Abstract
An abundance of endocrine receptors is expressed on the skin and becomes the target of many hormones. This was associated with various skin diseases that might occur in some endocrine diseases eg, lichen amyloidosis (LA) and acquired reactive perforating collagenosis (ARPC). Here, we report a coexistent LA and ARPC in a 55-year-old woman, characterized with multiple pruritic hyperkeratotic papules and plaques on both arms accompanied by pruritic hyperkeratotic papules and nodules on both legs. She had a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and post-thyroidectomy hypothyroidism due to papillary thyroid carcinoma. Histopathological examination revealed amyloid deposition in the papillary dermis corresponding with LA and cup-shaped epidermal depression filled with collagen corresponding with ARPC. The hyperkeratotic papules and nodules flattened in one month after application of 0.05% clobetasol propionate ointment with occlusion on both arms and 0.05% retinoic acid gel on both legs. Hyperkeratotic papules, nodules, and plaques in a patient with a history of endocrine diseases, such as type 2 DM and thyroid disorders should undergo histopathological examination to confirm the diagnosis of skin diseases eg, LA or ARPC.

Innate Immunity in Calcinosis Cutis. IMMUNO 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/immuno2030027] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Calcinosis cutis is the deposition of calcium salts in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, manifesting as variably shaped papules, nodules, and plaques that can substantially impair quality of life. The pathophysiology of calcinosis cutis involves dysregulation of proinflammatory cytokines, leukocytes, and other components of the innate immune system. In some conditions associated with calcinosis cutis, elevated serum calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D may also perturb innate immunity. The mechanisms by which these lead to cutaneous and subcutaneous calcification likely parallel those seen in vascular calcification. The role of aberrant innate immunity is further supported by the association between various autoantibodies with calcinosis cutis, such as anti-MDA5, anti-NXP2, anti-centromere, and anti-topoisomerase I. Treatments for calcinosis cutis remain limited and largely experimental, although mechanistically many therapies appear to focus on dampening innate immune responses. Further research is needed to better understand the innate immune pathophysiology and establish treatment options based on randomized-controlled trials.

Epigenetic Mechanisms of Epidermal Differentiation. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms23094874.

Abstract
Keratinocyte differentiation is an essential process for epidermal stratification and stratum corneum formation. Keratinocytes proliferate in the basal layer of the epidermis and start their differentiation by changing their functional or phenotypical type; this process is regulated via induction or repression of epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) genes that play a pivotal role in epidermal development. Epidermal development and the keratinocyte differentiation program are orchestrated by several transcription factors, signaling pathways, and epigenetic regulators. The latter exhibits both activating and repressive effects on chromatin in keratinocytes via the ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers, histone demethylases, and genome organizers that promote terminal keratinocyte differentiation, and the DNA methyltransferases, histone deacetylases, and Polycomb components that stimulate proliferation of progenitor cells and inhibit premature activation of terminal differentiation-associated genes. In addition, microRNAs are involved in different processes between proliferation and differentiation during the program of epidermal development. Here, we bring together current knowledge of the mechanisms controlling gene expression during keratinocyte differentiation. An awareness of epigenetic mechanisms and their alterations in health and disease will help to bridge the gap between our current knowledge and potential applications for epigenetic regulators in clinical practice to pave the way for promising target therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acquired perforating dermatoses (APDs) are characterized by transepidermal elimination of skin materials. Altered glycation of dermal components may be involved in pathogenesis. AIM To assess whether patients affected by APDs have increased levels of cutaneous advanced glycation end-products (AGEs). METHODS A cross-sectional controlled study involving a total of 109 patients was conducted, enrolling 29 patients consecutively diagnosed with primary APDs [reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC), elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS), perforating folliculitis (PF) and Kyrle disease (KD)], 40 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) and 40 patients with mild atopic dermatitis (AD). The levels of cutaneous AGEs were measured using a validated fluorescence technique. RESULTS The median skin autofluorescence value in patients with APDs was significantly higher [2.7 arbitrary units (AU), interquartile range (IQR) 1.9-3.9 AU] compared with HCs (1.8 AU, IQR 1.6-2.3 AU; P < 0.001) and patients with AD (2.1 AU, IQR 1.9-2.3 AU; P = 0.01). Median values were 3.5 AU (IQR 2.7-4.6 AU) for RPC, 1.83.5 AU (1.4-2.4 AU) for EPS, 3.1 AU (2.4-4.4 AU) for PF and 2.6 AU (2.3-3.1 AU) for KD. CONCLUSIONS Our results may suggest a possible physiopathological role of AGEs in the transepidermal elimination mechanisms involved in certain APDs.

