Abstract
BACKGROUND The skin is the largest organ in the human body and serves as a multilayered protective shield from the environment as well as a sensor and thermal regulator. However, despite its importance, many details about skin structure and function at the molecular level remain incompletely understood. Recent advances in liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) proteomics have enabled the quantification and characterization of the proteomes of a number of clinical samples, including normal and diseased skin. SUMMARY Here, we review the current state of the art in proteomic analysis of the skin. We provide a brief overview of the technique and skin sample collection methodologies as well as a number of recent examples to illustrate the utility of this strategy for advancing a broader understanding of the pathology of diseases as well as new therapeutic options. KEY MESSAGES Proteomic studies of healthy skin and skin diseases can identify potential molecular biomarkers for improved diagnosis and patient stratification as well as potential targets for drug development. Collectively, efforts such as the Human Skinatlas offer improved opportunities for enhancing clinical practice and patient outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent technical advances in the extraction of dermal interstitial fluid (ISF) have stimulated interest in using this rather unexploited biofluid as an alternative to blood for detection and prediction of disease. However, knowledge about the presence of useful biomarkers for health monitoring in ISF is still limited. In this study, we characterized the lipidome of human suction blister fluid (SBF) as a surrogate for pure ISF and compared it to that of plasma. METHODS Plasma and SBF samples were obtained from 18 healthy human volunteers after an overnight fast. Total lipids were extracted and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. One hundred ninety-three lipid species covering 10 complex lipid classes were detected and quantified in both plasma and SBF using multiple reaction monitoring. A fraction of the lipid extract was subjected to alkaline transesterification and fatty acid methyl esters were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. RESULTS The total concentration of lipids in SBF was 17% of the plasma lipid concentration. The molar fraction of lipid species within lipid classes, as well as total fatty acids, showed a generally high correlation between plasma and SBF. However, SBF had larger fractions of lysophospholipids and diglycerides relative to plasma, and consequently less diacylphospholipids and triglycerides. Principal component analysis revealed that the interindividual variation in SBF lipid profiles was considerably larger than the within-subject variation between plasma and SBF. CONCLUSIONS Plasma and SBF lipid profiles show high correlation and SBF could be used interchangeably with blood for the analysis of major lipids used in health monitoring.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to elucidate differentially expressed proteins in lesional tissues of psoriasis vulgaris (PV) and normal tissues. Lesional skin tissues were collected from PV patients, along with normal skin tissues from healthy individuals. The protein content of the samples was extracted and then separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DGE). Any proteins that were differentially expressed in the lesional skin of PV patients compared with the healthy controls were analyzed by mass spectrometry and bioinformatics. In the stratum corneum and dermis of PV patients, the total number of proteins identified by 2-DGE was 1,969±21 and 1,928±49, respectively. Of these, 30 proteins were differentially expressed in the PV patients, of which 14 were identified as: Type 1 keratin cytoskeleton proteins (including K1C10, K1C14, K1C15 and K1C16); the type 2 keratin cytoskeleton protein, K2C1; actin-associated proteins (including ARP3, ACTA and ACTBM); prohibitin; heat shock proteins (HSPB1 and CH60); centrosome protein, CP135; and membrane associated proteins (including ANXA4 and ANXA5). The differential expression of protein between PV lesions and normal tissue can be considered as pathological biomarker. Elucidating the abnormal regulation of these proteins can provide mechanism of the development of PV and may contribute to significant approaches for PV treatments.

