Integrated analysis of dermal blister fluid proteomics and genome-wide skin gene expression in systemic sclerosis: an observational study

Abstract excerpt

Background: Skin fibrosis is a hallmark feature of systemic sclerosis. Skin biopsy transcriptomics and blister fluid proteomics give insight into the local environment of the skin. We have integrated these modalities with the aim of developing a surrogate for the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), using candidate genes and proteins from the skin and blister fluid as anchors to identify key analytes in the plasma....
