Abstract
ABSTRACT Ichthyosis is a group of genetic keratinization disorders characterized by excessive scaling that is associated with hyperproliferative epidermis and/or cellular retention. Whereas normal outer epidermis thickness is 25 μm, it can be 10-fold greater in patients with ichthyosis. As a result, photoactivation of 7-dehydrocholesterol is impaired, causing systemic vitamin D deficiency.In this case series, 25 patients with congenital ichthyosis with vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/mL) were supplemented with 60,000 IU of vitamin D3 for 10 days followed by daily allowance of 400 to 600 IU of vitamin D3 and 40 mg/kg per day of elemental calcium. The authors assessed improvement in cutaneous scaling and body and tested patients' blood and urine samples at day 1, day 10, 1 month, and 3 months. They also documented patients' Dermatology Life Quality Index score before and after treatment.All patients had normal vitamin D levels; supplementation was discontinued for two patients who reached a level of 100 ng/mL within 10 days. Subjective improvement of symptoms (dryness of the skin, allergic rhinitis, tightness of the skin, and scaling) was observed by both the provider and the patients. There was remarkable improvement in symptoms of severe ichthyosis such as lamellar ichthyosis (tightness of the skin and scaling). Marked improvement in Dermatology Life Quality Index score was also noted.This case series demonstrated remarkable symptomatic relief with vitamin D supplementation in patients with congenital ichthyosis; however, additional research should be conducted with larger sample sizes to support these findings.

Calcitriol modulates epidermal tight junction barrier function in human keratinocytes. J Dermatol Sci 2024; 114:13-23. [PMID: 38448341 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdermsci.2024.02.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aberrant expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins play an important role in several diseases with impaired skin barriers, including atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, and chronic wounds. The evidence provided thus far suggests an important role of calcitriol in skin homeostasis. However, it is not known whether calcitriol improves the impaired skin barrier. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of calcitriol on TJ barrier function in human primary keratinocytes. METHODS Normal human primary keratinocytes were stimulated with calcitriol, and the expression of TJ-related proteins was measured by real-time PCR and Western blotting. Immunofluorescence was used to examine the intercellular distribution of TJ-related proteins. TJ barrier function was assessed by the transepithelial electrical resistance (TER) assay. RESULTS We demonstrated that calcitriol increased the expression levels of TJ-related proteins, including claudin-4, claudin-7, occludin, and zonula occludens (ZO)- 1. Calcitriol enhanced the distribution of TJ-related proteins at cellcell borders and induced the phosphorylation of pathways involved in the regulation of TJ barrier function, such as atypical protein kinase C (aPKC), Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1), phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), and protein kinase B (Akt), as evidenced by the effects of specific inhibitors on the above pathways. Indeed, we confirmed that calcitriol enhanced TER in keratinocyte monolayers. CONCLUSION These findings showed that calcitriol could modify the expression of keratinocyte TJ proteins, contributing to the maintenance of homeostatic barrier function.

Abstract
Solar keratosis, also known as actinic keratosis (AK), is becoming increasingly prevalent. It is a benign tumor that develops in the epidermis. Individuals with AK typically exhibit irregular, red, scaly bumps or patches as a result of prolonged exposure to UV rays. These growths primarily appear on sun-exposed areas of the skin such as the face, scalp, and hands. Presently, dermatologists are actively studying AK due to its rising incidence rate in the United States. However, the underlying causes of AK remain poorly understood. Previous research has indicated that the onset of AK involves various mechanisms including UV ray-induced inflammation, oxidative stress, complex mutagenesis, resulting immunosuppression, inhibited apoptosis, dysregulated cell cycle, altered cell proliferation, tissue remodeling, and human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. AK can develop in three ways: spontaneous regression, persistence, or progression into invasive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Multiple risk factors and diverse signaling pathways collectively contribute to its complex pathogenesis. To mitigate the risk of cancerous changes associated with long-term UV radiation exposure, prompt identification, management, and prevention of AK are crucial. The objective of this review is to elucidate the primary mechanisms underlying AK malignancy and identify potential treatment targets for dermatologists in clinical settings.

The proteome of hand eczema assessed by tape stripping. J Invest Dermatol 2023:S0022-202X(23)00071-4.

Abstract
Hand eczema (HE) is a prevalent skin disease. However, classification of HE into different subtypes remains challenging. Limited number of prior studies have employed invasive biopsy-based strategies; yet, studies of the HE proteome using non-invasive tape stripping methodology have not been reported. In this study, we wanted to assess whether global proteomic analysis of skin tape strip samples can be used for sub-classification of HE patients. Tape strips were collected from patients with HE and healthy skin. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) proteomics was performed, and the global protein expression was analyzed. We identified 2,919 proteins in stratum corneum-derived skin cells from tape strip samples. Compared to healthy skin, the lesional samples from HE patients exhibited increased expression of immune-related markers and a decreased expression of structural barrier proteins. The difference between HE subtypes was restricted to the lesional skin areas, and included an increased expression of skin barrier-related proteins independently of the concurrent AD. In conclusion we found, that the non-invasive tape strip method used in combination with LC/MS proteomics can be used for analysis of skin protein expression in HE patients. Thus, the method shows potential for assessing the proteomic differences between subtypes of HE, and biomarker discovery.

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.

