In this study, we combined the specificity of monoclonal antibody labeling for protein-bound glutathione (GS-Pro) with the ability of confocal microscopy to localize molecules with high spatial resolution. We performed immunofluorescence analysis on dermal fibroblasts, both in steady state than in proliferative conditions, and on in situ extracted matrix samples

Irritancy and Allergic Responses Induced by Exposure to the Indoor Air Chemical 4-Oxopentanal
18, May 2012Over the last two decades, there has been an increasing awareness regarding the potential impact of indoor air pollution on human health.
ConclusionsThis work reports in detail the interactions between HMSC and HDMEC in a long‐term co‐culture 2D system. Endothelial and mesenchymal stem cells cultured in the present co‐culture conditions ensured proliferation and phenotype differentiation of cell types, osteogenesis stimulation and over‐expression of angiogenesis‐related genes, in the same culture system

Successful treatment of lamotrigine-associated drug hypersensitivity syndrome with intravenous IgG
16, May 2012We present the case of a 30-year-old woman with history of tonic-clonic seizures who developed a generalized, erythematous, morbilliform skin eruption along with oral and ocular ulcerations 4 months into treatment with lamotrigine. Skin examination was remarkable for confluent and discrete bright red, flat-topped papules on her trunk, extremities, face, neck, palms, and soles over a background of vascular hyperemia. Mucosal surfaces presented multiple ill-defined superficial erosions and ulcerations over her lips extending onto the oral commissures.

Conclusions: Constitutive activation of c‐Abl/PKC‐δ/Fli1 pathway at least partially contributes to the establishment of pro‐fibrotic phenotype in LSc dermal fibroblasts, which provides a novel molecular basis to explain the efficacy of imatinib against skin sclerosis in a certain subset of LSc.
