Skin Cancer-Associated S. aureus Strains Can Induce DNA Damage in Human Keratinocytes by Downregulating DNA Repair and Promoting Oxidative Stress
25 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Actinic keratosis (AK) is a premalignant lesion, common on severely photodamaged skin, that can progress over time to cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). A high bacterial load of Staphylococcus aureus is associated with AK and SCC, but it is unknown whether this has a direct impact on skin cancer development. To determine whether S. aureus can have cancer-promoting effects on skin cells, we performed RNA...