Abstract
Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) is a rare form of dermatosis. It forms with perforating folliculitis, Kyrle's disease, and serpiginous perforating elastosis, which is a group of perforating dermatosis. RPC can be hereditary with autosomal dominant transmission or it can be acquired, which is usually observed in diabetics with chronic renal failure. Here we report a new observation in a 72-year-old woman treated by phototherapy with a favorable outcome

Abstract
The importance of the early diagnosis and treatment of diabetes and its cutaneous complications has become increasingly recognized. When diabetic non-injured skin was stained with Masson's trichrome, its dermal collagen was found to be disordered, its density was variable, and it was dispersed or arranged in vague fascicles. The collagen type I sequencing results of RNA sequencing-based transcriptome analysis of three primary human skin cell types-dermal fibroblasts, dermal microvascular endothelial cells, and epidermal keratinocytes-under high glucose were analyzed. The results showed that both COL1A1 and COL1A2 mRNA expressions were reduced in human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs). The ratio of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2/tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-2 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 in HDFs increased when treated with high glucose. By inhibiting MMP-2 and MMP-9 with SB-3CT, collagen deposition disorder of the skin in streptozotocin-induced diabetes mice was alleviated. The imbalance of MMP2/TIMP2 and MMP9/TIMP1 contributes to the non-injured skin disorder of collagen deposition in diabetes, suggesting a possibility for early treatment of diabetes skin complications.

Abstract
One of the most important functions of skin is to act as a protective barrier. To fulfill this role, the structural integrity of the skin depends on the dermal-epidermal junction—a complex network of extracellular matrix macromolecules that connect the outer epidermal layer to the underlying dermis. This junction provides both a structural support to keratinocytes and a specific niche that mediates signals influencing their behavior. It displays a distinctive microarchitecture characterized by an undulating pattern, strengthening dermal-epidermal connectivity and crosstalk. The optimal stiffness arising from the overall molecular organization, together with characteristic anchoring complexes, keeps the dermis and epidermis layers extremely well connected and capable of proper epidermal renewal and regeneration. Due to intrinsic and extrinsic factors, a large number of structural and biological changes accompany skin aging. These changes progressively weaken the dermal–epidermal junction substructure and affect its functions, contributing to the gradual decline in overall skin physiology. Most changes involve reduced turnover or altered enzymatic or non-enzymatic post-translational modifications, compromising the mechanical properties of matrix components and cells. This review combines recent and older data on organization of the dermal-epidermal junction, its mechanical properties and role in mechanotransduction, its involvement in regeneration, and its fate during the aging process.

Abstract
The adipose tissue extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates adipocyte cellular metabolism and is altered in obesity and type 2 diabetes, but mechanisms underlying ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk are poorly defined. Advanced glycation end-product (AGE) formation is increased in diabetes. AGE alter tissue function via direct effects on ECM and by binding scavenger receptors on multiple cell types and signaling through Rho GTPases. Our goal was to determine the role and underlying mechanisms of AGE in regulating human ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk. Visceral adipocytes from diabetic and non-diabetic humans with obesity were studied in 2D and 3D-ECM culture systems. AGE is increased in adipose tissue from diabetic compared to non-diabetic subjects. Glycated collagen 1 and AGE-modified ECM regulate adipocyte glucose uptake and expression of AGE scavenger receptors and Rho signaling mediators, including the DIAPH1 gene, which encodes the human Diaphanous 1 protein (hDia1). Notably, inhibition of hDia1, but not scavenger receptors RAGE or CD36, attenuated AGE-ECM inhibition of adipocyte glucose uptake. These data demonstrate that AGE-modification of ECM contributes to adipocyte insulin resistance in human diabetes, and implicate hDia1 as a potential mediator of AGE-ECM-adipocyte metabolic crosstalk.

Abstract
Perforating pilomatricoma (PP) is a rare clinical variant of pilomatricoma presenting as a crusted or ulcerated nodule. Previous reports have suggested that the tumor cells perforate the epidermis through a process of transepithelial elimination. Here, we report six cases of PP and examine the mechanism of transepithelial elimination in PP. Histologically, the dermis above or around the tumor nest exhibited edema, dilated vascular spaces, sparse collagen bundles and absence of elastic fibers, suggesting anetodermic changes in all cases. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated many CD68-positive macrophages around the tumor nests. Matrix metallopeptidase (MMP)-9 and MMP-12 were expressed in the inflammatory cells and tumor cells, and were also present in the epidermis and fibroblasts in all cases. We speculate that in PP anetodermic change caused by MMP and elastases including MMP-9 and MMP-12 may precede elimination of the tumor.

