keratinocyte proliferation and inflammation through induction of miR-17 directly targeting JAK1 and STAT3.

Department of Dermatology, Affiliated Hospital of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The First Clinical Medical College of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shandong Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jinan 250011, China. Electronic address:

The pathogenesis of psoriasis involves hyperproliferation of epidermal keratinocytes and abnormal interactions between activated keratinocytes and infiltrating immune cells. Emerging evidence has shown that keratinocytes play essential roles in both the initiation and maintenance of psoriasis, suggesting that exposing keratinocytes to agents with antiproliferative and anti-inflammatory effects may be effective for psoriasis treatment. Guggulsterone (GS), a plant sterol derived from the gum resin of Commiphora wightii, possesses a variety of pharmacological activities.

Exposure to UV irradiation results in abnormal, extensive apoptosis of skin cells. This excessive cell death can promote inflammation and alter the microenvironment, increasing the risk of skin cancer. Despite extensive research, few materials are effective at simultaneously protecting against both UVA and UVB irradiation.
