Pigmentation01:19

Pigmentation

2.7K
The color of the skin is influenced by a number of pigments, including melanin, carotene, and hemoglobin. Recall that melanin is produced by cells called melanocytes, which are found scattered throughout the stratum basale of the epidermis. The melanin is transferred to the keratinocytes via melanosomes.
Melanin occurs in two primary forms: eumelanin that provides black and brown pigment and pheomelanin that provides red color. Dark-skinned individuals produce more melanin than those with pale...

Skin Cancer

4.6K
Skin cancer is a type of cancer that occurs when there is an abnormal growth of skin cells, usually triggered by damage to the DNA within the skin cells. It is primarily caused by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or artificial sources like tanning beds. Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide, and its incidence continues to rise.
Basal Cell Carcinoma (BCC): BCC is the most common type of skin cancer, accounting for about 80% of cases. It typically develops in...

Changes in Skin Color: Clinical Perspectives

2.2K
The first thing a clinician sees is the skin, so the examination of the skin should be part of any thorough physical examination. Most skin disorders are relatively benign, but a few, including melanomas, can be fatal if untreated. A couple of the more noticeable disorders, albinism and vitiligo, affect the appearance of the skin and its accessory organs.
Albinism
Albinism is a genetic disorder that affects (completely or partially) the coloring of skin, hair, and eyes. The defect is primarily...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology and Molecular Biology
  • Genomics and Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Solar lentigines are common skin conditions resulting from UV exposure, posing challenges in management due to complex underlying mechanisms.
  • Understanding the molecular drivers of solar lentigo progression is essential for developing effective preventative and therapeutic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a novel computational method, Dynamic Network Driver (DND), for identifying key molecular regulators in disease progression.
  • To uncover novel upstream regulators driving the progression of solar lentigines using multi-omics data.

Main Methods:

  • Integration of the Dynamic Network Biomarker (DNB) approach with network control theory to develop the DND method.
  • Application of DND to multi-omics data from individuals with solar lentigines.
  • In vitro validation of identified key factors in melanocytes and 3D skin models.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key drivers associated with solar lentigo progression, particularly those involved in differentiation and the dermal-epidermal junction.
  • Highlighting ARNT2 and TBX2 as significant master regulatory factors driving solar lentigines.
  • Successful in vitro validation of ARNT2 and TBX2 in relevant skin models.

Conclusions:

  • The DND approach is a potent tool for elucidating complex molecular mechanisms underlying solar lentigines.
  • Identified novel drivers and master factors (ARNT2, TBX2) offer potential targets for therapeutic strategies and diagnostic markers for solar lentigo mitigation.
