Objective: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) is a highly lethal malignancy that poses a significant threat to human health. Recent research has shown that competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory networks play a critical role in the development and progression of various types of cancer, including SKCM. The objective of this study is to investigate the ceRNA regulatory network associated with the transmembrane protein semaphorin 6A (SEMA6A) and identify the underlying molecular mechanisms involved in SKCM.
Methods: Expression profiles of four RNAs, including pseudogenes, long non-coding RNAs, microRNAs, and mRNAs were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database. The analysis was completed by bioinformatics methods, and the expression levels of the selected genes were verified by cell experiments.
Results: Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the LINC00511-hsa-miR-625-5p-SEMA6A ceRNA network was associated with SKCM prognosis. Furthermore, immune infiltration analysis indicated that the LINC00511-hsa-miR-625-5p-SEMA6A axis may have an impact on changes in the tumor immune microenvironment of SKCM.
Conclusion: The LINC00511-hsa-miR-625-5p-SEMA6A axis could be a promising therapeutic target and a prognostic biomarker for SKCM.

Objectives: Cutaneous adnexal carcinomas (CACs) are rare skin cancers with no established treatment guidelines. Given the limited data, this study aims to explore the characteristics and outcomes of patients with CAC treated with radiation therapy (RT).
Methods: Patients diagnosed with CAC between 2000 and 2020 who received RT were included.

Recurrence beyond the second year of diagnosis and metastasis to the skin and eyelids are rare occurrences in breast cancer. When cutaneous metastases present without local recurrence, they pose a significant diagnostic challenge. Here, we describe a case of breast cancer that recurred 16 years after the initial treatment, with the only indication of recurrence being unusual skin and eyelid lesions.

The Total Improvement Score (TIS), which is used as the primary efficacy measure in dermatomyositis (DM) clinical trials, lacks a skin-specific measure. However, skin is a defining feature of DM. In this study, data were analyzed from the phase 3 trial of lenabasum in DM.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and inflammatory skin disorder characterized by impaired barrier function and imbalanced immunity. Recent advances have revealed that dysbiosis of skin microbiota plays important roles in the pathogenesis and development of AD. Meanwhile, endogenous and external factors contribute to the dysbiosis of skin microbiota in AD.