Abstract
Background Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a disabling disease that is sometimes difficult to treat. Although spinal cord stimulation (SCS) can reduce pain in most patients with CRPS, some do not achieve the desired reduction in pain. Moreover, the pain reduction can diminish over time even after an initially successful period of SCS. Pain reduction can be regained by increasing the SCS frequency, but this has not been investigated in a prospective trial. This study compares pain reduction using five SCS frequencies (standard 40 Hz, 500 Hz, 1200 Hz, burst and placebo stimulation) in patients with CRPS to determine which of the modalities is most effective. Design All patients with a confirmed CRPS diagnosis that have unsuccessfully tried all other therapies and are eligible for SCS, can enroll in this trial (primary implantation group). CRPS patients that already receive SCS therapy, or those previously treated with SCS but with loss of therapeutic effect over time, can also participate (re-implantation group). Once all inclusion criteria are met and written informed consent obtained, patients will undergo a baseline assessment (T0). A 2-week trial with SCS is performed and, if successful, a rechargeable internal pulse generator (IPG) is implanted. For the following 3 months the patient will have standard 40 Hz stimulation therapy before a follow-up assessment (T1) is performed. Those who have completed the T1 assessment will enroll in a 10-week crossover period in which the five SCS frequencies are tested in five periods, each frequency lasting for 2 weeks. At the end of the crossover period, the patient will choose which frequency is to be used for stimulation for an additional 3 months, until the T2 assessment. Discussion Currently no trials are available that systematically investigate the importance of variation in frequency during SCS in patients with CRPS. Data from this trial will provide better insight as to whether SCS with a higher frequency, or with burst stimulation, results in more effective pain relief.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate the efficacy of an unbiased proteomics screening approach for studying protein expression changes in the KC-Tie2 psoriasis mouse model, identifying multiple protein expression changes in the mouse and validating these changes in human psoriasis. KC-Tie2 mouse skin samples (n = 3) were compared with littermate controls (n = 3) using gel-based fractionation followed by label-free protein expression analysis. 5482 peptides mapping to 1281 proteins were identified and quantitated: 105 proteins exhibited fold-changes ≥2.0 including: stefin A1 (average fold change of 342.4 and an average p = 0.0082; cystatin A, human ortholog); slc25a5 (average fold change of 46.2 and an average p = 0.0318); serpinb3b (average fold change of 35.6 and an average p = 0.0345; serpinB1, human ortholog); and kallikrein related peptidase 6 (average fold change of 4.7 and an average p = 0.2474; KLK6). We independently confirmed mouse gene expression-based increases of selected genes including serpinb3b (17.4-fold, p < 0.0001), KLK6 (9-fold, p = 0.002), stefin A1 (7.3-fold; p < 0.001), and slc25A5 (1.5-fold; p = 0.05) using qRT-PCR on a second cohort of animals (n = 8). Parallel LC/MS/MS analyses on these same samples verified protein-level increases of 1.3-fold (slc25a5; p < 0.05), 29,000-fold (stefinA1; p < 0.01), 322-fold (KLK6; p < 0.0001) between KC-Tie2 and control mice. To underscore the utility and translatability of our combined approach, we analyzed gene and protein expression levels in psoriasis patient skin and primary keratinocytes versus healthy controls. Increases in gene expression for slc25a5 (1.8-fold), cystatin A (3-fold), KLK6 (5.8-fold), and serpinB1 (76-fold; all p < 0.05) were observed between healthy controls and involved lesional psoriasis skin and primary psoriasis keratinocytes. Moreover, slc25a5, cystatin A, KLK6, and serpinB1 protein were all increased in lesional psoriasis skin compared with normal skin. These results highlight the usefulness of preclinical disease models using readily-available mouse skin and demonstrate the utility of proteomic approaches for identifying novel peptides/proteins that are differentially regulated in psoriasis that could serve as sources of auto-antigens or provide novel therapeutic targets for the development of new anti-psoriatic treatments.

Abstract
Aberrations in skin morphology and functionality can cause acute and chronic skin-related diseases that are the focus of dermatological research. Mechanically induced skin suction blister fluid may serve as a potential, alternative human body fluid for quantitative mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics in order to assist in the understanding of the mechanisms and causes underlying skin-related diseases. The combination of abundant-protein removal with iTRAQ technology and multidimensional fractionation techniques improved the number of identified protein groups. A relative comparison of a cohort of 8 healthy volunteers was thus recruited in order to assess the net variability encountered in a healthy scenario. The technology enabled the identification, to date, of the highest number of reported protein groups (739) with concomitant relative quantitative data for over 90% of all proteins with high reproducibility and accuracy. The use of iTRAQ 8-plex resulted in a 66% decrease in protein identifications but, despite this, provided valuable insight into interindividual differences of the healthy control samples. The geometric mean ratio was close to 1 with 95% of all ratios ranging between 0.45 and 2.05 and a calculated mean coefficient of variation of 15.8%, indicating a lower biological variance than that reported for plasma or urine. By applying a multistep sample processing, the obtained sensitivity and accuracy of quantitative MS analysis demonstrates the prospective value of the approach in future research into skin diseases.

