Project description:This study investigated the underlying inflammatory pathways and cell types in hidradenitis suppurativa using transcriptomic approaches with RNA sequencing of lesional and non-lesional skin biopsies from hidradenitis suppurativa patients.
Project description:To increase disease understanding and investigate cell types and pathways active in Hidradenitis suppurativa, skin was collected from patients who had surgical removal of affected skin regions. Blocks of tissue were taken from regions defined as lesional and non-lesional. For comparison blocks of skin were also collected from healty people undergoing plastic surgery
Project description:Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with significant morbidity. The pathogenesis remains incompletely understood although immune dysregulation plays an important role. It is challenging to treat and approximately 50% of patients respond clinically to adalimumab, the only licensed treatment.
Project description:Hidradenitis Suppurativa molecular taxonomy and key signaling pathways were studied by whole transcriptome profiling. Dysregulated genes were detected by comparing lesional and non lesional skin obtained from female HS patients and matched healthy controls using the Agilent array platform
Project description:The aim of this study was to obtain a better understanding of the molecular background of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Global transcriptome analysis of lesional and perilesional skin identifies numerous differentially expressed genes that display unique expression pattern in HS. Genes, whose expression is dysregulated in the skin of patients suffering from HS are novel biomarker candidates and potential therapeutic targets for HS.
Project description:To acquire a better understanding of the molecular pathogenesis of hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), we performed mRNA microarray studies to compare whole blood gene expression of HS patients to that of healthy normal subjects. No significant difference was observed in whole blood mRNA expression between HS patients and healthy normal control. Whole blood samples were collected from patients with hidradenitis (n=16) at baseline and healthy normal subjects (n=10) for RNA extraction and microarray analysis.
Project description:Molecular taxonomy and key signaling pathways of apocrine glands of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa were studied by whole transcriptome profiling. Dysregulated genes were detected by comparing lesional and non lesional skin obtained from male and female HS patients using the Agilent array platform.