Abstract
Respiratory viral infections are common respiratory diseases. Influenza viruses, RSV and SARS-COV2 have the potential to cause severe respiratory infections. Numerous studies have shown that unregulated immune response to these viruses can cause excessive inflammation and tissue damage. Therefore, regulating the antiviral immune response in the respiratory tract is of importance. In this regard, recent years studies have emphasized the importance of vitamin D in respiratory viral infections. Although, the most well-known role of vitamin D is to regulate the metabolism of phosphorus and calcium, it has been shown that this vitamin has other important functions. One of these functions is immune regulation. Vitamin D can regulate the antiviral immune response in the respiratory tract in order to provide an effective defense against respiratory viral infections and prevention from excessive inflammatory response and tissue damage. In addition, this vitamin has preventive effects against respiratory viral infections. Some studies during the COVID-19 pandemic have shown that vitamin D deficiency may be associated with a higher risk of mortality and sever disease in patients with COVID-19. Since, more attention has recently been focused on vitamin D. In this article, after a brief overview of the antiviral immune response in the respiratory system, we will review the role of vitamin D in regulating the antiviral immune response comprehensively. Then we will discuss the importance of this vitamin in influenza, RSV, and COVID-19.

Abstract
The skin is a vital organ of the human body, serving numerous protective and functional roles that are essential for survival. Residing in the epidermis are various epidermal proteases responsible for the establishment and regulation of barrier function. The human tissue kallikrein-related peptidase family conserves homeostasis of the skin barrier through their roles in desquamation, antimicrobial defense, innate immune response, and barrier maintenance. The activity of kallikreins is tightly regulated and dysregulation of kallikrein activity is seen to contribute to the formation of several inflammatory skin disorders. This review highlights the roles of kallikreins in skin homeostasis and pathologies. Due to their part in these skin disorders, inhibitors of the skin kallikreins have become attractive therapeutics. Over the past few years, both natural and synthetic inhibitors of several kallikreins have been identified and are undergoing further development as treatments to restore compromised barrier function. This review summarizes the kallikrein inhibitors under development for this purpose. These inhibitors remain promising therapeutics in cases of severe skin inflammation not well managed by current therapies.

Abstract
In mouse models of squamous cell carcinoma, pre-treatment with calcitriol prior to photodynamic therapy with aminolevulinic acid (ALA) enhances tumor cell death. We have evaluated the association between vitamin D status and the response of actinic keratoses to photodynamic therapy with methylaminolevulinate. Twenty-five patients with actinic keratoses on the head received one session of photodynamic therapy with methylaminolevulinate. Biopsies were taken at baseline and six weeks after treatment. Immuno-histochemical staining was performed for VDR, P53, Ki67 and β-catenin. Basal serum 25(OH)D levels were determined. Cases with a positive histological response to treatment had significantly higher serum 25(OH)D levels (26.96 (SD 7.49) ngr/mL) than those without response (18.60 (SE 7.49) ngr/mL) (p = 0.05). Patients with a complete clinical response displayed lower basal VDR expression (35.71% (SD 19.88)) than partial responders (62.78% (SD 16.735)), (p = 0.002). Our results support a relationship between vitamin D status and the response of actinic keratoses to photodynamic therapy with methylaminolevulinate.

Abstract
In regions where sunlight exposure is limited, dietary vitamin D intake becomes important for maintaining status. However, Swedish children have been shown to have deficient or marginal status during the winter months even if the recommended dietary intake is met. Since low vitamin D status has been associated with several disease states, this study investigated the metabolic changes associated with improved vitamin D status due to supplementation. During the 3 winter months, 5-7-year-old children (n=170) in northern (Umeå, 63° N) and southern (Malmö, 55° N) Sweden were supplemented daily with 2 (placebo), 10 or 25 μg of vitamin D. BMI-for-age z-scores (BAZ), S-25(OH)D concentrations, insulin concentrations and the serum metabolome were assessed at baseline and follow-up. S-25(OH)D concentrations increased significantly in both supplementation groups (P<.001). Only arginine and isopropanol concentrations exhibited significant associations with improvements in S-25(OH)D. Furthermore, the extent to which S-25(OH)D increased was correlated with a combination of baseline BAZ and the change in serum fructose concentrations from baseline to follow up (P=.012). In particular, the change in S-25(OH)D concentrations was negatively correlated (P=.030) with the change in fructose concentrations for subjects with BAZ ≥0 and consuming at least 20 μg vitamin D daily. These results suggest that although the metabolic changes associated with improved vitamin D status are small, the effectiveness of dietary supplementation may be influenced by serum fructose concentrations.

IL-36γ Induced by the TLR3-SLUG-VDR Axis Promotes Wound Healing via REG3A. J Invest Dermatol 2017; 137:2620-2629.

Abstract
IL-36 family members are highly expressed in hyperproliferative keratinocytes and play an important role in the pathogenesis of skin diseases such as psoriasis. However, whether and how IL-36 cytokines are induced to promote wound healing remains unknown. Here we showed that skin injury increased the expression of IL-36γ to promote wound healing. Mechanistically, the expression of IL-36γ was induced by RNAs from damaged cells via the activation of toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3) and TIR-domain-containing adapter-inducing IFN-β (TRIF) followed by the induction of a zinc finger protein SLUG to abrogate the inhibitory effect of vitamin D receptor (VDR) on the promoter of IL-36γ gene. IL-36γ acted back on keratinocytes to induce REG3A, which regulated keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation, thus promoting wound re-epithelialization. These observations show that skin injury increases IL-36γ via the activation of TLR3-SLUG-VDR axis and that IL-36γ induces REG3A to promote wound healing. These findings also provide insights into pathways contributing to wound repair.

