Expression data from normal human epidermal keratinocytes undergoing density-induced differentiation and treated with EGF
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Combining genome-wide microarray and functional analyses, we found that EGFR activation abrogates barrier function, increasing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and transepithelial permeability of water-soluble ions and higher molecular weight dextrans, in part by disrupting the expression of tight junction proteins. EGF decreases certain lipid matrix free fatty acids and ceramides by its actions to repress the expression of specific biosynthetic enzymes. Activation of EGFR inhibits cornified envelope formation by regulating the expression of 59 percent of the known contributing genes. EGF-responsiveness enriches more than 100 genes known to be associated with skin diseases. These data are used to obtain 2,676 density-dependent genes that are differentially expressed in response to EGF treatment.
