In extracts of scales of different forms of ichthyosis, disc-electrophoretic separation of water soluble proteins was performed. Number and position of the protein bands correspond with number and position of the bands of extracts of normal keratin and psoriatic scales. However, in comparison to normal keratin, all examined forms of ichthyosis showed in zone II the enriched bands Nos. 6 and 7. This permits a distinct differentiation from psoriasis in which in zone II the bands Nos. 9 and 10 are enriched. In congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma and in ichthyosis combined with atopic dermatitis, in zone III the bands, containing gamma globulins, are enriched as an expression of the concomittant exudative process. The protein content of scale extracts of ichthyosis is 2 to 5 times lower than the one of psoriasis.

Ichthyoses are a heterogeneous group of diseases sharing symptoms and a common etiopathogenic mechanism. Clinically, these diseases are characterized by the presence of erythema and variable degrees of skin thickening and desquamation. Although the affected area, severity, and molecular substrate are very variable, they are all signs of a disruption of the barrier formed during epidermal differentiation.

Background: Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a group of genetic skin disorders characterized by abnormal keratinization, leading to significant health issues and reduced quality of life. ARCI encompasses harlequin ichthyosis (HI), congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE), and lamellar ichthyosis (LI). While all ARCI genes are linked to LI and CIE, HI is specifically associated with severe mutations in the gene.

Store-operated Ca entry (SOCE) controls Ca homeostasis and mediates multiple Ca-dependent signaling pathways and cellular processes. It relies on the concerted activity of the reticular Ca sensor STIM1 and the plasma membrane Ca channel ORAI1. STIM1 and ORAI1 gain-of-function (GoF) mutations induce SOCE overactivity and excessive Ca influx, leading to tubular aggregate myopathy (TAM) and Stormorken syndrome (STRMK), two overlapping disorders characterized by muscle weakness and a variable occurrence of multi-systemic anomalies affecting spleen, skin, and platelets.

Background: Focal acantholytic dyskeratosis (FAD) and epidermolytic hyperkeratosis (EHK) are common incidental epidermal histologic findings within dysplastic nevi biopsies. We evaluate whether areas of FAD and EHK within dysplastic nevi biopsies stain with immunostains used to characterize melanocytic neoplasms.

Methods: In this case series, a natural language search of histopathology reports from our institution in the past year (2020-2021) identified dysplastic nevus biopsies with concurrent FAD and/or EHK.

Article Synopsis
  • Ferroptosis is a unique type of regulated cell death that differs from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy, and is gaining attention for its involvement in skin diseases.
  • The review explores how ferroptosis, characterized by iron buildup and lipid damage, affects several skin conditions like psoriasis, dermatitis, and melanoma, while also comparing it to other cell death processes.
  • It discusses the role of ferroptosis in five skin diseases and examines potential therapies targeting ferroptosis to improve skin disease management and treatment.