Abstract
Peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD) enzymes are of enormous interest in biomedicine. They catalyze the conversion of a positively-charged guanidinium at an arginine side chain into a neutral ureido group. As a result of this conversion, proteins acquire the non-ribosomally encoded amino acid "citrulline". This imposes critical influences on the structure and function of the target molecules. In multiple sclerosis, myelin hyper-citrullination promotes demyelination by reducing its compaction and triggers auto-antibody production. Immune responses to citrulline-containing proteins play a central role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Moreover, auto-antibodies, specific to citrullinated proteins, such as collagen type I and II and filaggrin, are early detectable in rheumatoid arthritis, serving as diagnostic markers of the disease. Despite their significance, little is understood about the role in demyelinating disorders, diversified cancers, and auto-immune diseases. To impart their biological and pathological effects, it is crucial to better understand the reaction mechanism, kinetic properties, substrate selection, and specificities of peptidylarginine deiminase isoforms.Many aspects of PAD biochemistry and physiology have been ignored in past, but, herein is presented a comprehensive survey to improve our current understandings of the underlying mechanism and regulation of PAD enzymes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tissue kallikrein and the kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) constitute a family of 15 homologous secreted serine proteases with trypsin- or chymotrypsin-like activities, which participate in a broad spectrum of physiological procedures. Deregulated expression and/or activation of the majority of the family members have been reported in several human diseases, thereby making KLKs ideal targets for therapeutic intervention. AREAS COVERED In the present review, we summarize the role of KLKs in normal human physiology and pathology, focusing on prostate cancer and skin diseases. Furthermore, we discuss the recent advances in the development of KLK-based therapies. A great number of diverse engineered KLKs inhibitors with improved potency, selectivity and immunogenicity have been synthesized by redesigning examples that are endogenous and naturally occurring. Moreover, encouraging results have been documented using KLKs-based vaccines and immunotherapies, as well as KLKs-mediated activation of pro-drugs. Finally, KLKs-targeting aptamers and KLKs-based imaging tools represent novel approaches towards the exploitation of KLKs' therapeutic value. EXPERT OPINION The central/critical roles of KLK family in several human pathologies highlight KLKs as attractive molecular targets for developing novel therapeutics.

Abstract
Skin wounds need to be repaired rapidly after injury to restore proper skin barrier function. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a conserved signaling factor that has been shown to promote a variety of skin wound repair processes, including immune cell migration, angiogenesis and sensory axon repair. Despite growing research on H2O2 functions in wound repair, the downstream signaling pathways activated by this reactive oxygen species in the context of injury remain largely unknown. The goal of this study was to provide a comprehensive analysis of gene expression changes in the epidermis upon exposure to H2O2 concentrations known to promote wound repair. Comparative transcriptome analysis using RNA-seq data from larval zebrafish and previously reported microarray data from a human epidermal keratinocyte line shows that H2O2 activates conserved cell migration, adhesion, cytoprotective and anti-apoptotic programs in both zebrafish and human keratinocytes. Further assessment of expression characteristics and signaling pathways revealed the activation of three major H2O2–dependent pathways, EGF, FOXO1, and IKKα. This study expands on our current understanding of the clinical potential of low-level H2O2 for the promotion of epidermal wound repair and provides potential candidates in the treatment of wound healing deficits.

Abstract
Severe vitamin D deficiency and rickets are highly prevalent among children with congenital ichthyosis. We report an incidental observation of a dramatic and excellent clinical response with regard to skin scaling and stiffness in children with congenital ichthyosis after short-term high-dose vitamin D supplementation that has not been previously described. Seven children with congenital ichthyosis (5 with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis; 2 with epidermolytic ichthyosis) and severe vitamin D deficiency (and/or rickets) were given 60,000 IU of oral cholecalciferol daily for 10 days under supervision. All children were subsequently put on recommended daily allowance of 400 to 600 IU of cholecalciferol. The main outcome measures observed and studied were reduction in skin scaling and stiffness of the extremities. All cases had severe vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 4 ng/mL) and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Six patients had clinical and radiologic evidence of rickets. Significant improvement in scaling was noticeable by day 5, showing further improvement by day 10, in 6 of the 7 cases. At 1 month, the skin had become near normal in all the cases of autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. Remarkable reduction in stiffness was also observed in all children. Supplementation with high-dose vitamin D followed by recommended daily allowance appears to be an effective form of therapy in the management of congenital ichthyosis with vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
Calcitriol, the hormonally active form of vitamin D, is well known for its diverse pharmacological activities, including modulation of cell growth, neuromuscular and immune function and reduction of inflammation. Calcitriol and its analogs exert potent effects on cellular differentiation and proliferation, regulate apoptosis and produce immunomodulatory effects. The purpose of this review is to provide information on various physiological and pharmacological activities of calcitriol and its newly discovered analogs. Special emphasis is given to skin diseases, cancer, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. A discussion is raised on the mechanisms of action of calcitriol and its analogs in various diseases, as well as on possible methods of delivery and targeting.

Abstract
Calcitriol had been proved to be effective for treatment of psoriasis vulgaris. However, the molecular events leading to the normalization of keratinocyte differentiation had not been fully explored. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of calcitriol and serpin B1 in human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT) proliferation. Proteins extracted from calcitriol-treated and untreated HaCaT were separated by 2-D differential gel electrophoresis (2DE). Then, the 2DE profiles were analyzed to screen for differentially expressed proteins, which were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry. The upregulation of serpin B1 was confirmed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot analysis. The effect of serpin B1 on HaCaT proliferation was analyzed by RNA interference experiments, methylthiazoletetrazolium assay and flow cytometry. Reproducible 2-DE profiles of HaCaT were established. The result that serpin B1 was upregulated in the calcitriol-treated group was confirmed by qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. Calcitriol could inhibit proliferation of HaCaT at the concentration of 10(-9) -10(-6 ) mol/L. HaCaT proliferation was promoted when serpin B1 was interfered. The inhibition effect of calcitriol was stopped after serpin B1 was interfered. Serpin B1 was overexpressed in calcitriol-treated HaCaT cells and may play an important role in inhibiting HaCaT proliferation by calcitriol.