Abstract
Herpes zoster (HZ) is a Varicella zoster virus infection disease. Previous studies have presumed the connection between development of HZ and involvement of cellular immunity in peripheral blood. However, whether cellular immunity plays a role in the local skin lesion has not been addressed. To explore the levels of T-helper cell (Th)1/Th2 type cytokine profiles in the blister fluid of the skin lesions from the patients with HZ and its role in pathogenesis, we used the cytometric bead array kit to compare the levels of cytokines (interleukin [IL]-2, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, IL-10 and IL-4) in blister fluid from 46 patients with those from the suction blister fluids from 20 volunteers without any infectious disease (the control group). The results indicated that the levels of Th1 cytokines, IL-2 and TNF-α in the blister fluid from the patients' skin lesions were significantly lower than those from the control group, whereas the levels of Th2 cytokines IL-10 and IL-4 were significantly higher than those in the control group. Moreover, significant variation of the levels of Th1/Th2 cytokines (IL-2, TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-4) in the blister fluid from the HZ patients' lesions was also observed among different stages of the disease. It is concluded that a cytokine imbalance was present in the local lesions of patients with HZ during disease development. Our data suggested that the Th immunity was associated with disease activity, which may play an important role in the pathogenesis of HZ.

Abstract
Psoriasis is one of the most prevalent inflammatory dermatoses. At the same time, its pathogenesis has not been studied
in full. Proteome profiling is currently a promising method to study the biological mechanisms of developing different
diseases. Proteome technologies make it possible to detect changes in the skin protein profile in psoriatic patients and
identify the revealed proteins. The proteins serve as potential targets for drugs or biomarkers for assessing the patients
individual drug response. The article describes the key achievements in the field of studying the pathogenesis of psoriasis
using proteome technologies (two-dimensional electrophoresis and mass spectrometry) set out in the latest literature
sources, and also analyzes the results of the authors studies aimed at detecting proteins being markers of the patients
response to the infliximab therapy.

Abstract
The extracellular fluid space is the site of intercellular communication and represents an important source of mediators that can shed light on the parenchymal environment. Sampling of this compartment using continuous microdialysis allows assessment of the temporal changes in extracellular mediators involved in tissue homeostasis and disease processes. However, novel biomarker identification is limited by the current need to utilize specific, targeted molecular assays. The aim of our study was to explore the use of qualitative and quantitative proteomic approaches to define the protein content of dermal dialysate. Timed dermal dialysate samples were collected from healthy human volunteers for 5 h following probe insertion, using a 3,000-kDa MWCO membrane perfused at a rate of 3 μl/min. Dialysate proteins were identified using GeLC-MS/MS and iTRAQ approaches and functions assigned according to the Gene Ontology classification system. More than 80 proteins (size range 11-516 kDa) originating from both extracellular and intracellular fluid space were identified using the qualitative approach of GeLC-MS/MS. Quantitative iTRAQ data were obtained for 27 proteins with relative change ratios between consecutive timed samples showing changes of >1.5-fold. Interstitial proteins can be identified and measured using shotgun proteomic techniques and changes detected during the acute inflammatory response. Our findings provide a platform from which to explore novel protein biomarkers and their modulation in health and disease.

Abstract
Although serum/plasma has been the preferred source for identification of disease biomarkers, these efforts have been met with little success, in large part due the relatively small number of highly abundant proteins that render the reliable detection of low abundant disease-related proteins challenging due to the expansive dynamic range of concentration of proteins in this sample. Proximal fluid, the fluid derived from the extracellular milieu of tissues, contains a large repertoire of shed and secreted proteins that are likely to be present at higher concentrations relative to plasma/serum. It is hypothesized that many, if not all, proximal fluid proteins exchange with peripheral circulation, which has provided significant motivation for utilizing proximal fluids as a primary sample source for protein biomarker discovery. The present review highlights recent advances in proximal fluid proteomics, including the various protocols utilized to harvest proximal fluids along with detailing the results from mass spectrometry- and antibody-based analyses.

