Ingenol mebutate induces profound inflammatory and wound healing responses in uninvolved and actinic keratosis skin
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We studied the transcriptomic profile of actinic keratosis (AK) skin compared to matched samples from uninvolved skin (US) before and after treatment with ingenol mebutate gel. We found that AK has a distinct mRNA profile that separates it from uninvolved skin. In particular, numerous genes associated with epidermal development and keratinocyte differentiation, such as LCE3D, SPRR1A, PI3 and several genes in the keratin family were highly expressed in AK0 skin, but not in US0, in line with the hyperkeratosis characteristic for AK. Topical application of ingenol mebutate had a profound effect on the gene expression profile, and interestingly, many more genes were affected in US than in AK. Enrichment analysis revealed that the main responses to ingenol mebutate treatment of both US and AK were inflammatory response, response to wounding, and wound healing.