Abstract
Age-related macular degeneration is the major cause of blindness in the elderly worldwide and the risk is influenced by both environmental and genetic risk factors. One important disease-associated region in humans is located on 10q26 and includes the two candidate genes ARMS2 and HTRA1. However, determination of the causative gene has not yet been possible and examining the situation in the rhesus monkey may help understand the situation in humans. In a recent paper, we characterized the rhesus monkey 10q26-orthologue region on chromosome 9 in detail and identified the drusen-associated HTRA1 promoter SNP rs196357513 as a putative risk factor. In this study, we predicted 9 binding sites for the vitamin D-dependent transcription factor vitamin D receptor in the rhesus HTRA1 promoter, one of which is destroyed by the rs196357513-risk allele. As patients with vitamin D deficit are at increased risk for age-related macular degeneration, a luciferase assay in transiently transfected ARPE19-cells was performed to evaluate the influence of the SNP rs196357513 and of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D on the rhesus monkey HTRA1 promoter activity. This revealed that the luciferase activity of the promoter construct containing the rs196357513 wild type allele was significantly reduced after vitamin D stimulation. An in silico analysis and literature search imply that this regulation could also play a role in human HTRA1 expression. Moreover, HTRA1 promoter activity of the construct containing the rs196357513 risk allele appeared diminished in comparison to the construct with the wild type allele, albeit this difference was not significant. The lower promoter activity due to the rhesus monkey rs196357513 risk allele apparently contradicts the common hypothesis for the human HTRA1 promoter risk allele of SNP rs11200638, for which a higher promoter activity has been observed. Our data point to a yet unexpected effect of decreased HTRA1 expression on drusen pathogenesis. Thus not only a higher HTRA1 expression, but an imbalance of HTRA1 might be disease-relevant. Both findings require closer analysis, but if relevance for humans proves true, it would impact current age-related macular degeneration research and treatment.

Abstract
Numerous studies to date have been aimed at unraveling the large suite of calcitriol (1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3)) response genes in diverse tissues including skin, where this hormone is involved in regulating keratinocyte proliferation, differentiation, permeability barrier formation, innate immunity promotion, antimicrobial peptide production, and wound healing. However, the various approaches differ considerably in probed cell types, scale, throughput, and statistical reliability and do, of note, not reveal much overlap. To further expand our knowledge on presently elusive targets and characterize the extent of fragmentation of existing datasets, we have performed whole-transcriptome microarray examinations of calcitriol-treated human primary keratinocytes. Out of 28,869 genes investigated, we uncovered 86 differentially expressed (67 upregulated and 19 downregulated) candidates that were functionally clustered into five annotation categories: response to wounding, protease inhibition, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, cellular migration, and amine biosynthetic processes. A complementary RTq-PCR study of 78 nominees selected thereof demonstrated significant differential expression of 55 genes (48 upregulated and seven downregulated) within biological replicates. Our hit list contains nine previously authenticated targets (16.36%, proof of concept) and 46 novel genes (83.6%) that have not yet been explicitly described as being differentially regulated within human primary keratinocytes. Direct vitamin D receptor response element predictions within the regulatory promoter regions of 50 of the RTq-PCR-validated targets agreed with known biological functionality and corroborated our stringent data validation pipeline. Altogether, our results indicate the value of continuing these kinds of gene expression studies, which contribute to an enhanced comprehension of calcitriol-mediated processes that may be dysregulated in human skin pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Kallikrein-related peptidase 10 (KLK10) has been implicated in the development of several types of cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyze the expression of KLK10 in 3 types of salivary gland tumour and normal salivary glands. MATERIALS AND METHODS A standard immunoperoxidase staining technique was used to assess the immunoexpression profile of KLK10 in normal salivary glands and 3 types of salivary gland tumour: pleomorphic adenoma, adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. RESULTS Pleomorphic adenomas showed significantly lower KLK10 levels than control tissues. Neither of the malignant tumours (adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma) showed a significant alteration in the immunoreactive scores of KLK10 in comparison with the normal salivary gland tissues. KLK10 immunoreactive scores were comparable in adenoid cystic carcinoma and mucoepidermoid carcinoma. Pleomorphic adenoma had significantly lower levels of KLK10 than mucoepidermoid carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS The finding of lower KLK10 levels in pleomorphic adenoma suggests aberrant expression in a tumour that develops primarily from myoepithelial cells. A kallikrein cascade may play a role in the development and/or outcome of some salivary gland tumours.

Abstract
Cancer chemoprevention is defined as the application of natural or synthetic agents to suppress or reverse cancer development and progression. In this field especially diet derived compounds have recently attracted researchers' attention as potential therapeutics generally exerting low toxicity compared with regular drugs. This review presents a survey of recent findings concerning the most promising dietary chemopreventive agents such as green tea polyphenols (i.e. catechins), long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids, glucosinolates/isothiocyanates, vitamins (i.e. vitamin D and folate) and minerals (i.e. calcium and selenium). Molecular targets involved in intrinsic pathways affected by these natural compounds are also shortly discussed.