Abstract
Epidemiological and experimental studies have documented that long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) increases the risk of respiratory diseases. However, the details of the underlying mechanism remain unclear. In this study, male C57BL/6 mice were exposed to ambient PM2.5 (mean daily concentration ~64 µg/m³) for 12 weeks through a "real-world" airborne PM2.5 exposure system. We found that PM2.5 caused severe lung injury in mice as evidenced by histopathological examination. Then, tandem mass tag (TMT) labeling quantitative proteomic technology was performed to analyze protein expression profiling in the lungs from control and PM2.5-exposed mice. A total of 32 proteins were differentially expressed in PM2.5-exposed lungs versus the controls. Among these proteins, 24 and 8 proteins were up- and down-regulated, respectively. Gene ontology analysis indicated that PM2.5 exerts a toxic effect on lungs by affecting multiple biological processes, including oxidoreductase activity, receptor activity, and protein binding. Furthermore, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis revealed that extracellular matrix (ECM)⁻receptor interaction, phagosome, small cell lung cancer, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathways contribute to PM2.5-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Taken together, these results provide a comprehensive proteomics analysis to further understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying PM2.5-elicited pulmonary disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute-serum Amyloid A (A-SAA), one of the major acute-phase proteins, is mainly produced in the liver but extra-hepatic synthesis involving the skin has been reported. Its expression is regulated by the transcription factors NF-κB, C/EBPβ, STAT3 activated by proinflammatory cytokines. OBJECTIVES We investigated A-SAA synthesis by resting and cytokine-activated Normal Human Epidermal Keratinocytes (NHEK), and their inflammatory response to A-SAA stimulation. A-SAA expression was also studied in mouse skin and liver in a model mimicking psoriasis and in the skin and sera of psoriatic and atopic dermatitis (AD) patients. METHODS NHEK were stimulated by A-SAA or the cytokines IL-1α, IL-17A, IL-22, OSM, TNF-α alone or in combination, previously reported to reproduce features of psoriasis. Murine skins were treated by imiquimod cream. Human skins and sera were obtained from patients with psoriasis and AD. A-SAA mRNA was quantified by RT qPCR. A-SAA proteins were dosed by ELISA or immunonephelemetry assay. RESULTS IL-1α, TNF-α and mainly IL-17A induced A-SAA expression by NHEK. A-SAA induced its own production and the synthesis of hBD2 and CCL20, both ligands for CCR6, a chemokine receptor involved in the trafficking of Th17 lymphocytes. A-SAA expression was increased in skins and livers from imiquimod-treated mice and in patient skins with psoriasis, but not significantly in those with AD. Correlations between A-SAA and psoriasis severity and duration were observed. CONCLUSION Keratinocytes could contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis via A-SAA production, maintaining a cutaneous inflammatory environment, activating innate immunity and Th17 lymphocyte recruitment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Perforating dermatoses are a rare group of dermatologic conditions characterized by transepidermal elimination of dermal material that can be primary or acquired secondary to systemic disease. OBJECTIVE We present an atypical case of perforating dermatosis resembling elastosis perforans serpiginosa (EPS) presenting with perianal ulcers in an elderly male with no systemic disease or medications and outline his successful treatment course. CONCLUSIONS Perianal ulcers in an otherwise healthy individual is an unusual presentation for perforating disorders but should be considered in cases not responding to traditional treatment options.

Abstract
Glycation reaction is a recognized mechanism related to chronological aging. Previous investigations in cutaneous biology have considered the effect of glycation on the dermal matrix molecules, involved in tissue stiffening during skin aging. However, little is known about a possible direct effect of glycation upon cell differentiation. To address such issue, the effect of glycation has been re-investigated in a reconstructed skin model integrating monocytes that are cells capable of differentiating according to different pathways. The results showed that, in the absence of glycation, a small number of these CD45+ cells could differentiate either into dendritic-like cells (DC-SIGN+, BDC1a+, DC-LAMP+) or macrophage- like cells (CD14+, CD68+, CD163+) whereas, with glycation, the number of monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophage-like cells were found surprisingly increased. In-vivo our results showed also that dendritic and macrophage-like cells were increased and suggest a possible link with the age-dependent glycation level in the skin. In addition, we found that, unlike fibroblasts incorporated in the reconstructed skin, these cells expressed specific receptors for AGEs (RAGE and SRA). Taken altogether, our data show that cells of the monocyte lineage, in the presence of AGEs, can differentiate into dendritic or macrophage-like cells and could lead to a micro inflammatory environment.

