Sci Rep 2022; 12:13854. [PMID: 35974070 PMCID: PMC9381529 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-17928-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/02/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022] Open
Abstract
Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a DNA repair disease that predisposes to early skin cancers as cutaneous melanoma. Melanoma microenvironment contains inflammatory mediators, which would be interesting biomarkers for the prognosis or for the identification of novel therapeutic targets. We used a PCR array to evaluate the transcriptional pattern of 84 inflammatory genes in melanoma tumors obtained from XP patients (XP-Mel) and in sporadic melanoma (SP-Mel) compared to healthy skin. Commonly expressed inflammatory genes were further explored via GTEx and GEPIA databases. The differentially expressed inflammatory genes in XP were compared to their expression in skin exposed to UVs, and evaluated on the basis of the overall survival outcomes of patients with melanoma. Monocyte subsets of patients with SP-Mel, XP and healthy donors were also assessed. PCR array data revealed that 34 inflammatory genes were under-expressed in XP-Mel compared to SP-Mel. Differentially expressed genes that were common in XP-Mel and SP-Mel were correlated with the transcriptomic datasets from GEPIA and GTEx and highlighted the implication of KLK1 and IL8 in the tumorigenesis. We showed also that in XP-Mel tumors, there was an overexpression of KLK6 and KLK10 genes, which seems to be associated with a bad survival rate. As for the innate immunity, we observed a decrease of intermediate monocytes in patients with SP-Mel and in XP. We highlight an alteration in the immune response in XP patients. We identified candidate biomarkers involved in the tumorigenesis, and in the survival of patients with melanoma. Intermediate monocyte's in patients at risk could be a prognostic biomarker for melanoma outcome.

Acral lentiginous melanoma: Basic facts, biological characteristics and research perspectives of an understudied disease. Pigment Cell Melanoma Res 2020; 34:59-71. [PMID: 32330367 PMCID: PMC7818404 DOI: 10.1111/pcmr.12885] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2020] [Revised: 04/10/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022]
Abstract
Acral lentiginous melanoma is a histological subtype of cutaneous melanoma that occurs in the glabrous skin of the palms, soles and the nail unit. Although in some countries, particularly in Latin America, Africa and Asia, it represents the most frequently diagnosed subtype of the disease, it only represents a small proportion of melanoma cases in European‐descent populations, which is partially why it has not been studied to the same extent as other forms of melanoma. As a result, its unique genomic drivers remain comparatively poorly explored, as well as its causes, with current evidence supporting a UV‐independent path to tumorigenesis. In this review, we discuss current knowledge of the aetiology and diagnostic criteria of acral lentiginous melanoma, as well as its epidemiological and histopathological characteristics. We also describe what is known about the genomic landscape of this disease and review the available biological models to explore potential therapeutic targets.

Ann Dermatol Venereol 2019; 146:192-203. [PMID: 30853323 DOI: 10.1016/j.annder.2018.11.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2018] [Revised: 08/24/2018] [Accepted: 11/28/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genetic disease comprising 7 subgroups, A to G, all of which are associated with early onset of several forms of skin cancer. Our main objective was to determine the prevalence of skin cancers in a cohort of dark-skinned XP-C patients in Mayotte. PATIENTS AND METHODS A single-centre cohort consisting of all XP patients was followed in the island of Mayotte from December 2015 to May 2017 by dermatologists from the University Hospital of Saint-Denis (Reunion) during the course of dermatological missions. RESULTS Eighteen patients of median age 12.9 years (7 female/11 male) belonging to 14 families were included. All had XP-C and carried the same mutation. Median age at clinical diagnosis of XP was 1.8 years. A total of 144 skin cancers (94 squamous cell carcinomas [SCC], 30 basal cell carcinomas [BCC], 14 melanomas, 5 sarcomas and 1 sarcomatoid carcinoma) were observed in 11 of the 18 patients (61%). Eleven patients (61%) had at least 1 SCC, 6 (33%) had at least 1 BCC, 6 (33%) had at least 1 melanoma, and 4 (22%) had at least 1 sarcoma. In all, 95.5% of the cancers occurred in light-exposed skin areas. Median age was 5.4 years for the initial cancer and 6.4 years for the second. SCCs and sarcomas occurred earlier than CBCs and melanomas (P<0.0001). All patients had mild to severe poikiloderma and presented photophobia, and 50% had pigmented palmoplantar lesions. One-third had oral mucosal involvement while 78% had ocular or palpebral lesions. Nail and hair involvement was recorded in 17% of patients. The median sun protection score (evaluated on a 7-item scale) was 6/7. The median score on the quality-of-life questionnaire (DLQI) was 4/30. Severity of poikiloderma was significantly correlated with the occurrence of skin cancers. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Our cohort showed a high prevalence of skin cancer in XP-C patients of phototype V and VI exposed to UV radiation in a tropical region. SCCs were the most common tumours. The prevalence of melanoma was high, with major risk compared to controls of the same skin phototype. In addition, we found a high prevalence of sarcomas (5 patients). Initial cancers occurred early (5.4 years) compared to data from the literature, and SCCs and sarcomas occurred significantly sooner than melanomas and BCCs.

Environmental effects of ozone depletion, UV radiation and interactions with climate change: UNEP Environmental Effects Assessment Panel, update 2017. Photochem Photobiol Sci 2018; 17:127-179.

Abstract
The Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (EEAP) is one of three Panels of experts that inform the Parties to the Montreal Protocol. The EEAP focuses on the effects of UV radiation on human health, terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, air quality, and materials, as well as on the interactive effects of UV radiation and global climate change. When considering the effects of climate change, it has become clear that processes resulting in changes in stratospheric ozone are more complex than previously held. Because of the Montreal Protocol, there are now indications of the beginnings of a recovery of stratospheric ozone, although the time required to reach levels like those before the 1960s is still uncertain, particularly as the effects of stratospheric ozone on climate change and vice versa, are not yet fully understood. Some regions will likely receive enhanced levels of UV radiation, while other areas will likely experience a reduction in UV radiation as ozone- and climate-driven changes affect the amounts of UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface. Like the other Panels, the EEAP produces detailed Quadrennial Reports every four years; the most recent was published as a series of seven papers in 2015 (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2015, 14, 1-184). In the years in between, the EEAP produces less detailed and shorter Update Reports of recent and relevant scientific findings. The most recent of these was for 2016 (Photochem. Photobiol. Sci., 2017, 16, 107-145). The present 2017 Update Report assesses some of the highlights and new insights about the interactive nature of the direct and indirect effects of UV radiation, atmospheric processes, and climate change. A full 2018 Quadrennial Assessment, will be made available in 2018/2019.