Abstract
The vitamin D receptor (VDR), an evolutionarily conserved member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, links the metabolically activated vitamin D ligand, calcitriol, with its vitamin D-responsive target genes that are implicated in diverse physiological processes. By genome-wide protein-protein interaction screening of a keratinocyte cDNA library using VDR as bait, we found that the DEAD box RNA helicase p68, also referred to as DDX5, directly interacts with VDR. Domain analysis reveals that the ligand-binding domain of VDR is responsible for the binding, an interaction typical of NR co-activators. Interestingly, the VDR interacting domain of DDX5 lacks a LXXLL-motif and interaction analysis of helix 12 VDR mutants E420K, E420Q and L417S, known to decrease binding affinity of LxxLL motif-containing co-activators showed no change in their interactions. As further support that this novel interactor might be involved in vitamin D-stimulated transcriptional regulation, we demonstrate that VDR and DDX5 co-localize within the nuclei of HaCaT keratinocytes and sub-cellular protein fractions. In vivo validation studies demonstrate, that overexpression of DDX5 has the capability to enhance both, calcitriol-dependent transcription of known response genes and an extrachromosomal DR3-type reporter response. In agreement with this, shRNA based knock-down of DDX5 in keratinocytes compensates for this particular response. Finally, our findings reveal parallels between the VDR-DDX5 interaction and the well-characterized interaction between DDX5 and human estrogen receptor α and the androgen receptor, thus underscoring the physiological significance of the novel protein-protein interaction.

Abstract
We previously showed that select agents (methotrexate or Vitamin D), when administered as a preconditioning regimen, are capable of promoting cellular differentiation of epithelial cancer cells while simultaneously enhancing the efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA)-mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT). In solid tumors, pretreatment with Vitamin D simultaneously promotes cellular differentiation and leads to selective accumulation of target porphyrins (mainly protoporphyrin IX, PpIX) within diseased tissue. However, questions of whether or not the effects upon cellular differentiation are inexorably linked to PpIX accumulation, and whether these effects might occur in hyperproliferative noncancerous tissues, have remained unanswered. In this paper, we reasoned that psoriasis, a human skin disease in which abnormal cellular proliferation and differentiation plays a major role, could serve as a useful model to test the effects of pro-differentiating agents upon PpIX levels in a non-neoplastic setting. In particular, Vitamin D, a treatment for psoriasis that restores (increases) differentiation, might increase PpIX levels in psoriatic lesions and facilitate their responsiveness to ALA-PDT. This concept was tested in a pilot study of 7 patients with bilaterally-matched psoriatic plaques. A regimen in which calcipotriol 0.005% ointment was applied for 3 days prior to ALA-PDT with blue light, led to preferential increases in PpIX (~130%), and reductions in thickness, redness, scaling, and itching in the pretreated plaques. The results suggest that a larger clinical trial is warranted to confirm a role for combination treatments with Vitamin D and ALA-PDT for psoriasis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether ApaI, BsmI, FokI or TaqI polymorphisms in vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene confer susceptibility to psoriasis. Methods All related association studies published before January 2012 were retrieved and eligible ones were included in our meta-analysis. For each of the four polymorphisms, we explored the significance of the associations for the allele contrast as well as the recessive and dominant models in overall samples, Caucasians and East Asians. Heterogeneity was identified by sensitivity analysis and publication bias was examined by funnel plot and Egger's test. RESULTS 12 studies that met our selection criteria were included. For ApaI polymorphism, the dominant model for allele a in Caucasians produced a significant result [heterogeneity χ(2) = 3.46, P = 0.177, I(2) = 42.2%; OR(fixed-effect model) = 1.398 (1.011-1.934), z = 2.03, P = 0.043]. While in East Asians, pooling analysis under any genetic model acquired no-significant result. Significant heterogeneity was identified among East Asian studies and a Korean study accounted mostly for the heterogeneity detected. The heterogeneities were no longer statistically significant after removing this study, and the results of re-analyses in remaining studies have not been affected. Regarding TaqI polymorphism, the allele contrast discovered significant association between allele T and psoriasis susceptibility in Caucasians [heterogeneity χ(2) = 4.35, P = 0.226, I(2) = 31.1%; OR(fixed-effect model) = 1.287 (1.067-1.551), z = 2.64, P = 0.008]. As for the BsmI and FokI polymorphisms, allele contrast, recessive and dominant models produced non-significant results in either Caucasians or East Asians. The funnel plots and Egger's tests found no publication bias presenting in the studies analyzed. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis showed that ApaI, TaqI polymorphisms in VDR gene correlate with psoriasis in Caucasians.

Abstract
Many of the transcriptional and growth regulating activities of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) [1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)] in the intestine and colon are recapitulated in the human colorectal cancer cell LS180. We therefore used this line together with chromatin immunoprecipitation-seq and gene expression analyses to identify the vitamin D receptor (VDR)/retinoid X receptor (RXR) and transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2/TCF4)/β-catenin cistromes and the genes that they regulate. VDR and RXR colocalized to predominantly promoter distal, vitamin D response element-containing sites in a largely ligand-dependent manner. These regulatory sites control the expression of both known as well as novel 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) target genes. TCF4 and β-catenin cistromes partially overlapped, contained TCF/lymphoid enhancer-binding factor consensus elements, and were only modestly influenced by 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). However, the two heterodimer complexes colocalized at sites near a limited set of genes that included c-FOS and c-MYC; the expression of both genes was modulated by 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3). At the c-FOS gene, both VDR/RXR and TCF4/β-catenin bound to a single distal enhancer located 24 kb upstream of the transcriptional start site. At the c-MYC locus, however, binding was noted at a cluster of sites between -139 and -165 kb and at a site located -335 kb upstream. Examined as isolated enhancer fragments, these regions exhibited basal and 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3)-inducible activities that were interlinked to both VDR and β-catenin activation. These data reveal additional complexity in the regulation of target genes by 1,25-(OH)(2)D(3) and support a direct action of both VDR and the TCF4/β-catenin regulatory complex at c-FOS and c-MYC.

