Basis For Abnormal Desquamation And Permeability Barrier Dysfunction in RXLI

Abstract: Mutations in the gene for steroid sulfatase (SSase), are responsible for recessive x-linked ichthyosis (RXLI). As a consequence of SSase deficiency, its substrate, cholesterol sulfate (CSO4), accumulates in the epidermis. Accumulation of this amphipathic lipid in the outer epidermis provokes both a typical scaling phenotype and permeability barrier dysfunction. Research on RXLI has illuminated several, potentially overlapping pathogenic mechanisms and provided insights about the role of SSase and CSO4 in norma… Show more

“…7 The combination of all alterations observed with this technique may be diagnostic for many forms of ichthyosis. 8 Most importantly, the ultrastructural demonstration of disturbances of lipid metabolism gives valuable insights into the pathophysiologic basis of many ichthyoses 11,60,[159][160][161][162][163][164] and enables a function-driven approach. 7,8,11 Histopathology, immunochemistry, and other nongenetic analyses Routine histopathological findings in most ichthyoses are nondiagnostic, often demonstrating only epidermal hyperplasia and varying degrees of orthohyperkeratosis.…”

“…39,52 XLI (STS) typically shows retained corneodesmosomes and phase separation of lipids in the stratum corneum interstices. 53 Harlequin ichthyosis (ABCA12) and CEDNIK (SNAP29) exhibit abnormal LBs 54 due to impaired lipid transport and abnormal intercellular lamellae in the stratum corneum. 55 Gaucher disease (glucocerebrosidase (GBA)) is characterized by impaired processing of the extracellular lipids derived from the LBs.…”

“…Cholesterol sulfotransferase type 2B isoform 1b (SULT2B1b) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of cholesterol sulfate, a critical regulator of keratinocyte differentiation and desquamation, as well as a mediator of barrier homeostasis (84,85). PPAR and LXR activators increased SULT2B1b mRNA levels in keratinocytes independently of their differentiation stage, with the most dramatic effect (a 26-fold increase) induced by the PPARg activator ciglitazone (86).…”
