Constitutive and Inducible Expression of SKALP/Elafin Provides Anti-Elastase Defense in Human Epithelia

TL;DR: It is shown that SKALP is constitutively expressed in several epithelia that are continuously subjected to inflammatory stimuli, such as the oral cavity and the vagina where it co-localizes with type 1 TGase, which strongly suggest that the constitutive expression ofSKALP in squamous epithelian, and the inducible expression in epidermis participate in the control of epithelial integrity, by inhibiting PMN derived proteinases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pretreatment to enhance protoporphyrin IX accumulation in photodynamic therapy

TL;DR: Simple pretreatments or additions to the regular practice of PDT, aimed to optimize intralesional PpIX content, improve the clinical outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Memory effector (CD45RO+) and cytotoxic (CD8+) T cells appear early in the margin zone of spreading psoriatic lesions in contrast to cells expressing natural killer receptors, which appear late.

TL;DR: This data indicates that T‐lymphocyte subsets in particular activated effector memory T cells and natural killer T cells have been suggested to play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.
Journal Article

SKALP/elafin is an inducible proteinase inhibitor in human epidermal keratinocytes

TL;DR: The induction and processing of SKALP in vivo and in vitro is reported and it is found that in a submerged culture system,SKALP could be induced by fetal calf serum and in cultured cells was found to be dependent on the system used.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular diagnostics of psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and irritant contact dermatitis

TL;DR: Microarray studies on the epidermal transcriptome in psoriasis and atopic dermatitis have revealed genes with disease‐specific expression in keratinocytes of lesional epidermis that could provide a tool for molecular diagnostics of inflammatory skin conditions in general.