Abstract
Vitamin D was discovered as the cure for nutritional rickets. Classically, hormonal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), produced in the kidney by CYP27B1-catalyzed 1α-hydroxylation from its circulating 25-hydroxy precursor, has been considered to function as a critical endocrine regulator of calcium homeostasis. However, our appreciation of vitamin D metabolism and physiological function has evolved dramatically in recent years. First, vitamin D is now recognized as a pleiotropic regulator of human physiology, with emerging roles in cancer chemoprevention, cardio-protection, and, in particular, regulation of immune system functions. Moreover, CYP27B1 is very widely expressed, and evidence is rapidly accumulating that local CYP27B1-catalyzed production of 1,25D, controlled by tissue-specific signals, is critical for its physiological actions. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the innate immune system, where recent studies have shown that CYP27B1 expression is under control of several immune signaling pathways, and that signaling by 1,25D in macrophages and dendritic cells is critical for innate immune responses to infection. This review will describe our current knowledge of the signaling pathways that lead to 1,25D production in the immune system and the downstream signaling events it controls in response to pathogen recognition.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is the most common urological cancer with higher incidence rate in the endemic areas of Blackfoot disease (BFD) in southern Taiwan. The aim of this study was to utilize the proteomic approach to establish urinary protein patterns of bladder cancer. The experimental results showed that most patients with bladder cancer had proteinuria or albuminuria. The urine arsenic concentrations of bladder cancer patients in BFD areas were significantly higher than those patients from non-BFD areas. In the proteomic analysis, the urinary proteome was identified by nano-high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (nano-HPLC/ESI-MS/MS) followed by peptide fragmentation pattern analysis. We categorized 2782 unique proteins of which 89 proteins were identified with at least three unique matching peptide sequences. Among these 89 proteins, thirteen of them were not found in the control group and may represent proteins specific for bladder cancer. In this study, three proteins, SPINK5, ADAM28 and PTP1, were also confirmed by Western blotting and showed significant differential expression compared with the control group. ADAM28 may be used as a possible biomarker of bladder cancer.

Abstract
The main function of the skin is to protect the body against exogenous substances and excessive water loss. The skin barrier is located in the outermost layer of the skin, called the stratum corneum, which is composed of corneocytes, originating from the keratinocytes differentiation process, embedded in organized complex lipid domains. Moisturizing of the skin is recognized as the first anti-aging skin care. Skin moisturization is essential for its appearance, protection, complexion, softness and the reinforcement of its barrier properties against deleterious and exogenous environmental factors. The intrinsic water binding capacity of skin is not only due to the complex natural moisturizing factor present in corneocytes, but also to hyaluronic acid and a regulated water transport within the skin. Recent data shows that the water movements between the cells at the different levels of the epidermis are due to dedicated water and glycerol transport proteins named aquaporins. Their role in the skin moisturization is completed by corneodesmosomes and tight junctions. Water and pH are now shown to be of prime importance in the regulation of the epidermal enzymes linked to corneocytes desquamation and lipid synthesis. Furthermore, the level of moisturization of the skin is important in its protection against repeated exposure to various irritant agents or phenomena such as very frequent washing with strong tensioactive materials.

Abstract
Protein citrullination has been shown to regulate numerous physiological pathways (e.g., the innate immune response and gene transcription) and is, when dysregulated, known to be associated with numerous human diseases, including cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. This modification, also termed deimination, is catalyzed by a group of enzymes called the protein arginine deiminases (PADs). In mammals, there are five PAD family members (i.e., PADs 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) that exhibit tissue-specific expression patterns and vary in their subcellular localization. The kinetic characterization of PAD4 was recently reported, and these efforts guided the development of the two most potent PAD4 inhibitors (i.e., F- and Cl-amidine) known to date. In addition to being potent PAD4 inhibitors, we show here that Cl-amidine also exhibits a strong inhibitory effect against PADs 1 and 3, thus indicating its utility as a pan PAD inhibitor. Given the increasing number of diseases in which dysregulated PAD activity has been implicated, the development of PAD-selective inhibitors is of paramount importance. To aid that goal, we characterized the catalytic mechanism and substrate specificity of PADs 1 and 3. Herein, we report the results of these studies, which suggest that, like PAD4, PADs 1 and 3 employ a reverse protonation mechanism. Additionally, the substrate specificity studies provided critical information that aided the identification of PAD3-selective inhibitors. These compounds, denoted F4- and Cl4-amidine, are the most potent PAD3 inhibitors ever described.

Abstract
The 15 members of the kallikrein-related serine peptidase (KLK) family have diverse tissue-specific expression profiles and putative proteolytic functions. The kallikrein family is also emerging as a rich source of disease biomarkers with KLK3, commonly known as prostate-specific antigen, being the current serum biomarker for prostate cancer. The kallikrein locus is also notable because it is extraordinarily responsive to steroids and other hormones. Indeed, at least 14 functional hormone response elements have been identified in the kallikrein locus. A more comprehensive understanding of the transcriptional regulation of kallikreins may help the field make more informed hypotheses about the physiological functions of kallikreins and their effectiveness as biomarkers. In this review, we describe the organization of the kallikrein locus and the structure of kallikrein genes and proteins. We also focus on the transcriptional regulation of kallikreins by androgens, progestins, glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, estrogens, and other hormones in animal models and human prostate, breast, and reproductive tract tissues. The interaction of the androgen receptor with androgen response elements in the promoter and enhancer of KLK2 and KLK3 is also summarized in detail. There is evidence that all kallikreins are regulated by multiple nuclear receptors. Yet, apart from KLK2 and KLK3, it is not clear whether all kallikreins are direct transcriptional targets. Therefore, we argue that gaining more detailed information about the mechanisms that regulate kallikrein expression should be a priority of future studies and that the kallikrein locus will continue to be an important model in the era of genome-wide analyses.

