Advances In Control Of Skin Regeneration Could Help Patients With Squamous Cell Carcinoma And Burn Victims
|
|
How do organs "know" when to stop growing? The answer could be useful in regenerative medicine, and also in cancer - where these "stop growing" signals either aren't issued or aren't heeded. Researchers in the Stem Cell Program at Children's Hospital Boston have now found a regulator of gene activity...

P53 is a key regulatory molecule in the cellular response to ultraviolet radiation, and TP53 mutation is the most common alteration in non-melanoma skin cancer. The MDM2 oncogene negatively regulates p53 protein levels, and both genes have functional polymorphisms that may modify skin cancer risk. Furthermore, prior research suggests that...

Progression of Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis After Tanning Bed Exposure [Observation]
|
|
Conclusion In addition to inducing photodamage and skin cancer, tanning bed radiation exposure can trigger a toxic epidermal necrolysis–like reaction, possibly via the exaggerated production of keratinocyte cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor. (Source: Archives of Dermatology)

Development and characterization of eucalyptol microemulsions for topic delivery of curcumin.

In conclusion, microemulsions were successfully developed for transdermal curcumin delivery after screening various components and adjusting the oil/water ratios. The curcumin permeation rate of the microemulsion developed was 15.7-fold higher than that of the control (eucalyptol only). These results indicate that an eucalyptol microemulsion system is a promising tool for...

Cyclosporin A, but not everolimus, inhibits DNA repair mediated by calcineurin: implications for tumorigenesis under immunosuppression

Abstract:  Unlike other immunosuppressive drugs including everolimus, cyclosporin A causes a dramatic increase of UVâ€induced skin cancer, a feature that is reminiscent of xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), where defective nucleotide excision repair (NER) of UVâ€induced DNA damage results in cutaneous carcinogenesis. The molecular basis of the clinically important differential activities of...

The E2 protein of human papillomavirus type 8 increases the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 in human keratinocytes and organotypic skin cultures
|
|
In this report, we demonstrated by EMSA experiments that the MMP9 promoter contains a binding site for the transcriptional regulator E2 of HPV8. Transient reporter gene assays showed that HPV8-E2 activated the MMP9 promoter in a dose-dependent manner in human epidermal keratinocytes. An E2 transactivation-defective mutant (I73L) as well as...
