Journal ArticleDOI

A role for pericytes as microenvironmental regulators of human skin tissue regeneration

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, in organotypic cocultures, dermal pericytes substantially enhanced the intrinsically low tissue-regenerative capacity of human epidermal cells that have committed to differentiate and that this enhancement was independent of angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cornifin, a cross-linked envelope precursor in keratinocytes that is down-regulated by retinoids.

TL;DR: Observations suggest that the protein encoded by SQ37 participates in the assembly of the cross-linked envelope in squamous differentiating cells, and is mediated by transglutaminase type I.
Journal Article

Histone deacetylase inhibitors as potential anti-skin cancer agents.

TL;DR: TSA may have potential as a topical treatment for epidermal malignancies because it induced a reversible growth arrest and transient increases in the acetylation of histone H4 in keratinocytes and squamous carcinoma cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Control of growth regulatory and differentiation-specific genes in human epidermal keratinocytes by interferon gamma. Antagonism by retinoic acid and transforming growth factor beta 1.

TL;DR: Several squamous cell carcinoma cell lines do not show a detectable decrease in cdc2 or increase in transglutaminase type I mRNA levels after IFN-gamma treatment and appear to be altered in their control of squamous differentiation.