Abstract
In vivo modification of proteins by molecules with reactive carbonyl groups leads to intermediate and advanced glycation end products (AGE). Glucose is a significant glycation reagent due to its high physiological concentration and poorly controlled diabetics show increased albumin glycation. Increased levels of glycated and AGE-modified albumin have been linked to diabetic complications, neurodegeneration, and vascular disease. This review discusses glycated albumin formation, structural consequences of albumin glycation on drug binding, removal of circulating AGE by several scavenger receptors, as well as AGE-induced proinflammatory signaling through activation of the receptor for AGE. Analytical methods for quantitative detection of protein glycation and AGE formation are compared. Finally, the use of glycated albumin as a novel clinical marker to monitor glycemic control is discussed and compared to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) as long-term indicator of glycemic status.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate in the aging skin. To understand the biological effects of individual AGEs, skin reconstructed with collagen selectively enriched with Nɛ-(carboxymethyl)-lysine (CML), Nɛ-(carboxyethyl)-lysine (CEL), methylglyoxal hydroimidazolone (MG-H1), or pentosidine was studied. Immunohistochemistry revealed increased expression of α6 integrin at the dermal epidermal junction by CEL and CML (p<0.01). Laminin 5 was diminished by CEL and MG-H1 (p<0.05). Both CML and CEL induced a robust increase (p<0.01) in procollagen I. In the culture medium, IL-6, VEGF, and MMP1 secretion were significantly decreased (p<0.05) by MG-H1. While both CEL and CML decreased MMP3, only CEL decreased IL-6 and TIMP1, while CML stimulated TIMP1 synthesis significantly (p<0.05). mRNA expression studies using qPCR in the epidermis layer showed that CEL increased type 7 collagen (COL7A1), β1, and α6 integrin, while CML increased only COL7A1 (p<0.05). MG-H1-modified collagen had no effect. Importantly, in the dermis layer, MMP3 mRNA expression was increased by both CML and MG-H1. CML also significantly increased the mRNAs of MMP1, TIMP1, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF), IL-6, and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP1) (p<0.05). Mixed effects were present in CEL-rich matrix. Minimally glycoxidized pentosidine-rich collagen suppressed most mRNAs of the genes studied (p<0.05) and decreased VEGF and increased MCP1 protein expression. Taken together, this model of the aging skin suggests that a combination of AGEs tends to counterbalance and thus minimizes the detrimental biological effects of individual AGEs.

Abstract
Angiogenesis is generally a quiescent process which, however, may be modified by different physiological and pathological conditions. The "angiogenic paradox" has been described in diabetes because this disease impairs the angiogenic response in a manner that differs depending on the organs involved and disease evolution. Aging is also associated with pro- and antiangiogenic processes. Glycation, the post-translational modification of proteins, increases with aging and the progression of diabetes. The effect of glycation on angiogenesis depends on the type of glycated proteins and cells involved. This complex link could be responsible for the "angiogenic paradox" in aging and age-related disorders and diseases. Using diabetes as a model, the present work has attempted to review the age-related angiogenic paradox, in particular the effects of glycation on angiogenesis during aging.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) on intracellular calcium concentration in isolated colonic smooth muscle cells and the possible mechanisms involved.
METHODS: Colonic smooth muscle cells were isolated from normal adult rats, and immumofluorescence staining for α-actin was used to identify smooth muscle cells. The responsiveness of colonic smooth muscle cells to AGEs was measured by confocal laser scanning microscopy. Intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined by Fluo3/AM based digital microfluorimetric measurement. Protein kinase C (PKC) activity was detected by PKC activity assay. PKC inhibitor chelerythrine was used to examine the role of PKC in AGEs-mediated inhibition of [Ca2+]i in colonic smooth muscle cells.
RESULTS: Colonic smooth muscle cells were successfully isolated from normal rats and identified by immunofluorescence staining. AGEs inhibited [Ca2+]i in a concentration-dependent manner. AGEs at a concentration of 50 or 100 µg/mL significantly inhibited the mean [Ca2+]i compared with the control group (56.7% ± 3.6%, 78.6% ± 5% vs 99.6% ± 3.1%, P < 0.05, P < 0.01). PKC activity increased in SMCs treated with 50 µg/mL or 100 µg/mL of AGEs compared with the control group. Pretreatment with chelerythrine (1 µmol/L) reduced AGEs-mediated inhibition of [Ca2+]i (70.7% ± 3.7% vs 87.1% ± 2.5%, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: AGEs inhibit [Ca2+]i in colonic smooth muscle cells in a PKC-dependent manner.