Abstract
The incidence rate of pressure ulcers in the USA ranges from 0.4% to 38% in acute care settings and from 2.2% to 23.9% in long-term care settings, and their treatment costs are in the billions of dollars yearly. The proteome of wound fluid may contain early indicators or biomarkers associated with healing in pressure ulcers that would enable treatment regimes to be optimised for each individual. Wound fluid was collected from the interior and periphery of 19 chronic pressure ulcers at 15 time points during 42 days for an analysis of protein expression. Proteins were fractionated using two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A comparison of the spot distributions indicates a biochemical difference between the interior and the periphery of wounds. Pressure ulcers that healed show a greater number of spots for interior and peripheral locations combined over time when compared with wounds that did not heal. Using this technique, protein S100A9 was identified as a potential biomarker of wound healing. The identification of differences within the proteome of healing versus non healing pressure ulcers could have great significance in the use of current treatments, as well as the development of new therapeutic interventions.

Abstract
The microcirculation appears to be impaired in cold chronic complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). This double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial investigated the effect of the nitric oxide (NO) donor isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) on the peripheral blood flow in patients with chronic CRPS. Twenty-four patients received 1% ISDN in Vaseline or a placebo ointment applied to the dorsum of the affected hand four times daily for 10 weeks. The patients participated in a physical therapy program to improve activity. The primary outcome measure was blood distribution in the affected extremity, which was determined by measuring the skin temperature using videothermography. We also measured NO and endothelin-1 concentrations in blister fluid, pain using the visual analog scale, and activity limitations using an upper limb activity monitor and the Disabilities of Arm Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire. ISDN failed to produce a significant improvement in temperature asymmetry in chronic cold CRPS patients, and it did not result in the expected reduction in pain and increase in activity compared with placebo either. There may be other central or peripheral factors contributing to the disturbed vasodynamics in cold chronic CRPS that are not influenced by NO substitution. This study does not show an improvement of the regional blood distribution by ISDN in the involved extremity of patients with cold-type CRPS.

Abstract
Early diagnosis is important for effective disease management. Measurement of biomarkers present at the local level of the skin could be advantageous in facilitating the diagnostic process. The analysis of the proteome of suction blister fluid, representative for the interstitial fluid of the skin, is therefore a desirable first step in the search for potential biomarkers involved in biological pathways of particular diseases. Here, we describe a global analysis of the suction blister fluid proteome as potential body fluid for biomarker proteins. The suction blister fluid proteome was compared with a serum proteome analyzed using identical protocols. By using stringent criteria allowing less than 1% false positive identifications, we were able to detect, using identical experimental conditions and amount of starting material, 401 proteins in suction blister fluid and 240 proteins in serum. As a major result of our analysis we construct a prejudiced list of 34 proteins, relatively highly and uniquely detected in suction blister fluid as compared to serum, with established and putative characteristics as biomarkers. We conclude that suction blister fluid might potentially serve as a good alternative biomarker body fluid for diseases that involve the skin.

Abstract
Background In complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS1) pro-inflammatory mediators and vascular changes play an important role in the sustained development and outcome of the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the involvement of vasoactive substances endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) during early chronic CRPS1. Methods Included were 29 patients with CRPS 1 who were diagnosed during the acute stage of their disease and observed during follow-up visits. Disease activity and impairment were determined and artificial suction blisters were made on the CRPS1 and the contralateral extremities for measurements of IL-6, TNF-α, ET-1 and nitrate/nitrite (NOx). Results The levels of IL-6, TNF-α and ET-1 in blister fluid in the CRPS1 extremity versus the contralateral extremity were significantly increased and correlated with each other, whereas NOx levels were decreased. Conclusion The NOx/ET-1 ratio appears to be disturbed in the intermediate stage of CRPS, resulting in vasoconstriction and consequently in a diminished tissue blood distribution.