Abstract
Kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) constitute a family of 15 highly conserved serine proteases encoded by the largest uninterrupted cluster of protease-encoding genes within the human genome. Recent studies, mostly relying on in vitro proteolysis of recombinant proteins, have suggested that KLK activities are regulated by proteolytic activation cascades that can operate in a tissue-specific manner, such as the semen liquefaction and skin desquamation cascades. The validity of KLK activation cascades in vivo largely remains to be demonstrated. Here, we focus on recent investigations showing that KLKs represent interesting players in the broader field of immunology based on their ability to bridge their inherent ability to degrade the extracellular matrix with major functions of the immune system. More specifically, KLKs assist in the infiltration of immune cells through the skin and the blood brain barrier, whereas they catalyze the generation of antimicrobial peptides by proteolytic activation and further processing of protein precursors. In an attempt to integrate current knowledge, we propose KLK-mediated pathways that are putatively involved in inflammation associated with skin wounding and central nervous system disorders, including multiple sclerosis. Finally, we present evidence of KLK participation in autoimmune diseases and allergies.

Abstract
Deimination (or citrullination) is a recently described post-translational modification, but its consequences are not yet well understood. It is catalysed by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs). These enzymes transform arginyl residues involved in a peptidyl link into citrullyl residues in a calcium-dependent manner. Several PAD substrates have already been identified like filaggrin and keratins K1 and K10 in the epidermis, trichohyalin in hair follicles, but also ubiquitous proteins like histones. PADs act in a large panel of physiological functions as cellular differentiation or gene regulation. It has been suggested that deimination plays a role in many major diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and psoriasis. Five human genes (PADIs), encoding five highly conserved paralogous enzymes (PAD1-4 and 6), have been characterized. These genes are clustered in a single locus, at 1p35-36 in man. Only PAD1-3 are expressed in human epidermis. PADs seem to be controlled at transcriptional, translational and activity levels and they present particular substrate specificities. In this review, we shall discuss these main biochemical, genetic and functional aspects of PADs together with their pathophysiological implications.

Abstract
Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs) catalyze deimination, converting arginyl to citrullyl residues. Only three PAD isotypes are detected in the epidermis where they play a crucial role, targeting filaggrin, a key actor for the tissue hydration and barrier functions. Their expression and activation depends on the keratinocyte differentiation state. To investigate this regulation, we used primary keratinocytes induced to differentiate either by increasing cell-density or by treatment with vitamin D. High cell-density increased PAD1 and 3, but not PAD2, at the mRNA and protein levels, and up-regulated protein deimination. By contrast, vitamin D increased PAD1-3 mRNA amounts, with distinct kinetics, but neither the proteins nor the deimination rate. Furthermore, auto-deimination was shown to decrease PAD activity, increasing the distances between the four major amino acids of the active site. In summary, deimination can be regulated at multiple levels: transcription of the PADI genes, translation of the corresponding mRNAs, and auto-deimination of PADs.

Abstract
Irradiation of human skin with ultraviolet B (280-320 nm) initiates the photochemical conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol via previtamin D3 to vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 needs for its activation two hydroxylation steps in the liver and kidney. The final product, hormonally active 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol), arrives via the circulation to its target tissues and acts in a genomic or nongenomic manner. It has been found that human skin irradiated with ultraviolet B also is able to produce calcitriol in substantial amounts. This cutaneous vitamin D3 pathway is unique and, most likely, of considerable relevance for healthy and diseased skin. It is well known that topical application of calcitriol and its analogs can improve hyperproliferative skin diseases. Some studies have convincingly demonstrated that calcitriol and other vitamin D analogs may also be used for the treatment of immunological, inflammatory, and infectious skin diseases. More recently, it has been found that calcitriol or vitamin D analogs have photoprotective effects and can reduce UV-induced deoxyribonucleic acid damage.

Abstract
Terminal differentiation of skin keratinocytes is a vertically directed multi-step process that is tightly controlled by the sequential expression of a variety of genes. To examine the gene expression profile in calcium-induced keratinocyte differentiation, we constructed a normalized cDNA library using mRNA isolated from these calcium-treated keratinocytes. After sequencing about 10,000 clones, we were able to obtain 4,104 independent genes. They consisted of 3,699 annotated genes and 405 expressed sequence tags (ESTs). Some were the genes involved in constituting epidermal structures and others were unknown genes that are probably associated with keratinocytes. In particular, we were able to identify genes located at the chromosome 1q21, the locus for the epidermal differentiation complex, and 19q13.1, another probable locus for epidermal differentiation-related gene clusters. One EST located at the chromosome 19q13.1 showed increased expression by calcium treatment, suggesting a novel candidate gene relevant to keratinocyte differentiation. These results demonstrate the complexity of the transcriptional profile of keratinocytes, providing important clues on which to base further investigations of the molecular events underlying keratinocyte differentiation.

Abstract
Kallikrein-related peptidases constitute a single family of 15 (chymo)trypsin-like proteases (KLK1-15) with pleiotropic physiological roles. Aberrant regulation of KLKs has been associated with diverse diseases such as hypertension, renal dysfunction, skin disorders, inflammation, neurodegeneration, and cancer. Recent studies suggested that coordinated activation and regulation of KLK activity are achieved via a complex network of interactions referred to as the "KLK activome." However, it remains to be validated whether these hypothetical KLK activation cascade pathways are operative in vivo. In addition, KLKs have emerged as versatile signaling molecules. In summary, KLKs represent attractive biomarkers for clinical applications and potential therapeutic targets for common human pathologies.

