Molecular and Histological Characterization of Age Spots

ABSTRACT: In this study, we used immunohistochemical analysis and microarray analysis to investigate the mechanism underlying the development of age spots, focusing on the expression of specific markers associated with the functions and proliferation of melanocytes and keratinocytes 10 subjects of phototypes I or II (all female, age = 53-70) with various sizes and colors of age spots on their forearms were recruited for the study. Four mm whole skin punch biopsies were taken from age spots on the forearm of each subject and from a perilesional control area in the vicinity of each age spot.

Molecular Analysis and Characteristics of Ethnic Skin

Project description:In this study, we used microarray analysis to investigate molecular differences underlying the determination of pigmentation in various skin types, and we used immunohistochemistry to validate the expression patterns of several interesting targets that were identified. Whole skin gene expression profile were investigated in three ethnic groups:1) Caucasian 2)Asian 3)African. In each group, 4 mm whole skin punch biopsies were taken from forearm of 10 subjects, and gene expression level were tested by agilent whole human genome microarray. Samples with mRNA degraded: African_skin_03, Asian_skin_02, Asian_skin_06, and Caucasian_skin_7.

UV Photoprotection and Long-lasting Pigmentation from UVA and/or UVB

Project description:To test whether there is a photoprotective benefit after different types of suberythemal repetitive UV, a 1.5 MED challenge dose was applied 1 week after the initial 2 weeks of repetitive irradiation. To determine what different mechanisms and/or factors might be involved in physiological pigmentary responses of the skin to different types of UV, we used whole human genome microarrays and immunohistochemical analyses to characterize human skin in situ to examine how melanocyte-specific proteins and paracrine melanogenic factors are regulated by repetitive exposure to suberythemal doses of different types of UV (UVA and/or UVB). Seven volunteers with skin type II-III were irradiated with UVA, UVB or UVA+UVB radiation for 2 weeks (5 times per week, 10 times total) after preliminary determination of their MEDs. A UVA+UVB challenge dose of 1.5X the MED was applied 1 week later. Biopsies were taken before the challenge dose, immediately after the challenge dose, 4 days after the challenge, and 15 weeks after the challenge.

The neuronal transcription factor NeuroD and its impact on the regulation of dendricity and pigmentation of melanocytes in postinflammatory hyperpigmentation of human skin

Project description:In order to test the gene expression profile in postinflammatory hyperpigmentation, micoarray studies were performed. Totally 14 subjects ( 7 at each phase) were treated by suction blister, and samples from treated area and corresponding control area ( from the same subjects) were taken at 1 week(t1), 2 weeks(t2), 4 weeks(t3), 6 weeks(t4), and 16 weeks(t5) after treatment. Paired samples from subject 6382 at 6th week were missing for microarray hybridization. Therefore, there are 138 array chips available for statistical analysis.

Molecular and histological characterization of age spots.

Project description:Age spots, also called solar lentigines and lentigo senilis, are light brown to black pigmented lesions of various sizes that typically develop in chronically sun-exposed skin. It is well known that age spots are strongly related to chronic sun exposure and are associated with photodamage and an increased risk for skin cancer; however, the mechanisms underlying their development remain poorly understood. We used immunohistochemical analysis and microarray analysis to investigate the processes involved in their formation, focusing on specific markers associated with the functions and proliferation of melanocytes and keratinocytes. A total of 193 genes were differentially expressed in age spots, but melanocyte pigment genes were not among them. The increased expression of keratins 5 and 10, markers of basal and suprabasal keratinocytes, respectively, in age spots suggests that the increased proliferation of basal keratinocytes combined with the decreased turnover of suprabasal keratinocytes leads to the exaggerated formation of rete ridges in lesional epidermis which in turn disrupts the normal processing of melanin upwards from the basal layer. Based on our results, we propose a model for the development of age spots that explains the accumulation of melanin and the development of extensive rete ridges in those hyperpigmented lesions.

Aldh1a2+ fibroblastic reticular cells regulate lymphocyte recruitment in omental milky spots

Project description:Milky spots, lymphoid clusters present in visceral adipose tissue omentum, play central roles in the regulation of abdominal immunity. Milky spots exhibit hybrid nature between secondary lymph organs and ectopic lymphoid tissues, yet the mechanism of their development and maturation is poorly understood. Here, we identified a subset of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) that are uniquely present in omental milky spots. These FRCs were characterized by the expression of retinoic acid converting enzyme, Aldh1a2, and endothelial cell marker, Tie2, in addition to canonical FRC-associated genes. Diphtheria toxin-mediated ablation of Aldh1a2+ FRCs resulted in the alteration in milky spot structure with a significant reduction in size and cellularity. Mechanistically, Aldh1a2+ FRCs regulated the display of chemokine CXCL12 on high endothelial venules (HEVs), which recruit blood-borne lymphocytes from circulation. We further found that Aldh1a2+ FRCs are required for the maintenance of peritoneal lymphocyte composition. These results illustrate the homeostatic roles of FRCs in the formation of non-classical lymphoid tissues.
