Topical Aminosalicylic Acid Improves Keratinocyte Differentiation in an Inducible Mouse Model of Harlequin Ichthyosis

Abstract: Summary Mutations in the lipid transport protein ABCA12 cause the life-threatening skin condition harlequin ichthyosis (HI), which is characterized by the loss of skin barrier function, inflammation, and dehydration. Inflammatory responses in HI increase disease severity by impairing keratinocyte differentiation, suggesting amelioration of this phenotype as a possible therapy for the condition. Existing treatments for HI are based around the use of retinoids, but their value in treating patients dur… Show more

“…Since HI is the most severe skin barrier disease, we reasoned that targeted deletion of Abca12, the causative gene mutated in HI 9,10 , would provide us a tool to disrupt lamellar granules and interrogate barrier function in different epithelial sub-compartments. We therefore first generated mice harboring a null allele of Abca12 that is constitutively disrupted by a LacZ insertion between exons 3 and 4, similar to previously described 33 (Figure S2A-B). Newborn homozygous mutant pups (Abca12-KO) recapitulated HI features, including taut, shiny skin; thickened and compacted stratum corneum; and death from rapid dehydration [34][35][36] (Figure 2A).…”
