Acne flare-up in treatment process: investigating the difference of gene expression in peripheral blood

ABSTRACT: Objectives: To identify gene expression changes in acne flare-up patients, thereby exploring the mechanisms of acne flare-up after treatment. Methods: 11 acne patients and 3 healthy people were divided into 4 groups (group1: 4 with flare-up, group2: 4 with improvement, group3: 3 without obvious changes, group4: healthy control). Peripheral blood of patients before and after isotretinoin or minocycline were collected. RNA-seq were used to detect the gene expression. We applied data in self-contrast and intergroup comparisons. Results: In the self-contrast of group1, 22 upregulated genes were involved in Toll-like receptor signaling pathway and inflammatory response. Comparing group1 and group3 before treatment, 1778 upregulated genes enriched in Th17 cell differentiation, while 57 downregulated genes enriched in defensive response to organism. Conclusions: The gene expression profiles of acne flare-up patients changed. Inflammatory, immune responses played a prominent role in acne flare-up process and relatively weak defensive response to microbes, comedogenesis might be risk factors.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series:; GSE10432: 13-cis retinoic acid treatment of human sebocytes (SEB-1); GSE10433: Human Skin: Before and 1 week after Isotretinoin Treatment; The pathogenesis of acne has been linked to multiple factors such as increased sebum production, inflammation, follicular hyperkeratinization, and the action of Propionibacterium acnes within the follicle. 13-cis Retinoic Acid (13-cis RA, isotretinoin) is the most potent agent in acne treatment. Surprisingly, its mechanism of action in acne is still unknown. Gene expression profiling of cultured human immortalized sebocytes (SEB-1) treated with 13-cis RA was performed to gain insights into its sebocyte-specific mechanism of action. SEB-1 sebocytes were cultured with 0.1 uM 13-cis RA for 72 hours or vehicle control. Gene array expression profiling was conducted using Affymetrix HG-U95Av2 arrays in order to examine changes in gene expression as a result of treatment. A total of 85 genes (78 different genes) were significantly influenced by 13-cis RA: 58 were upregulated and 27 were down-regulated. There were changes in several genes involved in apoptosis and innate immunity. These studies are the first describing the sebocyte- specific response in gene expression associated with isotretinoin therapy and are valuable in identifying potential therapeutic targets in acne. The pathogenesis of acne has been linked to multiple factors such as increased sebum production, inflammation, follicular hyperkeratinization, and the action of Propionibacterium acnes within the follicle. 13-cis Retinoic Acid (13-cis RA, isotretinoin) is the most potent agent in acne treatment. Surprisingly, its mechanism of action in acne is still unknown. Gene expression profiling of skin from 6 patients treated with isotretinoin was performed to gain insights into its mechanism of action. Skin biopsies were obtained from the patients at baseline and at one-week isotretinoin treatment. Gene array expression profiling was conducted using Affymetrix HG-U133A 2.0 arrays in order to examine changes in gene expression as a result of treatment. After treatment, 43 genes were significantly changed: 38 up-regulated and 5 down-regulated. A significant proportion of these genes are involved in pathways that regulate differentiation, tumor suppression, serine proteases, serine protease inhibitors and solute transfer. These studies are the first describing the initial changes in gene expression associated with isotretinoin therapy and are valuable in identifying potential therapeutic targets in acne.
