Fibroblast-Derived Dermal Matrix Drives Development of Aggressive Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Patients with Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa
8 May 2012
Abstract excerpt
Patients with the genetic skin blistering disease recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) develop aggressive cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC). Metastasis leading to mortality is greater in RDEB than in other patient groups with cSCC. Here we investigate the dermal component in RDEB using mRNA expression profiling to compare cultured fibroblasts isolated from individuals without cSCC and directly...