Abstract
Epigenetic alterations are increasingly recognized as mechanisms for disease-associated changes in genome function and important risk factors for complex diseases. The epigenome differs between cell types and so far has been characterized in few human tissues only. In order to identify disease-associated DNA methylation differences for atopic dermatitis (AD), we investigated DNA from whole blood, T cells, B cells, as well as lesional and non-lesional epidermis from AD patients and healthy controls. To elicit functional links, we examined epidermal mRNA expression profiles. No genome-wide significant DNA methylation differences between AD cases and controls were observed in whole blood, T cells, and B cells, and, in general, intra-individual differences in DNA methylation were larger than interindividual differences. However, striking methylation differences were observed between lesional epidermis from patients and healthy control epidermis for various CpG sites, which partly correlated with altered transcript levels of genes predominantly relevant for epidermal differentiation and innate immune response. Significant DNA methylation differences were discordant in skin and blood samples, suggesting that blood is not an ideal surrogate for skin tissue. Our pilot study provides preliminary evidence for functionally relevant DNA methylation differences associated with AD, particularly in the epidermis, and represents a starting point for future investigations of epigenetic mechanisms in AD.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide. Although major complications of this condition involve kidney, retina and peripheral nerves, the skin of diabetic patients is also frequently injured. Hence, interest is mounting in the definition of the structural and molecular profile of non-complicated diabetic skin, i.e., before injuries occur. Most of the available knowledge in this area has been obtained relatively recently and, in part, derives from various diabetic animal models. These include both insulin-dependent and insulin-resistant models. Structural work in human diabetic skin has also been carried out by means of tissue samples or of non-invasive methods. Indications have indeed been found for molecular/structural changes in diabetic skin. However, the overall picture that emerges is heterogeneous, incomplete and often contradictory and many questions remain unanswered. This review aims to detail, as much as possible, the various pieces of current knowledge in a systematic and synoptic manner. This should aid the identification of areas in which key questions are still open and more research is needed. A comprehensive understanding of this field could help in determining molecular targets for the prevention and treatment of skin injuries in DM and markers for the monitoring of cutaneous and systemic aspects of the disease. Additionally, with the increasing development of non-invasive optics-based deep-tissue-imaging diagnostic technologies, precise knowledge of cutaneous texture and molecular structure becomes an important pre-requisite for the use of such methods in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Aging is the progressive accumulation of damage to an organism over time leading to disease and death. Aging research has been very intensive in the last years aiming at characterizing the pathophysiology of aging and finding possibilities to fight age-related diseases. Various theories of aging have been proposed. In the last years advanced glycation end products (AGEs) have received particular attention in this context. AGEs are formed in high amounts in diabetes but also in the physiological organism during aging. They have been etiologically implicated in numerous diabetes- and age-related diseases. Strategies inhibiting AGE accumulation and signaling seem to possess a therapeutic potential in these pathologies. However, still little is known on the precise role of AGEs during skin aging. In this review the existing literature on AGEs and skin aging will be reviewed. In addition, existing and potential anti-AGE strategies that may be beneficial on skin aging will be discussed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to identify the predictors of acquired perforating dermatosis (APD) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). METHODS A case-control study was performed at our outpatient HD center between January 1, 2000 and March 31, 2011. Patients on HD with APD were matched (1 : 2) for gender and age with controls on HD. Conditional logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with APD. RESULTS A total of 19 patients with APD and 38 age and gender matched patients were enrolled in the study. Univariate logistic regression showed that APD was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus (DM), reduced levels of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) and albumin (Alb), reduced dialysis adequacy (Kt/V) and urea reduction rate (URR), and elevated levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP). Multivariate logistic regression identified reduced iPTH (hazard ratio (HR): 0.983; P = 0.026) and Alb (HR: 0.099; P = 0.047) and elevated hsCRP (HR: 1.210, P = 0.024) as risk factors for APD. CONCLUSIONS iPTH, hsCRP, and Alb are predictors for APD in HD patients.

