Dystrophic epidermolysis with dilation of esophageal stricture: A case report
Exp Ther Med. 2023 Dec 28;27(2):79. doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.12367. eCollection 2024 Feb.ABSTRACTDystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a rare disease and the associated esophageal stricture is frequently complicated by the lack of clinical experience. The present study reported a very rare case of DEB in a 37-year-old male, who was admitted to Shenzhen Hospital (Shenzhen, China) due to an esophageal stricture. The patient received esophageal dilation under digital subtraction angiography. In this patient, dilation therapy was effective and safe. The patient underwent skin biopsies, and histological examination of the rese...

Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 471: Epidermolysis-Bullosa-Associated Squamous Cell Carcinomas Support an Immunosuppressive Tumor Microenvironment: Prospects for Immunotherapy
on Bubnoff Cristina Has Cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs) are a major complication of some subtypes of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), with high morbidity and mortality rates and unmet therapeutic needs. The high rate of endogenous mutations and the fibrotic stroma are considered to contribute to the pathogenesis. Patients with dystrophic EB (DEB) and Kindler EB (KEB) have the highest propensity for developing SCCs. Another patient group that develops high-risk SCCs is immunosuppressed (IS) patients, especially after organ transplantation. Herein, we interrogate whether immune checkpoint proteins and immunosuppre...

Gamma-secretase inhibitors down-regulate the pro-fibrotic Notch signaling pathway in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare skin fragility disorder caused by mutations in COL7A1. RDEB is hallmarked by trauma-induced unremitting blistering, chronic wounds with inflammation and progressive fibrosis, leading to severe disease complications. There is currently no cure for RDEB-associated fibrosis. Our previous studies and increasing evidence highlighted the pro-fibrotic role of Notch pathway in different skin disorders, including RDEB. Here, we further investigated the role of Notch signaling in RDEB pathogenesis and explored the effects of its inhibition by γ-secretase inhibitors DAPT an...

Biology of Pellino1: a potential therapeutic target for inflammation in diseases and cancers
Front Immunol. 2023 Dec 18;14:1292022. doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2023.1292022. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTPellino1 (Peli1) is a highly conserved E3 Ub ligase that exerts its biological functions by mediating target protein ubiquitination. Extensive evidence has demonstrated the crucial role of Peli1 in regulating inflammation by modulating various receptor signaling pathways, including interleukin-1 receptors, Toll-like receptors, nuclear factor-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT pathways. Peli1 has been implicated in the development of several diseases by influencing inflammation, apoptosis, n...

GSE223675 Clinical-grade human skin-derived ABCB5+ mesenchymal stromal cells exert modulatory functions on mRNA expression in a cisplatin-induced kidney injury murine model
Contributors : Daniele Christina ; Gretz NobertSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Rattus norvegicusAcute kidney injury (AKI) is characterized by a rapid reduction in renal function and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The broadly used anti-cancer chemotherapeutic agent cisplatin often induces AKI as an adverse drug side effect. Therapies targeted at the reversal of AKI and its potential progression to chronic kidney disease or end-stage renal disease are currently insufficiently effective. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) possess diverse immunomodulatory properties that confer upon...
