Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) profiling of human skin keratinocytes revealed novel genes and unexpected expression patterns. This study offers insights into skin function and genetic skin disorder candidates.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genomics

Background:

  • Serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) is a powerful tool for global gene expression profiling.
  • Understanding the human epidermis transcriptome is crucial for identifying genes involved in skin function and disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a partial transcriptome of human epidermis using SAGE.
  • To identify keratinocyte-specific genes, including previously unknown ones.
  • To compare gene expression in vivo versus in vitro keratinocytes.

Main Methods:

  • SAGE analysis was performed on purified keratinocytes from human skin biopsies.
  • Approximately 3 x 10^6 epidermal cells were analyzed.
  • Data was compared against existing human SAGE tag databases.

Main Results:

  • Identified 7,645 unique SAGE tags from 15,131 collected tags.
  • Discovered numerous genes not previously known to be expressed in human epidermis.
  • Found lower expression of differentiation genes and higher expression of housekeeping genes in vivo compared to cultured keratinocytes.

Conclusions:

  • This study provides a foundational human epidermis transcriptome.
  • Identified potential candidate genes for skin function and genetic skin disorders.
  • Highlighted significant differences in gene expression between in vivo and cultured keratinocytes.
