Objective: To investigate the effects of overexpressed keratin 17 (KRT17) on the biology of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) and to explore the mechanism of KRT17 in diabetic wound healing.
Methods: KRT17 expression was tested in diabetic keratinocytes, animal models, and patient skin tissues (Huazhong University of Science and Technology Ethics Committee, [2022] No. 3110). Subsequently, HDFs were stimulated with different concentrations of KRT17 in vitro. Changes in the proliferation and migration of HDFs were observed. Then, identification of KRT17-induced changes in dermal fibroblast of RNA sequencing-based transcriptome analysis was performed.
Results: KRT17 expression was upregulated under pathological conditions. In vitro stimulation of HDFs with different concentrations of KRT17 inhibited cell migration. RNA-seq data showed that enriched GO terms were extracellular matrix components and their regulation. KEGG analysis revealed that the highest number of enriched genes was PI3K-Akt, in which integrin alpha-11 (ITGA11) mRNA, a key molecule that regulates cell migration, was significantly downregulated. Decreased ITGA11 expression was observed after stimulation of HDFs with KRT17 in vitro.
Conclusion: Increased expression of KRT17 in diabetic pathological surroundings inhibits fibroblast migration by downregulating the expression of ITGA11. Thus, KRT17 may be a molecular target for the treatment of diabetic wounds.

Unlocking the genetic secrets of Dorper sheep: insights into wool shedding and hair follicle development.

Dorper sheep is popular among farming enterprises with strong adaptability, disease resistance, and roughage tolerance, and an unique characteristic of natural shedding of wool. In a large number of observations on experimental sheep farms, it was found that the wool of some sheep still had not shed after May, thus manual shearing was required. Therefore, understanding the molecular mechanisms of normal hair follicles (HFs) development is crucial to revealing the improvement of sheep wool-related traits and mammalian skin-related traits.

Objective: This study investigates the proteomic profiles of oral epithelial dysplasia with lichenoid features (OEDwithLF) and evaluates its relevance as a histopathological feature for lichenoid mucositis (LM) through differential proteomic characterization.
Study Design: SWATH-MS proteomic profiling was conducted on FFPE samples from 6 OEDwithLF, 5 OED cases without associated lymphocytic infiltration, and 5 LM cases. Protein expression levels were quantified and compared.

The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway is crucial for skin barrier integrity and immune response. This study explores the impact of EGFR inhibitors, osimertinib and afatinib, on keratinocyte function, focusing on keratin (KRT1, KRT17) and tight junction protein (CLDN1, CLDN2, CLDN4) expression in HaCaT cells. Osimertinib significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of keratins and inflammatory markers, IL-6 and TNF-α, via activation of the EGFR-STAT3 signaling pathway.

Introduction: The occurrence of pachyonychia congenita (PC) and acne inversa (AI) may be related to gene mutations. The aim of this study is to identify the genetic cause in a patient with PC and AI, and to explore the possible molecular mechanism of their co-occurrence.
Methods: The clinical data of the proband were collected, and the genomic DNA of the proband and unaffected parents were extracted.
