Transcription profiling of human nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome primary fibroblasts with non-sense or miss-sense mutations in the tumor supressor gene PTCH1
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene PTCH1 are responsible for Gorlin syndrome, or nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS). NBCCS causes predisposition to basal cell carcinoma (BCC), the commonest cancer in adult human. In the general population BCC develop almost exclusively in sun-exposed area of the skin (Buettner PG, Raasch BA (1998) Int J Cancer 78: 587-593). In contrast, and, intriguingly, NBCCS BCCs are observed in both sun-protected and sun-exposed areas. Interestingly, our previous studies have shown that both fibroblasts and keratinocytes from NBCCS patients exhibit normal nucleotide excision repair of UVB-induced DNA lesions and survival capacities following a single UVB irradiation (Brellier F, Valin A, et al. (2008) Br J Dermatol.). These data suggest that sun UV are far from being the only etiologic factor of BCC in NBCCS patients. In this study we aimed at documenting the possible role of NBCCS fibroblasts in BCC development in NBCCS patients. Thus, the genome expression of NBCCS primary fibroblasts cultured in a dermal equivalent was compared to the one of control fibroblasts under the same circumstances.