Abstract
This paper reviews the current understanding of the vitamin D-induced differentiation of neoplastic cells, which results in the generation of cells that acquire near-normal, mature phenotype. Examples of the criteria by which differentiation is recognized in each cell type are provided, and only those effects of 1alpha,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) (1,25D) on cell proliferation and survival that are associated with the differentiation process are emphasized. The existing knowledge, often fragmentary, of the signaling pathways that lead to vitamin D-induced differentiation of colon, breast, prostate, squamous cell carcinoma, osteosarcoma, and myeloid leukemia cancer cells is outlined. The important distinctions between the different mechanisms of 1,25D-induced differentiation that are cell-type and cell-context specific are pointed out where known. There is a considerable body of evidence that the principal human cancer cells can be suitable candidates for chemoprevention or differentiation therapy with vitamin D. However, further studies are needed to fully understand the underlying mechanisms in order to improve the therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
Vitamin D has pleiotropic effects that go beyond its traditional role in calcium homeostasis. Hundreds of genes with vitamin D receptor response elements directly or indirectly influence cell cycling and proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Vitamin D compounds also have effects on cell function that are nongenomic. The noncalcemic actions of vitamin D influence normal and pathological cell growth, carcinogenesis, immune function, and cardiovascular physiology. This review examines many of the various mechanisms by which vitamin D alters cellular growth and differentiation and explores cell-specific factors that influence responsiveness to vitamin D.

Abstract
Along with other organs like prostate, bones and kidney, skin is capable of vitamin D synthesis. Primarily keratinocytes but also macrophages and fibroblasts synthesize active vitamin D from cholesterol precursors by photochemical activation. The synthesized vitamin D functions by binding to nuclear vitamin D receptors. Vitamin D deficiency usually manifests as rickets in childhood although it is today only relevant in diseases characterized by malabsorption due to today's recommended vitamin D prophylaxis. Excessive doses of vitamin D are the usual cause of increased levels. The most common therapeutic target of Vitamin D is psoriasis. Here, topical preparations are usually employed; their anti-proliferative and cell differentiation-promoting action is mediated via binding to cutaneous vitamin D receptors.

Abstract
In the skin, expression of several matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) occurs in response to tissue injury, tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, apoptosis, and inflammation. The recently cloned MMP-21 has been implicated in skin development and various epithelial cancers. In this study, we found that it is also expressed by differentiated keratinocytes (KCs) in various benign skin disorders, in which it was not associated with KC apoptosis or proliferation, and in organotypic cultures. Furthermore, MMP-21 was induced in keratinocytes in association with increased calcium and presence of the differentiation marker filaggrin. In stably transfected A431 and HEK293 cell lines, MMP-21 increased invasion of cells but did not associate with increased apoptosis, proliferation, or epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Of various agents tested in HaCaT cell cultures, only retinoic acid (10(-6) M) and staurosporine (2.5 x 10(-8) M) upregulated MMP-21 mRNA and protein expression, whereas tumor promoters, hormones, or dexamethasone were without effect. Our results suggest that MMP-21 may be an important protease in the terminal differentiation of keratinocytes.

Abstract
The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) is a transcription factor of the nuclear receptor family, activation of which by aldosterone enhances salt reabsorption in the kidney. The MR is also expressed in nonclassical aldosterone target cells (brain, heart, and skin), in which its functions are incompletely understood. To explore the functional importance of MR in mammalian skin, we have generated a conditional doxycycline-inducible model of MR overexpression, resulting in double-transgenic (DT) mice [keratin 5-tTa/tetO-human MR (hMR)], targeting the human MR specifically to keratinocytes of the epidermis and hair follicle (HF). Expression of hMR throughout gestation resulted in early postnatal death that could be prevented by antagonizing MR signaling. DT mice exhibited premature epidermal barrier formation at embryonic day 16.5, reduced HF density and epidermal atrophy, increased keratinocyte apoptosis at embryonic day 18.5, and premature eye opening. When hMR expression was initiated after birth to overcome mortality, DT mice developed progressive alopecia and HF cysts, starting 4 months after hMR induction, preceded by dystrophy and cycling abnormalities of pelage HF. In contrast, interfollicular epidermis, vibrissae, and footpad sweat glands in DT mice were normal. This new mouse model reveals novel biological roles of MR signaling and offers an instructive tool for dissecting nonclassical functions of MR signaling in epidermal, hair follicle, and ocular physiology.

Abstract
Human tissue kallikreins (KLKs or kallikrein-related peptidases) are a subgroup of extracellular serine proteases that act on a wide variety of physiological substrates, while they display aberrant expression patterns in certain types of cancer. Differential expression patterns lead to the exploitation of these proteins as new cancer biomarkers for hormone-dependent malignancies, in particular. The prostate-specific antigen or kallikrein-related peptidase 3 (PSA/KLK3) is an established tumor marker for the diagnosis and monitoring of prostate cancer. It is well documented that specific KLK genes are co-expressed in tissues and in various pathologies suggesting their participation in complex proteolytic cascades. Here, we review the currently established knowledge on the involvement of KLK proteolytic cascades in the regulation of physiological and pathological processes in prostate tissue and in skin. It is well established that the activity of KLKs is often regulated by auto-activation and subsequent autolytic internal cleavage leading to enzymatic inactivation, as well as by inhibitory serpins or by allosteric inhibition by zinc ions. Redistribution of zinc ions and alterations in their concentration due to physiological or pathological reasons activates specific KLKs initiating the kallikrein cascade(s). Recent studies on kallikrein substrate specificity allowed for the construction of a kallikrein interaction network involved in semen liquefaction and prostate cancer, as well as in skin pathologies, such as skin desquamation, psoriasis and cancer. Furthermore, we discuss the crosstalks between known proteolytic pathways and the kallikrein cascades, with emphasis on the activation of plasmin and its implications in prostate cancer. These findings may have clinical implications for the underlying molecular mechanism and management of cancer and other disorders in which KLK activity is elevated.
