Keratinocytes regulate the function of melanocytes

Dermatologica Sinica, 2014
Mammalian keratinocytes compose the bulk of the epithelium, undergo keratinization, and form the dead superficial layer of the skin. These superficial keratinized cells are continuously replaced by cells derived from mitotic cells in the lowest layer of ...

Melanocyte antigen triggers autoimmunity in human psoriasis

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2015
Arakawa et al. discovered that the autoimmune response in psoriasis is directed against melanocytes. They show that the main psoriasis risk allele HLA-C*06:02 mediates melanocyte-specific autoimmunity and identify ADAMTSL5 as a melanocyte autoantigen ...

DHODH modulates transcriptional elongation in the neural crest and melanoma [PDF]

, 2011
Melanoma is a tumour of transformed melanocytes, which are originally derived from the embryonic neural crest. It is unknown to what extent the programs that regulate neural crest development interact with mutations in the BRAF oncogene, which is the ...

Melanocytes and Skin Immunity [PDF]

Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings, 2015
Melanocytes in skin are melanin-producing cells that are derived from the neural crest. They migrate during embryological development and localize in the epidermis and hair follicles where they pigment skin and hair (Nishimura, 2011). Melanocytes and their production of melanin pigment (a process termed melanogenesis) have important roles in cutaneous ...

Temporally Regulated Neural Crest Transcription Factors Distinguish Neuroectodermal Tumors of Varying Malignancy and Differentiation

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2005
Neuroectodermal tumor cells, like neural crest (NC) cells, are pluripotent, proliferative, and migratory. We tested the hypothesis that genetic programs essential to NC development are activated in neuroectodermal tumors.

TFAP2 paralogs regulate melanocyte differentiation in parallel with MITF

PLoS Genetics, 2017
Mutations in the gene encoding transcription factor TFAP2A result in pigmentation anomalies in model organisms and premature hair graying in humans. However, the pleiotropic functions of TFAP2A and its redundantly-acting paralogs have made the precise ...

Development of the stria vascularis and potassium regulation in the human fetal cochlea : insights into hereditary sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]

, 2015
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common congenital disorders in humans, afflicting one in every thousand newborns. The majority is of heritable origin and can be divided in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms. Knowledge of the expression