Abstract
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) exert divergent effects on the pathogenesis of diabetes complications. Excessive expression of matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) is deleterious to the cutaneous wound-healing process in the context of diabetes. However, the effect of AGEs on MMP-9 induction in skin cells and the exact molecular mechanisms involved are still poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the effect of AGEs on the production of MMP-9 in HaCaT keratinocytes and characterized the signal transduction pathways activated by AGEs that are involved in MMP-9 regulation. We showed that AGE-BSA increased MMP-9 expression in HaCaT cells at both the protein and mRNA levels. The stimulatory effect of AGE-BSA on MMP-9 was attenuated by inhibitors of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK1/2, U0126), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, SB203580) and NF-κB, but not c-Jun N-terminal kinase. Furthermore, receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) was expressed in keratinocytes, and incubation with AGE-BSA resulted in a significant upregulation of RAGE expression in a dose-dependent manner. Silencing of the RAGE gene prevented AGE-BSA-induced MMP-9 activation and the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK. We also observed the involvement of NF-κB in AGE-BSA-induced MMP-9 activation, which was not blocked by U0126 and SB203580. These results suggest that AGEs may play an important role in the impairment of diabetic wound healing by upregulating MMP-9 expression in keratinocytes via the RAGE, ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK pathways; activation of NF-κB is also involved in this process. These pathways may represent potential targets for drug interventions to improve diabetic wound healing, a process in which MMP-9 plays a critical role.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reactive perforating collagenosis (RPC) belongs to the group of perforating dermatoses, which comprises elastosis perforans serpiginosa, RPC, perforating folliculitis and Kyrle's disease. RPC was initially described as a distinctive form of transepithelial elimination of altered collagen related to superficial trauma. Two types are distinguished: a hereditary type (MIM 216700), which is rare and begins during early childhood, and a second type, called acquired RPC, which is more frequent, appears in adults and is associated with other diseases, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, solid tumors, lymphomas and AIDS. We report the case of a young man whose illness began during infancy, militating in favor of a diagnosis of a hereditary form of RPC. The description of similar lesions in the patient's brother confirmed our diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A 26-year-old man, the child of consanguinous parents, presented crusted papular lesions on his hands. The cutaneous lesions, located on the external side of the limbs, had been present since childhood, with flares during winter. Histologic analysis showed a cup-shaped depression in the epidermis containing keratinous material with extruded degenerated collagen towards the cutaneous surface. Treatment with topic retinoids did not result in any real resolution of the disease. The patient reported the presence of similar lesions in his brother, which was consistent with our diagnosis. DISCUSSION The pathogenesis of hereditary RPC is still unknown, even if superficial trauma is suspected as the cause of RPC. In contrast, in diabetes, acquired RPC pathogenesis has recently been related to advanced glycation end-products of collagen.

Abstract
PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that cardiac morphologic differences between Ames dwarf and wild-type littermates might correlate with the increased longevity observed in the Ames dwarf mice. METHODS Hearts removed from young adult (5-7 mo) and old (24-28 mo) Ames dwarf and wild-type littermates underwent histological and morphometric analysis. Measurements of cell size, nuclear size, and collagen content were made using computerized color deconvolution and particle analysis methodology. RESULTS In the young mice at six months of age, mean cardiomyocyte area was 46% less in Ames dwarf than in wild-type mice (p<0.0001). Cardiomyocyte size increased with age by about 52% in the wild-type mice and 44% in the Ames dwarf mice (p<0.001). There was no difference in nuclear size of the cardiomyocytes between the young adult wild-type and Ames dwarf mice. There was an age-associated increase in the cardiomyocyte nuclear size by approximately 50% in both the Ames and wild-type mice (p<0.001). The older Ames dwarf mice had slightly larger cardiomyocyte nuclei compared to wild-type (2%, p<0.05). The collagen content of the hearts in young adult Ames dwarf mice was estimated to be 57% less compared to wild-type littermates (p<0.05). Although collagen content of both Ames dwarf and wild-type mouse hearts increased with age, there was no significant difference at 24 months. CONCLUSIONS In wild-type and Ames dwarf mice, nuclear size, cardiomyocyte size, and collagen content increased with advancing age. While cardiomyocyte size was much reduced in young and old Ames dwarf mice compared with wild-type, collagen content was reduced only in the young adult mice. Taken together, these findings suggest that Ames dwarf mice may receive some longevity benefit from the reduced cardiomyocyte cell size and a period of reduced collagen content in the heart during adulthood.
