Either transepidermal water loss rates or stratum corneum hydration levels can predict quality of life in children with atopic dermatitis

open access: yesPediatric Investigation, 2021
Importance Patients with atopic dermatitis (AD) display compromised epidermal barrier and suffer from poor quality of life. We hypothesized that quality of life could reflect in the changes in the epidermal barrier function.

All-trans retinoic acid alters the expression of the tight junction proteins Claudin-1 and -4 and epidermal barrier function-associated genes in the epidermis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2019
All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) regulates skin cell proliferation and differentiation. ATRA is widely used in the treatment of skin diseases, but results in irritation, dryness and peeling, possibly due to an impaired skin barrier, although the exact ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Amino Carbonylation of Epidermal Basement Membrane Inhibits Epidermal Cell Function and Is Suppressed by Methylparaben

open access: yesCosmetics, 2017
This study investigated the effect of amino carbonylation (Maillard reaction) on the function of the epidermal basement membrane (BM) by analyzing epidermal cell proliferation and keratinization and stratum corneum barrier function using a three ...

Fos co-operation with PTEN loss elicits keratoacanthoma not carcinoma due to p53/p21WAF-induced differentiation triggered by GSK3b inactivation and reduced AKT activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
To investigate gene synergism in multistage skin carcinogenesis, the RU486-inducible cre/lox system was employed to ablate PTEN function [K14.cre/D5PTENflx] in mouse epidermis expressing activated v-fos [HK1.fos].

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

“Input/output cytokines” in epidermal keratinocytes and the involvement in inflammatory skin diseases

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
Considering the role of epidermal keratinocytes, they occupy more than 90% of the epidermis, form a physical barrier, and also function as innate immune barrier.

A review of the immunomodulating components of maternal breast milk and protection against necrotizing enterocolitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Breast milk contains immunomodulating components that are beneficial to newborns during maturation of their immune system. Human breast milk composition is influenced by an infant\u27s gestational and chronological age, lactation stage, and the mother ...

Epidermal mTORC2 controls lipid synthesis and filaggrin processing in epidermal barrier formation.

open access: yesJournal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2019
BACKGROUND Perturbation of epidermal barrier formation will profoundly compromise overall skin function, leading to a dry and scaly, ichthyosis-like skin phenotype, which is the hallmark of a broad range of skin diseases, including ichthyosis, atopic ...

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.
