Project description:Marjolin's ulcer is a a rare and aggressive cutaneous malignancy that can arise on previously injured skin, established scars, and chronic non-healing wounds. It is most often found in burn scars, but it can also occur in other types of wounds, including venous stasis ulcers, pressure sores, and vaccination sites. The most common histological type of Marjolin’s ulcers is squamous cell carcinoma, however basal cell carcinomas, malignant melanomas, and sarcomas have also been reported. All parts of the body could potentially be affected yet the lower extremities are the anatomic sites most commonly involved. While SCCs commonly have a metastasis rate of 0.5 to 3.0 percent, those arising from burn scars metastasize at a rate in excess of 30 percent. The 5-year survival after a diagnosis of Marjolin’s ulcer was found to be 50 percent. The transformation to a malignancy can occur either chronically, over a period of more than 35 years, or occasionally within a year of the original injury. The exact mechanism of this transformation is not fully understood, but it is thought to be related to chronic keratinocyte dysfunction during the healing process of severe burn wounds. Surgical excision is the main treatment for Marjolin's ulcer and provides the best chance of survival. In a previous study, we investigated the bulk transcriptional changes that lead to Marjolin's ulcer by comparing global gene expression changes between squamous cells present in a squamous cell carcinoma versus those present within Marjolin's ulcer (MU) (Sinha et. al. JBCR 2017). This imparted novel insights into mechanisms underlying divergent clinical features of these cutaneous cancers. The goal of our current study is to characterize a new case of Marjolin's ulcer in a patient under our care by analyzing the cell types, their frequencies, and their individual transcriptional responses within a burn scar versus within Marjolin's ulcer. To achieve this, we conducted single-cell RNA sequencing on two excised tissues: 1. a sample from the center of the tumor (tumor core), and 2. another sample from the margin of tumor-free scar tissue.

Project description:Full thickness and deep partial thickness burn injuries heal by scarring. There are several mechanisms thought to be essential for the development of burn scars, but a challenge to studying the skin response to burn injury is that there are few animal models of burn scarring that are either clinically similar to human burn scars or are practical for most investigators to use. The purpose of this study was to examine the changes in RNA expression in human skin to burn injury. This was done by comparing pre-injury tissue from otherwise healthy adults undergoing aesthetic scarification created by branding with a hot metal object to serial samples of untreated wounds in the same subjects.

Project description:The goal of this study was to use RNA sequencing to identify novel genes involved in wound healing and scar formation in human burn wounds and scars. RNA was isolated from 108 human samples comprising of uninjured skin (n=26), acute burn wounds (n=54), and hypertrophic scars (HTS) (n=30). Genes with at least 1.5-fold change and a p-value less than 0.05 with a false discovery rate of 0.05 were considered differentially expressed. Samples were sequenced using Illumina Hi-Seq sequencers, and pathway/Gene Ontology (GO) Enrichment analysis was conducted using iPathwayGuide. Comparing wounds to uninjured skin, we found 9,311 differentially expressed genes, accounting for 1,017 GO terms. Comparing HTS to uninjured skin, we found 7,299 differentially expressed genes, accounting for 1,022 GO terms. By analyzing the whole transcriptome, we characterized dominant genes expressed temporally in wounds and scars. This study reveals the complexity of these processes and helps to bring novel genes to light.

Project description:Animal experiments were performed with male Sprague-Dawley rats (Charles River Laboratories, Boston, MA) weighing 150 ? 200 grams. All experimental protocols used in this study were approved by the Subcommittee on Research Animal Care, Massachusetts General Hospital. Rats were individually housed in a temperature-controlled (25oC) and light-controlled room (12h light-dark cycle) and allowed to adjust to their new surroundings for at least 5 days prior to the experiment. Water and rat chow were provided ad libitum to the animals. On the day of the treatment, the animals were randomly divided into two groups, burned and sham-burned. The burn injury consisted of a full-skin-thickness scald burn of the dorsum, calculated to be ~ 20% of the rat?s total body surface area (TBSA), induced by immersing the designated area in boiling water for 10 s (45). Rats were resuscitated with an intra-peritoneal injection of sterile saline solution (1.5 mL/Kg body weight/% TBSA) immediately after burn. The mortality rate of this treatment was negligible. At each time point (1, 2, 4, and 7d), three animals belonging to each group were sacrificed, the liver and serum collected, and stored at ?80oC after being inflicted with 20% TBSA burn injury. Sham-burn rats (n=3) considered as the control were treated identically except that they were immersed into a 37oC water bath and immediately sacrificed to collect the livers.

Project description:Thermal injury incites inflammatory responses that often transcend the local environment and lead to structural deficiencies in skin that give way to scar formation. We hypothesized that extensive perturbations within burned skin following thermal insult and during subsequent events of wound repair induce vast alterations in gene expression that likely serve as a wound and systemic healing deterrent. A high-throughput microarray experiment was designed to analyze genetic expression patterns and identify potential genes to target for therapeutic augmentation or silencing. The study compares gene expression from burn wound margins at various times following thermal injury to expression observed in normal skin. Utilizing this design, we report that the totality of gene expression alterations is indeed enormous. Further, we observed that the differential expression of many inflammatory and immune response genes appear to be continually up-regulated in burn wound margins seven days or more after initial thermal insult. As it is well established that the inflammatory process must abate for wound healing to proceed, the finding of ongoing local inflammation is cause for further investigation. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the gene expression alterations induced by thermal injury of human skin. As such, it provides a wealth of data to mine with the ultimate goal of better understanding the local pathophysiologic changes at the site of thermal injury that not only affect wound healing capacity, but may also contribute to systemic derangements within the burn patient. Keywords: time course, disease state analysis The study compares gene expression from burn wound margins at various times following thermal injury to expression observed in normal skin. All skin specimens were obtained in the operating room within minutes of being removed from the patient. Burn specimens were taken from wound margins. Harvested tissue at the burn wound margin maximized the capture of viable cells from the multiple lineages important to the healing process and minimized the inclusion of non-viable cells destroyed by full-thickness injury. After isolation, RNA samples were pooled equally by mass as to contain RNA from 5 tissue specimens for each array replicate.

Project description:Buruli ulcer (BU) is a tropical infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. BU causes profound skin ulcerations and eventually bone infections. Life-long functional sequelae are observed in more than 20% of patients, most of whom are children. Several observations, in particular the large variability in the clinical severity of the disease after infection, suggested the role of human genetic factors in the development of BU. Here, we report two children with severe BU, born of consanguineous parents. The deep genetic exploration of this family led to the identification of a small deletion on chromosome 8 in both patients. The corresponding article is in press in PloS Neglected Tropical Diseases

Project description:Burn injury remains a major clinical challenge to both survival and to quality of life. Its progressive, aberrant inflammation underlies the lethal dysfunction of various organs and the pain it induces is excruciating and notoriously difficult to manage. While it is known that burn injury’s complex local and disseminating pathology is orchestrated from the burned tissue, few studies have sought to characterise the local signalling environment. An enhanced understanding of the local and acutely temporally-dynamic processes defining burn injury and its progression is required for the development of novel therapeutic interventions. Microdialysis was used as an interstitial sampling technique, conducted over three hours post-burn. Samples were analysed by metabolomics and a multiplex cytokine immunoassay. Next-Generation sequencing libraries of the burn and control microdialysis sites were prepared to measure transcriptional changes potentially underlying the interstitial profile characterising burn injury.
